Recommendations for instant leg make-up to even skin tone and cover marks

16 replies

Singleaftermarriage · 02/06/2026 07:24

Can I have recommendations for something instant to put on my legs if I am wearing something shorts that stops like them looking as pale but also covers the obvious different skin tones and scars and marks from my clumsy childhood plus veins that now show. Not necessarily fake tan but I hear there is cream to make legs look a bit more "perfect"?? Thanks

Following. I keep getting adverts for Miracle de Paris but no idea if it's any good.

Hi OP. For what you’re describing you’re probably looking for a body makeup or leg tint? The ones that work best usually rely on light-reflecting pigments & soft coverage polymers. Ingredient-wise look for iron oxides and film-forming agents. If you want something more natural-looking, go for lighter tint formulas rather than heavy full-coverage body makeup because those tend to look more like skin/less like paint. Hope this helps a bit.

Sally Hansen airbrush legs. It’s amazing.

Has anyone tried the Miracle de Paris shown above?

I use Sally Hansen and it has good natural looking coverage, but it doesn't cover the red purply thread veins on my ankles very well! That might be my flippin ankles and nothing to do with Sally...😊

Vita liberata body blur. Pricey, but really good, doesn't transfer at all. The Sally Hansen does a similar job, but not as good and I find it a bit runny and hard to manage.

This - it is THE best.

Fair for when you have little colour on your legs and medium if you have a bit of a tan. I like to put a few squirts on a mitt and sweep over my legs in circular motions.
It is a miracle worker. Expensive but a little goes a long way so it lasts for ages.

I tried Miracle de Paris and liked it. It’s quite thick so you have to blend carefully. It doesn’t transfer or come off in the pool. Needs a good lather and rub with a flannel in the shower to remove it.

I like tje Miricle de Paris also.
The brush is a really nice way to apply. Blended annoying tan strap marks brilliantly and decent/natural coverage on blotchy arms and legs!

Agree with the Miracle de Paris, blends well with the brush, looks natural and lasts well. It does come off a bit in my pyjamas when I’m sweaty overnight but not otherwise!
