How to Hide a Tattoo With Makeup?

A tattoo, in principle, is for life. But it can happen that he needs to be camouflaged. Makeup can come to the rescue in an impressive way. Just choose the right makeup product, the right shade, and have the right gestures.

Why hide a tattoo?

Sometimes tattoos on the skin are not suitable for certain situations.

For example, some jobs do not tolerate visible tattoos, especially in reception and luxury places. One can then find a parade to get this type of work without removing the laser tattoos. A solution to camouflage them is needed.

In other cases, the need to hide a tattoo is related to a particular day, including marriage.

The whole family will be there, uncles, aunts, grandparents ... and a tattoo may not please some people, even if they are from our family.

So not to scandalize the best day of his life, just hide your tattoo.

Sometimes the risk is not even that the guests disapprove of the tattoo, but themselves. A tattoo is very young, sometimes does not have the same meaning or, ultimately, does not prove so aesthetic. One may want to hide it for these reasons and be the most beautiful on his wish day and not have a tattoo that one finds oneself unsightly.  

How to hide a tattoo?

The first idea to hide a tattoo is to apply a good layer of foundation, on the pattern, in the shade of the epidermis.

If it is well covering, indeed, the tattoo can disappear without worry. Still, a problem and not least: a classic makeup, intended to apply on the face for a few hours, will not resist the friction of clothing, hair, a hand on the shoulder or to the rain. In a few minutes, the tattoo reappears, and the clothes can be dirty by makeup.

It is still possible to use his usual makeup, but not alone!

After applying the foundation or the covering cream on the tattoo, make sure that the makeup does not move. For this, it is possible to apply makeup fixers, often used by professional makeup artists.

Fortunately, there is wholesale makeup specifically designed to withstand all these challenges.

In pharmacy, the concealer sticks Haute Couvrance Dermablend Vichy has been developed to hide skin problems and redness in a sustainable way. It can be used to remove a tattoo for a day. This stick, resistant to water and without risk of allergy for sensitive skin, exists in 5 colors to be able to adapt to different skin tones. Be careful though: very light skin may not find their ideal shade.

Recently arrived in France, the Younique brand and its perfective foundation Mineral Touch are already emulated. It is available in 3 textures: liquid, cream, and powder.

The cream version is best suited to camouflage tattoos because its coverage is very effective. The wholesale makeup product is applied first with the fingers and then stretches with a make-up brush. Thus, the texture will be melted in the skin, properly smoothed and give a natural result.

Finally, there are also the brands Tattoo Camo and Covermark, specialized in the camouflage of tattoos.

Both brands offer complete kits. The Tatto Camo kit contains a covering cream, a brush, and a cleaner, while the Covermark kit contains a base, a liquid foundation, a matte powder, and an applicator.
