Covering facial scars with makeup
Angelee du Toit, a professional makeup artist and cosmetic tattoo artist specialising in permanent makeup, wedding makeup, and beauty transformations, explained the process of covering facial scars with makeup.
She told Briefly News the process differs from applying makeup to someone without scars in a few key ways:
Skin preparation
"Proper skin prep is crucial. A hydrating primer or smoothing base is often used to create an even surface for makeup application, especially for scarred or textured areas."
Colour correcting
"Scars, especially burn marks, may have discolouration (redness, purple, or brown). A colour corrector is applied first—typically green for red scars, peach/orange for dark scars, and yellow for purple-toned scars."
Layering products
"It's important to layer products carefully, starting with a full-coverage concealer and then a foundation. The makeup artist will likely use a stippling or tapping technique to avoid disturbing the product underneath."
Setting the makeup
"A translucent setting powder and setting spray is often used to lock the makeup in place, ensuring long-lasting coverage and reducing shine that may highlight scars."
Customising for the client
"The texture and sensitivity of the scar will guide the makeup application. For raised scars, a smoothing or blurring primer may be needed, whereas for depressed scars, a brightening product can help even out the skin."
