Crafted to offer 24-hour sweat and waterproof coverage, this buildable body base is all about a natural-looking glow. Natural doesn’t necessarily mean sheer though – this stuff is billed by the brand as an ‘eraser for skin imperfections’ so it can cloak everything from age spots to body acne, with buyers even calling it a ‘life saver’.

Craving colour with just a hint of coverage? This body foundation-instant tan hybrid (from celeb tanning guru James Read) is all about locking in a speedy sun-kissed look sans hassle/wait time.

This velvety vitamin E-infused treat will cloak imperfections, provide plentiful hydration and gift a generous amount of glow. It’s not an all-over illuminator, though – moreso a blurring body tint with a few subtle specks of shimmer.

To paraphrase When Harry Met Sally, we want what Rihanna’s having in the body makeup department; she always looks flawless. Well, this is it! The stunningly named ‘Body Sauce’ is a gel-cream loaded with skin care benefits (shoutout to Babassu oil and vitamin E). It’s transfer-resistant, silky-smooth, and a cinch to blend and build. As for the finish, it sits somewhere between body foundation and body illuminator, making it the perfect intro product.
