How to Cover a Tattoo

Like or not, there are times when a tattoo is just not appropriate for some occasions.
A wedding, job interview or formal event are just a few times you may need to disguise your tattoo. The following instructions will show you how to use makeup to cover your tattoo.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• I like to use a makeup designed specifically for extreme coverage. My preference is the ColorTration Tattoo Cover Kit.
• This contains 9 shades of makeup, applicators, sealing spray, mixing vial, blotting pads and remover.

1. 
    
   Makeup application

   Find the color or mix of colors that match your skin tone. Test shades by brushing a little makeup on where your tattoo meets your skin and feather outwards a little past your tattoo. When the color matches your good to go.

2. Apply a thin layer of makeup and allow to dry. Use the blotters in the kit and blot the area after waiting about 5 minutes. The blotter pad should be clean. If any of the tattoo is still showing, repeat step 2.

3. Once your tattoo is covered and dry, use the Barrier Spray that comes with the kit. Hold the Barrier Spray about ten inches away and apply a light misting over the tattoo. Allow to dry and not only is your tattoo covered but it is sealed. No worries about makeup getting on clothing, etc.
