Legs Legs Legs! Tricks to Flawless Looking Legs

We all have bad hair days, and I've found there are bad leg days too. Spring is here and summer is around the corner so you will most likely be wearing shorts, skirts, and not just Maxi dresses in the next few months. Ever had those days where your legs are more pale than you'd like, not as toned as you want, or maybe you have a scar, a bruise or anything you want to try and cover?

Celebs face the same leg issues, but they have secrets to mask them and appear at events looking flawless. CELEBRITIES get custom airbrush spray tans and use all types of body makeup and shimmer lotions on their legs.

Jennifer Lopez has great legs and she's the new face of Venus.
TRUST me, she doesn't wake up with her legs looking this perfect and shimmery.

Blake Lively has great legs.

With a spray tan & leg makeup, Blake's legs look flawless and defined.

Celebrities and supermodels have been caught in bad lighting and had the images unfairly plastered all over the internet. For example, most recently JLO and Kate Moss in the photos below:

Even celebs can have a bad leg day

SO, here is what you will need to get the "flawless leg" look:

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs online here or at Walgreens

AND A SHIMMER LOTION

Loreal Sublime Bronze-$10.79 at Walgreens

OR MY NEW FAVE

Victoria's Secret Sunkissed Bronze with Tint-$12

HOW IT WORKS:
*To Prepare your legs, shower and shave. Then moisturize with a light lotion (no body butters)

1. Spray the Sally Hansen Airbrush (choose a color closest to your skin tone) on your legs and start from
    your feet moving up
2. Squeeze a quarter size amount (per leg) of your shimmer lotion in your hand and start rubbing into your
    legs mixing it with the Sally Hansen applying evenly
3. Wait 15 minutes before you put on your clothes

NOTE -The reason I add a shimmer lotion is because Sally Hansen Airbrush alone tends to make legs look chalky or fake looking by the end of the night. Adding the bronzer is not enough to make a significant tan so you don't need to worry if you hate self-tanner.

SOOO, here's real results of how it looks on my sister, my friend and me.

BEFORE AND AFTER PICS

(Showing you examples of all 3 products)

1. BEFORE

AFTER a custom spray tan and with a light coat of the Loreal/Sally Hansen concoction

HINT-Airbrush tans where someone sprays you generally looks much better than a spray tan booth. They can contour your body, for example making calves look more defined.   

2. My friend Jaclyn -This was her first time trying Sally Hansen

As you can see, her right leg has the Sally Hansen Medium Spray and her left doesn't

3. Me BEFORE in my nude Steve Madden heels

AFTER- 30 minutes after applying Sally Hansen mixed with the Victoria's Secret lotion. It was darker so I needed to switch to my darker nude heels hehe

WARNINGS & TIPS:

1. If you've never used this, be sure to rub it into your skin evenly and add more if you want extra coverage

2. Be careful if you're wearing white although it's water resistant and doesn't come off easily

3. Don't go too dark if you're not tan, make sure it matches your body and face

4. Sally Hansen is not fake tanner and washes right off in the shower. Tanner will leave you slightly bronzed

5. DO you hate self-tanner? Use the Sally Hansen alone or add shimmer lotion without tanner for extra glow

Finally, you may be wondering if this is a BIG hassle?

Answer-It only takes about 5 minutes and looks great for an event

But wouldn't it be nice to have assistants to do it for us ;)
