I haven’t tried it but I read a tip to use costume/theater makeup, as it’s meant for coverage and shouldn’t rub off

Makeup won’t work for an actual long term day at work. This is an unrealistic expectation.

There are several YouTube vids about this but the short answer is to use lipstick, I always remember seeing folks use red. Apply the lipstick all over the tattoo and set with powder, then cover the lipstick with foundation that matches your skin tone. It may take practice but I’ve used this method before for single events like a wedding or interview to great success.

Dermacol is the best foundation that cover tattoos but after you put it on your skin set it with powder

“If your ink is blue or black—or if it was recently done—you should be using an orange or peach-toned corrector that will cancel out the dark tones in your tattoo. Apply the correcting shade on your tattoo, then wait about a minute to ensure it’s totally dry, and top it off with your favorite full-coverage concealer from this list.” https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/g41995791/tattoo-cover-up-makeup/

“How To Cover A Tattoo With Make-up Long-lasting & Waterproof - Kryolan”: https://youtu.be/nctRQbAc8rE?si=CO5k02nFDUtZT2UY

Remember to set it with a full coverage powder! And waterproof setting spray

Try the nars pot concealer! It's my fav concealer because you can just put the smallest amount and tap it in and it covers things so well.

I just bought a tube of tart concealer this past prime day and have been loving it so far

i cant say anything about coverage but as far as wearability and transfer one size setting spray is rlly good or hairspray! also use so so much powder

I used Dermablend. It came as a cream stick which was easy to keep on me for touchups.

Dermacol Full coverage foundation, that's in a tube. They don't have the best color diversity, from what I remember. But it's SUPER full coverage but still tends to look more natural compared to other similar foundations. You can't find it in stores, at least where I live, but you can find it on Amazon. It's roughly $20 but lasts such a long time.

I have a tattoo on the back of my neck that i need to cover sometimes and the only thing that has ever worked well enough is kryolan TV paint stick. But I heard people use loreal infallible foundation too.

You probably don’t want to have make up stuck to your hands for lab work, right? Could you wear long sleeves and gloves?

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye is amazing from personal experience.

I'm not sure about hand washes though- maybe try it on in store and then go wash your hands to check? But it's pretty amazing for coverage and longevity.

Dermacol, it covers and stays put. I used it for my BF's wedding on her. It's just tricky to find a shade match as it's full full coverage.

Dermacol is amazing, but even the lightest shade is pretty dark in my opinion. It works great as a concealer even though its supposed to be stage makeup foundation x

Dermacol and Dermabland, if I recall correctly might be the same item, just different names in different countries and packaging :)

I used to work at a sports bar that made us cover our tattoos. Dermablend is fine but I always thought it was a bit messy. I used cover fx. Pink or red concealer under, foundation over, and then set it with a powder - that's really the kicker. Make sure its just a run of the mill setting powder, no pigment.

Nothing from Sephora or Mecca will help unfortunately. You have to learn colour correction and purchase an orange colour corrector then a really full coverage foundation, try Krayolan! Theres a store in the city, you can go there and maybe ask for advice on how to cover a tattoo and I’m sure they can help with that!

I don't know if this is helpful, but one of the musical theatre performers I follow on YouTube, Alicia Belgarde, is currently performing in the "Friends, The Musical Parody" tour in the UK and has to cover a tattoo on her arm: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sU_cSD7N2AA

Red lipstick + Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer from Mecca, not sure about the Sephora equivalent. There’s tutorials online or the staff would probably be able to help in store :)

I’m aging myself here, but “back in my day” (haha), Mac did a studio fix foundation that covered tattoos, and I think they still have it. Not sure if the formula is still the same. But worth a try.

Check out Vichy Dermablend. It's designed to cover birthmarks, hyperpigmentation, etc. Pretty sure it'll cover tatts too

Pre-Laser hair removal I used Dermablend to cover up my dark facial hair. They have many different shades to match your skin, it lasts all day, water proof (I went swimming in lakes with no issues). There's a reason we transwomen swear by this stuff.

Pretty sure Kat Von D has specifically made one just for this reason

Bye bye under eye by IT cosmetics.

I've never had luck with any make-up solution really lasting...I'm sure they exist, but I never had access to one that worked. When I need to cover my tattoos I use arm covers from Tat2X. They're comfy and stay in place well, plus provide some protection from the sun.
