When you’re the Kardashian clan’s trusted tanning expert, and the theme for the biggest party of the year is ‘Sleeping Beauties’, there’s only way to go with the glow. “For this year’s Met Gala, I gave Kendall and Kylie what I’m calling a ‘Dream Girls’ glow – because they were simply the most beautiful vision on the night,” says tanning supremo Jimmy Coco, talking exclusively to Good Housekeeping.

As a clever touch, Jimmy’s work captured both the light and dark side of the Met Gala’s enchanted theme. Kylie Jenner’s goddess-like golden glow was pure elegance, pairing perfectly with the ethereal satin shimmer of her statue-inspired Oscar de la Renta gown. Kendall, meanwhile, dipped into the darker side of the fairytale, wearing a deliciously deep tan with her black vintage Givenchy.
The light and dark side of Met Gala glamour
“Kendall usually goes for a more sunkissed look with my tan formulas,” explains Jimmy. “However for her Met Gala look, she asked me to tan her a shade darker than usual. This was exciting for me because I love a deeper glow. Plus, I had a sense her dress would reveal a lot of skin! To get that same shade at home, use my Sunless ID5 Tinted Tan Souffle.”

Kylie’s look was created with two featherlight layers of Jimmy’s signature spray tan in medium, customised with a dab of his darker solution “to make it pop a bit more,” he says. “You’ll get that colour with my ID4 souffle shade. I focused on Kylie’s beautiful décolleté, giving a super soft-focus finish. I also applied a setting powder afterwards - I like Glow by Erin powders, which have a tropical scent.”

He adds: “Both ladies have the most beautifully toned arms so I always focus on emphasising that perfect arm definition as well. You can copy that look at home by flexing your arm and applying a little extra tan in areas where you see that shadow of definition.”

“I also use my signature jawline contour technique, which frames their faces beautifully,” he adds. “Again, you can do this yourself too, once you’ve applied your base tan. Use a makeup contour brush to sweep extra tan along your cheekbones, and around the edges of your face, working down from the ears and under your jawline. Then just blend away any edges, just as you would with a bronzer stick.”
Jimmy’s role in the girls' Met Gala prep began a full 24 hours before the big red carpet reveal. “Kylie and Kendall were both late-night tanning appointments as they had jam-packed schedules with dress fittings and hair and makeup tests ahead of me,” he explains. “I’m always the last treatment for the day and I like that I get to see them after ther long day, and right before bedtime.”

There’s then always a long, anxious pause after packing up his tanning gear and saying goodnight to his red carpet clients. “I always get super nervous waiting to see how a tan has developed,” says Jimmy, who has worked his magic on everyone from Kim Kardashian to Ariana Grande. “The hair and makeup artists are lucky, because they get to see their work hitting the red carpet immediately. I have to wait anxiously, stalking Instagram like a hawk, until the first pictures appear.”
Not that the Met Gala needed to give him any cause for concern. “As soon as I saw them, there was this sigh of relief, as well as a huge sense of gratitude,” says Jimmy “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with these two incredibly sweet, loving ladies. I felt like a rockstar, to be honest.”
