Concealing Temporary Scars And Bruises Safely:

Whichever way you look at her, Amy Winehouse cuts a striking figure with her bouffant hair styles, Egyptian-lined eyes and more lately, her impetigo-scabbed body. Her ugly skin imperfections are all over her upper body and look even worse against her glam makeup.

Certain people who have had cosmetic surgery too face problems not unlike Winehouse with post-surgery scars and mild swellings and angry incision lines. Plastic surgeons recommend camouflage cosmetics for such cases which help the patient deal with post-surgery appearances.

Application of these cosmetics can be commenced only if the plastic surgeon feels it right to do so. The rate of patient healing has to be deduced as well before the plastic surgeon feels the need to prescribe camouflage cosmetics. Usually eyelid surgery patients have to wait for a period of at least ten days before resorting to camouflage cosmetics or paramedical makeup.

Developed for both men and women, corrective makeup can help an eyelid surgery patient to conceal, add contour and correct the color of the bruises, incision lines and scars.

Corrective makeup is heavier on the skin than regular makeup and it is important to clean it off the face before going to sleep. A cleansing cream, a toner and a moisturizer that suits your face type are the best ways to get rid of camouflage cosmetics.

If you have had an eyelid surgery procedure, you can ask the plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for their advice and recommendations.
