When watching Baywatch, the first thing you notice is those red swimsuits. The second: the perfectly sun-kissed tans. Did you know, though, that in the 2017 movie remake of that iconic television series, the glow of many of the actors comes out of a bottle? That’s right, although some bathing suit beach runners tanned the natural way, others were given a heavy dose of spray tan, according to Refinery29. It is a statement that is worth rejoicing over, especially as the push for sun and skin care grows.
[post_ads]Kim Greene was the head makeup artist on the film, and sheRefinery29 that for those actors who owe their bronzed tone to the good old-fashioned spray tan, they were scheduled for touchups at least once a week. Even though the tans might have looked nearly flawless when the stars emerged from their trailers to start shooting, Greene says it wasn't always easy. “The cast was being sprayed with water or soaking in the ocean for 12 to 14 hours at a time," she explains.
