you dont need all that makeup but if u wuld feel better with sumthin on…try using the powder only and do up your eyes really pretty. that will take thier attention off your skin.

well in my experience with covering scars the all natural powder foundation ones work best they stay on all day and are healthier for your skin. So it helps your skin be more healthy which helps scars fade and recover

First off, you should never put on make-up after coming out of the sun. That’s a big no no. Scars or no scars you should leave them alone, which is hard, I can imagine. So, what you need to do is first moisturize your face. You should do this every morning and every night before going to bed. After you put on moisturize,squeeze a small drop of concealer on your finger and gently blend (not rub) it on to the scar area. Do this for all your blemishes that you wish to hide. Keep the concealer with you through out the evening to touch up places that need it. And that’s it!
Here’s a secret, wear nice clothes or fix your hear pretty and guys won’t notice your small scars.

Your welcome. If you don’t moisturize after coming out of the sun, all your makeup will look caked.

You really shouldn’t use make up in the sun honey that will just irritate your skin, a have you heard of minerals make up? Rimmel do it so do Borjouis and L’oreal, not sure about revlon, but it is a light powder that gives coverage and lets your skin breath at the same time, I love it, it looks light and fresh and covers my acne scars, my bf has even commented that my skin looks a lot nicer and fresher since I started using it, I use Urban Decay and its £12 but fabulous, you still would be better not to wear it in the sun tho

Use a light fake tan on your face, once it’s soaked in it won’t go blotchy & will stay on all day, you can use a light dusting of powder foundation over the top if you want.
Also, scar’s look less noticable when fake tan is applied, scar tissue will not tan so once the rest of you does it will look more obvious.
Find a fake tan that provides uva / uvb sunblock.

You should see a dermatologist for the scars, he might have some ideas on how to remove them for good and i really suggest that you don’t use powder or foundation in heat, it irritates your skin . It’s like.. 45 degrees out here, i know what i’m talking about xD

Well I don’t wear make up after coming out of the sun, and I do put lotion on before I go to bed when I’ve been out in the sun all day and I’m out in the sun a LOT… Oh and I have nice clothes and pretty hair, so hell yeah! :)
