glowing legs

I have always liked Naomi Campbells` shiny glowing legs! I was thinking of buying some waterproof make up for legs and all I`ve found online is Sally Hansen`s Airbrush Legs but the opinions about this product are very contradictious. So, could anyone reommend me leg make up that applies even, doesn`t spot the clothes and doesn`t rub by them? Or may be some not too oily glowing lotion? Thanks

The only thing I have ever used is the Jergens Natural Glow lotions, it worked well for me. It takes a few days, but I liked it.

Its not make-up but if you got a bit of a tan going coca butter lotion (the 100% pure stuff) is amazing for soft glowing skin. It's a little oily, but personally I like it. Definitely not something to use out to the beach though cause sand will get all over you forever!

You could also try one of those all over shimmer powders.... VS has one

There's some really good makeup called Derma Blend(not sure it gives a glow) you can get some for the body and legs. I want to try some of this for my legs. I know someone who uses it for a scar they have.

If you admire Naomi Cambells glow,well she has natural brown skin,most everyone I know with darker skin can easily achieve a glow. Baby oil,vaseline,shea butter or coco butter will do the trick, This combined with tanner skin can achieve a beautiful glow.

Jergens makes a lotion that gives a natural looking gradual tan effect that indeed glows after so many uses.

Thank you very much for your replies. Unfortunately baby oil, shea or cocoa butter are too oily for me. Plus here we`re expcting temteratures up to 104 F for the upcoming days and I think if I show myself in the open air I would feel enough sticky even without the baby or mineral oils.

I went to my local pharmacy with the same question and I`ve been adviced to buy a Nuxe shimmering dry oil.

Trixi.VonLace, I`ll try it tomorrow and if you like I could share its effect.

I get that radiant glow effect on my arms and my legs with baby oil at the end of my shower then TOWEL DRY IT OFF so its not left on all oily, it still leaves a sheen glow and doesnt leave my greasy plus husband says I have the softest skin ever awww.

Exfoliating, and moisturizing helps of course. Sally Hansen airbrush, will give you a flawless airbrushed looked but it is more of a matte finnish so you won't get a glow. Highlighter powder that you use of your face applied straight down your shins will give you the pretty glow you want. St Tropez has great self tanner, and they also have "instant glow" which gives you a tan and a pretty glow that you can wash right off at night.

Interesting!

For the instant glow do you mean this:


If not, may I have a photo?

It`s a pity there`s no St. Tropez cosmetics in my country and I`ll have to pay shipping...

Other than that the Nuxe dry oil I bought is fantastic!
