Tattoo Cover up make up

Hey I'm looking for suggestions on what is the best cream/make up to cover a wrist tattoo for my wedding.

Its writing on my wrist and even tho I like my tattoo I don't want it to be in the wedding pics.

I use vichy dermabend foundation. The foundation is in 3 parts, there is a concealer, foundation and powder. Now each piece is 20 euro but its not bad, the concealer lasts forever as does the powder. I havent tried the concealor on tattoos as mine is on my back but it is specially designed to cover scars and is very thick, when covered with the powder it is quite well hidden. Maybe if you can get to a mcabes pharmacy you could do a tester, one thing to note is not every mcabes will have the full range, some boots do it like the one in liffey valley but I cant remember if they have samples. I know the concealor covers my big dark freckles so it may work.

yep if you watch make up artists on youtube they all recommend vichy's dermablend as well.

prob search some cosmetic online websites for cheaper version. (never buy cosmetics on ebay).

I heard the nearest heaving concealer is Estee Lauder complete coverage foundation (not sure exact name)...it in a blue plastic tube. It is a heavy foundation, but I have heard of people using it to cover tatoo's.

I heard Kat Von Dee etc was rubbish.

Vichy Dermablend seems to be the best. Kandee Johnson on youtube uses it to cover her boyfriends tatoo's and it works!!

Hi Smelltheglove is the foundation very heavy? I presume it lasts all day tho. I'm gonna check out Boots at the weekend. No McCabes near me Im in Kildare

Yeah it's thick enough but not as heavy ad the liked of Elizabeth Arden. Gives a very good even cover, I bought 3 shades for my wedding so all the bridesmaids could wear it too, lasts all day!
