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.

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.
