Hi everyone! Today, I will review something that is a little different from a traditional foundation, and that is body makeup. Body makeup has great coverage and it is designed for the face, as well as the skin on other parts of the body that need something covered up, such as tattoos, scars, varicose veins, birthmarks, dark knees and elbows, stretch marks, bruises, and age spots. In the meantime while you cover it up, use Rose Beauty Cream to even the skin tone naturally.
Leg and body foundation can also be used for blending the neck and chest with your face makeup. Both women and men have a use for this kind of product.
The body foundation that I will review today is the Dermablend Professional Leg and Body Makeup.
Cost: $16-$35, depending on where you buy it.
Shades: This foundation comes in 12 shades. One thing that I really appreciate about this foundation is that there is an equal number of light and tan dark shades. There are six light and six dark shades. The tan darker shades are Medium Golden, Medium Bronze, Tan Honey, Tan Golden, Deep Golden, and Deep Natural.
The shade that I bought to review is the shade Medium Golden. This shade is way too light for my skin tone, but it looked similar to my skin tone online, so the shades that you see online are not very accurate. Thus, when picking this foundation, definitely choose a shade or two darker than the one that you think looks most like your skin tone.
One great thing about this foundation is that it is waterproof and it adheres to the skin like a BB cream or a CC cream does. This makes this foundation a great one to mix with other foundations to make them adhere better to the skin, and to help your makeup last longer, even if it gets wet. 
Whiteheads: One downside to this foundation is that it will settle into the whiteheads on the nose.
Formula: This foundation has a thick cream-like consistency.
Dark Circles: This foundation did reduce the appearance of dark circles.
Redness: This foundation did cover redness nicely.
Coverage: This foundation gave me medium coverage, and you can layer it for even more coverage. I did get more coverage when I applied this foundation with my fingers, rather than with a beauty blender.
Color/White Cast: This foundation is too white on my skin, and it leaves a white cast in bright lighting, but I think that if I got the right shade, this would not be a problem. Also
Eye Area: This foundation did not settle into the lines underneath my eyes when I applied it with a beauty blender.
Dry Skin: This foundation did not settle into the dry areas on my skin when applied with a beauty blender.
Application: This foundation is a bit more work to blend out with fingers. When I applied it with my fingers, it did settle into the dry patches on my skin and it showed the lines underneath my eyes. When I applied this foundation with a beauty blender, my skin looked smoother, it had a glow, and it looked youthful and brighter. So, it is best to apply this foundation with a beauty blender, since fingers do not blend the foundation out enough since the formula is thick.
Wear/Oiliness: This foundation did get oily after a while, so make sure that you set it with powder. When I mixed this foundation with another foundation, it did not get oily; in fact, it was perfect.
I definitely will repurchase this foundation again because it works perfectly when mixed with another foundation. I can also use it to lighten foundations that are too dark. It also does not budge when it gets wet, even if you mix it with another foundation. When mixed with another foundation, it makes the foundation sit more like a BB or CC cream, so it adheres well to the skin and does not move around on the face. Thus, I definitely want another one of these body foundations to try it in a darker shade.
I became sold on this body foundation when I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I wore this foundation since it is waterproof, and no matter how many times the dentist wet me and wiped my face with a tissue, the foundation did not show up on the napkin. So, for this reason alone, I definitely think that this is a foundation to keep on hand for special occasions like this, as well as for dealing with bad weather (snow and rain), or when going swimming. Thus, I highly recommend this foundation. It is currently one of the best quality foundations that I have in my collection.
