Whether you are looking to conceal or just to add a touch of shimmering bronze after months cooped up at home, we have you covered with this round-up of the best body cosmetic products—organised from highest to lowest coverage

1. Dermablend Professional Leg and Body Makeup

Dermablend Professional shot to viral fame around 2015 when they tested out their Leg and Body Make-up's coverage on Rick Genest, a.k.a. Zombie Boy, transforming from the tattoo-covered Canadian bad boy to a straight-laced, regular boy-next door. To this day, you cannot find a more easy-to-use, high-performing concealing body foundation. Suitable for all skin-types, this product promises 16 hours of smudge and transfer-resistant wear to cover up everything from varicose veins and stretch marks to tattoos and bruises when used with setting powder. 

And while experts at Dermablend Professional recommend that users apply, layer and blend on dry skin without lotion or sunscreen, there is no need to worry about the skin drying out because the foundation is formulated with SPF 25 and other nourishing ingredients to protect and hydrate the skin all-day.

2. Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation

In 2018, Peter Philips introduced the Dior Backstage line with 40 shades of lightweight, sweat-proof foundation for the face and body. With the introduction of the Dior Backstage Body Primer and his most recent Face & Body Powder-no-Powder, this foundation is key to recreating iconic, head-to-toe runway Dior looks with a flawless matte finish.

4. Make Up Forever Water Blend Face and Body Foundation

For those who don't like the feeling of layers of make-up on their skin, this 80 per cent water foundation—available in 20 shades— is the lightest of them all. Non-sticky and comfortable, this foundation is also enriched with pro-vitamin B5 to even out the skin and give it a fresh, dewy glow.

5. Fenty Beauty Body Sauce Luminizing Body Tint

Just this month, Fenty Beauty introduced a new body make-up product to accompany Body Lava, their much-loved, high-shine body oil. The Body Sauce Luminizing Body Tint provides a buildable, sheer to medium coverage that blurs blemishes and evens out skin tones. Available in seven shades, from the lighter Pearl Swirl and Hunnie Hunnie to darker Salty Caramel and Chocolate Reign, this lightweight body tint strikes the perfect balance between coverage and shimmer for those who are looking for a subtler healthy glow. 

Formulated with Babassu Oil and Vitamin E, we can tell this new addition to Fenty Beauty's impressive roster is going to be a must-have beauty product, a saviour against post-lockdown pastiness.

6. Huda Beauty N.Y.M.P.H All Over Body Highlighter

Available in three shades, Huda Beauty's Liquid Pantyhose Body Highlighter creates a realistic illusion of smooth hosiery on the legs and body. And living up to its name, N.Y.M.P.H. (for 'Not Your Mama's Panty Hose'), it leaves a bronze glow that accentuates every curve on the body. 

Available in three shades, Luna, Aphrodite, and Aurora, it can be used on its own for a shimmering highlight or mixed with foundation for fuller coverage.

7. Becca Cosmetics Ignite Liquified Light Highlighter

With the surprise announcement that Becca Cosmetics will be shutting down permanently this September, it may be wise to stock up on their award-winning Becca Ignite Liquified Light Highlighter before it's too late. Available in  shades, this moisturising body highlighter smells of tropical fruits and is formulated with vitamin E, sunflower oil and micro-pearls, where a few drops will leave a light glow on the face and body.

However, many prefer to layer this crystal-gel cream for the full luminous effect that leave onlookers in awe at every shrug of the shoulder or flash of the calf.
