concealing: bruising, tattoos, or small facial injuries
Life happens, and you might be in a situation where you find yourself having to make an important presentation or take part in an event in spite of the fact that you're still recovering from an accident or medical procedure that's left you with some visible bruising. Though it's virtually impossible to conceal swelling, most skin discolorations - including bruising or tattoos - can be discretely concealed using a thin waterproof color corrective special effects makeup which is applied either by hand or using an airbrush. Since the product is diluted in an alcohol base, it offers two major benefits: first, it is completely smear proof and will not run or transfer onto clothing, but most importantly, the fact that this product uses alcohol as a delivery system means that the alcohol evaporates immediately leaving a dry color corrected barrier that sits on the surface of the skin. This keeps the area clean and free from conventional cream or water based makeups which can harvest bacteria on injured skin and exacerbate the problem. Though it's always best to keep injured skin clean and free of product, there are times when that's not always convenient. Of course, each situation is unique and must be assessed accordingly - for feasibility and safety.
