I have heard about bareMineral and sheer cover, but does it actually cover the scars up or just help the color of your face?

if its a colored scar, a dermatologist can recommend a fading cream to get rid of it. facials and chemical peels work as well, or you can try a new whitening skin care from shiseido called sheisdo white lucent, i know a few people who have had luck with that. if its a scar that has left an impression, again a dermatologist can clear up colored and impressioned scars with a laser treatment. for a quick fix, try a primer, like smashbox photofinish, laura mercier secret camouflage foundation primer, or m.a.c matte texture. all of these have a main ingredient called dimethicone, which is a cosmetic silicone used to temporarily even out the surface of the skin by acting as a filler. of course, this would be a daily step to your make up routine, but is a great short term fix. some moisturizers aren't compatible with silicone. you can tell if after applying the primer, it balls up either alone or under make up. if this happens you can either just skip the forehead when you moisturize or use a bit less. good luck!

there are certain laser treatments that can help to lessen the appearance of scars and skin coloring issues... You can also do chemical peels... I would suggest speaking with e demotologist about what options are there... Otherwise wear a hat or find a nice foundation to cover (like blemish covering)...
I would suggest wearing sunblock at all times because scar tissue can absorb light and show discoloration much easier than normal tissue... meaning it may look worse because the scar area tans up more than the rest of your face.
oh, and my girlfriend uses the Bare mineral product... it works pretty well and she says her skin feels better with it than other stuff....

Be natural.Everyone knows scars of chicken pox, nothing wrong in it.Avoid being self conscious about your scar.You will get over it.Believe me it might make you look better without you realising it.Go on be yourself.There are so many things in life to worry about.

It does cover it...but I can't say it works for all. You can try having laser treatments to not only minimize the appearance but smooth out the surface too.

There are creams such as Mederma, I think the name is; that help fade scars. You could do a Google search. Also, make up will help cover it up meantime.

i have one right between my eyes, but its not very noticable unless people get up close to me, and i wear stuff that "covers it up" but it doesnt really do much... it just blends it in a little bit
