"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

"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
