THE MAKAI DIFFERENCE

Natural DHA

Our formulas use naturally-derived DHA for a streak-free, natural-looking glow, no harsh chemicals.

Vegan & Cruelty-Free

Every MAKAI formula is vegan and never tested on animals — good for your skin, kind to the planet.

Paraben & Sulfate-Free

Clean, gentle formulas free from parabens and sulfates — nothing that irritates your skin or your glow.

Fast-Drying, Low Odor

Dries fast and skips the strong tanning smell, so you can get glowing and go.

MAKAI tanning mist is your fastest route to a natural glow. It applies as a fine, light mist rather than a heavy layer, so it dries quickly, blends easily, and never feels like you are wearing a product. It is the go-to pick when you want color fast, need to reach a tricky spot, or want a light shimmer finish right after applying.

Which Mist Do You Need?

Our Face Mist is built to replace foundation on your glow days. It is ultra fine, instant, and never heavy, with jojoba oil to hydrate and keep it non comedogenic, so it will not clog pores or cause breakouts. Most customers say their significant other cannot tell they are wearing anything at all, just a natural, lit-from-within look. Our Body Mist is your fast top-up and hard-to-reach solution, with a light shimmer effect and a coconut scent, and a balanced DHA formula that dries quickly whether you already have your mousse on or you are applying mist alone.

How to Apply Face Mist

  1. Cleanse and exfoliate lightly, then pat skin dry.
  2. Apply a thin barrier to your brows and hairline to avoid buildup.
  3. Hold the mist 6 inches away and spritz evenly across your forehead, cheeks, and chin.
  4. Blend with a sponge or mini mitt, especially along the jaw and hairline.
  5. Let it develop before applying makeup.

Technique tip: use a clean mini mitt, dab in tiny amounts, and buff outward with light pressure for a seamless finish.

How to Apply Body Mist

  1. Hold the mist 6 inches from your skin and apply in light passes.
  2. Blend with a mitt to smooth any edges.
  3. Use it on hands and feet for quick color correction, or on shoulders and back for fast top-ups in hard-to-reach spots.

What's the difference between the Face Mist and Body Mist?

The Face Mist is a light, non comedogenic formula with jojoba oil, built to sit under or instead of makeup. The Body Mist has a light shimmer effect and a coconut scent, made for fast top-ups and hard-to-reach areas like your back and shoulders.

Why choose mist instead of mousse or lotion?

Mist is your fastest option. It applies fine and light, dries quickly, and works well as a quick top-up, a touch-up over an existing tan, or an everyday glow you can put on in seconds.

Will the face mist clog my pores or cause breakouts?

No. Our Face Mist is formulated with jojoba oil and is non comedogenic, so it hydrates your skin without clogging pores.

Can I use the body mist over my existing mousse tan?

Yes. The Body Mist is a great way to top up color between mousse applications or extend your glow without starting over.

How far away should I hold the mist when applying?

Hold the mist about 6 inches from your skin and apply in light, even passes for the best coverage.

Do I need a mitt to apply mist?

A mitt or mini mitt helps blend any edges for a seamless finish, especially along the hairline, jaw, hands, and feet, but the fine mist means you need much less blending than a mousse or lotion.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Our balanced DHA formula is designed to develop into a natural, bronze tone rather than the orange or muddy tint common with high-DHA formulas. Because the color builds gradually, you stay in control of how deep your tan goes.

With proper prep and aftercare, your MAKAI self tan typically lasts seven to ten days. Avoid hot tubs, heavy exfoliation, and excessive sweating early on to get the most out of your glow.

Your tan will continue developing for six to eight hours after application. Avoid water, sweat, and tight clothing during that window. Once you shower off the excess product, your full color will be visible and will continue to settle over the following day.

Easy Step-by-Step Application Guide:
