Friends – meet my new love… camouflage makeup!
I know when you hear the word camouflage the first thing that pops into your head is men running around in army gear with their faces painted.
They do this so they blend into their surroundings. Camouflage makeup is similar in the fact that we use it to “camouflage” skin conditions so they blend into the rest of our skin.
Let me give you the run down on what exactly camouflage makeup is and how it works.
Where it came from:
Camouflage makeup was first developed by plastic surgeons during World War Two in order to hide burns that fighter pilots received.
What it’s used for:
It doesn’t cause you to blend into your surroundings but it does camouflage blemishes on your skin so that they are not so noticeable – this includes scars, birthmarks, acne, lupus rash, spider veins and any number of other skin irregularities.
You can use it on any part of your body (awesome!) and some brands are water proof so you are able to go swimming - imagine putting on that bikini and covering those nasty stretch marks - Umm Heck yes!
Oh and did I mention that body camouflage can be worn for 3-4 days before having to be washed off and reapplied?
It is also great for covering tattoos for any special occasion… I like that idea too!
Why I LOVE it:
Talk about a boost to your self confidence! I know plenty of women, and especially young girls with skin problems that cause them to be embarrassed. I’m so glad that there are people out there who are making products like these to help them feel at their most beautiful.
The fact is cosmetic camouflage has been shown to improve the quality of life significantly. It improves self-esteem and creates a sense of personal well-being.
