Cosmetic Cover-ups
Q: Several years ago I got a small tattoo on my upper back. I plan to wear a strapless wedding gown and don’t want the tattoo to show. What is the best way to cover it? — Anonymous
A: A product named Dermablend is the most effective way to cover tattoos, scars or birthmarks, according to makeup expert Debi Johnson at Preston’s Salon and Spa in Sherwood. The thick matte foundation can be purchased to match your skin tone and is available at major department stores including Dillard’s. To avoid staining your dress, you should also pat the area with Dermablend setting powder. Cost is about $28 for 1 ounce of the cream and $19 for the powder.
