How to hide tattoo with makeup: youtuber teaches step by step

You can fall in love with your tattoo (and what we want more is for you to be really proud), but, on certain occasions, you may want to disguise it.

Maybe you’ve got a job at a company that doesn’t accept tattoos, or maybe you’re about to meet the super conservative mother-in-law.

Also, you may be planning to tour places where tattoos are prohibited, such as some public places in Japan.

Whatever the reason, know that it is possible to disguise your tattoo with special makeup, and YouTuber Karen Bachini teaches the trick. Check out which items you will need and follow the step by step right below:

• An orange makeup product (concealer, lipstick or eyeshadow)
• Any high coverage foundation
• translucent powder
• foundation brush
• makeup sponge

The indication of the “orange product” may seem strange at first, but this is an excellent way to disguise tattoos that are ink in strong colors, mainly blue and green.

In the following video, youtuber Karen Bachini indicates that if you don’t have any orange product, you can even use red lipstick – she even demonstrates covering half of the tattoo with a lipstick in that color and the other half with concealer. orange. It’s a little harder to hide red lipstick with foundation, but it works too.

The only important point when choosing a lipstick (whether it’s red or orange) is that you should opt for a drier version, otherwise your disguise could end up staining your clothes.

Regarding the high coverage foundation, Karen explains that you can use a product from any brand (Dermacol, Mary Kay, Mac, Vult, Dermablend) and that this type of foundation is easily found in pharmacies and cosmetics stores.

Step by step to hide the tattoo

The trick to disguising the tattoo is simple, but you need to have a little patience to repeat the steps until you hide all the marks. Check out the tutorial:

1. Always start with clean skin, ready to receive makeup;

2. Apply the orange product of your choice. In the video, the youtuber covers half of the tattoo with red lipstick;

3. If you prefer, you can use an orange concealer, as demonstrated by Karen on the other half of the tattoo;

4. With the help of a sponge, apply translucent powder over the lipstick or concealer until it is very dry;

5. Now, with the help of an appropriate brush, cover the tattoo with the high-coverage foundation, always tapping;

6. It is important to go a little beyond the limits of the tattoo to be able to blend it with the skin afterwards;

7. Use a makeup sponge to smudge the edges;

8. Wait a few minutes for the foundation to dry and apply more translucent powder to seal the makeup;

9. Apply one more layer of high coverage foundation with the brush to disguise all the details of the tattoo;

10. Use the sponge to smudge the edges again;

11. Apply a new layer of compact powder;

12. Apply makeup spray over the cover to waterproof your cover. If you don’t have this product, you can use hairspray too;

13. Ready! Tattoo properly covered with makeup that won’t stain your clothes.

It is worth remembering that, although hairspray can be used on the arm or leg, we should not use this product to waterproof makeup on the face, as the skin in this region is very sensitive.

If your tattoo is small and with only fine lines, without strong colors, it is possible to cover it only with foundation and powder, without the use of orange product or red lipstick. Likewise, larger tattoos may need more layers to cover well. The more you practice, the more natural your disguise will look.
