When Sunbathing Goes Awry
"Covering tan lines is the same as concealing other body flaws -- only this time the discoloration is lighter versus darker," says Koury. Again, match the shade to the tanned area and then build the coverage over the lighter areas. Remember to set the foundation with a powder.

But Does It Get Rid of Cellulite?
Sadly, no. Since cellulite is a texture issue, not a pigmentation issue, makeup can't cover it up. But there is a silver lining: "Since darker tones recede visually and look smaller, cellulite will look less noticeable on a 'tanned' or bronzed leg than one that is not," says Koury. You can do this by using applying body makeup that is a slightly darker shade than your skin tone. Just make sure to apply it all over your leg instead of in one concentrated area.

Take It Off
Don't think that you can just hop in the shower and rinse your body makeup off with regular body wash. To remove long-lasting body makeup, look for a creamy cleanser designed to remove heavy-duty makeup. When using creamy makeup removers, Koury says to apply it directly over the camouflaged area and massage in circular motions, and then wipe it off with a towel.
