Reasons For Using Tattoo Cover Up Makeup

By Liliana Mills


Your wedding day is approaching fast and that Buddha that covers most of your upper arm is in sharp contrast to your lovely bridal gown. Beating yourself over the head now will do little to erase the decision you made when you were young and foolish. Your only option now is to use tattoo cover up makeup and hope that you can put your decision into hiding.

At present, there is just one method of permanent removal. It is known as laser removal; it's terribly expensive; and takes a number of visits to the plastic surgeon. Still, some of the design will remain on the skin. Tattoos are meant to last a lifetime and most of them will. Wishing away a past bad decision is nothing more than folly and you have a constant reminder of the choice you made.

Other than this one permanent and expensive method of removal, there are a number of makeups on the market that camouflage the ink. If no one can see them on that all important day, you will be satisfied with the results. Don't wait until the day of the nuptials and find the product you chose isn't working. Experiment well in advance.

The closer the match to your skin color, the better the result in hiding the tattoo. This is not a good time to spend in a tanning bed or on the beach. Some colors darken when dry and if a ready made match cannot be found, you will have to look into mixing different colors until you are have the desired effect.

Be sure the area you wish to hide is clean and all hair has been removed. Yes, if you even have peach fuzz over your tattoo, it has to be removed. Just another little reminder of how sorry you are that you got the thing in the first place.

A foundation brush is the best applicator for your prepped skin. Cover the entire tattoo and a bit beyond the edges of it. After brushing, use the tips of your fingers to blend the makeup paying close attention to the edges. These should be feathered to erase any line of demarcation between your skin and the cover up.

Repeat this process as many times as necessary to completely hide your tattoo. You will find that a number of thin coats will work much better than one thick coat. Again, we have a basic rule in the application of makeup being applied. Seldom is more than three coats needed but you will have to 'set' the product to be sure it doesn't rub off. Barrier sprays work very well as do setting powders.

If you have applied the tattoo cover up makeup the right way and followed all direction to a tee, you should be able to put on your wedding gown and look like the stunning bride you hoped you would be. If your attempts have been in vain, call on the expertise of a professional makeup artist. These services do not come without a hefty price tag but any amount paid is worth saving your wedding day.
