Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, Leg Spray-On Makeup, Medium Glow 4.4 Oz

I don’t normally write reviews, but this product had so many reviews that threw me off when reading them, that I thought this review might help.First, I want to say that this is an excellent product if you understand what it is and what its purpose is. This is a body makeup, not a sunless tanner! While it can, and does give a sun kissed glow like a sunless tanner, its uses and properties are vastly different.I got the “fairest” shade and it makes my very light skin look nicely tanned. It’s not a deep dark tan, but very close to my normal sun-tanned shade. I bought this product because, after multiple pregnancies, I have many unsightly veins on my legs that make me self conscious when my legs are visible.So let me highlight this product:1.) It is a water resistant makeup foundation. It is not totally soap proof so you might see minor steaks after showering, it is not at all difficult to touch up and blend the streaks out.2.) It is buildable until you get the coverage you need, or desire. The color does deepen the more layers you put on. I don’t find it necessary to use more than two layers.3.) Since it is not a sunless tanner, it dries quickly and does not rub off on clothing once it is dry. Many reviewers mentioned mixing it with other lotions or lotioning the areas you normally lotion before using sunless tanners (elbows, knees, around feet and ankles, palms). This is not necessary or recommended. I believe this contributes to the many reviews that complained of it rubbing off. The other lotions disturb the adhesion of the foundation.4.)The color you achieve after putting it on is the color it will stay. It does not develop over time like a sunless tanner. This makes it very easy to get flawless even coverage. The coverage I have achieved is not complete coverage, (I don’t believe you could cover a tattoo with it), but it does vastly improve discolorations and unsightly veins. The improvement is enough that I feel comfortable when my legs are visible.5.) While it is marketed to the legs, this can be used beautifully on any area of the body including the face.6.) It can be easily exfoliated away when you are finished with it.7.) No special care is necessary when using your hands to put it on. It will wash off your hands with soap and water.8.) I have received many compliments saying my legs have never looked so good!

I really didn’t expect to like this product and was quite surprised. I felt there was no way a makeup product could work on legs, much less last for more than a day. Then there was the whole issue of matching color so it didn’t look ridiculous.It turns out that this stuff works really well. You’re able to control the depth of color based on the amount that you put on. It lasts for several days but could be removed if you really wanted to. It even survived showers if you don’t scrub your legs.Upon applying it, it’s obvious that the color of my legs changed. It’s not obvious to someone else that I’m wearing make up though. It’s translucent so it doesn’t fully cover, which is actually really good so it looks realistic. I feel like the shade I purchased would work on many shades of lighter than colored skin. I got light, not fairest, though my skin is quite light.

It does NOT cover spider veins, this is NOT full coverage by any means but does dull the appearance of them. Was disappointed since this is why I purchased it. Comes out orange color, you REALLY need to blend it in. First used my hands, then a brush I purchased for applying and the brush works much better, would highly recommend using a brush. Bought the medium, leaves a very light tan color after blending. Blending is the key. Makes my legs and arms looked air brushed and slightly tanned, nice look. Did rub off in some areas but seems to wash out of clothing. Lasts through a shower but not sure about being in a pool for a while. Would purchase again.

(Will update w photos of use) A quick shout out to the packagers. Packaged so carefully, wrapped perfectly, and an extra layer that I appreciate SO MUCH: tamper proof seal around the entire can itself.—Haven’t used this since highschool when a more feminine fashionista friend introduced me to the world of, fashion, aesthetics, etc. she was also pale and freckled. Back then I loved it, it made my skin look even & smooth, DID NOT LOOK FAKE! BLEW MY MIND! it covered the discoloration that some very pale ppl experience (purple patterns of venules over the entire leg which comes and goes, major unavoidable tan lines, freckles, moles, dark spots, u name it) I only used it during significant outings back then.—Every now and again I would remember this product & think “i gotta get that again!” Then would forget again. lol I finally got it 20 yrs later. The color & pckg is a little diff but hey 2 decades yeesh.—Now that I’m older (38) & have some newer skin issues (severely dry) I’m not sure how this will pan out. I’m really hoping for good results I could use the help! will absolutely upload a video and/or photos. 🤞WISH ME LUCK! 💘 yours, Ashley
