The BAFTAS goes (subtly) tantastic

Kate Winslet, Jamie Winstone, Audrey Tautou, Claire Danes and Carey Mulligan (so, practically everyone of note) were, despite the winter weather, all sporting barely there tans.

This trend for the no tan tan, which is a shade you would go after a weekend away, rather than two weeks in the Caribbean (popular with the WAG culture) is now the colour to flaunt. Kate and Jaime’s tan is so natural looking because the colour has been concentrated on the areas that would naturally catch the sunlight – outer arms, shoulders and high areas of the face (forehead, bridge of the nose and cheekbones). All perfectly blended of course.

Most spray tanners offer a choice of lighter or darker shades, but the best person to head to for a couture tan is the A-list’s tanner of choice James Read at Agua Spa, London. He offers a Weekend Away tan, £50, super subtle, and a Hollywood Finish, £30, which imparts a soft sheen onto tanned skin.
