Comments (25) to “Tattoo Camouflage and Cover Up Tutorial”
Thanks for this video, I’m an actor with a rather large tattoo on my arm, i keep getting told I’m an idiot for getting one. I kept saying make up can always be used to hide it and this video will help me completely hide it while onstage. I’m planning on getting more and now i have no fear of it hurting my career!
Thanks for your comment! I’m getting married soon, and I have a tattoo on my wrist as well; it’s going to be a rock and roll wedding, so luckily I don’t have to use this technique, but it would work great for a special day like that! Also, don’t underestimate the power of a nice bracelet…; )
I do not think the hair spray will hold up under a jacuzzi’s heat and chemicals. You should look into setting sprays from professional makeup companies like Kryolan, Ben Nye, and Cinema Secrets instead- they are made to hold up under heavy conditions.
I make my own cosmetics by blending micas and pure pigment powders into a base of my choice (for this formula, I used a wax base to get it very thick). You should try layering the MUF over the Dermablend for a closer color match, or buying one darker shade and blending it with one lighter shade until it’s perfect.
Absolutely- in fact, it’s much easier to cover up colored inks than it is to cover straight black. Though certain Dermablend formulas are formulated to be waterproof, you can try adding Kryolan Dermacolor Fixing Spray or Benefit’s Shelaq (for smaller areas) for extra resistance.
hi, I’m just wondering if camouflage make-up like that could cover up coloured inks as well? and how to make it waterproof? in case you know, please do share. thank you so much! :]
how did you make your own concealer? i tried dermalend, but i couldn’t find a close match to my skin color. make up forever’s full coverage came closer, but it’s in liquid form and i can still see some color peeking through. i feel like if it’s thicker i can get better coverage.
if i do that and spray with hair spray or setting spray then go swimming or sit in a jacuzzi will the makeup come off? or does it take scrubbing to come off, cuz i don’t want my inlaws to see my tattoo..thanks!
wow it looks really good, like theres no tattoo! im getting a tattoo this summer (when i start earning money haha) and my mum always says to me “what about your wedding day? what about when you’re wearing a dress?” (im getting a tattoo on the wrist) i guess ill just do this!! i was going to buy makeup to cover scars but this seems much cheaper n easier, thanks xx
I love it-I show it off constantly, but there are certain situations (particularly in performance art and modeling, as others have pointed out) where it is just not acceptable.
The powder was Bare Minerals. The high mica content gives a good “skin-like” sheen, instead of dry powdery look. The thick concealer is something I mixed myself as a tattoo cover (since I do this so often) but I would recommend Dermablend or Cinema Secrets to those who are buying!
No problem! I’ve done pageants with my tattoos covered as well, it definitely has an effect on how you’re judged! As Uta said above, princesses don’t have tattoos. lol. If you need any help, let me know! Be glad to answer any questions
I agree with you on this 100 percent. I have just recently gotten my frist tattoo and i love it, and am actually going in to get another in a couple of days but i had been wondering how i would cover the second one up if need be.
Good luck in your pageant!
In my case; it’s a simple choice between having a tattoo or having a job where you can’t have one. But I can understand that that isn’t the case for all, and that everyone else isn’t me (I hope I make sense ^_^ When I wrote that comment, it was just how I feel about tattoos.
There are circumstances where having a tattoo is “innapropriate” I love my tattoos, but want to be a dancer…..(Ballet)……I’m told princesses don’t have tattoos lol.
Thank you!!! I’m in a pageant in month and a half and I had no idea how I was going to pull it off with my tattoos. I love my tattoos and I AM proud of them, but for some occasions they are not appropriate or beneficial. And for anyone who says, “maybe you shouldn’t have gotten a tattoo in the first place!!” : Bite me. I like my breasts too, but in some cases they are better covered. (ie: church, grandma’s house, job interviews) Each of us hide certain aspects of ourself when we need to.
