How To Make Body Lotion Shimmer & Glow

Beauty recipes aren’t limited to just makeup. You can learn how to make body lotion shimmers. You can mix up a glow lotion. You can even make super shimmer products in just a few minutes using only two ingredients. The best part is there’s no cooking involved.

  • Take 2 parts of your favorite body moisturizer.

  • Add 1 part of Flamingo Fancy by Benefit Cosmetics.

  • Mix and apply.

"You'll love the way your skin looks!"

Simple Tip
This Glow Lotion gives you a subtle glow. Use it for a healthy look. It's beautiful for enhancing a Fake Tan. Mix up enough for several days and take it in a little travel bottle if you're going on vacation.


Shimmer Body Lotion Recipe

This recipe does more than give you a glow – you'll shimmer!

  • Take 1 Tablespoon regular body lotion.

  • Add silver or gold mica pigment to it.

Where do you get the pigment? You can either use mica pigments from a mineral makeup kit or...you can simply grind up a gold shimmer eyeshadow and mix it into your products.

Super Body Shimmer Lotion

Sometimes around the holidays it’s fun to go all out with shimmer. The way to make a super shimmer lotion is to enhance a shimmer moisturizer.

  • Take Nivea Body Silky Shimmer Lotion.

  • Add mica pigment to it. Just grind up a frosted silver, gold, peach or pink eyeshadow and mix it into a dab of lotion.

Knowing how to make body lotion with products you already have enables you to wear festive looks in an instant without having to acquire all new products. Plus, it's fun to make!
