Beyond al fresco dining options and bright pedicure shade choices, there s another pressing concern on the minds of diehard warm weather enthusiasts at the moment. It s time for the inevitable pre-summer leg reveal, when limbs finally make their grand debut after hiding out underneath wool tights and slim leather pants all season long. And while some glow-inducing self tanners can take a week or more to develop their true color, the Insta-satisfied generation practically demands an instant solution for healthy looking legs in a flash. Enter body bronzing makeup: the commitment free, 10 second answer to looking less pale and more gazelle-like in no time.

Toeing the line between a sun tan and a body oil, these shimmering tinted lotions don t contain DHA, but they do make slipping on that new Chloe mini skirt no big deal. Easily applied without any tools, they last for one night only. "It just makes your skin look better," explains celebrity makeup artist, Sir John, who is the one-man force behind Beyoncé s supernatural on-stage skin. He counts Alleven s new sheer body product as one of his kit essentials—because, as he puts it, "your complexion starts at your forehead and ends at your toes, no exceptions."

For best results, Sir John recommends prepping the skin by exfoliating with a light scrub and follow with a hydrating moisturizer to ensure a beautiful canvas. From Charlotte Tilbury s model-tested, roll-on bronze lotion to Kopari s all natural coconut infused oil and Rihanna s latest, sold-out Fenty Beauty liquid gold luminizer, here are 9 ways to get better looking legs, right now.
