Most women have cellulite, or fat fat that dimples the skin around the thighs. Covering cellulite for one night requires concealing the lumpy skin using clothing, spa treatments and beauty products. Whether you are wearing a bathing suit or a form-fitting mini-dress for a special event, you’ll need expert tips to temporarily conceal the unsightly lumps and bumps.
Get a fake tan. Apply a sunless tanning cream to darken lumpy skin. After a quick shower, exfoliate skin with a loofah. Apply the sunless tanner to the sides, front and back of your legs and to your buttocks. Blend the product evenly. Let the product dry for 30 minutes before putting on clothes.
Cover your legs with pantyhose. Hose has a smoothing effect on the cellulite: it conceals the appearance of bumps to the naked eye. Select a pair of pantyhose with a high Lycra and spandex content to ensure that the hose fibers are thick and have a smoothing effect over your legs, hips and thighs.
Add shapewear to your cellulite-fighting arsenal. Girdles, shapewear and body shapers are appropriate for jersey dresses and tight fitting garments that may reveal the cellulite hiding beneath the material. To hide the cellulite on your legs and buttocks for one night, wear nude-colored shapewear under dresses, form-fitting skirts, leggings and pants.
