Hello, summer wedding season! This is the time of year where showing a little leg is practically a requirement but wearing stockings is the last thing we want to do. How else can a woman get flawless-looking legs without out them? A pair of sheer pantyhose can have the benefit of smoothing down last night's guacamole fest and covering up leg veins, scrapes from weeding the garden and any other bug bites turned what-the-heck-happened, but, let's face it, they're hot on 90-degree days!

So, if you want to say no to stockings, but look like you have flawless Hollywood starlet legs, we have a trick for you...Glow Time BB Cream and Golden Shimmer Face & Body Lotion.

Leg Makeup Pro Tips
