Body makeup is so underrated and underused. Most of us are happy to slap a bit of concealer or foundation on our faces. But for some reason, the idea of masking a prominent vein or mottled skin with the equivalent body product feels a bit high-maintenance - or theatrical, perhaps?
The irony of dismissing body makeup as 'a bit much' is that it can lead to far more extreme measures - such as never buying sleeveless tops even if we like them, or sweating it out in 90 deniers under our slinky party dress. The best fake tan can work wonders, but most are time-intensive whole-body jobs. You may not want all-over-bronzing, or have a deep skin tone and no desire to tan specifically.
