body foundation advice please!

[2blessed2bstressed]

My friend is off to a wedding in a few weeks, in a lovely sleeveless dress. She's read an article about Kylie Minogue where the teeny pop princess has said that the one thing she'd never leave the house without was body foundation. Apparently it makes an incredible difference and she swears by it.
Friend is v fair and doesn't want a spraytan or anything (which is my go-to when I have to bare flesh) but was intrigued by this. We did both wonder if it would streak, or smear, and which brand was best, so I said I'd ask here....cos MN can answer everything!

So can anyone tell me if they've tried a body foundation? And if you have, then which is best, how do you apply it, and what's the staying power like? Please!

Haven't tried one (wouldn't like to expose that much of my body,frankly) but I believe Mac Face and Body is good, I think Pixiwoo recommend it - have a look on YouTube, there must be application tips on there.

I would recommend Rimmel Sunshimmer in matte.

I bought it last week for £1 in Sainsburys in medium matte (they do light, medium and dark in matte and shimmer, I think)

I'm really pale and I've never used anything like this before (it washes straight off - I do fake tan but have never tried body makeup) and it is excellent. Doesn't smudge, doesn't streak and you can see where you are putting it.

my friend used the Mac F&B for a wedding last month and was v pleased with it. She was going to lend it to me so I had a go on my leg to test it out. The consistancy and cover were very good but the colour was too light for me. I am going to see what other colours it comes in. I've tried the sally hansen stuff for legs but am not convinced it will last a day and eve. I will try Rimmel too NewDog I like the price!!!!!!
