It’s a classic pale-girl scenario: you get invited to the races last-minute and realise you haven’t tanned. To all you naturally-tanned ladies out there, I’m not referring to a quick lie-out in the sun – I’m talking about a solid hour of shaving, exfoliating and fake-tan application followed by several awkward hours attempting to dry off. For those that haven’t been there, just imagine how you feel after painting your nails, then times that by your whole body.
Now you have two options: wear pants to the races or blind the public with your moonshine silver limbs. To save your dignity (and a few burnt-out retinas), get your hands on some leg makeup. Yes, it exists. And it’s just as good as your favourite foundation.
“I got a spray tan and suddenly became about 10 times hotter.”
I like to describe leg makeup as Photoshop in an aerosol can – in seconds you can give yourself a summer glow, while at the same time hiding bruises, freckles and other imperfections. It’ll be like your UDI (unidentified drunken injury) never happened.
Even Kim K has admitted to using the spray to cover psoriasis on her legs.
They say if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, which can be the case for leg makeup if you don’t use it properly. Just like any fake tanning product, it can all end in tragedy without the right preparation and maintenance.
