Most Helpful Positive Review Lives up to the Flawless name I don't usually write reviews, but had to after using Fake Bake Flawless Mousse! It really lives up to its Flawless family name- easy application, develops beautifully & no streaks. I have used the Fake Bake flawless spray for years, and was nervous about trying a mousse after hearing some horror stories. I'm so glad I tried the mousse! Unlike the spray which feels like it absorbs a lot into the mitt as your using it, the mousse just sits on top of the mitt until you smear it in the skin, and only a little gets absorbed in the mitt during application. It makes application sooo easy & the color guide tells you exactly where to go. If you're like me & debating about trying the mousse, go for it, trust me! The only reason for 4 stars and my only complaint is that it feels very sticky on the skin for a long time. It seemed to take forever to 'dry' and never really felt dry until I showered it off. Since I do my tanning at night before bed it's not really a big deal, & the results are worth it! Great color, great smell, no streaks, FLAWLESS! :)
Most Helpful Critical Review Love, but disappointed. Formula application is 10 out of 10. Beautiful, love the color. Application is truly flawless, not one streak or weird orange spot. Even my ankles and feet look natural (which seem to be my trouble spots). BUT, I have to only give it 3 stars. The tan disappears after 24 hours. After first rinse, the color is a wonderful natural tan. But after showering the next day, the color is almost nonexistent. This would be a slam dunk if the color lasted a week, or at least a few more days. Will definitely keep it on the back burner if I need a quick flawless tan for a special event. Hoping they work on the longevity of the formula.

I thought I would try the mousse because it sounds so lovely. It applies well but the feeling it gives me makes me count down the hours to dry it off. It made my skin feel greasy and sticky. Stick the with spray it's just as easy and does not make you feel disgusting after applying.
never dries, sticky and tacky 3

Love the liquid, shouldn't have tried the mousse but I figured it would be easier to apply. I hate how it feels sticky and NEVER dries. Don't buy this - buy the original liquid.
Works great on fair skin 4
Lanie from Virginia
I have tried a few tanning creams and/or mousses. Fake Bake seems to work better on me than the rest. The color is very even and quite pretty for an older, fair skinned woman. If used correctly it doesn't make your ankles, knees, and elbows look bad. Other than the price, I am more satisfied with this than any I have bought so far.
love color, never dries though 2
rlswar from maryland
never dries. stays sticky the entire time. not as good as the liquid. same color as the liquid and looks natural. little streaking.
New favorite 5
Bex from VA
Amazing flawless application. I've used two other Fake Bake products and this is by far the best. If you follow the directions and allow the product to stay on your EXFOLIATED skin for a few hours before showering it's still flawless. I'm a fairly pale person so I only do one application every 2-3 days.
Will buy again!! 4
Vee from Colorado
This is the first self-tanner I've ever used normally I spray tan. It was super easy to use. I left it on for 6 hours and it developed really dark but once I washed it of it was a really nice color and looked nice. For me it lasted a week before I didn't see the color as strong but its still there just lighter. Also when I would shower I didn't use a strong or stripping body wash and when I washed it off I didn't use any soap at all.
Beautiful color but doesn't last 3
Hannah from Chattanooga, TN
I am an avid self tanner so I've tried lots of fake bake products. The first time I put this tan on I loved it. It goes on easy, doesn't smell, and leaves beautiful color. My only issue is that the tan fades completely within 2-3 days.
Didn't work 2
Donna from Philadelphia Pa
I used this fake bake mouse did everything you are told to do. And It's looks good when you apply it. Goes on pretty good even. But didn't say on washers off!!
not good 2
Mandy from Massachusetts
I've tried most of the self Tanner's and always loved fake bake but wished they had mouse so I grabbed it tried it and woke up and thought not bad I'll shower and put on another coat except when I showered my tan went down the drain. Don't waste your time

Love! 5
Clarissa from Minneapolis
This is better than the original fake bake. Looks very natural, dries quickly, and no icky scent.
Doesn't stay on very long 3
Kay from Wv
I have to apply this every 3 days.
My new go to 5
Dee Dee from Detroit
I've only used this a couple of times but I'm already loving it. I prefer self tanners with a color guide so you know exactly where you're applying it. There is absolutely no smell and the glove that comes with it is superior to all others I tred. It dries super fast so you dont have to wait around very long before getting dressed. As for the color, for me its perfect. Im a redhead but not super fair skinned like most redheads.
One application gave me enough color to feel confident enough to wear shorts or skirts without pantyhose (ugh I hate wearing pantyhose). I used fake bake many years ago and always had good results but still tried other brands. Strange that after all that I would come back around to Fake Bake but I'm so glad I did!
Love love love this 5
Emily from Las Vegas
Had to self tan since tanning beds are closed because of Covid, I wish I could post a picture because your jaws will drop . I almost returned this because I wanted the " dark" color of this brand , so glad I tried this first , I think if I got the other one it would of been to dark . This is my first self tanner , it smells great and I don't think I'll ever go to a tanning bed again
Pleasantly surprised! 5
Mrs. Watkins from Jackson, MS
I'm technically a first timer with this.. I am naturally very fair so tanning is very difficult. This product is great for beginners like myself. I've been using it about a week now and my tan is looking great. I will say it takes a couple of applications to build the tan with my complexion but I love how natural it looks! I put it on at night and shower in the morning... Don't panic if you see some darker areas!... it will wash off and you can buff over it in the shower with your washcloth. I've noticed that applying the product around my feet works better with gloves because I feel the mitt can be a little clumsy with those little details... but it works great everywhere else. Overall very satisfied!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 5
Zoe from Jacksonville
I love this tanner. this is the fourth self tanner I've tried since quarantine started, and it is by far the best. no orange tint, no tanner smell, goes on really easy, and gives great color. there is a technique when applying self tanner that I havent really mastered yet, but it still looks great. the only thing I'm not crazy about is it has a sticky feel until you shower after, so I thought it was still wet, or would rub off/become uneven, but it didn't. I don't think I'm gonna try any other self tanners, this is the one for me!!
Pretty much flawless 5
annemal from reading, pa
I bought this because my daughter and I needed a little mood boost during quarantine. And we figured if we turned orange or streaky or all of the other fears that come with a self tanner - nobody would see us anyway. My daughter used it first - at 15 she is a little more adventurous and she put it on thick, went to bed and woke up much much darker. But in a good way - after her shower some did rinse off and it looked more natural. She was not orange, no streaks. The hands and feet were a little weird but I feel like there is a learning curve with these things. She has since used it three more times with great results. I used it a little more sparingly and had great results too. I'm fair to begin with so I was happy that I had some control. I put a good amount of lotion on before I applied it, I think this helped. Overall it is easy to use. I will continue to use this over the summer months since I don't get out in the sun often. I think it looks very natural. I bought another can and I also want to try the tanning serum. Oh and the smell is not bad - I have always hated that about self tanners. It fades nicely too, very natural.

Awesome !! 4
Jules from Alabama
I am used to using loving tan 2 hour express dark but wanted to try something different. The mitt that it comes with is awesome and leaves no streaks. It doesn't smell like a self tanner at all but has a slight smell of coconut. I would've rated it 5 stars but my tan is not as dark as I thought It would be. Next time I will just add on another layer. Besides that it is perfect!
