The Art Of Body Makeup
It is a real fact that the styles in today's society is the more skin the better. Therefore, because more skin is now revealed with the clothes we wear, our bodies are now more exposed, which means so are our "defects". Body makeup has become one of the most popular ways of covering up those defects where are skin is exposed.
Body makeup is used much like concealer or foundation is used on the face, which we use to cover up flaws on the face such as pimples or age spots. However, body makeup is used everywhere else, but has the same job, covering up what we don't want others to see.
If you want to cover bruises, where you've ran into the coffee table while running around the house with 10 minutes to get to work or other unsightly defects such as nicks, freckles, or the ever feared spider veins, body makeup is the cosmetic for you.
Of course, that is not the only reason body makeup is used. Some people use it to create an even skin tone throughout the body. For example, if you got more sun on your arms than your legs, but you want to match it up, you might use body makeup to do the job.
Here are some ...
... tips to help you get the right, real effect with your body makeup.
When using body makeup to match up the tone of your skin, you want to be sure that you get the right tone. To use on legs, make sure your arms are always darker, so use your arm as an example and get a lighter tone.
