Most women are well aware of their options for face makeup, but they may never have considered applying makeup to their body. However, body makeup is gaining popularity as all of us seek new ways to look our best. Let’s look a little closer and how to use body makeup and why you might want to try it.
Some Reasons to Use Body Makeup
Let’s say you have a big event coming up, like a wedding or class reunion and you will be outdoors, wearing strappy sandals and a dress that exposes your legs. If you have spider veins, tattoos, stretch marks, moles or discolorations that you’d prefer to conceal, body makeup will allow you to do that, plus give you sun protection. Body and leg makeup can be a great alternative to pantyhose, which can be constricting and uncomfortable.
Applying Body Makeup
The key to using body makeup and looking natural is to start by applying a light coverage and then building layers as needed until you achieve the coverage you are looking for.
Step 1: Before you begin, make sure that skin is clean and dry. Don’t apply moisturizer, sunscreen or any other products prior to applying body makeup.
Step 2: Grab some Dermablend Leg & Body Makeup in a shade that is closest to your natural skin tone. Apply a thin layer evenly with long strokes. You can simply apply with fingers, or use a foundation brush for easy and even application.
Step 3: Allow makeup to dry. If more coverage is needed, build additional layers, letting each layer dry before adding the next.
Step 4: To ensure that your coverage remains smudge and transfer-resistant for up to 16 hours, apply a generous amount of setting powder and leave on for 5-10 minutes, then buff off.
If you only have a few small spots to conceal or for a quick touch-up when you’re on the go, you can use a product like Dermablend Quick-Fix Body. Similar to a concealer for the face, you will use this to touch up the spots needed without having to apply full coverage to large areas.
