There are products that we test out of curiosity, and those that we then keep on hand all summer. THE Body Lava from Fenty Beauty clearly falls into the second category. This gel body illuminator gives the skin that golden, satin finish, almost back from vacation, but without spending a minute in the sun. And honestly, that’s exactly what we love when dresses, skirts and tops with thin straps finally come out.
Already cult, very present on TikTok, this glow in a bottle is back at the right time: the Fenty Beauty brand displays a good satisfaction index on Beauté-Test, and the product is currently on sale at -25% at Sephora. Suffice to say that if you were looking for a sign to offer a little light to your legs, your shoulders or your neckline, here it is.
A body illuminator that gives a golden glow without sun
THE Fenty Beauty Body Lava is not a self-tanner. It does not color the skin gradually and does not require gloves, precise application or stress on the ankles. Its role is simpler: to deposit a luminous veil on the skin thanks to micro-pearls which capture the light. The gel texture glides on easily, without a sticky finish, and leaves a radiant yet wearable shine. On the legs, it immediately gives a smoother skin effect. On the shoulders, it catches the light just right. On the neckline, it brings that little summer glow that changes everything, especially with already hydrated skin.
The kind of product we take out as soon as the weather is nice
What we like is its instantaneous side. No need to wait for the color to develop, no need to expose yourself, no need to plan your routine three hours before going out. We apply, we blend, and the skin immediately appears more golden, more luminous, more dressed. The floral vanilla scent also adds that very holiday feel. It’s sunny, a little addictive, but not complicated. And that’s why we understand its success on TikTok very well: the results can be seen in video, in photos, in real life, and above all it makes you want to bring out all your summer outfits.
How to apply it for a stunning finish?
The easiest way is to apply it to areas that naturally catch the light: the shins, shoulders, collarbones, arms or the top of the neckline. A small amount is enough, then blend well to avoid demarcations. Fenty Beauty recommends using it with the Face & Body Kabuki 160, sold separately. Its dense synthetic bristles allow the material to melt quickly, especially on large areas like the legs or arms. With fingers, it also works, but the brush gives a more uniform and more chic result.
Is Fenty Beauty Body Lava a self-tanner?
No, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava is not a self-tanner. It does not tan the skin or gradually color it. It simply leaves a luminous and satiny veil to give a sunless golden skin effect.
How to use Fenty Beauty Body Lava?
We apply it to the areas that we want to illuminate, such as the legs, arms, shoulders or neckline. It can be blended with your fingers, but the Kabuki 160 brush allows for a more uniform finish.
Is Fenty Beauty Body Lava suitable for all skin tones?
Yes, its formula contains luminous micro-pearls and a subtle touch of color designed to enhance all skin tones. You simply have to dose according to the desired glow intensity.
