Ideas for covering up a scar on my face?

Desiree96

I have bad acne scars on my face and I want to cover them up at my wedding. Makeup really doesn't work because they are indented... my dermatologist told me about a product called dermaflage that is topical and fills in the scars. The website looks amazing but I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it before i pull the trigger.

HELP!

Have you tried using a foundation primer?  Depending on the severity of the scars, that can help.  I have a few on my cheeks and primer helps fill it in.  I use the Pur Minerals green one (the green counteracts my red scars).  People rave over the Smashbox one too- that one is feels a little thicker, so it might help too.

Have you seen the commercial for Mederma?  I don't have any experience with it, but it looks like it works pretty well.

I bought this for a burn scar on my arm. It was $22 and seems to work well, but I forget to put it on alot.

I also have scars, but unfortunately I've never used the product. If your derm recommended it, I'd give it a shot. Primers do help. Also, even if you don't use a makeup artist for your wedding day, maybe consult with one about what they usually do for people with deep scars?

Try Dermablend. Really good stuff. My SIL bought some because she has a rather large scar on her arm from surgery that she wants to cover and she tested the stuff out, and said it works great, and has really good staying power.
