How does concealer cover tattoos

Jan 13,2025

The steps of concealer are as follows:

Preparation stage: before using concealer, clean the tattooed skin with facial cleanser to ensure that there is no grease and dirt. At the same time, choose a concealer that is slightly lighter than the skin color or close to the skin color, and prepare makeup tools such as cotton pad, concealer brush, beauty egg, foundation make-up, powder, etc. If the color of concealer is inappropriate, you can fine tune the color by mixing concealer with different color numbers.

Concealer stage: use a concealer brush dipped with concealer paste and spread it evenly on the tattoo to ensure that the color of the tattoo is completely covered. The first layer should be used as a base cover, and after 3-5 minutes of drying, the second layer should be added to strengthen the cover. The transition of the edges is very important, and there should be no obvious boundaries with the surrounding area. When the paste is not dry, it should spread out to the edges, and the thinner the edges, the more natural the color connection will be. You can also use a hair dryer to speed up the drying process. Then use a cotton pad to gently pat the concealer on the tattoo more evenly.

Make up stage: use spray type foundation make-up to evenly spray about 15cm from the tattoo, or use liquid foundation make-up, foundation cream, etc., use a cotton pad or small brush to evenly spread, and pay attention to the combination with the skin at the edge. To make the skin look more natural, you can apply some soft gloss powder to add a matte effect to the previous coating. Use a loose powder brush to gently sweep away the remaining powder, and spray some makeup setting liquid or hair gel to set makeup, so as to prevent concealer from being rubbed off by clothes or other contacts.

The effect of concealer may vary from person to person. If the tattoo color is darker or the area is larger, more concealer may be needed to achieve satisfactory results.
