If you are looking to transform your legs from pale to bronzed, we have got you covered.
Applying makeup to your legs is all the rage now. The trend most famously noted on runways is making its presence felt on social media. Many beauty enthusiasts are applying self-tanners and bronzing products onto their legs to mimic the appearance of toned and sun-kissed legs. If you are looking for ways to create flawless-looking summer legs, we have discovered that all it takes is perfecting your techniques and using the right products.
If you are not comfortable with undergoing the full process of spray tanning, try using a lightweight foundation or even spray to even out your skin tone. When it comes to applying leg makeup, less is more. The ultimate goal is to provide a hint of colour without it looking obvious. You will want to choose a waterproof formula which will not rub off on clothes or furniture. When applying, make use of gloves to distribute the product. Makeup sponges are great for blending different shades and creating contours. The use of darker shades around the calves helps to create the illusion of toned muscles. Practice makes perfect and it will take time to figure out which routine works best for you.
When it comes to choosing a shade, go two shades darker to match the rest of your body as your legs tend to be paler in comparison to the rest of your body. Ensure that you are blending all the way around and right down to your feet.
Head up to the gallery above for a round-up of essentials you’ll need to jump on the leg makeup bandwagon.
