Pantan: The Pantone Colour Matcher For Your Summer Tan

Hot off the news that there is early drug trials for a lotion that increases the amount of melanin in your skin, thus your ability to tan, coupled with summer’s now-beaming rays, we thought it prudent to do some of our own tan research. Specifically, the colour spectrum of celebrities’ Vitamin D-soaked complexions. After all, for some of these iconic people, their tans are their most recognisable features.

Fashion’s glitterati are the prime suspects when it comes to a rather significant bronze. Be it faked or earned from summers spent on the Amalfi Coast, designers including Donatella Versace, Valentino Garavani and Giorgio Armani are renowned for their considerably sun-kissed skin. Meanwhile Kim Kardashian’s golden-brown perma-fake tan is as famous as her oft discussed derriere.
