How-to: Conceal Tattoos for your Wedding Day


Step 1: Start by laying out all the products you will need. I am using an HD finishing powder (I am using Primed and Poreless by Too Faced), Clinique Matte Concealer, Laura Mercier Camoflage Brush Long, Clinique Natural Bristled Crease Brush and Powder Brush). For the concealer I wold also recommend using the Kat Von D Tattoo concealer (it is very water resistant and covers just about anything!)

Step 2: On clean skin, use your concealer brush to roll the concealer on to the area you wish to conceal.



Step 3: Use your powder brush to gently pat on the HD powder. Make sure not to press or sweep away at the concealer underneath. An HD powder is ideal for concealing a tattoo, instead of a tranditional powder, because it photographs better and will keep it from transfering on to your clothing. ***For large tattoos you may need to repeat steps 2 & 3 several times until it is completely covered.



Step 4: With your crease brush (which is actually an eye shadow brush), make small circles around the outer edges of the concealer to make your application seamless and to ensure you do not leave any lines.
