to put make up on my son!!

[Bunch]

I'm talking about a small amount of concealer on his face as he has a spot. It's his first school photo!

[Tortington]

dont be rediculous

i have never heard such shit in all my life

[lemonlady]

Go for it, I was thinking you meant full face, lips and eyes.

[Bunch]

Well I did wonder about mascara cos he has very pale eyelashes.

[moyasmum]

Just walk away now!

[suwoo]

I would but I'm a twat.

[mishymoo]

[ledodgy]

No. Stick a bit of sudocrem on it instead it will fade it's appearence and clear it up.

[VinegarTits]

Yes your being ridiculus, its only a spot, god you must be vein to be bothered by it

[Bunch]

Ok! Calm down everyone! Doesn't everyone get aggressive!! I was only joking about the mascara but I have already use sudocrem on the spot.

[Aitch]

lol. i might, you know. but only a very good quality concealer.

[FabioVicePeeperPlopper]

lol

don't bother about concealer, just get it photoshopped on

[DaphneMoon]

I would do it. If it is first photo, it will be around for a long time. I had a photo taken at school at about 14yo with a great big bloody spot on my chin. Whenever I look at it I look straight at the spot, it's awful. On my 40th birthday my DP had this photo put on a cake, we had a row, of all the bloody photo's why that one!

[onager]

Don't some school photographers photoshop them anyway to make them look their best? I'm sure I remember someone posting here about that. You might want to mention it to the photographer if you will be there.
Taking out a spot is easy. I replaced a missing tooth once on a school photo.

[TwoMore]

Why not, wont hurt him

[ComeOVeneer]

Erm, not sure on this one. However as a child I had my photo taken for a local newspaper, next to a very glamourous Sharon Davies all hair and makeup in a high cut swimsuit. Me in school reg speedo suit with yellow swimming hat and a mahoosive coldsore. It haunts me to this day

[mehgalegs]

Our school photographers offer a touch up service. When you get the proof you can mark any imperfections and they will remove them.

[GordonTheGopher]

Yes I would - only because it's for a photo. Just make sure his friends don't find out. How old is he?

[Buda]

They photoshop all the spots out at our school! I know because DS had a bruise on his forehead and a semi-black eye when his photos were done a few years ago and when I brought in the order form I was joking with the school secretary about it and she suggested getting it airbrushed out! So we did. But I still have the 'proof' of what he really looked like that day!

[Bunch]

He's only 4. We've just got back from having it done. I did dab concealer on which took the shin off nicely but I have to say the red lipstick looked great!

[Buda]

Red lipstick!

Surely pink?? For his feminine side?

[more]

Hope the lippie matched the nailpolish

[alicet]

We had some professional pics done recently and ds2 (who is nearly 1, crawling and cruising, and desperate to walk so constantly falling over and bruising himself) had 2 big bruises on his forehead! Have to say I was tempted but didn't in the end.

YANBU though

[ImnotMamaGbutsheLovesMe]

My son had a mark on his polo top sleeve in his school photo. The photographer wanted £40 to remove it.

[cheesesarnie]

next step is to cover him in fake tan like dawn from eastenders.i wouldnt want to start going down that road.

persionaly i wouldnt.its only a spot-hes 4.i'll bet he looks cute with or without(just guessing but most 4 year old boys are cute)

[MsPontipine]

My ds has got school photographer coming soon and he's got a little spot near his eye that won't heal as he keeps picking it. I told him to leave it alone or I would have to put make up on it!

In some ways maybe a photo should not be touched up etc as it is a snapshot of that exact moment in time that it is taken and that is to treasure but it is typical that just when the photographer's due out come the spots scabs and cold sores when at any other time of year they skin is so sickeningly damn perfect!!!!
