Rep Power: 0 | Methods for Tan Lines Hi guys! I have a client that has tan lines on her chest. The un-tanned skin isn't really super pale, but the lines are noticeable enough when she wear a strapless dress and she has a special even coming up. I'm not able to alter the spray size on my gun, so from doing some research and talking with the people at Sjolie it was suggested to me to apply the solution first with a cotton ball to the tan lines, let dry, then spray everything as normal. I just tried this with my client (this is the 2nd trial tan) and am a little nervous since I've never used this method before. I didn't think the bronzer would blend after I applied the solution , but the areas where the tan lines were covered are a lot darker. I was wondering if anyone else evens out tan lines this way and how it's turned out for them. Or if there are any other techniques out there that you guys are having success with? Thanks! |

Rep Power: 18 | Re: Methods for Tan Lines I have never tried that method of dealing with tan lines. I use professional HVLP that has an adjustable tip and low rates. I dial the pattern to a circle and dial down material and sparingly fill in the lighter areas. Finish with a over coat to entire area surrounding the lines. Good luck. |

Rep Power: 18 | Re: Methods for Tan Lines Its true that you can not adjust the turbine speed, or air flow. But you do have control of the material coming out of the tip that mixes the air and material at the focus point of the nozzel. Just dial the material flow valve down. You should be able to change the spray pattern to vertical, horizontal, or a dot. (size of dot depends on the distance from the nozzle to the target). A combination of these two should get you there. Try it on a piece of white cardboard to see your results before trying an a client. Less is best, as you can always go back over the area to add shade depth. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Methods for Tan Lines I recently had a call about this as well. I have an hplv machine and cannot adjust the spray pattern, only the airflow. I thought about getting a small airbrush to do work on evening out the tan lines and for contour tanning too. Has anyone used an airbrush for this? Going into summer I think I'll be getting many more of these calls/requests. |
