What can I use to make my legs look lovely?!

I am very pale and have red knees that I can not get rid of. Fake tan helps to a degree but leaves my red knees either red (if I don’t touch them with the tan) or orange with a very light touch of tan. What product can I use on them that will make them look even and nice so I can be confident getting them out to go out?! Not that salt Hansen leg spray as that makes me look like I’m wearing those old lady fake tan tights.... I have tried shimmery oils and whilst lovely do nothing ...

Another rec for Vita Liberata body blur in Latte. Apply it with a mitt or a brush though. Make up revolution have just brought out some brushes especially for applying body make up.

As a PP said, your foundation mixed with body lotion can work really well too and you can just apply it with your hands as it has a bit more slip. The body blur takes a bit of practice.

Isle of paradise tanning drops (added to moisturiser) are the absolute shit.

I have Sally Hansen airbrush legs which works like this. You spray it on and rub it in. It washes off in the shower but I found it didn't transfer or wash off if it was raining. Ihave very white legs and it gives them a light bronzy glow (not quite as dark as fake tan) and covers up obvious veins etc. I am completely inept at applying fake tan and always end up with streaks/dark patches but I didn't have any trouble with this.

I just can’t get on with the sally Hansen... I look like I’m wearing those 90’s tan tights!!

Forgot Mac do that body foundation snd o use Mac! I will try that next if I don’t get on with the body blur!

Doesn't foundation on your legs just rub off?
