WESTMORE BEAUTY BODY COVERAGE PERFECTOR/ILLUMINATOR SHADE GOLDEN RADIANCE + MITT

Ok so I am 48 years old and my skin, like most women my age, has been "kissed" by the sun more than it should. Years of thinking it would never affect me has finally caught up as I age. My skin has lots of white pigment spots and a kind of translucent old lady appearance-white with red and more white spots. I have gotten quite self conscious wearing anything that shows my legs, arms or chest because of this...my skin just looks blotchy and old for lack of a better way to describe it. I have been using a self tanner for last couple years to at least not look like a corpse since I am trying to now protect my skin from more sun damage, but it just tans me and doesn't hide any of the blotchy appearance. Enter this magic formula! Holy absolute c**p this stuff is amazing!!! My skin looks 20 years younger! It helps to blend the blotchy-ness and give me a nice even skin tone. It makes my skin glow with a nice tanned look. My skin looks soft and silky and just glowing with this stuff! I was amazed when I started with an arm/hand and compared to my untouched side...had to stop and take a photo. I was like "OH MY GOD, IT LOOKS SO GOOD!" It not only adds a nice tanned glow but it really does even out the blotchy appearance making my skin look more like it did in my 30s. I was going to say 20s but maybe not quite that good but I will take any improvement I can get! You can still see my darker age spots but they don't seem as noticeable with everything else looking more even and smoothed out. I tested putting it on last night after I showered then sleeping in it to see how it held up and if it transferred. I did see a little on my white sheets but really not much and in the morning I washed my face and reapplied for the day and my skin looks amazing. This is a body makeup, which I have never used, it won't stay on after a shower with soap and water, which is fine. The difference this stuff makes in how much younger and smooth my skin looks is totally worth applying every day to any exposed skin. This will now be my foundation for my face any other skin not covered by my clothes. I will feel confident to wear skirts or shorts without nylons (which I hate) which is an amazing feeling! I bought a less expensive off-brand blend and blur brush which worked great to apply the product. You really don't need much. I squirted a bit on the brush then worked it into my skin. After I was done applying I used the glove from my other self tanner to buff it out. Let it dry for 10-15 min and I was good to go. It doesn't rub off like normal foundation will. No sticky feeling and best of all NO smell!! I hate the smell that self tanners leave behind, this one doesn't smell at all and I am very sensitive to smells. The only bad is that a self tanner will last for a few days even after showering, this won't, but the coverage this gives is worth it. This product will replace my face powder foundation and other self tanner. If I could dip myself in this stuff I would, I am so in love with how great it makes my skin look. My hubby instantly saw the difference and loved how it made me look. You can layer it to get more coverage...but if you are expecting it to cover darker spots or tattoos, I can't see it doing that without caking it on very very heavy. Even then it wouldn't really and would look gross. but if you have blotchy old lady skin like I do and just want a youthful even glow, then you will absolutely love this stuff! Photos show one layer of the product next to an untouched side. Amazing difference right!?

This does NOT cover spider veins, freckles or anything else. It is quite nice for colour and reflection and goes on easily. It Does transfer onto clothing a bit.

This product should have 6 stars, it’s that good. I have major white and brown sunspots and it’s gotten to the point where I didn’t even want to show my arms or legs. The coverage is excellent, so smooth and even and natural looking. You can still see my white spots but they aren’t so noticeable . If I put on more product, they would all be gone but I wanted a natural result. I had seen all the commercials but I wasn’t convinced until I tried it. I ended up purchasing the dupe brush instead of the $49 one and it worked great. I have a huge smile on my face and so excited to not cover up any more!

Didn’t cover anything at all.

Product does not stay put whatsoever. Never dried completely, after hours of waiting. Tried it with a “power grip” primer first, this just made it clump up and feel perpetually sticky. Tried it with a long-lasting setting spray after applying, this seemed to make the never-ending drying process go from “indefinite” to “infinite” and “impossible”, in other words… never gonna happen. I was not sweating, I stood in between multiple cool fans and even tried using a blowdryer on a cool setting to help dry it or set it quicker. Meanwhile I touched nothing, sat on nothing, wore nothing. It was exhausting. After about an hour I had to put on some form of clothing so I could move around my house and not freak my kids out. I chose to put on a swimsuit because it covered the least amount of skin and I thought it would make for less contact with the product, since I was still holding out hope it would dry eventually… it had to right?? Wrong! Within a few minutes I had stains from the makeup all over my swimsuit, simply from arms barely brushing up against it for a split second, bending over so a section of fabric momentarily, lightly came in contact with my upper leg, whatever. This crap was getting everywhere. My dog passed me in the hallway at one point and I barely felt the very tips of his fur lightly graze my lower leg, he didn’t even impress any body weight against me it was barely a passing breeze. Looked down and sure enough, a huge patch of my calf was pale white again where the tan glow of the makeup had disappeared. God forbid I sit down in it or bend or move in such a way as to rub my skin against anything or let anything come close to contact with my skin, which obviously is not feasible unless you’re only planning on using this on an inanimate mannequin or a deceased person. Not even reliable for a quick red-carpet pose for one singular paparazzi photo… because moving or breathing or existing at all while wearing this stuff means that everyone & everything is going to be wearing more of it than you within a few seconds of being in the same vicinity. Not to mention that it seems like once it does transfer to anything but your skin… it suddenly decides to start doing its job right and thereby refuses to budge from the item in question, or the victim who didn’t ask for it to be slathered onto them instead. Meaning everything it touches, it stains instantly, and no amount of cleaning products or scrubbing will get it out of anything no matter how fast your reaction time is. And I do mean everything. From walls, to porcelain sinks, to fabrics and upholstery, even trying to successfully wipe it from the metal tubing on a folding chair was a ridiculous effort… took about 8 different types of cleaning wipes, magic erasers, Brillo pads, sponges and clothes mixed and matched with everything from makeup remover to comet to Dawn soap to laundry detergent to abrasives to all sorts of sprays including goo-gone… and all it did was spread it around into this plasma slime consistency that adamantly refused to dissolve. But on my skin- if I even batted an eyelash at it it would dissipate into thin air as if I had never put it on at all, or worse- migrate to an entirely different section of skin and make the whole of me look a hot splotchy mess. I felt like a human oil spill. Needless to say I wasted my $40 when a bottle of regular old foundation would’ve worked a thousand times better… even if I did have to buy 50 of them to cover my body rather than simply my face. And no, I applied no lotions or creams or oils before using this product. I showered, scrubbed my skin with body wash and a loofah, shaved, and exfoliated with a pretty gritty body scrub so my skin should have been dry and prepped perfectly for staying makeup application of any caliber. I’m disappointed to say the least, now everything in my house is ruined, covered in this makeup that had a mind of its own… and clearly had an predetermined agenda to practically leap off my skin onto anything else without discrimination, regardless of whether or not any pressure whatsoever was applied to it in the slightest and in utter disregard for all the laws of physics that the rest of the universe is bound by. It was a true phenomenon, but not at all in a good way and definitely to the opposite extreme of how it was intended, sold, and claimed to be. The only reason I even gave it any stars at all is because the color matched my skin very well, before it started melting and migrating and puddling all over the place… it did look nice on for the split second after initially applying it, very sparkly and dewy. Obvi tho- the “dewy” part was taken a little too far in the batch of formula I got anyway, as it literally slid away from me as if by some force of magnetic repulsion. Maybe my skin just doesn’t have the right dryness/scaliness to get it it to stick, even after all that prep work and skipping any lotions, creams, oils or moisturizers after my shower. But honestly I kinda feel like I’d have to have skin the texture of a crocodile to get it to stay put at all, and I don’t wish that for myself or anyone else either. I didn’t even bother applying powder to try and set it, bc honestly I was just too frustrated to start over and I didn’t want to try that in the first place since I originally intended to wear it to the pool. But seeing as how poorly it stayed on my skin in cool dry air without hardly any movement for 2 hours, my hopes of it holding up in a pool were obvi shot down immediately, and adding powder would’ve made that clumping factor a thousand times worse in actual watery/humid conditions. So there was no point in trying that for my purposes. If you’re just planning on using it to cover up skin for a dress up occasion in a cold dry climate, use powder and it might work better for you… but I’d caution strongly against even attempting to use this in the summer, a humid climate, if you anticipate sweating at all, and most importantly- if you’re planning on trying it out with any sort of clothing that you actually like and don’t want immediately ruined by it. Also don’t recommend sitting on or touching anyone or anything while wearing it- bc it will certainly destroy expensive car upholstery, purses, couches, and other people’s clothing as well. Good luck. Unless you have the exterior of a reptile, then totally go for it. They’d be smarter to come out with this product in a dozen shades of green, instead of human skin colors, on that note.
