Hi everyone

 

I fell down a flight of stairs in mid August and broke my shulder. As a result, I needed surgery and now have a huge (about 6") scar on my upper arm and shoulder. I was planning on wearing a tank top style dress so the scar will show. Did anyone or does anyone have anything they used to cover a scar or tattoos that worked? If so, can you pass on the name of the item.

 

I really do not want this scar to show.

Thanks so much

Shannon

I have a similar issue... I have a 3rd degree burn on my chest and my dress is strapless. The best I have found so far is Dermablend (the cover cream vs. leg and body magic is better for scars). It doesn't smudge as easily as some of the other concealing makeups do. I have also tried Covermark, but could not find a good color match for my skin.

 

To get the best smudge resistance, you have to apply the setting power and let it set for a few minutes before brushing it. I also apply a barrier spray (after the setting powder) made by ColorTration. This helps set the makeup even further. I would recommend you try the makeup before your wedding day to make sure you get the application right. I also tested the makeup a few times and wore a white shirt to make sure I didn't get a lot of smudging.

 

I've seen several threads on this forum about tatoo cover-ups. Try searching this forum using the word "tattoo" and you should be able to get to those threads. Hope this helps!

Great advice Natasha i will have to try that! I had a horrible bicycle accident the day before labor day and terribly hurt my face. I went to the make up counter at Nordy's and use smash box primer and laura mercier foundation and it works pretty good.

 

but my point is any good photographer should be able to photoshop it out of photos with a few clicks, and if you get a pic you love and the scar is bothering you just ask your photog to work on it and the should happily help you!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
