I was curious about the Westmore Body Perfector because it’s marketed as a quick way to make the skin on your body look smoother, more even, and more polished. I liked the idea of something that could give my skin a more finished appearance without having to commit to a full-body makeup routine.
After using it, I can see the appeal. It does make a difference in how the skin looks, but I think the results depend heavily on what you’re expecting from it.
Key Takeaways
- Gives the skin a more even, polished appearance.
- Helps blur the look of imperfections and uneven tone.
- Leaves the skin looking smoother and more put together.
- It isn’t a replacement for body makeup if you need substantial coverage.
- Application takes a little more care than I expected.
- The effect is primarily cosmetic and temporary.
- I liked the overall finish, but I wouldn’t call it a dramatic transformation.
What Is Westmore Body Perfector?
Westmore Body Perfector is a tinted body product designed to improve the appearance of the skin by evening out tone and helping to blur imperfections.
It’s essentially somewhere between body makeup and skincare. You’re not putting it on expecting it to permanently change your skin; the point is to make your skin look better while you’re wearing it.
Why I Tried It
I liked the idea of having something I could use when I wanted my skin to look a little more even and polished, particularly when wearing clothing that leaves more skin exposed.
I’m not usually interested in products that require a ridiculous amount of effort for a barely noticeable payoff, so I wanted to see whether this could actually make enough of a difference to be worth keeping around.
My Experience Using Westmore Body Perfector
The first thing I noticed was that it did give my skin a more even and finished appearance. It wasn’t like suddenly having completely different skin, but areas that looked a little uneven or imperfect looked more uniform after applying the product. I particularly liked the overall effect on my skin tone because it made everything look a little more polished.
It also helped soften the appearance of minor imperfections rather than making them stand out as much.
The finish was probably my favorite part. I didn’t want something that looked obviously like I had painted makeup all over my body, and when applied properly, this looked much more like better-looking skin than obvious body makeup.
That said, application matters.
I found that I had to pay attention to how much I was using and make sure I blended it properly. Applying too much in one area can make the product more noticeable, so it’s not quite a case of slapping it on and forgetting about it.
And that’s probably where my expectations had to adjust. I initially thought of it as something that would really conceal imperfections, but I wouldn’t describe it as heavy coverage.
It’s more about evening, smoothing, and polishing the overall appearance of the skin.
So if you’re hoping it will completely cover significant discoloration, scars, stretch marks, or other noticeable imperfections, I wouldn’t expect that level of coverage.
For what it is, though, I liked the effect. My skin simply looked a little more put together when I used it.
What I Liked
- Made my skin look more even.
- Gave my skin a smoother, more polished appearance.
- Helped soften the appearance of minor imperfections.
- Didn’t look overly makeup-like when blended properly.
- Useful when I wanted my skin to look especially put together.
- The effect was immediately visible.
What I Didn’t Like
- You have to blend it properly.
- It’s easy to overdo it.
- Coverage isn’t heavy enough for significant imperfections.
- The results are temporary.
- It feels more like body makeup than a skincare treatment.
Did Westmore Body Perfector Actually Work?
Yes, for what it’s designed to do. I noticed that my skin looked more even and polished after applying it, and minor imperfections were less noticeable.
But I wouldn’t buy it expecting it to completely conceal every imperfection on your body. The effect is more subtle than that.
For me, it’s best thought of as a skin-finishing product rather than a heavy-duty body concealer.
Is It Worth the Price?
I’m a little torn. I liked the results, but whether it’s worth the price really comes down to how often you’d use it.
If you’re someone who regularly wants your legs, arms, chest, or other exposed skin to look more even and polished, I can see getting good use out of it.
For occasional use, though, it’s harder for me to justify spending a lot on something that’s essentially giving you a temporary cosmetic improvement.

Conclusion
Westmore Body Perfector is one of those products where I think expectations make a big difference. It did make my skin look better. My skin looked more even, smoother, and generally more polished, and I liked that the effect wasn’t screaming “I’m wearing body makeup.”
At the same time, I wouldn’t describe it as a miracle product or a heavy-duty concealer. If you have significant discoloration or imperfections that you want completely hidden, you’ll probably need something with more coverage.
For me, the appeal is really the overall finishing effect. It makes exposed skin look a little more uniform and put together without requiring an elaborate routine.
Would I buy it again?
Maybe. I liked the result, but I’d have to consider how often I’d actually use it before spending the money again.
Would I recommend it?
Yes, with realistic expectations. If you’re looking for a subtle way to make your skin look smoother and more even, I think it’s worth considering. If you’re looking for full coverage, I’d choose something more heavy-duty.
