There are secrets to getting longer looking legs… even if you’re not an amazon woman you can still get sexier looking legs instantly!
Secret #1: Nude Shoes
When wearing a dress, trading in normal pumps for nude ones elongates your legs. This is a go to trick for Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston.
Secret #2: Body Makeup
I got this tip from the makeup artist that gets all the Victoria’s Secret models catwalk ready for their annual fashion show and the girls always look amazing! Now you can get the same look, use a bronzing lotion with a shimmer (not a self tanner). I LOVE Body Bling by Scott Barnes. J.Lo and Beyonce swear by this. I have worked with Scott before and the man is a genius, he invented J.Lo’s bronzed look and she has never looked back! Rub all over your legs, I like using Use rubber latex gloves (I find great ones at Home Depot) to apply the Body Bling, this prevents you from getting your hands too dark. It is also great to use on your arms and all over your body… you don’t want to look uneven! Give yourself about 20 minutes before you get dressed to let it dry and to avoid getting it on your clothes. Apply lightly, a little goes a long way.
With a powder brush and a light shimmer highlighter, 
I use Revlon Skinlights in their lightest shade. Available at drug stores. Dust the shimmer up and down your legs sticking to the middle area. This brings emphasis to the highlighted areas giving you an instant slim effect and when you are in any light your legs will pop. You can also use this to make your arms look thinner by doing the same technique.
Scott Barnes Body Bling $32
Revlon Skinlights $12
That’s it… Just two simple steps to longer sexier legs!
For this shoot I wore gold heels. As long as they blend with your skin tone they will still elongate your legs.
Very cool…I always heard abt the nude shoes…good tips tho. Thanks for sharing! Best of luck with your site!
Hey Courtney,
Awesome tips. I need more help than that, will it work with Converse? I’d love to hear what skin care lines you use, naipolish and makeup etc. Being in the modelling industry, you probably know which ones work and which don’t. Can’t wait to see the swim suits too! This is going to be a hit. Hope you don’t mind but I’m going to share this link on my spa site.
Cool! I got short legs so I will put in practice this technique
Courtney, I cannot wear heels at all I have to wear an ankle splint so I can walk and I can only wear boots and sneakers. Any suggestions for me on how to elongate my legs or will those two techniques still work?
I would use nude or tan ballet flats!
Ms. Courtney, leave it to me. I love this idea, will start tomorrow. Lucky my mom gave me self esteem vs.the horror I used to feel being called bird legs, when she tolde me I had models legs. Saw them differently ever since. Now for my long legs, I still love, any help for that little extra age around a 47 year olds knees, makeup somehow, anything?
I bought these legs for my lastet DIY Project, a custom foldable Beer-Pong Table. While I am guessing most people reading this are considering a slightly different use, mine should serve as a good test of quality, as few tables take are likely to be experience the kinds of stresses that a Beer-Pong Table, frequently battered or collapsed on by inebriated party-goers, is routinely exposed to. As such, I am happy to say that these legs have held up extremely well under even the worst of treatments. If you are looking to build your own folding table, you will be hard-pressed to find a more solid, reliable part. The only time I would recommend a different part would be when style was your primary concern, as these are designed for function, not aesthetic appeal.Overall, I have been exceptionally happy with this purchase, and would buy them again should I attempt a similar project. The sole reason they did not receive a 5-Star rating is the overall absence of documentation: While simple enough to install, a brief Instruction Sheet would probably reassure first-time DIYers that they are doing everything correctly.
Try Salley Hansens Airbrush Tights. Available at all drugstores, it smooths out your legs and gives a little coverage, it’s awesome!
Thank you Courtney! I’ll try your suggestions!
If you want come and have a look at my fashion blog! It would be an honour for me to have a comment by you!
