How Do I Cover Tattoos with Makeup?

Tattoo cover is not a shade-matching problem. It is a coverage and adhesion problem. Ink sits below the skin and reflects through makeup unless the product forms a dense, flexible film that resists movement and transfer.

Successful tattoo cover relies on thin, controlled layers of high-pigment makeup that are allowed to set between applications. Heavy foundation, thick concealer, or aggressive powdering often causes cracking, greying, or rub-off.
