Maybe something sprayable that won't damage my overly expensive dress. The marks are on my neck, my hair will cover it from the back. I'm about the same shade as Sanaa Lathan or Lil' Kim if that helps. Thanks!I need a good concealer/cover up to cover my allergic reaction before prom. What should I use?
First - have you gone to the doctor to see what they can do about it? They might be able to give you a cream that will help alleviate the spots. Or you could try over the counter hydrocortisone cream.
To cover up any marks you have, you'll need to get a thick concealer - the best ones I've found are in little pots, but the kind that come in lipstick-like tubes are good, too. Overly liquid concealers, like those that you apply with a wand or twist-up sponge applicator, won't be heavy enough to cover anything serious. You'll also need a concealer brush - a small brush with synthetic bristles - to apply the concealer, as it makes that application much more precise and will help you get better coverage. Sonia Kashuk, a brand found at Target, makes a great concealer brush.
Before you apply any makeup, prep the area first with a little moisturizer. This will help even out the texture of your skin and allow the product to go on more smoothly. Put a small amount of concealer on the brush and tap it gently onto the area you are trying to cover. Always start with a small amount and build your way to the desired coverage, and remember to tap the product in. Rubbing just smears it around and takes it off, although rubbing around the edges of the spots is okay, as it will help blend in the makeup. Once you have covered your problem areas, set the concealer in place with a few pats of powder.
Also, as another reviewer said, www.makeupalley.com is a great place to check. You can do a product search for concealers and see how people who have tried them, rate them. It will help you choose the right one for you without having to waste a lot of money trying them yourself. And the boards have tons of ladies who can share their tips and tricks with you; they may even know how to help clear up your reaction in time for prom!
I hope everything works out well and you have a great time at your dance!I need a good concealer/cover up to cover my allergic reaction before prom. What should I use?
Try dermablend. It comes in all skin tones and does not rub off if you set it with the special powder that comes with it. It is also pretty inexpensive. Check it out on the Internet and buy it at a local beauty supply store. Call before you go to make sure they carry it.
Permanent makeup is highly convenient for most people. You can get up in the morning and save yourself the time and trouble of applying makeup to some portions of your face. It's a great choice for athletes as perspiration doesn鈥檛 affect tattooed makeup. You'll also note that this type of makeup is not only for the face. Those with scars or discoloration on other areas of their body can also go for permanent makeup. Color displaced during surgery like pigment of the areola, can be tattooed once mastectomy is done.
well i would just put some of that liquid waterproof cover-up on.
I would use a Mary Kay Concealer; it's not too heavy. After you apply your Concealer use a mineral foundation. Bare minerals works very well when applied the right way. You have to make sure you tap your brush after dipping it into the cap to remove the excess foundation.
P.S. Make sure you moisturize very well before applying your make-up! That makes all the difference for a smooth and cake-free application!
Good Luck!
