Scar coverage

7 replies

TheClitterati · 16/10/2018 11:45

I don't wear very much make up these days more than a bit of lippy, unless it's a special occasion.

But I have a scar on the bridge of my nose (where I had a skin cancer removed) and it kind of bothers me. Some days it can be quite red and visible. It's fairly small - about 8mm - but as it is snap bang in middle of my face it is very visible - well at least to me. I wear glasses and the scar is just below where my glasses sit.

Are there any concealer type produces I could dab on to minimise the scar without having to do a full face of concealer, foundation etc?

I'd appreciate any advice from the S&B vipers.

I'm no expert, nor have I ever used it but I think this is pretty much what Vichy Dermablend was made for.

I think my friend used to wear Estee
Lauder doublewear to cover her scar and swore by it x

I was about to suggest Estée Lauder double wear, it’s fantastic and lasts ages.

Lovely thank for the tips. I'll take a look at these this weekend.

So I had a look at Double Wear and it seems like it is a very thick coverall foundation. I wouldn't wear that at all. At best I'm a tinted moisturiser/very light cover wearer.

I'm more looking for something to specifically cover the scar, perhaps under tinted moisturiser, or with no other cover at all.

I haven't had a chance to look at Dermablend yet.

I use Vichy dermabkend to cover my acne scars/red marks and the red patch of rosacea on my cheek. I use it like a concealer so squeeze a bit onto the back of my hand then dab a tiny tiny bit on each red scar then use a makeup brush or just my finger to kind of dab it into the skin. It’s very good and you only need the tiniest amount
