Sexy, flawless, sun-kissed legs… In a can!
It’s mid-summer, and your legs have taken a serious beating. Your shins are bruised from dancing the night away and bumping into, well, everything. Mosquitoes swarm about finding you sweet as a midnight mimosa. Your knees are rash-raged from too much beach volleyball. To make matters worse, you may have even spotted a conspicuous vein or two. Rats! What’s a girl to do?
Sexy, even-toned legs are where it’s at, but in this hectic modern world, legs are often the first to show signs of wear and tear, especially during miniskirt season. Not to mention pantyhose are so, errrrrgh, matronly.
Sally Hansen, the famous nail care company, offers a perfect solution in its lightweight leg makeup, Airbrush Legs (or as I like to call it, “legs in a can.”) “Leg makeup?” you ask begrudgingly… “What is the world coming to?” Yes ladies, leg makeup! Trust me on this. It’s sweat-proof and relatively transfer-resistant. As a makeup artist, this product has saved me on set so many times when the photographer wants to “tan” the model’s legs or conceal bruises in a snap (literally).
Airbrush Legs comes in 4 shades: Light, Medium, Tan and Deep. In my opinion the product works best when sprayed evenly onto freshly shaved, liberally moisturized skin. If you can have a friend help you apply it, all the better; I can’t tell you how many “girls’ nights out” I’ve attended, before which I have been summoned to the rescue, Airbrush Legs and moisturizer in hand.
This product is a MUST for date nights, red carpet events and photographer-laden galas. Just be sure to blend, blend blend. That’s why it’s important to moisturize first. Also you must wait a full minute before dressing. It’s a basic formula that works well, just buy the appropriate shade so you’re not walking around with creamy natural arms and Jersey-worthy legs. 😉
Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is available at most drugstores and retails for approximately $13.00.
