I have been receiving A Lot of Facebook messages asking me to go back and go into more detail on my tattoo cover-up routine. So I thought I would re-cover that subject right now, seeing as some of you are less than a week away from Disney.
First off, I am by no means a makeup artist, and I really have no idea what I am talking about most of the time. But this is my routine and it seems to work for me, considering I love makeup and am fairly good at it I have a lot of patience....if you don't I do not recommend this.
The products I used can all be purchased at Walmart. Or I am guessing any drug store, I know one brand is specifically Walmart and I will note that below.
Okay, so lets just jump right in.
First I take Hard Candy Primer(Found at Walmart only) and apply that lightly over my tattoos to even out my skin and create a nice base.
I then take a layer of Hard Candy GLAMoflauge(Found at Walmart only) ... This is where the process gets slightly annoying and time consuming. You just keep layering this brand of concealer until you get your desired coverage amount. NOTE: This concealer is VERY thick, a little will go a long way...if you apply to much you will be sitting there waiting for quite some time hoping it will dry.
Once you have received the amount of coverage you want, and it is completely dry you then apply either a loose powder foundation in your skin tone, or a shade lighter(if the concealer is still wet it will darken and look like a bruise if the foundation is too dark) OR a translucent setting powder, these can be found at any drug store or Walmart. Once you do that I would apply a setting spray, if you don't have a setting regular hairspray will work just fine. This will ensure that the concealer will have a fighting chance of staying in place.
Now I live in a very cool area of New York, we are still in a wet rainy time, so other than wearing this to work a couple of times I have NOT tested how sweat proof this is. So try it and see if it works for you, It will save you soo much money in the long run if it does. I will post a picture probably right below this to show the results I got on my arm.
Like I said, if your powder foundation is too dark and you apply it to a not-completely dry
concealer it will turn bruise like, there is some evidence of that by my wrist. I couldn't wait any longer I was heading out too work!
If you guys want to see anything else, let me know. I have two other tattoos I could do a test on to show you. But it's pretty simple. It works just as good at the Kat Von D lock it long wear.
If you guys have any questions feel free to comment below, or contact me via facebook or twttier.
Have a Magical Night guys!
See you real soon!
