Charlotte Tilbury Supermodel Body, $65

Ellie Goulding, Poppy Delevigne, Maggie Gyllenhall -- these are just a handful of women who had this applied before hitting up this year's Met Gala. Its description as an "optical illusion" is an accurate one: just a few sweeps of the metal rollerball across your legs and arms, and limbs look longer, leaner and more luminous. It also contains a skin-firming complex and soothing aloe vera and allantoin.

Ciaté Bikini Body Balm, $29

Ciaté may have started out as a nail polish brand, but we've been consistently impressed with their foray into makeup. You can use this solid, creamy balm to add concentrated shimmer down your shins and across your collarbone as a highlighter, or use the included puff to sweep the vitamin E-enriched, pearly formula over your skin and give yourself a champagne glow (not to be confused with the glow that comes from drinking too much champagne).

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Shimmering Body Oil Spray, $40

With this mist-on shimmer, you can completely forgo your perfume. It's scented with the brand's classic Bronze Goddess scent -- a summery blend that begins with creamy scents like coconut milk, sandalwood and vanilla, transforming into a zestier scent with notes of Sicilian bergamot and lemon before finishing with floral notes of jasmine, lavender and tiare flower, all laced through with the underlying sensual scent of amber. Essentially, this is the skin-softening spray you want to mist on before a hot date in the summertime.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR Multi-Usage Dry Oil Shimmer, $45

Not only is this preservative-free, made-in-France product incredibly gorgeous to look at, it imparts skin with a shimmering, soft, hydrated glow and divine, perfume-y scent. Plus, you can use it on your face and hair as well, and it's crafted from six nourishing plant oils.

Nars Body Glow, $59

This mist simply smells of the beach and summertime. The lightweight oil is made by infusing coconut oil with the bud of the tiare flower, and then blended, giving it an intoxicating fragrance and subtle shimmer that works on all skin tones.

Try:

Urban Decay Naked Skin Body Beauty Balm, $32

A BB cream for your body, it gives you a multitude of short-term and long-term benefits, like instant skin smoothing and perfecting, and over time it helps tighten and firm skin thanks to the brand's signature complexes and ingredients like green tea extract and vitamin E.

Jergens BB Body, $12.99

This illuminating moisturizer evens out skin tone, firms sagging areas, and hydrates. For everyday situations when you need to create an optical illusion and blur skin imperfections like errant bruises, scars and veins, this under $15 find can't be beat. It has a lightweight formula that sinks in incredibly quickly, and comes in two shades: light and dark.

Try:

Viktor and Rolf Bonbon Body Shimmer Powder, $80

This is a body shimmer Elle Woods would undoubtedly be obsessed with. The pink particles give skin a luminous, soft shimmer with a lingering hint of the brand's fan-favorite Bonbon fragrance -- a sugary-sweet (but not cloying) scent that has notes of caramel, fruit and flowers. The powder puff applicator feels very Old Hollywood movie star.

Victoria's Secret Instant Bronzing Shimmer Powder, $24

If you're having flashbacks to middle school run-ins with Victoria's Secret shimmer lotion, you needn't worry -- the shimmer the fluffy brush deposits on your skin is surprisingly subtle and sophisticated. It gives skin a nice glow without being over-the-top, and the giant brush makes it incredibly fun (and easy) to apply).

Michael Kors Leg Shine, $32

This deodorant-shaped stick opens to a rich brown stick with golden sparkles that only looks intimidating. On skin, it's actually quite subtle, giving it a glowing sheen with just a few swipes across your legs. The hints of incense and woodsy notes add a sexiness to the floral scent. Plus, the solid formula is perfect for packing on vacay.

Try:

Bliss Fat Girl Slim Hide & Glow Seek, $38

This tinted body spray goes on with nary a streak in sight; once applied, the pearly tint instantly smoothes and camouflages imperfections (like veins and even cellulite). The spray also contains a potent blend of moisturizing maracuja oil, free radical-battling vitamin E, toning peptides and de-puffing caffeine. And though it stays on all day without smearing, it only takes some body wash and a bit of water to remove it at the end of the day.

Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, $13.99

This ultra-lightweight spray virtually eliminates things like freckles, veins and bruises, leaving legs ready for short skirts. Simply spray on the moisturizing formula (it's got palmaria extract to condition dull skin) and blend it in for budge-proof coverage that lasts all day and doesn't look fake. Bonus: It comes in five shades, so everyone from the super pale to deep skin can get their glow on.
