How is it that pale celebrities are able to all of a sudden get natural looking tans while other people can't?

Question

I am 16 and I have had to live with being one of the palest people I know. People always ask "why don't you just go out in the sun?" Obviously being from Texas I was in the sun, a lot. Of course I would get burned then get white all over again. Although I know I'm still attractive with fair skin I always wonder how great I would look with tan skin. I've tried basically every lotion, spray, and wipe out there but nothing looks natural. Then I look at people like Miley Cyrus and I've seen pictures from before she was "famous" and she was quite pale. All of a sudden she has a deep natural looking tan. I can't help but to think that there is something out there that all of these celebrities are using that isn't known to average people. If anyone has any ideas of how to get a natural looking tan (and I'm not talking about the real dark Cambodian tans) please let me know. Thanks.

I'm sort of olive skinned, like Miley but darker.
my face is sort of fair, but my arms are darker than the rest of my body.
