The Body Glow Trick Models Use Before Every Shoot

That runway-leg glow is not body oil — oil ruins clothes and looks greasy on camera. The trick backstage is simpler.

Step one: body milk everywhere, ten minutes before dressing — fully absorbed, satin base. Step two: a coin-sized amount of the same milk warmed between palms and pressed — not rubbed — onto the high points only: shins, collarbones, tops of shoulders. The second thin layer on high points catches light exactly where a camera looks.

Optional level three for events: mix a drop of liquid highlighter into that second layer. Never apply highlighter straight to dry skin — it sits on top and flakes.

The base and the glow in one bottle: Butta Drop.
