I may be talking too soon i only put it on a few hours ago, but its very evan and not streaking at all, the colour isn't too overwelming looks like a light glow rather than a deep bronze tan, but this is what i'm after so it's pretty ideal. Like all fake tans the smell isn't that pleasant but it's not that overwelming either. Took quite a while to dry so I wouldn't recommend putting clothes on for ages after applying it. I exfoliated well first and applied a thin layer of body lotion to parts i wanted less dark (knees, elbows, etc.) and the fake tan worked well with this by not being too strong in those areas, also washing my hands straight after, the fake tan didn't dye my hands.
