Whoopsies! Lindsay Lohan forgot to tan her hands
Fri, 24 June 2011 9:48AM
This morning I would like to say a big thank you to one Lindsay Lohan for she has kindly put herself in the beauty firing line simply to teach us all a lesson:
IF YOU’RE GOING TO TAN YOUR ENTIRE BODY, FOR THE LOVE OF THE BEAUTY GODS, DON’T FORGET TO TAN YOUR HANDS, TOO.
Why? Well, if you don’t, you end up looking like this:
That’s one epic tan fail, Primps.
Here, take a look at how horrid this looks up close (but please excuse the blur factor):
Gross, right?
It looks as though she’s applied her fake tan using one of those magnificent tanning gloves, removed them, and then totally forgotten to blend the tanning product down over her hands, too. It’s actually rather hilarious.
What’s even funnier, though, Primps, is that this isn’t the first time she’s done this. Do you remember this ‘sock tan’ disaster? It may just trump the hand disaster…
Hmmm…I’m not sure what to say, Primps, but it appears court battles are not the only problem Linds is dealing with right now.
Primps,
Do you think it’s funny Lindsay would forget to tan her hands?
Do you ever do this by mistake?
What’s your worst fake tan disaster?

Haha wow she really is the queen of how not to fake tan. Thanks for the Friday funny Cherie!

I’ve been a victim of the sock tan disaster! Some beauticians get paranoid about girls coming back with dirty feet because the tan grabs on to the dry spots, but I know beauticians who have avoided this by applying a thin layer, and some work on my part to keep my feet moisturised! Ps love your posts and love your work Zoe!

She should also remember to tan behind her ear if she has her hair up too.
I can’t talk though, I have a pic of me with very patchy legs.

How does one forget to tan all over? Oh Lindsay, what can i say lol
Posted by: Ami // Fri, 24 June 2011 10:37am
Oh dear! She could also try & blend in her extensions, or not wear her hair so tightly pulled back!
Posted by: chloe.x Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 10:39am
Haha, oh dear. That is precisely why I stay away from fake tan!
Posted by: Coconal Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 10:46am
She looks really funny! I can’t believe she went out in public like that!
That dress she’s wearing in the third photo is really cute though!

She is a naturally pretty girl who is ruining her good looks. Needs to lay off the over processed bleached hair, the lip fillers, and very very obviously the fake tan.
Lindsay’s Do’s are my Don’ts!

Oh dear! Lindsay is a bit of a mess isn’t she?!
And how do you miss your feet. Didn’t she look in the mirror before she left the house?!
Posted by: hun13e Supporter // Fri, 24 June 2011 12:26pm
oh geez, that is so bad i wonder if it’s real.. how can she walk out of the house looking like that?!?!
Posted by: Claires Newbie // Fri, 24 June 2011 12:36pm
The Best thing is that she has her own line of fake tan, of which she is an ambassador…. Not winning any customers here!!
Posted by: MayaS Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 01:20pm
Oooh deary deary dear. So shocking it’s seriously not worth fake tanning at all if it’s going to look like thise! She’s definitely a serial offender when it comed to fake tan errors – I think she needs to pull a Cherie and embrace the pale!
Posted by: Louise-1295043242 Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 01:39pm
aaargh ha ha it hurts my eyes!!
so much worse that the fake tan is a deep oompah loompah orange, and her skin is naturally so translucent white.. the contrast is huge!
and she clearly didnt learn the first time around did she? also the hands are worse i think.. at least she could boots on to hide the white feet!
Posted by: Julieow Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 01:44pm
LiLo has more heinous crimes against fake tanning than she does actual crimes… dirty, dirty,dirty, makes me never want to fake tan again, bah

The dress in the 3rd picture is not very nice… it’s chequered black and grey, one shoulder (with bra showing!)
Fake tan is an art form as far as i’m concerned.. and for very pale people – just use a moisturiser with tan in it!! Subtle!

My god, you’d think celebrities, with all their money and contacts, would not be making such epic mistakes like this?! She really is the poster girl for how NOT to tan, the lack of blending is one thing, but the ridiculous contrast of her her tanned vs untanned skin is unbelievable! It’s oompa loompas like her who give fake tanning a very bad name!

How funny walking out with different color skins…shocker!!, Must be in a hurry and run out of time to tan the hands and the authority is at the front door!! ahahah
Posted by: bluebird Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 02:31pm
This is the reason I only use fake tan subtly on my legs and feet…avoids streaking/missing bits!
Posted by: beautybee1 Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 02:38pm
How can such a thing happen? Was she wearing gloves in the tanning salon? Fair enough, my fake tan looks a bit streaky but I don’t have the money to pay professionals but she does!
Posted by: dellie Devotee // Fri, 24 June 2011 03:01pm
ha ha that looks shocking!!
Posted by: samuel Devotee // Fri, 24 June 2011 03:03pm
Lindsay should get this type of thing professionally done as she seem to have more money than sense.
Posted by: Bridals // Fri, 24 June 2011 03:03pm
Why does she do it, she has the complexion that lends it self to porcelain white, she sould just go al naturale!
Posted by: Tina-1291133452 Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 04:54pm
maybe shes trying to start a new trend lol.
Posted by: RROZZ Enthusiast // Fri, 24 June 2011 04:54pm
Ah well, the sooner we all can be happy with our natural skin colour, the better.
Posted by: strawbsundae Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 06:32pm
oh my goodness! how embarassing!
Posted by: nidhi12345 Enthusiast // Fri, 24 June 2011 09:23pm
OMG she looks funny…haha
Posted by: pollyanna21 Devotee // Fri, 24 June 2011 09:45pm
Wow, that’s extreme! I had a similar thing happen at my year 12 formal, where the spray tan lady forgot to do my hands, it wasn’t as obvious as poor Linds tho!
Posted by: beautyelements Master Fan // Fri, 24 June 2011 10:25pm
OMG thats so gross!!
xoxo

hilarious.
Posted by: marisajh Supporter // Sat, 25 June 2011 12:10am
Dear me! Glad I have a beautician that lives next door! Spray tans all the way – all over!!
Posted by: bunnyluxe1 Enthusiast // Sat, 25 June 2011 12:22pm
I can never fathom why she would choose to look the way she does. She has the most beautiful coloured red hair ever. She really has a natural beauty about her but she chooses to bleach her hair, which must take ages and it doesn’t really look that nice of a blonde colour anyway. Then because red heads are pale she has to use fake tan. God she just looks awful. You just want to shake her. She just looks like a crappy version of all the blonde beauties in Hollywood. I wish she would just get it together!

Criiiinge…. This is one of my worst tanning nightmares! Poor Lindsay..
Posted by: ellyloves Devotee // Sat, 25 June 2011 09:54pm
oh yuck! she needs to get a pro to do it.
Posted by: katiekates Devotee // Sun, 26 June 2011 09:01am
and also, if your going to have hair extensions put in your hair, make sure the connection bits aren’t visible.
one word: yuk
Posted by: loopylexy Master Fan // Sun, 26 June 2011 12:19pm
What I don’t understand is, even if you DID make this error, which it is obviously possible, WHY would you not use some sort of bronzer to even out the area??
Posted by: ojae Enthusiast // Sun, 26 June 2011 02:34pm
this girl really doesn’t have much class does she? The tan is bad enough, but those are some seriously awful hair extensions. eeew!
Posted by: DebstarDesigns Master Fan // Mon, 27 June 2011 01:27pm
There’s so much we can all learn from Lindsay. I’m personally glad she’s around to teach us all what not to do!
Posted by: PocketBabe Enthusiast // Mon, 27 June 2011 02:38pm
oh my that is hilarious! The sock tan makes it look like she is wearing orange tights. Surely she would look more pretty if she stopped the horrible tanning and just stuck with her pale skin.
Posted by: katiemoo Enthusiast // Mon, 27 June 2011 03:18pm
Gosshh shes tragic!!!
Posted by: chicklet Devotee // Mon, 27 June 2011 09:37pm
It does look bad, but who hasn’t done a fake tanning mistake before!
Posted by: xKMS Master Fan // Tue, 28 June 2011 08:47pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. omg.. wow… i thought that hand non- tan was bad, but that sock tan is ridiculous!! how did she let that happen? hahaha
Posted by: Bantam Master Fan // Tue, 6 December 2011 02:26am
Lol, to be honest I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for this article! I asked my brother if he saw anything wrong with this photo and he didn’t notice until I pointed it out either.
