NYC Beauty Destination - Sundara Airbrush Tanning Salon

Santiago, the owner of Sundara Airbrush Tanning Salon, is a former sun-worshiper who became fascinated by the technology of sunless tanning in 2002.

After several years of researching the technique and developing his own proprietary solutions, Santiago opened the first Sundara salon in early 2005. Sundara means "Beautiful" in the Sanskrit language.

Two years later, the salon expanded to its own state-of- the-art storefront in midtown Manhattan that is the first of its kind engineered from the ground up to maximize the airbrush tanning experience.

Sunless tanning is Sundara’s only service. Sundara has spent years developing its anti-aging, custom color, natural fade and natural based tan formulas.* Even more amazing, they have also spent years researching and developing its custom color matching system so that a person of ANY ethnic background can get a custom tailored tan which will enhance their skin tone. Sundara also has highly trained technician(s), like senior technician Natalie Cupid and the spa is housed in a state-of the art facility.

The process begins with undressing to expose the areas that you desire to have tanned. Then the technician spays in a vertical motion one stripe at a time until the desired color is achieved. Next, you are brought to an area with a wall of electric fans to dry you to a streak-less finish. The tan lasts several weeks and fades naturally and gradually. And best of all, the whole experience takes under 30 minutes!

Many price-friendly options are available! Full body $78, Half body $52 or Face $30














Location: 425 W. 46th St., New York, NY 10036 Near. Ninth Ave. Tel: 212-977-9575

*Sundara’s formulations are 99% natural-based solutions that do not contain alcohol or artificial fragrances. The active tanning ingredient, DHA, is an FDA-approved sugar cane derivative that provides a safe alternative to UV tanning

Impulse Buy of the Week - Sue Devitt Microquatic Luminous Finishing Mist

I have always been big fan of Sue Devitt's products because they are innovative, luxurious, effective and provide real benefits for the skin.

I used this finishing mist as the final step in my makeup application each day. I loved how it gave my skin a true, luminous glow without shimmer or particles and really hydrated my skin.

This is perfect for those of you with dry skin and/or fine lines. I loved using this in the morning and I could really see the difference in how fresh my makeup looked by the end of the day (even in very high temps!).

I also loved using this in the late evening (sometimes just out of the fridge so it nice and cold) just to perk up my skin a little more before going out. It evaporated instantly and felt weightless on my skin. I found that no more than 4-5 sprays is all that was needed for the finishing effect.(More than that and I did get a slightly sticky feeling --however, even that went away after a few minutes).

It did not irritate my skin and the effect always looked so natural and healthy. This can also be used to moisten your powder/foundation if it looks to dry/cakey as well.

This is a luxury that any true makeup fan will realize is absolutely worth the price to make your makeup look it's best and get the most mileage out of it! - RLB
