I stopped planning outfits around my legs. One layer covers the spots completely and it doesn't move. I wore a dress all day at a wedding and it looked the same at midnight.

Color Match Guarantee
Worried the shade might not match? Don't worry - if it doesn't quite match, we'll exchange it - for free. No cost, no sending anything back, no risk to you.
The match my shade guide above shows the skin tone each shade is designed for. Pick the image closest to your natural tone and you're set. If you get it wrong - no stress. We'll send you the correct shade free, and you keep the original.
No. Shimma is formulated with black seed oil that absorbs into your skin instead of sitting on top - which is why it doesn't transfer. Let it set for about 10 minutes before getting dressed and it stays on your skin, not your outfit. This was the #1 thing we made sure to get right.
One application lasts up to 72 hours. It's waterproof and sweat-proof - you can shower, swim, and work out without it coming off. When you're ready to remove it, gentle soap and warm water does the job.
Yes. Shimma is dermatologically tested, fragrance-free, and free from parabens and harsh chemicals. If you have very reactive skin, we recommend a small patch test on your inner arm first - wait 30 minutes and if there's no irritation, you're good to go everywhere.
Any oil-based cleanser, micellar water, or even coconut oil breaks it down gently. Apply to the area, massage for 15–20 seconds, and wipe off with a warm cloth. It comes off cleanly without scrubbing or irritating your skin. Regular soap and water will gradually fade it over a few days if you prefer to let it wear off naturally.
At Shimma we pride ourselves on getting your order to you as quickly as possible. Orders are processed and shipped within 24 hours — excluding weekends and holidays. Current delivery time is between 7 to 10 business days. Every order includes tracked shipping so you can follow your package to your door.
Real women. Real coverage.
Unlock the secret to flawless skin
See how Shimma is helping thousands of women feel confident again and wear whatever they want worry-free.
The veins behind my calves kept me in jeans for years. First time I put this on I just stared. You can't see them. I wore shorts to the cookout and didn't think about it once.
Old scars on my shins, covered in seconds. It blends into my skin instead of sitting on top like the drugstore one that rubbed off on everything I owned.
I hadn't worn a tank top in four summers. Ten minutes to set, then I patted a white shirt on it — nothing. Sleeveless all summer now and I don't think twice.
A real life blur tool
One layer, ten seconds, and the dark spots, scars and stretch marks you've been hiding are covered. Made with black seed oil that absorbs into Black skin instead of sitting on top like paint, so it stays where you put it. In less than 10 minutes it sets and won't transfer onto your clothes.

Coverage that won't rub off
You've had body makeup end up on your clothes before. This doesn't. Black seed oil carries the coverage into drier Black skin instead of leaving it sitting on top like paint. Give it around 5 minutes to set and it won't transfer - press a tissue to it and see for yourself.

Full coverageFormulated by dermatologists for Black skin
Most body coverage was made for lighter tones, so on deeper skin it has nothing to grab onto - it sits on top like paint and wipes off the second there's friction. It was never your technique, it was the product. Shimma starts with black seed oil, so the coverage absorbs into drier skin instead of perching on it. Deeper skin needs coverage that goes deeper.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's fragrance-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free, and free from harsh chemicals. No hydroquinone, no mercury, no bleaching agents — just clean coverage.
-
Shimma Body Coverage Cream is designed primarily for the body — knees, elbows, legs, arms, chest, underarms. You can use it on your face, but for best results we recommend our Shimma Face Coverage Cream, available as an add-on at checkout. Same quality, formulated specifically for the more delicate skin on your face.
-
Yes. Shimma is waterproof and sweat-proof. You can swim, work out, dance, and sweat — it stays on. We recommend letting it set for 60 seconds after applying before getting in water or breaking a sweat for best results.
-
No. Shimma is non-comedogenic, meaning it won't block your pores. The formula is lightweight and breathable - it sits on the surface of your skin to provide coverage without suffocating it. If you're applying to a large area daily, we recommend cleansing the area with a gentle oil-based cleanser every 2–3 days to keep your skin fresh.

I purchased the complete product line, however it did not cover my varicose veins. The product rubbed off on my clothes, interior of my car, and my chair in the office.
I don’t know. I had high hopes that this would cover my scar and NOT come off on my clothes. This was the first time I tried it and it didn’t work as advertised. It’s disappointing
I have scars in my body and i don't have confidence when i am out with my friends
After my surgery I stopped wearing anything that showed my stomach. I used to love wearing bikinis in the summer but didnt want the scar showing and it was much darker than the rest of my skin. This covered it so well that you can't even tell I have a scar..
Didn't believe it would work on the dark parts on my legs, but it covered them in seconds and stayed on all day in the heat. Toffee color was a great match.
I've had little scars on my knees for years. One thin layer blended them right in — I wore a dress to church and didn't think about the scars on my legs once. It makes you stop worrying about whats on show
I've planned around my thighs every summer for as long as I can remember. It covered the marks in seconds and stayed on all day in that heat. It really works
I stopped liking pictures of myself because of my neck. Started using Shimma when one of my friends said she was using it. It works really well and makes the skin much smoother looking. I took photos at my granddaughter's graduation and loved every one
Let it dry for 10 minutes like the instructions say. It don't transfer!
II was SO skeptical because I've ruined so many white shirts with body makeup. Put this on, waited my 10 minutes. This stuff does NOT transfer and I will never go back.
I purchased Shimma in cocoa because my legs and arms are covered in dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and uneven patches that have gotten worse over the years. I also got the brush that comes with it you definitely need a good brush to blend and buff it out properly. So far I've worn it on my arms and the lower part of my legs. It was really easy to apply on my arms and buff it out smooth, I waited about 5 minutes for it to set and then got dressed and went out. I was genuinely surprised at how natural it looked and it didn't look like makeup at all, just like my skin on a really good day. It lasted most of the day without transferring which was my biggest concern. My legs took a bit more time, especially around my knees where the darkening is the worst you have to build it up and blend carefully to get that area to match the rest of your leg. But once I got it right the difference was unreal. I'm in my late 40s and between years of shaving bumps, sun damage, and just my skin changing as I get older, my legs have looked patchy and uneven for a long time. I tried brightening creams, exfoliators, even body oils that claim to even your tone nothing actually worked. They'd moisturize but the dark spots were still right there. That's why I switched to this. It doesn't try to change your skin, it just makes everything match and look even. For the really stubborn dark patches on my inner thighs I do a second layer and buff it out and it blends perfectly. I'm on my second bottle now and my sister keeps borrowing it so I need to get her one of her own.
Ok so I am 48 years old and my skin has been through it. Years of not wearing sunscreen, shaving bumps, and just life catching up with me. My legs are covered in dark spots and my knees are at least three shades darker than the rest of my leg — they have been since my 30s but it's gotten worse. I stopped wearing dresses and skirts years ago because my skin just looks uneven and tired. I tried every brightening lotion and exfoliator on the market and nothing actually made a real difference. I'd already accepted that this was just how my legs were going to look from now on. Then I tried Shimma and I genuinely could not believe the difference after one application. My legs looked like one smooth even tone from top to bottom — my knees matched, the dark spots disappeared, and my skin had this healthy glow I haven't seen in years. It doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything and it didn't transfer onto my cream couch which was the real test. I actually teared up a little the first time I wore a dress out and didn't think about my legs once. I'm on my second bottle and I've already got my older sister using it too.
I wasn't expecting much honestly but I tried it on one leg and immediately did the other one. The difference side by side was crazy
Gives a nice natural glow and easy to apply with the brush. My legs were a mess but now you can't even tell!
Color didn't match, doesn't cover blemishes, and rubs off and onto clothes. Doesn't live up to any of the claims.
I purchased two colors in order to find my summer and winter match. Unfortunately neither of them match my skin tone. However the product did ship in good timing.
Unfortunately this did not work for me. It got all over everything and didn't cover basic discoloration.
The shade was wrong, too light for us. I need to return them both.
I ordered the color caramel as I always do with any other product . This one was too light. I gave it 2 stars because it is waterproof. Once I mix it with something I already have to match my skin that dilutes the waterproof effectiveness . That’s the only reason I chose this product. With that being said, I feel like it was a waste of money .
I have Vitiligo and your products shade goes on nicely then it dryers turns light and almost disappears which has been my experience with other brands also. So I will not be ordering any more it seems that it’s just my skin condition but you do have a nice product good luck and thank you. Stephanie
Color did not match and product does not live up to nontransfer claim.
Thisnproduct DOES transfer and does not match well with African American deeper tones
This product did not do what it claims… i can still see my tattoo and it was much lighter in tone
Does not cover flaws, to include stretch marks ans it transfers onto fabric
Doesn't cover as well as I thought it would. The commercials are a little deceptive. Instead of one application, I tried 3 coats and I still wasn't satisfied.
Does not hold...and i was in Miami heat
Does not match my skin rubs right off stains my clothes is not water proof waste of money
The color is too light. Its supposed to be Caramel. I put on two applications to see if it would cover the scar. It didn't. The color wiped right off with dry tissue.
Id give it 0 if i could! It doesnt work and your company is unethical! You signed me ip fir a subscription without my knowledge!
I feel the color chart was highly inaccurate. I now have product that I can do nothing with.
Not as complete coverage of the color of veins as I was hoping. Very nice brush . Product did transfer onto clothes a bit more than expected also.
The shade i ordered was not ideal, So it doesn’t give the natural look
I was so excited to try this, as I wanted to support the black version of the Westmore brand. I was disappointed in the time it took to ship, the color match is awful (much lighter than the sample photo), it is more translucent and does not cover my Vitiligo. I was also disappointed that after two hours, it still rubbed off. And after showering 24 hours later, it was completely gone. I want to support you, but I would not place another order. I would prefer to send it back for a refund actually but I’ve been traveling. I bought it for my vacation but didn’t use it after trying it.
I love the shade, it matches my complexion perfectly, and it goes on smoothly! My issue is, that it transfered, even after, half an hour, from applying, the Shimma body coverage. I'm disappointed, about that, because it's advertised, as transfer proof.
It did not perform as advertised. It made my color look gray. It rubbed off on clothing. It didn't cover hyper pigmentation very well. I wasn't able to find a way to return.
Not the color they advertised.
The color is too red for my caramel skin tone, and wash right off in the shower.
I was not happy with the coverage I emailed you all to get a refund and was offered half my money back but it says 100 money back of dissatisfied I shouldn’t have to try a different shade or get more products to make this one work I will send it back I just want a refund because it doesn’t work the way it should.
It smears and I allowed it to dry for over one hour. Please help.
Followed the instructions and applied two hours before my bridal shower and wedding festivities. As the event continued, i started to get darker stains on my white bridal clothes from it. It also came right off in the shower. Now the color and blend works well, but it does transfer and not as advertised.
Shimma stays. Until you say so.
