The Best Body Make-Up For A Sunless Glow
Body Blur, £33 | Vita Liberata
A kit staple for red-carpet make-up artists, Vita Liberata’s Body Blur is the key to glowy, photo-ready skin. Loaded with light-reflective pigments, it adds a flattering warmth – without the unpredictability of a traditional DHA-based tanner formula. It dries down quickly, covering veins and other imperfections with a soft veil of colour.

Studio Face & Body Foundation, £30.40 (was £38) | M.A.C
Another pro favourite is M·A·C Face and Body. Lightweight and full of skin-softening emollients, it has a satin finish – which not only feels comfortable throughout the day, but also looks natural and discreet. The coverage is sheer, but it can be built up in areas you feel need extra attention. Plus, it’s long-wearing and won’t slip around in the heat.

Body Sauce Body Luminizing Tint, £40 | Fenty Beauty
If you’re wanting to cheat your way to a golden hour glow, try Fenty Beauty’s Body Sauce. Full of shimmery particles, it creates a warm, sun-kissed effect – especially flattering on the collarbones if you’re wearing something off the shoulder. The consistency is reasonably thick, so we’d buff it in with a kabuki brush for even coverage.

Airbrush Legs Spray, £13.99 | Sally Hansen
This high street hit is worth its weight in gold. Unlike some other affordable tan-boosters, the colour is reassuringly natural – no orange in sight. Give it a good shake – the brand recommends applying it with your hands but it’s easier to control with a mitt.

Colour Shield, £38 | ALLEVEN
The brainchild of a former supermodel, Italian brand AllEven is rated by celebrity make-up artists tasked with making skin look bright and healthy on camera. The hero of its line-up is Colour Shield – a fine mist made up of tone-adapting pigments. It blurs imperfections and clings to the skin, leaving it looking as though it’s been airbrushed and feeling velvety to the touch.

Sun-Lite Sheer Lingerie For Legs, £38 | Legology
Powered by a unique blend of caffeine, butcher’s broom and goldenrod, Legology’s Sun-Lite is designed to support the lymphatic system. The skincare-focused tint adds a light wash of colour, while also working to depuff and shift fluid under the surface. For an instant leg lift, simply smooth it on with your fingers after some gentle exfoliation.

Body Glow, £28 | REFY
Cool-girl brand Refy is known for its make-up, but you have to try the Body Glow. If you’re after compliment-worthy radiance, make this moisturiser your go-to. Full of pearlescent pigments, it has a pretty, almost molten quality and feels nourishing on the skin thanks to argan oil and tocopheryl acetate (a form of vitamin E).
