Formal season is around the corner and you’ve probably got the group chat buzzing, Pinterest boards overflowing, and dresses on your wishlist. But here’s one major glow-up step you don’t want to forget: the spray tan.

At Bronzed, we’ve tanned heaps of formal-goers across Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Lake Cathie, and beyond — and trust us, it’s a game-changer.

Why Get a Spray Tan for Formal?

Here’s the thing - a spray tan isn’t just about looking bronzed. It’s about confidence.

It evens out skin tone (bye-bye, blotchiness and tan lines)
Makes you look healthier and radiant under those bright event lights
Helps makeup and outfits pop
Smooths the look of skin — no body shimmer needed

And best of all? No sun damage, no orange tones, no drama.

When to Book

The golden rule: 2 days before your formal. This gives your tan time to fully develop and settle into its most natural, glowy state with time for a rinse and moisturising.

Got a group of friends going? Ask us about group bookings, we can come to you, set up, and tan the whole squad at once.

Tan + Dress Colour Tips

Wearing white, champagne or blush? A light to medium glow will give you contrast and a soft radiance.
Going bold with red, navy or emerald? A deeper bronze will turn heads.
Rocking black or metallics? Literally any tan shade looks amazing — it’s all about your vibe.

We customise your tan to suit your skin tone and dress colour, so you’ll feel 100% YOU.

In saying that, we will always spray to your requested result!
