Yes, you can apply makeup over healed scars, but expect some texture to remain visible. Proper preparation and technique will help achieve smoother coverage.
Preparing your skin
- Cleanse the area gently with a mild cleanser to remove dirt and oils.
- Apply a hydrating moisturiser to create a smooth base.
- Use a primer specifically designed for textured skin to fill in uneven areas.
Choosing the right products
- Opt for a full-coverage foundation or concealer to mask discolouration.
- Cream-based products often work better on textured skin than powders.
- Consider a colour corrector if your scar has noticeable redness or pigmentation.
Application techniques
- Use a damp beauty sponge or stippling brush to apply foundation lightly.
- Build coverage gradually in thin layers rather than applying thickly.
- Set with a light dusting of translucent powder to prevent creasing.
