Westmore Beauty Body Coverage Perfector – Waterproof Leg & Body Makeup - Tattoo Cover Up Makeup - 3.5 Oz (Bronze Radiance)

I was hesitant to use this stuff, because I thought it would be messy and ineffective. I'm 50 and my legs are a little more pale and veiny than I'd like, and I bruise easily. So I tried it for a wedding and OMG - amazing. It lasted all day, didn't budge when I got sweaty and looked amazing. I kept looking at my legs because they looked so smooth! When you first put it on the color looks wrong, but blend it in and build as needed, and then gently buff after it's dry, as instructed - you will be amazed. It's easy to apply. Glad I tried it!

I purchased the body coverage perfector in Natural Radiance because I have horrible red and purple spots and bruising on my arms and legs. I also purchased the brush that is sold along with it. I learned that you need a decent brush to spread and buff out the product. So far, I have worn this on my arms and bottom part of my legs. It was very easy to put on my arms and buff it out, then I sprayed on some inexpensive setting spray that you can buy in Sephora, I waited about 10 minutes and then I got dressed and went out. I was pleasantly surprised at how natural it looked and it didn't come off until later in the day. I have no idea how it would do in the rain. It is much harder to brush onto my legs, it takes a long time and it is harder to get it all even, so I have to practice that. I am in my upper 60's and I have very thin skin that has awful red and purple marks on it, and they are hard to cover. For the darker marks, I put on dermablend corrector in the color Sand (30 N), you can just dab it on the really bad marks and then put Westmore body perfector over it. I do not like the dermablend product all over my arms, it looks fake and it is too heavy. That is why I bought the body perfector, it is lighter and looks far more natural. I'll see how this goes and maybe I'll continue to use it.So, two weeks later I have been using this body coverage perfector in Natural Radiance and I have been tweaking my routine. First off, a lot of reviewers feel that it doesn't have enough coverage, and indeed it is called "natural radiance" for a reason, it is supposed to look natural on your skin and not cakey and weird looking. That's why I like it. What I have been doing is to first use a crayon like concealer such as Dermablend quick fix full coverage stick in beige or Minimalist in Bisque, it is thick like a crayon. These are expensive but my dermablend crayon has lasted well over a year and I still have a lot left, so these are used to just dab onto your darkest spots and then use the natural radiance, just put a small amount onto your brush, it has to be a good buffer brush to blend everything in. I don't use Dermablend or Minimalist crayons all over my legs or arms because they are too thick and look unnatural. This is why I like Natural Radiance because it looks like my skin, only better! You should play around with the color of your crayon, you don't want it to be too light or dark, and then play around with how much natural radiance you need to cover up dark spots and veins. I am in my upper 60's and have ugly dark red and purple spots all over my legs and arms and veins, and I know I will never be able to cover up all of these and I'm OK with that. Westmore Natural Radiance makes me look better, not perfect. Try it and see. I have no commercial interest in these products, I make no money from these reviews, so you can trust this 60 something year old women who wants to be able to go out in a nice dress without dreaded stockings!

Product does not stay put whatsoever. Never dried completely, after hours of waiting. Tried it with a “power grip” primer first, this just made it clump up and feel perpetually sticky. Tried it with a long-lasting setting spray after applying, this seemed to make the never-ending drying process go from “indefinite” to “infinite” and “impossible”, in other words… never gonna happen. I was not sweating, I stood in between multiple cool fans and even tried using a blowdryer on a cool setting to help dry it or set it quicker. Meanwhile I touched nothing, sat on nothing, wore nothing. It was exhausting. After about an hour I had to put on some form of clothing so I could move around my house and not freak my kids out. I chose to put on a swimsuit because it covered the least amount of skin and I thought it would make for less contact with the product, since I was still holding out hope it would dry eventually… it had to right?? Wrong! Within a few minutes I had stains from the makeup all over my swimsuit, simply from arms barely brushing up against it for a split second, bending over so a section of fabric momentarily, lightly came in contact with my upper leg, whatever. This crap was getting everywhere. My dog passed me in the hallway at one point and I barely felt the very tips of his fur lightly graze my lower leg, he didn’t even impress any body weight against me it was barely a passing breeze. Looked down and sure enough, a huge patch of my calf was pale white again where the tan glow of the makeup had disappeared. God forbid I sit down in it or bend or move in such a way as to rub my skin against anything or let anything come close to contact with my skin, which obviously is not feasible unless you’re only planning on using this on an inanimate mannequin or a deceased person. Not even reliable for a quick red-carpet pose for one singular paparazzi photo… because moving or breathing or existing at all while wearing this stuff means that everyone & everything is going to be wearing more of it than you within a few seconds of being in the same vicinity. Not to mention that it seems like once it does transfer to anything but your skin… it suddenly decides to start doing its job right and thereby refuses to budge from the item in question, or the victim who didn’t ask for it to be slathered onto them instead. Meaning everything it touches, it stains instantly, and no amount of cleaning products or scrubbing will get it out of anything no matter how fast your reaction time is. And I do mean everything. From walls, to porcelain sinks, to fabrics and upholstery, even trying to successfully wipe it from the metal tubing on a folding chair was a ridiculous effort… took about 8 different types of cleaning wipes, magic erasers, Brillo pads, sponges and clothes mixed and matched with everything from makeup remover to comet to Dawn soap to laundry detergent to abrasives to all sorts of sprays including goo-gone… and all it did was spread it around into this plasma slime consistency that adamantly refused to dissolve. But on my skin- if I even batted an eyelash at it it would dissipate into thin air as if I had never put it on at all, or worse- migrate to an entirely different section of skin and make the whole of me look a hot splotchy mess. I felt like a human oil spill. Needless to say I wasted my $40 when a bottle of regular old foundation would’ve worked a thousand times better… even if I did have to buy 50 of them to cover my body rather than simply my face. And no, I applied no lotions or creams or oils before using this product. I showered, scrubbed my skin with body wash and a loofah, shaved, and exfoliated with a pretty gritty body scrub so my skin should have been dry and prepped perfectly for staying makeup application of any caliber. I’m disappointed to say the least, now everything in my house is ruined, covered in this makeup that had a mind of its own… and clearly had an predetermined agenda to practically leap off my skin onto anything else without discrimination, regardless of whether or not any pressure whatsoever was applied to it in the slightest and in utter disregard for all the laws of physics that the rest of the universe is bound by. It was a true phenomenon, but not at all in a good way and definitely to the opposite extreme of how it was intended, sold, and claimed to be. The only reason I even gave it any stars at all is because the color matched my skin very well, before it started melting and migrating and puddling all over the place… it did look nice on for the split second after initially applying it, very sparkly and dewy. Obvi tho- the “dewy” part was taken a little too far in the batch of formula I got anyway, as it literally slid away from me as if by some force of magnetic repulsion. Maybe my skin just doesn’t have the right dryness/scaliness to get it it to stick, even after all that prep work and skipping any lotions, creams, oils or moisturizers after my shower. But honestly I kinda feel like I’d have to have skin the texture of a crocodile to get it to stay put at all, and I don’t wish that for myself or anyone else either. I didn’t even bother applying powder to try and set it, bc honestly I was just too frustrated to start over and I didn’t want to try that in the first place since I originally intended to wear it to the pool. But seeing as how poorly it stayed on my skin in cool dry air without hardly any movement for 2 hours, my hopes of it holding up in a pool were obvi shot down immediately, and adding powder would’ve made that clumping factor a thousand times worse in actual watery/humid conditions. So there was no point in trying that for my purposes. If you’re just planning on using it to cover up skin for a dress up occasion in a cold dry climate, use powder and it might work better for you… but I’d caution strongly against even attempting to use this in the summer, a humid climate, if you anticipate sweating at all, and most importantly- if you’re planning on trying it out with any sort of clothing that you actually like and don’t want immediately ruined by it. Also don’t recommend sitting on or touching anyone or anything while wearing it- bc it will certainly destroy expensive car upholstery, purses, couches, and other people’s clothing as well. Good luck. Unless you have the exterior of a reptile, then totally go for it. They’d be smarter to come out with this product in a dozen shades of green, instead of human skin colors, on that note.

I wanted to write a realistic review of this product because I bought it with really high hopes of covering spider veins and blemishes on my legs. I got the Natural Radiance shade because I don’t have a tan yet and didn’t want my legs to look way darker than the rest of my body. The positives I can say are that I love the look of the product on my legs. The shade is really pretty and it gives my skin a shimmery glow. The downside is that it really didn’t cover that well. I applied 2 layers and you could still see the spider veins and blemishes, although they were blurred a bit. So that was disappointing. The other thing is that in a couple of pictures my legs looked pretty orange. They didn’t look like that in person. In the first picture I attached my legs look orange, and in the second picture they don’t. So it probably has to do with the lighting. No filters were used. I do like this product and will continue to use it. If you want your legs to have a shimmery glow and not look so pale, I’d definitely recommend. If you’re expecting full coverage, I wouldn’t buy it.
