BACKSTAGE BEAUTY SECRETS REVEALED: The Makeup Artists' Go-To's For Photo-Ready Limbs & Bodies

Photo session glow doesn't happen by accident. So what products are behind the glossy images we see of our favourite celebrities?

Behind the flawless limbs of models and A-listers lies a beauty insider secret: our brand has become the backstage essential for makeup artists prepping stars for photo shoots, premieres, and the biggest nights in fashion and film.

Founded with a vision to revolutionise leg care and the approach to cellulite, Legology has quietly taken over the red carpet, becoming the ultimate body-beauty toolkit trusted by top makeup artists. With a mission to contour, smooth and perfect the appearance of legs, Legology has beaten the major beauty houses at their own game, delivering on results women were always promised but rarely experienced.

My time as a beauty editor proved to me that the consumer was being left behind by so many brands. The letters I got from readers of my columns said the same things – that they couldn't find the solutions they wanted for deeply unsexy issues like puffy ankles, dry shins and cellulite – and I was determined to find a way to do what the big beauty houses had failed to do.

Her quest led her to develop Legology with a French chemist, bottling only 500 jars of her first product, Air-Lite, on her first production run, and now overseeing a global business with eight products and an impressive VIP fan base including Liv Tyler, Liv Bentley, Kate Moss, Jennifer Aniston and Kate Hudson.

Celebrity makeup artist Charlie Duffy, a regular behind the scenes at high-profile events and fashion editorials with famous faces (and legs) like Davina McCall, Emma Watson, Alesha Dixon and Maya Jama, swears by Legology.

Legology is often seen backstage at seasonal fashion collections – Irish designer Paul Costelloe is a huge fan of the brand and his makeup artists use it to dress his models’ legs before catwalk shows. Charlie reveals that “everyone always comments on the amazing smell and fashion stylists love the fact that it doesn’t leave a residue on the clothes.”

The brand’s cult-favourite products—Air-Lite contouring cream and Cellu-Lite oil—are now essential in the kits of industry insiders. Legology products are designed not only to smooth and hydrate, but also to contour and tone the appearance of limbs with zero mess and maximum impact.

So what began as a single-minded mission has grown into a beauty phenomenon, becoming a fixture not just behind the scenes at fashion shows and on photo shoots, but at Cannes, the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the BAFTAs.

With its luxurious feel, performance-driven formulas, and high editorial pedigree, Legology has redefined body beauty—and it’s not just for legs anymore. Whether it’s bare arms on the runway, décolleté at a gala, or that all-important ‘perfect pins’ moment on the red carpet, Legology is the quiet force making celebrity skin look next-level luminous.
