It’s summertime! Which means, BBQ’S, sunshine, trips to the beach and getting your glow on. Whether you’re interested in contouring and bronzing or you want something extra to add on top of them, body shimmers are the go-to glow method for you. Sometimes body shimmers can be a bit intimidating if you’re not used to wearing them but a shimmer doesn’t mean you have to look like Edward Cullen. They can be used to add a natural, shining glow to your skin.
Of course, Fenty beauty had to make the list! The queen of beauty always has to make our list! Her body lava luminizer is a gel-based liquid that illuminates the skin to give it a high-shine, dewy finish. It glides on the skin for easy application and will highlight your body to perfection. Whether you want a subtle summer glow or a dramatic veil of glitz, you can achieve exactly what you want with this product.
It comes in three shades so make sure you get the right one for your skin tone. Who needs clothes is a rose-gold shade, brown sugar will give you a bronze colouring and trophy wife is a metallic gold that will light you up wherever you go!
