How to Cover Tattoos With Makeup

One of the essential products for covering Tattoos is a foundation with high coverage. We recommend the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation as it offers a long-lasting full range that leaves skin looking flawless. This foundation is waterproof and transfer-proof to suit most skin tones.

Full Coverage Foundation

Full-coverage foundations offer fuller pigmentation than tinted moisturizers, giving you a smooth, even complexion. Full-coverage foundations offer heavier pigmentation than tinted moisturizers and are available in matte and glowy finishes. When choosing one, preparing your skin correctly by regularly using serums, moisturizers, and exfoliation before applying makeup is essential.

Glo Skin Beauty’s oil-free, full-coverage product contains ingredients that hydrate and refine fine lines to provide full coverage with minimal effort and visible results. Ilia has also developed an innovative niacinamide product that keeps skin natural, healthy, and breathable for everyday wear. With 44 shades available, this is an excellent investment in skincare innovation!

Concealer

Concealers can help to cover up dark circles, age spots, and other imperfections by camouflaging pigments in the skin. Apply it before or after foundation application in specific areas that need additional coverage.

Contrary to the foundation, concealer should always be one shade lighter than your skin tone. If you have fair skin, opt for pink colors. For medium complexions, salmon shades work well. Olive or dark-toned complexions can benefit from orange/peach hues.

The ideal concealers are creamy, blendable, and pigmented enough to cover blemishes effectively. Look for concealers with anti-aging and nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E to maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin. Apply light concealer like you would highlighter for maximum illuminating effects, then set it with loose setting powder for long-term coverage.

Its Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer features highly pigmented full coverage in a smooth cream texture for anti-aging benefits.

Setting Spray

Finishing sprays are essential for keeping makeup in place. Choose one that best meets your needs, whether mattifying your complexion or adding dewiness for an all-over glowy finish.

Once you have applied foundation, color corrector, and concealer to cover up your tattoo, apply a light layer of body makeup like Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup to blend the cover-up with the rest of your skin tone. This helps create a seamless blend.

When choosing a body foundation, find one that complements your natural skin tone to avoid looking too stark against your tattoo. Lightly mist the area with translucent setting powder as a final step to help hold everything in place and prevent ink movement.

Loose Setting Powder

The loose-setting powder keeps your makeup looking its best all day and reduces the need for touch-ups. Choose an appropriate shade that complements your skin tone – translucent or colored powder options are available.

Formulated with beneficial skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe, this loose-setting powder helps hydrate dry areas and absorb oil. It also contains gemstones to blur pores and can even blur dark circles and counteract redness. This vegan face powder sets your look with a translucent matte finish, holding makeup in place effectively and providing moisture and sweat-proof formulation.
