Reasons For Using Tattoo Cover Up Makeup

By Liliana Mills


Who would have thought that a foolish decision made so long ago would still have dire effects so many years later, but that is the case. The choice you made during your rebellious days is coming back to haunt you. You're getting married and that ugly tattoo looks terrible with your dress. Let's hope the tattoo cover up makeup works.

The only way to permanently get rid of ink that has been placed in the skin is by laser treatments. They are very expensive and seldom is one treatment enough. The darker the colors used the harder it is to remove the design. Even when laser is used there is no guarantee that the entire markings can be erased. You still may have to rely on other means to cover the design that you once felt was so fantastic.

You are not the only one to regret having a tattoo. Because of this, some less costly methods have been introduced and used by many. Special body makeups have been formulated specifically for this reason. Results are satisfying but take practice so begin long before the your wedding day arrives. In this case, practice will definitely make perfect.

The first thing you need to do is match your skin color as closely as possible. If you don't, your attempt at hiding the design will look as bad as the design itself. There are many shades available but it may require mixing some to get the color you need. Always allow enough drying time to see if the product changes color going from wet to dry.

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.

When first applying the makeup make use of a good foundation brush. If the skin has been prepped properly it should apply without difficulty. The cover up should go past the edges of the design. Once this step is applied, using fingertips, blend the makeup throughout the area paying close attention to feathering and blending the very edges.

It will take two applications to hide the design and where dark ink was used a third application may be necessary. Trying to shorten the amount of work by slathering on a thick coat will look as undesirable as the tattoo itself so don't waste your time. Drying time is vital and no new coat should be applied before the other is dried completely.

If your tattoo cover up makeup was applied properly there will be no ugly ink design. If all else has failed you, hire a professional to do the work. It may cost a bit more but being the stunning bride you want to be on this greatest of days is worth the cost.
