Taa daaaaa
When I had them in my hot little hands I decided finally to search reviews...I stuck with a few bloggers I respect the opinions of, and they shared a common view that this 'would never cover tattoos' but was a great heavy duty concealer for under eyes or bad pigmentation etc...well, I believe a picture paints 1000 words, so here's my best 2002 to answer those claims...
Before:
After:
I did this really quickly because I wanted to see if it worked, well it clearly does, I mean, you're not going to use this to cover up a full sleeve, but if you want to cover up that Chinese symbol meaning friendship that you and your 5 BFFs got on your shoulders during Schoolies week- for your wedding, yeah, this will do it, and if this was the case, you would take more time to blend and get a great coverage.
I love my tattoos, I made sure my mother understood in buying this concealer, she better not get false hope that I was regretting ANY of them. (she randomly sends me 'Scoupon' links to tattoo removal, just in case)
What about you, ever wanted to cover a tattoo? What did you use? MUAs do you cover tattoos, what do you use?
Sounds like a great product! I have a tattoo on my wrist that I've thought about covering for different things - Maybe this is the product I need to do it!
ReplyDeleteIts certainly a valid option, there are a few tat concelaers outt here, I'll let you know what I find.
DeleteI don't have any tattoos, but what a handy thing for anyone who has one to have! :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, for sure, I don't have tattoos on my back because I worry about how they would look out the top of fancy dresses, but maybe I don't need to worry any more!
DeleteI dont have any tattoos because I was always worried about how they would be seen in the workplace. I'll have to show my friend your blog as she got one on her wrist about the size of yours and she needs to cover it up for interviews. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI have one on each wrist, they are the more visible of all my tattoos, I've found that a wide band watch is a great way to cover one while a wide bangle does well on the other! I worked all of this our before I even got them!
DeleteI've heard that applying a matte red lipstick to the tattoo first and then whatever concealer your using helps get rid of the shadow because the lipstick neutralises the black in the tattoo or something haven't tried it myself though. I have a tattoo that I'm in the process of having lasered off but it is so expensive I'm looking at ways to cover it up in the meantime until it's come off completely. Dermablend works really well but still leaves that faint shadow unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteThe Kat Von D tattoo eraser, which you are supposed to use before hand is a pink based pencil. So that that may well hold some truth.
DeleteMaybe I should give it a try using a matte red pencil to the lines prior to concealing.
