Any postop veterans there have a favorite concealer than covers well and easy to remove? I'm looking for a palette-type with several shades to work with.
TIA |

| after my surgery I used Estee lauder Maximum Cover camouflage makeup.Its very good at coverage, you only need a VERY tiny bit ...slowly dot and feather on with a brush,it does not come off easily which is good if you are trying to hide bruises, but its a little difficult to get off. This makeup I believe was actually made for things like surgery.Its only $28 a tube....I have had it for 2 1/2 yrs and have only used maybe one fourth of the tube. |

BEST thing to do is go to the health food store or better supplement store and purchase Traumeel cream to use topically..on the bruise. It is made by HEEL a German product line and will reduce your bruising in not time at all. Also get Arnica 30CH to take internally...its homeopathic and 100% safe, so no need to worry if you are taking any other meds..it will help to reduce infammation and reduce the bruise FAST>.
Bruising usually starts out purple, and ORANGE is the best color to cove blue/purple..when it turns yellow...I really dont know what is the best color...someting with a blue base??? |

Yes! I did use Arnica tablets and Traumeel tablets immediately postop and I can tell ya: it really DID reduce the bruising quite a lot! My surgeon was amazed (he said). Just a little bruising remains and is now fading rapidly. Thanks for reminding me!!
PS- for the yellow nasties that I have now - lavender eye shadow is the perfect camo!! Cancels it completely! |

| Of course, purple is the complementary color of yellow!! Good to know!! Traumeel cream is excellent to use topically. I keep a tube around in case I need it...although I rarely do.. |

Thru trial/error I found that Alima's G-2 MMU is the perfect ochre to neutralize purple, and Estee Lauder's PureColor e/s in Pale Moon is the perfect lavender to neutralize yellow. L'Oreal's Fresh Leaf green e/s is working to neutralize red for me.
Thanks for all your favorites! |
