Advice for concealer/coverup please!

I honestly know nothing about makeup, but I would be paranoid that the makeup would get on my dress

Look into ELF products. They're very affordable and come in multiple shades. I use their concealers for under eye and they work wonders!

View Quoted Comment That's one of my worries! My dress is royal blue and I'm scared it'll rub off on it, but then again I'm worried the ugly bruise will show up in my friends wedding pics

What if you tried make up but used a really good setting spray, so it’s less likely to smear?

View Quoted Comment That's an idea, any brand you know of?

I personally use Cover FX for my face and it keeps my make-up in place really well. I’ve heard that the Disney Princess cast members use Ben Nye setting spray for their make-up, so while I haven’t tried that brand personally, I would assume it’s pretty good.

There are bruise creams you can buy at a drug store that could help too. I've heard of Arnica being a good one.

Check out dermablend. A little pricey but they have a foundation stick for your body and you just have to set it with the setting powder and it should be smudge and transfer resistant.

Spray it with hairspray after you conceal it! It locks the concealer in pretty good (I tried this and it worked, but i never got hot and sweaty so im not sure if it would hold up thought dancing and thangs)

I would try a buildup lotion tanner. It won't totally cover it like makeup would but you won't have to worry about it rubbing off on your dress and it'll mean there will be less of a contrast between the bruise color and your arm.

How about a spray tan to not cover but try and hide it a little.

It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye! Then just top it with a setting powder to keep it from transferring onto your dress.

That's probably the kind of thing that the photographer can airbrush out in the editing process, if it shows in the photos.

But honestly, unless you take a photo with your arm in that position (above), it seems like it's far back enough that it won't show.

At Wal-Mart they sell a waterproof tattoo cover up make up. Won't rub off. I've used it on my dad's head to cover a really nasty tat.

I'm not sure about specific brands but you might want to look into makeup for covering tattoos. That's sure to give you the coverage you need.

I was looking into getting make-up for my wedding and I seen the Bye Bye products and I was curious. Do you use these products?

View Quoted Comment I have the concealer and I absolutely love it! It covers very well and it’s hydrating. I haven’t tried anything else from the Bye Bye line. The original CC cream is amazing though!

I was super interested in getting it but I had never heard of it. It looks like there were good reviews and the before and after pics looked good but I never know if I can actually trust them. Thank you!!
