Need to cover a tattoo for a big job interview of first\ndate? We\u2019ve got some tips to help you hide the evidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They\u2019ve got plenty of coverage (compared to a typical\nfoundation you\u2019ll find in the makeup section) and come in a variety of skin\ntones so you can get a near-perfect match. They\u2019re a bit pricey, but worth it\nif it can land you your dream job (or dream woman).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have sensitive skin, look for one that\u2019s\nhypoallergenic. Also, be sure to read the description to see how soon you\u2019ll\nneed to reapply it. Some last for up to 16 hours. A few of the top brands also\nclaim to be waterproof, which is great if you plan to go to the beach on your date,\nswim in a pool or just sweat a lot at your interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you can find it in your skin tone, use the white makeup\nto cover the tattoo and then apply regular foundation on top of that to match\nyour coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you can\u2019t find tattoo-cover makeup or stage makeup, or\nyou can\u2019t get it delivered on time, your last resort can be regular makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start by washing your skin thoroughly in order to best\nprepare it to receive the makeup. Then apply a concealer that several shades\nlighter than your skin color or use a color-correcting concealer (some are even\ngreen). Don\u2019t rub the concealer; blot it with a makeup sponge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next, apply a foundation that matches your skin tone with a\nmakeup sponge (or spray if you can find a spray foundation). Again, blot the\nfoundation, don\u2019t rub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using a large brush, apply a translucent powder over the\nfoundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, spritz the area with a setting spray to keep the\nmakeup from rubbing off on your clothes. Ensure the area is dry before you\ntouch it or get dressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Full disclosure: Your tattoo needs to be fully healed before\nyou apply makeup. If you try to cover a fresh tattoo, you could ruin the ink or\nworse\u2014develop an infection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
