    Skull body scar makeup tips

    Hey ladies,
    Im trying audition for a few clubs in my area next week. I just have an issue about my body scars. I have really bad eczema on my back and chest and they appear as pimples but they arent. They itch really bad during an outbreak and if I scratch them they leave really dark scars. I dont want to be turned down at my audition because the clubs are usually topless and im scared management will notice it and so will clients. I was wondering if any of you ladies have something similar and have found a way to hide it with body makeup. Im already self conscious because 1. i would be an amature, 2. there are not that many urban clubs in NYC, and 3. the body scars. 3 strikes and Im out (lol just kidding).

    If you have any tips to make my body appear "normal" and smooth please post them below. All help is appreciated!

    Thanks!

    P.S. Im not sure if there is another thread on this, if there is link me to it please

    how bad are they though? would you be able to post a pic? there are plenty of ways to cover up scars ( besides the very forgiving backlights) but idk if they would make your present exzema even worse! what do you use to treat it normally?

    Normally i go tanning (even though im black/hispanic and dark skinned). Tanning actually smooths out my skin and diminishes scars. However, the sun is basically gone here in NYC. I live next to a beach but there hasnt been any sun out at all these last few days. I have tried body makeup for the front and have been somewhat successful, but i just can't find a brand that works really well with the coverage. havent tried it on my back though.

    dermablend ( its for covering up tattoos, so its strong), sally hansen spray is what i use for covering up scars. tanning has been known to worsen eczema, so its probably just as well, plus skin cancer and aging!! sorry i'm just so against tanning, even if you have darker skin it can't be good for ya!

    Are you sure it's eczema and not folliculitis? Dermablend's foundation would work, I think.

    lol yeah im not an excessive tanner or anything. but there are actually UV ray treatments for eczema at dermatologist offices. my insurance wont cover that so i opted to do it myself. i always use sunblock etc.. but i wont go into detail about it.
    Ive used sally hansen spray for my legs one summer just to try it. it was pretty good, i havent thought of that for other parts of my body. I should go pick up a bottle this week and see if it works on me.

    I have seen spray tanning ads for black girls. It says it evens out skin tone. Try a spray tan!

    ^This. I've used Dermablend under/over sally hasen to cover up eczema before. I also use it to cover a piercing scar on my nose and it works well.

    thank you for telling me that! It may be pricey but i also did some research earlier and it worked for a lot of others. I might just order some next week along with the sally hansen.

    I use a lotion called First Aid Beauty -Ultra Repair Cream - it is awesome for eczema and the chicken skin - cant remember the correct term for that - lol - but my grand daughter has it - it is 28.00 at Sephora and we love it - I can use it on my face daily - non greasy - really helps improve the skin and stops the itching

    I've had exema (not now though) it sucks! I'd also worry about it (cover Up) irritating your skin. What about one of the bb creams, made for sensitive skin/breakouts?

    I own a BB cream at home its from china (the legit ones). The only problem is it doesnt match my skin because they dont make darker ones for people that arent fair to medium skin tones. I would have to mix it with foundation like the way i do for my face. I'll see if i can incorporate the BB cream along with these other tips since I know it gives really good coverage.
