TIPS FOR CAMOUFLAGING SKIN IMPERFECTIONS
Continued from last week...
Women with significant skin imperfections: port wine stains,
scars, pigmentation irregularities, and rough skin frequently ask
the experts at NeoStrata, makers of the CoverBlend line of
corrective cosmetics, how to best camouflage those imperfections
to achieve more natural-looking skin.
The CoverBlend team prepared the following tips for specific
camouflaging challenges to help women achieve the most natural
looking effect possible and gain confidence and self-esteem in the
process.
4. Marks under the eyebrow and/or into the hairline
Solution: Most often people will try to avoid these areas, and
where they may be camouflaged everywhere else, it still shows
through under an eyebrow or on the scalp. Its best to dab
and pat the concealer through the hair until you achieve the
proper coverage. Then, with a small moustache comb or
toothbrush, gently stroke the makeup out of the hair. When
needed, go back with an eyebrow pencil or mascara and recolor the
hair.
To be continued next week. Stay tuned for more tips to
camouflage imperfections...
