Face & Body Highlight/Shimmer –  our formula is perfect as a body glow, body shimmer, body bronzer and body highlighter all in one!

Body & Leg Makeup – Body Radiance lightweight makeup blurs imperfections on the entire body, also known as “liquid pantyhose”, not heavy or full coverage makeup.

Flattering on all Skin Tones – every shade is a different look and any skin tone can use any shade. See our shade videos and chart below.

6 Shades – Darker shades are perfect for contour, bronzing, and amping up a tan on lighter skin. Lighter shades are perfect for glow and POP!

How To Use It:

Safe for the Face – use as an illuminating primer, create a buildable highlight or sunkissed tint

Mix it Up – blend Gleam Body Radiance with your favorite liquid foundation, BB Cream or other skincare product for an all-over glow! When using on the body, do not mix with lotions or oils or transfer may occur.
