With summertime comes revealing summer dresses and tank tops. If you worry about liver spots, spider veins, stretchmarks and freckles, body makeup may help you feel more comfortable in showing off your legs and arms this summer.
Why Body Makeup
Many people may be wondering why body makeup is even necessary with all of the different foundations and concealers that are available. Foundation makeup is generally formulated to be light and sheer for our faces and doesn’t contain enough pigment to actually cover imperfections like stretchmarks or spider veins. In addition, body makeup is waterproof and nontransferable so it won’t sweat off or rub off and is longer lasting than foundation. Ultimately making body makeup convenient to use anytime, whether taking a trip to the beach or shopping at the mall.
How to Apply Body Makeup
Make sure that the body makeup looks real by picking the shade that matches your skin the closest. Dab or pat a small amount of the body makeup on the area you want to conceal blending it in well and then set it with a powder. Use a big makeup brush to brush off excess. An oil based makeup remover is needed to remove the body makeup and most cosmetic lines carry their own.
