Got legs like Lisa? Well, it’s time to bronze them up! With summer quickly approaching, it’s just a matter of time before those mini skirts and shorts will be on the way out of your bottom drawer. If you’ve ever noticed supermodels and celebrities always have a luminous glow on their entire body. Sure, diet and exercise play a huge role in making the skin on your face and body glow. But for times you need a little extra pick me up, we’ve found you the perfect way to bronze up your body (just in time for bikini season!)
Lisa Haydon has naturally long legs and sun-kissed skin, but she’s always glistening under the sunlight. Didn’t think that was all natural, did you? There’s always bronzer, leg makeup or a quick DIY to get you on your way to glowing skin!
1. Exfoliate + Oil
The first, hassle-free way to get your entire body to have that ethereal glow under the sunlight is e-x-f-o-l-i-a-t-i-o-n! Take a warm shower to soften up your skin and then use a body scrub to exfoliate. You can even use an exfoliating glove! Once you’re done showering, use baby oil and massage it onto your damp skin. Let your body air dry naturally and slip into your hottest shorts!
2. Bronzer
Just the way you highlight your face, use a highlighter and bronzer on the high points of your body. The Makeup Revolution London Duo Face Sculpt (Rs 421) is a steal! It’s a highlighter and a bronzer in one huge pan. Use a large fluffy brush (Rs 203) to apply the bronzer to your body. You want to target areas like your collar bone, your shoulder blades, your knees and the bridge of your legs. Any areas that light will naturally hit your skin are the areas you need to highlight.
3. Liquid Highlighter
The easiest way to have the *glowiest* legs in town is to mix a liquid bronzer with your body moisturiser. Depending on your skin tone, pick a shade of bronzer that’s one or two shades darker so it looks like you’re tanned and glowing. Try mixing the Miss Claire Illuminator Makeup Base – 04 Bronze (Rs 375) with a little moisturiser or baby oil!
4. Leg Makeup
If you’ve got some nicks and cuts to cover up on your legs and you’re trying to make them look absolutely irresistible, a leg makeup spray could help you. The Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Water-Resistant – Medium Glow (Rs 1,310) is your perfect companion to take with you to the beach. It will cover up scars, uneven skin. It’s what most celebrities and Victoria’s Secret angels use on their bodies during runway shows and beach vacays! If you’re not interested in investing in a separate makeup product for your legs, mix a little foundation and liquid highlighter with your body moisturiser and slather it on!
