We might actually be the same color, I'm caramel-toned and there really is no dermablend shade that suits me properly. I've purchased atleast 3 different shades/products. Save your money.
I worked at a planet beach and tried the spray tanning (Mystic Tan) at level 3 to even tone/cover stretch marks - turned orange.
For camming/dancing/or photography I'd recommend the Sally Hansen. It is a bit glittery though. I find that they're shades run a bit light so go slightly darker than you think you need.
Tips:
- Exfoliate and moisturise your skin before spraying. This makes the application much more even. Also - it WILL dry your skin out, esp if you top off with hairspray
- If you can, apply it outside, in your shower, or with sheets
- Make sure to get under the boobies and bend over to get it under the booty!
- After it dries, top off with a bronzing lotion to add a "dewy glow" (I think this makes it look more natural)
- Apply the lotion with the palms and backs of your hands, not your fingertips
- You can always use a hairdryer to speed up the setting process
- Don't wear anything white, darker colors are best
This stuff however, will still rub off. You can put all you want on top the spray to prevent that but nothing can stop the sweat that comes out of your skin (underneath the spray)
This thread mentions some more "heavy duty" cover-up methods:

Hope you find a solution that works for you and your skin
