i was wondering if anyone can suggest a good brand of make up/ stage paint/ home remedies/ whatever that will cover scars. Some are worse than others and I'd rather not show them off. I usually stay covered head to toe, but I'm trying not to be so self concious. I know that the make up is a bit vain, but it may be helpful. look forward to hearing what all you can suggest!
For what part of the body?
Mac, Bare Essentials and Smashbox is what me and the wife use for personal and special FX.
burn on the hand, leg, and chest (the ones on the chest aren't that bad, but they bother me the most.)Quote:

Not at all related to this thread but..VoldtaEngler check your private messages dangit! XP
Joe Blasco. I think that's the name, it's been awhile since I did "Fright Fest", but if I remember correctly that's the name JPM productions swears by. Excellent if you know how to apply makeup correctly, and long lasting. They sell regular makeup online, however I'm not sure I've seen the stage make up for sale. You may need to shoot them an email
I checked, and it's joeblasco.com. worth checking out! oo...after checking out the website a little more, the minimum order is $75. That's steep.
it depends on how bad the scarring is, if its deep then makeup wont do much and youll need to cover the scar with liquid latex before you apply makeup, then Mac and Bare Essentials both work great..
Physicians Formula. Great stuff.
You can buy it just about anywhere.

I have some stuff that I use to fill them in, but it looks really discolored and am looking for stuff that will go on and stay put.
for make up, yeah it's expensive, but it's cheaper than skin grafts and other plastic surgery.Quote:

I'm looking forward to the wrinkles and grey hair, funny enough. Learning to be comfortable in your own skin is an amazing feeling, but it is made hard when you have small children and some adults gawking at you. Wearing a tank top to the zoo, I had one little girl come up to me ask what happened to me. She was about four and kids are curious little devils. She asked with no malice and was very sympathetic, but it was her mom's reaction that just bothered me. Some people are just giant boogers. I'm getting to the point where I don't cover them all the time (i have to be careful though because too much sunlight will make them worse apparently). Fucking with people that do ask is fun. maybe that's just me.....
Thanks for the name of the company. Do you have a link for them?
