3. How to Hide Those Scars?

-

These easy-to-do secrets will help you cover up those less-than-pretty marks and scars that have been making you shy away from wearing your favourite mini.

Cover up that blemish: Make sure you prep your skin with a daily oil-free moisturise­r. Then use an oil-free concealer that is exactly the same shade as your skin. Fan out the edges of the concealer with a brush to make it blend seamlessly.

What scars? The first thing you should know is that you shouldn’t, under any circumstan­ces, attempt to cover scars with a light concealer. If you do so you will only draw more attention to the area. Scar tissue has a shiny appearance and the key to concealing a scar is to eliminate or reduce the shine. The most successful method of scar masking is to conceal the area with a good foundation.

Bruises Be Gone! An easy escape is water-proof leg make-up. Convenient­ly applied in a spray, air stockings do an incredible job of masking skin irregulari­ties.
