This is just a thread I thought I'd make for people to exchange ideas/thoughts on using cosmetics to cover up scars.
Be they surgery scars, old 'wounds' etc.
So, what are your tips?
Personally I use the same method I use to apply makeup to my face, foundation, concealer and powder.
First I use the foundation and blend like crazy as the skin on my arms is so much lighter than my face... but once blended the foundation looks good. Then I use concealer on a small brush and apply it directly to the scars to fade them out and match the colour to the colour of my skin as much as possible.
Finally I apply the powder to keep the foundation & concealer lasting longer...
anyone use any different methods?
