We see crazy makeup transformation tutorials all the time online, so why not try those out in real life? Fake toned legs<\/a> and arms by dusting bronzer<\/strong> at the sides and where your natural muscle lines show. Just make sure you blend it in really well and avoid wearing light colors so the makeup doesn’t transfer and give your illusion away. Speaking of avoiding certain colors…<\/p>\n

So, stock up on those navy blues, charcoal grays, and blacks, stat!<\/p>\n
4. Wear Body Shapers<\/h3>\n
