What about Clarins Salon tan?
I tried multitudes of different fake tans before I got married and the Clarins one was definitely the best one. It took a little longer to apply as it's creams but the result was fantastic.
I daren't have done my own fake tan. 70% of the time I get it right but the other 30% always ends up with a nice big streak up the inside of one arm or one leg going a different colour to the other one!
