Do you want to break out that cute short skirt, but you're worried a varicose vein might show? Did you put that halter top back in the closet just because of a pimple on your back? We all have a flaw or unattractive blemish somewhere, but it shouldn't be holding you back- and with a good body makeup, it won't be! Body makeup can be used to cover just about any flaw, anywhere on your body. So don't let an ugly knee-bruise put a hiccup in your get-up. Get yourself a good body makeup, and get on your way.

The key to a good body makeup is a perfect match, and a flawless blend. You might need more than one makeup for different areas of your body, especially during different seasons. Don't think that the shade that covered your spider veins at the beach in the summer will be able to cover them just as well at a cocktail party in mid-winter.When you go to purchase your body makeup, make sure that it's an exact match for the area of intended use. If you aren't sure which one matches best, you can ask an attendant if you can sample different colors, and have them help you determine which works best. You'll want a thick makeup ...
... that's completely opaque for best coverage. Every time you use it, take a look in the mirror to make sure the match is still right before you go out. It's no use trying to cover up a flaw with a bigger one.

When you apply your makeup, blot it across the necessary area, and then smooth it into place with a makeup sponge, and then blend it in with the surrounding skin. Make sure that the covering is completely blended in, because a bad blend can look just as bad as a bad match. Next, seal your body makeup with a think dusting of a clear powder. This will help prevent the makeup from running, smudging or rubbing off onto clothing-yours, or anyone else's! So make sure to apply the powder liberally for the best affect. The up-side is, this process will render your cover-up waterproof. The down-side is, you'll need a soap that can really cut through oil to get it off. Make sure to wash thoroughly, especially if it's a pimple that you're covering in the first place. You don't want to cover one, only to invite a dozen of its friend to come and visit by clogging your pores.
