    Default Ben Nye- Anyone ever use this brand of makeup?

    I am having some tattoo cover-up issues (Dermablend SUCKS!) and ran across some stage and theatre makeup called "Ben Nye"
    Just wondering if anyone has ever used it and if you liked it.
    Thanks!

    I hear the lumiere eyeshadows work very well.

    Ben Nye makes some great glitter paints that come in little pots but I don't care for the formulation of their concealers and foundations. (ETA: yeah those lumiere things, we posted at the same time). Otherwise, there are much better stage/professional makeup brands.

    You might try ColorTration http://www.colortration.com/ It covers extremely well but isn't super thick cream and gross like Dermablend and similar prodcucts. its very lightweight, waterproof and sets like a powder. This is the best product I know of for covering scars, tattoos, etc. I really, really recommend it. You need sooo very little of it to get perfect coverage which means that it doesn't really rub off too much either.

    I've heard CoverFX makes a total coverage foundation thats supposed to be pretty good. I haven't tried it myself but I think they carry that brand at Sephora at least.

    I think that Ben Nye works pretty well at covering tattoos. Depends on the application tbh.

    I agree though colorTration would work better but they a limited selection of shades for WOC.

    My personal fav would be Tattoo Camo.. seriously go check it out.

    Yea I luuurve the lumiere e/s by Ben Nye. Inexpensive, great color pay off and very blendable.
