No guarantee "Kat Von D Sephora Tattoo Concealer" Rating: 2 stars Price: $25 Positives: 1. Great tattoo artist 2. Good selection of shades Negatives: 1. Complicated four step system 2. Takes a great deal of work to apply 3. Frankly, I was disappointed that from a major cosmetic firm it would be so watery and runny 4. Take too long to dry 5. Covers fair, seems like they are really using her name to sell make-up - eye shadow and such. "Smart Cover" Rating: 3 stars Price : $29.75 Positives: 1. Very cheap 2. Lots of different items available but that makes it complicated and time consuming to figure out what you need 3. Guaranteed Negatives: 1. Looks like it was made for flesh colored marks, tattoos were probably an afterthought 2. Multi steps, takes a lot of time 3. Drying takes a long time 4. I wonder how a product can cover tattoos and also be good for wrinkles (on their website). Seems it wants to be all things to all people. "Coloration" Rating: 3 stars Price : $32.00 Positives: 1. Not too many steps 2. Can be blended, but that takes 2 steps Negatives: 1. Thin consistency, takes long to dry 2. Rubs off easily 3. Must be sealed with a spray - cutting off air flow to skin/ skin can not breath. That spray is only recommended for legs and body 4. Hard to remove 5. No guarantee "Cover Mark" Rating: 2 stars Price : $30 Positives: 1. Box looks neat 2. Mid priced Negatives: 1. This is the one that left me at the alter! 2. Instead of reading my list their own video says it all. Watch their video at http://www.covermarkusa.com/index_birth_tattoo.htm and see what people do not like about most tattoo make-ups. Be aware you are watching an edited film. It takes forever to apply, must be layered and layered which makes it difficult to dry. And then after all that work a shadowy look is still visible underneath those layers of make-up. 3. No guarantee |
