Woman looks like Fiona from Shrek after fake tan goes horribly wrong
- 3 years ago
A bottle-tan mishap has left one woman from the UK looking like the ogre princess Fiona from blockbuster animated film “Shrek.”
Lilly Vigus, an equine management student from Rochester, Kent, claims that she and her roommates were feeling restless during lockdown when they decided to experiment with self-tanning lotion.
In spite of her naturally fair skin, Vigus picked up the only tanner available at the shop, a bottle of St. Moriz 1 Hour Fast Tan in shade “Darker Than Dark.”
This isn’t her first time using self-tanner as Vigus, 18, is known to “burn instantly” in the sun and thus avoids exposure.
However, this time the fake tan fan went a step — or “shade,” rather — too far.
Vigus found herself unable to resist finishing off the bottle.
The green water in her shower the next morning was the first sign her tanning scheme had gone awry.
For days, her skin’s muddy shade of green made a mockery of her bronze ambition. So, she owned it — by dying her hair red à la Fiona.
The self-tanner brand responsible for the Shrek-like transformation delivered a tongue-in-cheek statement, saying the Princess Fiona dupe “looks great.”
