When done right, a spray tan can give a subtle sun-kissed glow minus the risk of sun damage. But when you're looking like a roasted duck, it's definitely time to lay off the bronzer.
From Jennifer Lawrence to Kim Kardashian, RadarOnline.com has the best of the worst celebrity fake tans of all time.
1. Farrah Abraham
Farrah Abraham is no stranger to changing her look. However the spray tan she rocked at a Crazy Horse III event was a few shades too dark; a detail that was emphasized by her platinum blonde hair.
2. Chrissy Teigen
Even Chrissy Teigen had herself a spray tan malfunction. Before she married John Legend, she accompanied him to the 2008 Grammy Awards where she sported a fake tan much too dark for her skin. It wasn't her best red carpet moment and even she was able to poke fun at it.
3. Christina Aguilera
If there were a bad tan hall of fame, Christina Aguilera would be the first to enter. Her tan at an EIF Cancer Research Fund event was so unbelievably dark it was borderline offensive. Kudos to Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson for keeping a straight face while posing next to the singer.
4. Bradley Cooper
Bradley Cooper usually looks his best but his fake tan was a bit too noticable when he stood next to his Silver Linings Playbook costar, Jennifer Lawrence.
5. Claire Danes
Sometimes a bad tan can age a person by a few years. Such was the case with Claire Danes at the 2016 Emmy Awards.
6. Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid has come under fire for a bad spray tan before. The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards were no exception. The supermodel's bright yellow plunge dress only made her unusual tan more noticeable.
7. Kim Kardashian
As hard as it may be to believe, even Kim Kardashian is capable of having a bad spray tan. While she stunned in her neon ensemble, her skirt's thigh slit revealed her blotchy bronzed skin.
8. Ryan Reynolds
Ryan Reynolds may have gotten away with his unfortunate spray tan while presenting at the 2017 Golden Globes. However, Emma Stone's pale complexion only accentuated Reynolds' unnaturally orange hue.
9. Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell has made a career out of roasting people onstage. Here, he looks a little bit roasted himself while at the premier of America's Got Talent.
10. Snooki
The Jersey Shore is synonymous with bad spray tans. Of all its cast members, Nicole "Snooki"Polizzi. was the best example of this. The Jersey Shore bad girl has gone deep with the spray tan and the trend continued during the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.
11. JWoww
Snooki's costar, Jenni "JWoww" Farley hasn't fared any better with her fake tanning. While she may have turned heads with her revealing top, her cleavage revealed just how uneven her fake tan was during the 2017 MTV VMAs.

Not to be outdone by his costars, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has also been victim of a strong fake tan. Here he flaunted his orange tinted skin at the 2018 MTV Movie Awards.
13. Tara Reid
Tara Reid's platinum blonde look only revealed how devastatingly bad her fake tan looked.
