The question is, when and where would you want or need to use body makeup. One good reason could be if you have a job interview and have a tattoo that would normally show. You can use body makeup to cover this up which could be a great advantage to you.

In addition when you go to the beach and get most of your body out for the world to see. You may have certain blemishes or marks on your skin that you do not want to be obvious. By using body makeup you can cover up and reduce the appearance of these marks and so helping you to feel much more comfortable sitting in the sun.

As well as covering up you can also use body makeup to enhance certain areas of your body that you want people to notice. For example you can use it to make your cleavage, legs or stomach muscles more pronounced and appealing to other people.

So how do you go about applying body makeup? The first thing you need to do is select your body makeup. It is important to select a shade that completely matches your natural skin tone. This is particularly important if you are going to cover up any marks or blemishes on your skin.

You should also select a shade that is about 1 to 2 shades lighter than your matched shade. You can then use the darker colour to contour and the lighter shade to highlight the areas that you want.

Once you have all of your makeup ready you can begin application. The first thing to do is to prepare your body. In order to do this you should exfoliate your skin. There are a lot of exfoliating products out there and you are best to select one that removes dead skin cells and slightly tightens the skin. This will have the effect of making the skin ready for the makeup and able to absorb the makeup properly.

You now need to apply a moisturiser to ensure your skin is fully nourished before you apply your makeup. You are best to use a light moisturiser here as a heavy one may prevent the makeup from staying in place. After you have applied the moisturiser make sure you let it dry before you begin to apply the makeup.

You can now begin to apply your makeup. It is important to pay attention to the natural contours of your body and to apply the makeup accordingly. When attempting to cover up a blemish make sure you use your matched colour. It is important to ensure you properly blend in your makeup so that there is no feathering and it looks completely natural. Remember to use your lighter shade of makeup to highlight the areas you want people to notice.

Once this is all applied you need to set your makeup. The best way to do this is to use a translucent powder and lightly dust it over the areas where you have applied make up.

Voila you have beautiful flawless skin all over your body, who wouldn't want that.
