When it comes to body imperfections—stretch marks, scars, veins, or hyperpigmentation—coverage options have historically been limited. Enter Westmore Beauty Body Coverage Perfector, a product that went viral on TikTok and Instagram as “body makeup” that doesn’t transfer. Marketed as waterproof, transfer-resistant, and capable of covering everything from spider veins to surgical scars, it promises a photoshopped look in real life. But does it live up to the social media hype?

Our team at Original Beauty purchased and tested the Body Coverage Perfector for four weeks across multiple skin tones and concern types. This review dives deep into application, wear, and real-world performance, with photographic evidence.

What Is Westmore Beauty Body Coverage Perfector?

Developed by celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal, this product is essentially a high-coverage, waterproof concealer for your body. It comes in a tube with a sponge-tip applicator and is available in 12 shades. Unlike traditional foundation, it’s specifically formulated to adhere to body skin (which has different texture and oil production than the face) and resist rubbing off on clothing.

Key Claims from the Brand:

  • Waterproof and transfer-resistant

  • Covers scars, stretch marks, veins, bruises, and tattoos

  • Lasts all day

  • Works on all body parts (legs, arms, décolletage)

  • Dries to a skin-like finish

Our Testing Methodology: Real Conditions

To move beyond controlled studio lighting, we tested under real-life conditions:

  • Duration: 4 weeks, with wear tests ranging from 4 to 12 hours

  • Activities: Office work, exercise, outdoor walks in heat, and a formal event

  • Testers: 5 individuals with different skin tones (Fair, Light, Medium, Tan, Deep) and concerns (surgical scars, spider veins, stretch marks, pigmentation)

  • Comparison: We compared it to other body makeup (Dermablend Leg & Body Makeup) and standard concealers

Application & Finish: Step-by-Step Results

Texture & Consistency

The product has a thick, creamy consistency—noticeably denser than facial concealer. It spreads smoothly but sets quickly. The sponge-tip applicator is convenient for spot application but less ideal for larger areas like thighs; we recommend using a dense body brush or makeup sponge for blending.

Coverage Ability: Before & After Analysis

Rating: 9/10 for coverage

This is where the product truly delivers. On spider veins and bruises, one layer provided near-complete coverage. For raised or textured scars and dark stretch marks, two thin, layered applications achieved 85-95% coverage.

Real Tester Note: “My C-section scar, which is reddish-purple, became barely visible. It didn’t completely flatten the texture, but the color correction was remarkable.” — Jamie, Medium skin tone.

Shade Range & Matching

Rating: 7/10 for shade range

While 12 shades cover a broad spectrum, the middle shades (Light to Tan) have better undertone variation than the deepest shades, which lean neutral/warm. Our deepest-skinned tester (shade “Espresso”) noted it was slightly ashy. Always swatch—the brand’s online shade guide is moderately accurate but can appear lighter when dry.

Performance & Wear Tests: The Good & The Bad

Water & Sweat Resistance

Sweat Test (Light Exercise): After 30 minutes of brisk walking, the product remained intact with minimal sheen. No streaking occurred.
Water Test (Shower/Swim Claim): We tested a small patch in the shower. While it didn’t “wash right off,” it did break down slightly under direct, hot water flow. It’s shower-resistant but not waterproof in the truest sense.

Transfer Resistance: The White Cloth Test

This is a major selling point. We applied the product and pressed a white cotton dress against it after 10 minutes of drying time.

  • Result: Minimal to no transfer on dry fabric. However, when the fabric was rubbed firmly, a slight transfer occurred on some testers.

  • Real-World: It survived hugs and clothing friction but transferred slightly onto tight elastic (like bra straps or waistbands).

Longevity: Does It Last “All Day”?

On dry body areas (arms, shins): 8-10 hours with minimal fading.
On high-friction areas (inner thighs, underarms): 4-6 hours before some breakdown.
Verdict: It lasts through a workday or event but may need touch-ups for all-day wear in humid climates or with friction.

Comparative Review: Westmore vs. The Competition

Feature Westmore Body Coverage Perfector Dermablend Leg & Body Makeup MAC Face & Body Foundation
Coverage Very High, Buildable Extremely High, Full Light-Medium, Sheer
Texture Creamy, Sets Quickly Thick, Requires Setting Powder Liquid, Never Fully Sets
Transfer Resistance Excellent on Dry Contact Good (with powder) Poor
Shade Range 12 Shades 20+ Shades 13 Shades
Best For Targeted coverage of scars/veins Full leg coverage for events All-over glow with light coverage
Price per oz $30.50 $38.00 $33.00

Bottom line: Westmore excels at spot correction rather than full-body application. It’s more user-friendly for beginners than professional-grade Dermablend.

Who Should Buy Westmore Body Coverage Perfector?

BUY IT IF:

  • You have localized concerns (scars, veins, bruises) rather than full-body discoloration.

  • You need transfer-resistant coverage for clothing or events.

  • You want a quick, targeted solution without the mess of liquid body makeup.

  • You’re attending a special occasion (wedding, photoshoot, vacation).

SKIP IT IF:

  • You need to cover large areas (full legs)—it would become expensive and time-consuming.

  • You have very dry or flaky skin—it can emphasize texture.

  • You want sweatproof workout coverage—it’s not designed for intense exercise.

  • You have deep skin tones with cool undertones—the shade range may not match perfectly.

Application Pro-Tips from Our Tests

  1. Prep is Crucial: Exfoliate and moisturize the area 10 minutes before application. Dry skin will make the product look cakey.

  2. Less is More: Start with a tiny amount—it’s highly pigmented. You can always add more.

  3. Blend Quickly: Use a damp makeup sponge and work in sections; it sets fast.

  4. Set Problem Areas: For high-friction zones, dust lightly with translucent powder.

  5. Removal: Use an oil-based cleanser or micellar water. Bar soap won’t fully remove it.

Final Verdict & Rating

Overall Rating: 4.0 / 5.0

The Truth: The Westmore Beauty Body Coverage Perfector is one of the best products on the market for targeted body coverage. It delivers on its core promise: high coverage with minimal transfer. While it’s not completely bulletproof (and the shade range could improve), it performs significantly better than using facial makeup on the body.

Value: At $30 for 0.5 oz, it’s priced as a prestige product. For someone who needs reliable coverage for scars or veins for special occasions, it’s worth the investment. For everyday full-leg coverage, other products may be more cost-effective.

Our Recommendation: If you’ve struggled with visible body imperfections and want a confidence boost for wearing shorts, dresses, or swimsuits, this product will likely work for you. Purchase from retailers with a good return policy (like Sephora or the brand’s website) to test the shade match.
