Hi,
Does anyone know of a really good brand of makeup that will cover tattoos for theatre and film appearances. I'm after something that will blend with my skin tone, and will be virtually invisible. If anyone can name a brand, and maybe where I should search that would be most helpful (I'm in melbourne, if anyone knows somewhere specific).

Thanks ya'll....
EM.

Re: TATTOO MAKEUP

You might try Dermacolour. It's usually used to cover birth marksbut it might work. Ask at a good chemist or a good theatrical makeup store.

Re: TATTOO MAKEUP

if you can get your hands on an airbrush, then i suggest that, other than that, you will have to cover it by hand using derma colours and a lot of powder...which isnt very reliable, as derma does rub. Airbrishing as the only way to go about it.

these are all available from backstage makeup located in melbourne...

they also have a website, which i think is backstagemakeup.com.au

if its not that, google them.
