The Best Blurring, Bronzing, and Highlighting Makeup Products For Your Body
Body makeup has been recently thrust into the spotlight thanks to Chrissy's Teigen's relatable Instagram post involving her having the stuff applied to her legs, as well as Kim Kardashian's launch of KKW Beauty Skin Perfecting Body Lotion (which, as you might have heard, actress Jameela Jamil had strong opinions about). It isn't a new concept. Celebrities have been using cream and gel makeup prior to appearances, red-carpet events, and performances. (Who could forget Beyoncé's flawless skin when she headlined Coachella in 2018? That was thanks to her long-time makeup artist Sir John's application of the AllEven body foundation.)
It's important to note that choosing to use body makeup to cover up or highlight your skin is a choice all your own. If that's the look you're looking for, there are numerous options to choose from. Check out our picks for the best body makeup products, ahead.
