body make-up advice please

Hi ladies and gents,
I just wondered if any of you knew what the best body make -up is for pale skin.I have marks on my back and legs I would like to cover up in the day time. Also would the same be suitable for the evening? Also what is best for stage events.Not that I am performing anytime soon.Its just something I would like to know.

ive often wondered this too.

you can use some foundation or concealer on blemishes. but for an all over body makeup im not sure!

Hello! It might be worth seeing if your GP could refer you to a hospital with a camouflage cosmetics department. I did that because I have burns all the way down the back of my left arm, and the nurse was brilliant - they have hundreds of colours and can blend the exact shade for your skin and show you how to apply it. The stuff I was prescribed is called Derma Colour and you can even set it with powder to make it waterproof.  In the end I decided to stop hiding my arm and to make a feature of it instead with tattoos, but the make up was pretty good!  Very Happy

Derma Colour would cover bruises too! I'm sure I've heard MAC does a body make up, but I don't know how covering it is or what range of shades it's available in.

I love the way my arm looks now!  Very Happy

From what I've seen of your teeny tiny avatar you have very pretty tattoos, post some pics.
I love a good picture post.
