As I’ve been busy working on weekends, I haven’t had the opportunity to get to a beach and am sporting white legs; therefore, have turned to tanning spray when wearing a shorter dress. Unfortunately, the three I’ve tried have been far too yellow to match my skin tone. I’ve also found them to be a bit flat and missing a glow. Perhaps I am missing out on the right product; however, I found a solution to make the ones I purchased work for me. By taking a large brush and and a “shimmery” powder from my pink or peach pallet, I found a way to make it work. Just a dust of powder over my legs provided the color I hoped to find when I made my purchase.  

For those of you who may be self conscious of “spider veins” on your legs and feel uncomfortable wearing shorter dresses or shorts, there is a way to help conceal them with makeup. Apply concealer with a brush or a concealer pencil directly over the veins. As they are blue, use a slightly lighter color with a pinker tone to counteract the blue. If you have a tan or the area you’ve worked on appears lighter, daub on a darker powder matching the tone of your skin. I hope this is helpful!
