My final choice for (blush) beard cover

Post by DeeDee »

Well, after a few years of experimenting with various beard cover things, I've decided that the best is the old, cheap pink lipstick trick. I've tried Dermablend, Mehron and a few other expensive covers...which seem heavy and crack a bit as the night wears on. My makeup lady showed me how great the pink lipstick trick works..and she likes it a lot more than the others. It really does work well and is much lighter. Mind you, I have a heavy beard and this works well! Heres a quote from a makeup source
"Take the cheap lipstick and dot your face lightly over the beard area. It will look a little like a case of the measles. Blend this into the Concealer with your fingers. When done, you should have a slight sunburned look to your face over the beard area. If it is too red then you over did it and will need to put a bit more concealer on to even out the color. This is not a joke. The secret is that the red of the lipstick cancels out the bluishness of beard shadow. Women have used this trick to hide bruises and such for many many years. It works".
heck..works for me :lol:

Have only started experimenting using this method after seeing it mentioned. The beard is a lot less *yes!* but looking very ruddy at the moment.
The problem with some specialist makeup is that its designed for the stage and artificial stage lights.

I have try any and all tricks to hide under the nose beard shallow but nothing really works. The only real way I can cover it is to pile on the makeup and it looks like crap. One day, one day something will come along. :-k
