Rising Stars: Meet Taryn Luquin of Los Angeles

Today we’d like to introduce you to Taryn Luquin.

Hi Taryn, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I’ve been a professional spray tan artist & educator since 2005. Back then there were a few sunless solutions to choose from and I then decided to create my own solution, but make it better than what was out on the market, therefore Paradise Sunless & Beauty was born. My clients skin comes first and I want them to have the best of the best, therefore I created my sunless solutions with organic & natural ingredients and infused with anti-aging ingredients that hydrate and nourish the skin and this goes for my retail products as well. I’ve been doing mobile spray tans ever since because I wanted to make it convenient for clients bringing a fully equipped setup right to their door for a seamless, high-end glow on their schedule. When it comes to beauty, spray tanning comes first. It’s the foundation of the entire look. Before the glam, before the wardrobe, the glow is applied and it’s the last thing to come off. Even when clients want a “no makeup” look, a flawless, skin-perfecting tan is always part of the process. It creates the base that enhances everything else which is why clients go out of their way to secure an appointment.

Whether it’s prepping for a major event, photoshoot, or special occasion, timing matters, and so does trust. With mobile services available, I bring a luxury, fully equipped experience directly to my clients when needed. My tans are completely customized, it’s not just an application but it’s a proper technique. I like to sculpt, blend, and enhance my clients, natural features, subtly contouring areas like cheekbones, abs, jawlines, and collarbones to create a polished, flawless glow. For me, attention to detail is everything. My clients step into a professional, judgment-free environment where discretion and ease are part of the experience. From guided positioning to ensure a flawless, even application, every step is handled with care and expertise. That’s what truly sets Paradise Sunless & Beauty apart. It’s not just about delivering a beautiful tan, it’s about creating an experience where clients feel completely comfortable, confident, and taken care of. Because while a technique can be taught, the ability to build trust and put people at ease is what transforms a service into something exceptional.

My sunless solutions and aftercare products are not just used by clients but are also sold to sunless artists throughout the US and have been rated top notch. Sunless artists can trust my solutions to deliver a flawless, hydrating tan without mixing solutions or guessing which one to use. Because of that, my brand Paradise Sunless & Beauty is one of the leading brands in the sunless industry.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it hasn’t, building Paradise Sunless & Beauty has definitely not been a smooth road. Like many in the sunless industry, I started from the ground up, learning not just the artistry of spray tanning, but also the business side, from client acquisition to branding and education.

One of the biggest challenges has been navigating an industry that lacks consistent standards. There’s a lot of misinformation around ingredients, application techniques, and skin health, which pushed me to go deeper, refining my craft, understanding formulations, and creating a more elevated, results-driven experience for my clients and sunless artists.

There were also growing pains, long hours, wearing every hat in the business, and learning how to scale without compromising quality. But those challenges are exactly what shaped Paradise Sunless & Beauty into what it is today: a brand built on trust, consistency, and a higher standard of sunless tanning.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Paradise Sunless & Beauty, I specialize in luxury, custom spray tanning that’s designed to enhance the skin, not mask it. Every tan is tailored to the individual, taking into account skin tone, undertones, event timing, and overall desired look.

What I’m known for is my skin-first approach and natural looking tans. My formulas are made of organic and natural ingredients and infused with high-performance, skincare-driven ingredients, allowing to deliver a flawless, natural-looking glow while supporting skin health. I also focus heavily on proper technique, blending, contouring, and creating dimension so the tan looks seamless in person.

What I’m most proud of is building a brand that clients and sunless artists genuinely trust. In an industry that often lacks consistency, I’ve created a standard where clients know they’re going to get reliable, elevated results every time and for sunless artists to have a sunless solution they can trust for their clients.

What sets me apart is the combination of customization, education, and experience. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all, it’s a refined process that delivers a polished, confidence-boosting result tailored to each client and a luxury sunless solution for sunless artists.

How can people work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
There are several ways to work with Paradise Sunless & Beauty. Clients can book mobile custom spray tanning service appointments, depending on their needs on my website.

I also collaborate with photographers, makeup artists, and beauty professionals for events, photoshoots, red carpets, and special projects where a flawless, skin-perfecting glow is essential.

For those in the sunless industry, I offer education and certification courses, offering opportunities to learn advanced techniques and elevate their own sunless businesses.

The best way to support the brand is by booking, referring others, and sharing your experience. We’ve grown largely through word of mouth, and that trust means everything.
