How would you cover scars in your face using just make-up?

The most important thing is getting the right color. If marks are blue you should use a yellow based tint, if red use green based. Make sure to get foundation that matches your skin. If you see a line at your jaw line, it doesn't match. Cover a colored scar by dabbing foundation on the area with a makeup sponge. Follow by applying a loose powder. Scars that have texture to them will still show, but will match the rest of your skin.How would you cover scars in your face using just make-up?

It may take a bit of skill but you can do it. Before I start I want to mention There is a make up that does this at high end cosmetic counters. But, if you want a tip from an experienced esthetics's techniques I will help you as much as I can w/o seeing the scar(s) in person.


Basically light colors will bring up the bottom surface of th scar.


Using a heavier type of concealer (any brand), before apply foundation. Match 2 shades of color the closest to your skin tone. There are no ethic boundaries. Any clear loose powder will be needed to dust the area your working on.


Darker colors will indent (make deeper).


So, use a thin brush and dab the inside part of the scar with the lighter color. Then wipe the brush off, and use a shade darker and dab this on the surrounding part of the scar. Then apply your regular foundation make up. Gently pat your foundation on, taking care not to rub the art work you just applied to the scar area.


Lastly dust the scar area with loose powder. It may seem light at first but let it rest a few minutes, apply your eye makeup or blush while waiting.


Viola. It's like magic.


The technique sounds time consuming but, it won't take that long after you get use to doing this.


You may have to play around with the concealer colors. Also, on the back of your hand you can mix the 2 colors with your brush to customize your perfect color.
Get Origins concealers
Mineral makeup works very well for this. My friend uses Bare Essentials to cover up a red birthmark.
use a good concealer first, then foundation over that http://www.marykay.com/s_azad/default.as鈥?/a>
get a cover makeup for scars and blimishes
Start with a daily routine, wash your face with a gentle facial cleanser, use an astringent, followed by a moisturizer. Use one with sunscreen since tanning a scare will only worsen it. Also use a moisturizer with vitamin E since it will promote healing. Then you will need cover-up stick, base/foundation and press powder in a color that is slightly darker then your natural shade. Dot the cover-up stick over the effected areas and lightly blend into the skin. I find a foundation brush very effective, but you can use a sponge or even you fingers. Then dot your face with the foundation blending over and around the area with the scar. Finish off by dusting a light covering of press power over the entire face and throat
Use a great concealer, maybe one that's one shade lighter than your skin tone (so that it off-sets the dark), and then apply your foundation.
get concealer that maches the color af your skin tone
