A beauty enthusiast who thought she had found a great hack learned the hard way why you should blend in your fake tan.
Maddie Jensen, from Virginia, used a home self-tanner in order to obtain a natural-looking contouring without using actual makeup.
She explained in a TikTok that she applied the tanning product on her forehead, cheeks and nose to leave overnight, in the hope of achieving a natural-looking glow.
However, Maddie was left in tears after the fake tan worked a little too well, leaving her with harsh brown smudges on her cheeks that wouldn’t budge.
After she shared the mishap online, Maddie quickly saw the funny side of her story, and joke she had learned from her mistake, and would blend in the product next time.

In the funny clip, she could be seen energetically whipping off the product with a wet cotton bud, but her efforts were unfortunately in vain.
