i have a questions about applying concealers to cover up "imperfections" on my face?

Question

basically, i have a birthmark on my face, and i have been using concealers to hid it..

the thing is..it NEVER looks natural! like..it depends on the lighting..in actual sunlight, the concealed spot looks all reddish and stuff..

i'm kind of dark skinned..not really dark, not really light..

and so..my question is if anyone has any suggestions as to how to make a concealer match my skin tone throughout all kinds of light

**p.s. i have used dermablend, but like i said, it had that effect in the sunlight where it looked red and it was just disastrous

***p.p.s. my imperfection is above my lip, and so it's hard to apply powder because it wud seem like i have a moustache..

help..please??

i just don't like it when people look at "it" rather than at me in my eyes..u know??

it's just a hard emotional problem for me as well...

Answer 1

Have you tried a normal concealer and apply a cream to powder foundation over it. Also, you should definitly go to the makeup counters in the mall and ask them to help you see if you can cover it an find a color that is right for you. The lights in dept stores are very bright and you can very well see if it covers right for you.

HI there. Id love to help you and I hope what I tell you can help you. If you look at my picture can you tell i have any flaws? Underneath that makeup I have the most hideous DEEP scars from acne. It makes me look like a monster. I use a makeup called DERMABLEND. You buy the makeup (variety of shades) you can buy a dark and one light to mix together to find your shade, that's what I do.. then you buy the setting powered which is necessary to use after the makeup. Its very easy to apply, just apply on your face, use the setting powder and brush off. Its simply just wonderful. Just try it, i know you will love it. It covers anything from acne, scars, blemishes, pigmentation, birthmarks, even tattoos, and more. Give it try. Its not just makeup, its leg and body cover as well. :-)

i understand. i have a few little scars on my face and i tried mederma to get rid of the scars but it didn't help. so for christmas i got bare minerals. it works really good. it looks really natural and feels great. maybe you could try that. i've put it on my upper lip and it didn't look like a moustache.
good luck
