Tinted moisturizer is GREAT for taking the red out. Just get a yellow/golden shade to even out the red. If you are very very fair maybe self tanner isn't for you but I'm pretty sure Neutragena makes a pretty good one for light skin. also, there are great mineral powder bronzers as well but your skin has to be dry and clean!
It doesn't turn orange anymore~ it's 2008! They know stuff now!

Just take a clean face, pull back your hair and put about a dime sized amount on your hand. Rub hands together and swipe up and around your face a few times. cover everything, wipe eyebrows, hairline and near ears with a tissue and wash your hands well. It will dry in a minute or two and then just some lip gloss and eye makeup....for me that is the best look for the day.
And I think pony tails are sexy if everything else is put together.
Butt hat's just me and btw I got the mani pedi ....very pale pink kind of sheer. MUCh better.
