dab on a thick concealer and then layer over powder so that it will stay like that all night long.


I heard Mac has good concealers

I use to have the same problem on my arm. I would put concealor on it,and blend it in with a little makeup but it always wore off fast. So It sounds crazy, but I put my eyeshadow glue/base/primer [whatever you call it,lol] on it, then put my concealor and makeup over it. It stayed mostly covered for like 7 hours instead of wareing off in a couple minutes. But if you don't wanna use makeup use a fake tan. When your tan it makes it a lot less noticable. Good luck!
You could try a mineral powder, such as BareMinerals or Sheer Cover, to hide it. Other natural products from Physicians Formula, Revlon, etc. might work too. I have a scar from a burn on my chin and loose mineral powder always covers it almost completely.





The only other option, other than laser treatment (way expensive), is to buy scar treatment, such as Mederma, in order for the scar to fade away. However, this takes almost a year, so for now I'd stick with makeup.

This is for concealing dark circles but will work the same for dark scars. Use the Color Correcting Wheel she is using. It is the best you can get.
