5 USES FOR BODY MAKEUP

Body makeup can be used quite a few ways for many different reasons. Here are five common uses for body makeup you may not have considered.

1. ACNE SCARS

If you’ve ever fallen victim to bacne and neglected to properly take care of it, you may now be dealing with the repercussions. Acne scars can take a toll on your confidence, which is why you may want to turn to body makeup to temporarily cover them up. With the right makeup application no one will be able to guess you’re hiding the remains of blemishes! Head over to our article, How to Hide Acne Scars with Makeup, for everything you need to know.

2. TATTOOS

While you surely love your tattoos, there are times you may not want them on display. Whether for an interview or a formal photoshoot, whatever your reasoning, body makeup is the solution! The most important product when covering tattoos? Body foundation with a full coverage formula. Here’s How to Temporarily Cover Up Tattoos With Makeup: The Complete Tutorial.

3. CONTOURING

You may be familiar with contouring your face, but do you know how to contour your body? Using bronzer and highlighter to create shadows on your body can make all the difference in how sculpted you look. Think: a contoured collarbone when you’re wearing a scoop-neck blouse or defined abs when sporting a crop top.

4. VEINS

With the right makeup techniques, you can use body makeup to cover up veins—even varicose veins. If veins on your legs make you feel less confident in some of your favorite outfits, the next time you want to show off your gams, try disguising the veins with body makeup.

5. PSORIASIS

Another skin condition you can cover with body makeup is psoriasis, which is a common skin disease that can result in red, white, or silvery flakey patches of skin.
