This is how you get instant brown legs, without self-tanner

A week ago, the weather was finally really nice. A moment when you think: this is the perfect evening to head to the beach in a nice dress for dinner with my feet in the sand, a glass of wine in my hand, and romantic company. Super happy, you put on that dress that has been waiting for weeks to finally go outside. And then... you see your legs. Thanks to the gentle spring weather, you have a healthy color on your face, your arms have enjoyed the moments when the jacket could finally come off, but those legs have just been hiding in those jeans all this time.

I personally don't mind having white legs, but it's about the contrast with the rest of my body. Additionally, many people also suffer from those strawberry legs; especially those who shave their legs will recognize the red spots. But a spray tan, tanning bed, or self-tanner, I stay far away from. I just know for sure that those things can only go wrong for me, and then you really look silly for a while. Now, thanks to Chrissy Teigen, I came up with a completely different idea. You can simply mask all the imperfections on your legs with body makeup! Here are the top five best-rated body foundations.

Estée Lauder
This body foundation (with SPF 15) has the highest score but very few colors. So you have to be lucky that your color is included. It is also the most expensive: you pay around €50 for 30 ml.

Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation
Well, the most expensive, but here you also have a lot of choices in terms of colors. They have 43 different shades. You also pay €46 for 50 ml.

MAC
It doesn't differ much in price from Dior, but MAC also offers a lot of shades. Especially for everyone with darker skin types, at MAC you have a better chance of finding the right color. You pay €86 for 100 ml.

Fenty Beauty Body Sauce
The foundation from Fenty has a bit of shimmer effect, giving you a real summer glow. There aren't many colors to choose from, but because of that shine, it won't have that very obvious ‘foundation effect’, so color differences will probably be less noticeable. You pay €45 for 95 ml.

Starskin Stocking Spray
If you're in a hurry, this is probably the best option. It's called ‘stocking spray’ because you spray it on your legs for a pantyhose effect. You can spray as many layers as you want, and it's also water-resistant. It's affordable (€19.50 for 100 ml), but I think this product also runs out a bit faster than the spreadable foundations.

Body foundation is not the cheapest solution, as foundation is inherently expensive, but as a temporary solution, it's super. This way, you have an even skin tone and can give them that nice sunny glow while they really get a chance to tan under the mask of the foundation.
