Medical makeup has existed for awhile but only recently has it entered the public realm. And boy, should we be glad that it has. These type of products are the reason I feel so passionate about the beauty industry. So what is it? In basic terms, its not much different then normal makeup but its benefit is its ability to conceal major skin conditions, whether those conditions are natural or from accident/injury. The product is remarkable, in fact, life changing, for those who deal with issues such as acne.

The average person out there, with no real major skin conditions, gets to enhance their look with beauty products. But for a person with acne, scars on their face, a birthmark, major discoloration, this product is life-changing. For me, beauty products are exactly about that... changing lives. They are about solving problems. They are about solving skin issues. And as a result, improving our mental health and improving our quality of life.

And while medical makeup is for acne, it can be used for many problems. It can be used for Rosacea, Vitiligo, red patches, angioma, dark circles under the eyes. You can use it to hide a tattoo because you've got that all important interview coming up. If you have surgery coming up and want to hide bruising after the surgery, that can be done too. And if you can believe it, it can also help those who suffered injury to the face and were left with parts of the face that were "sunken in". Medical makeup evens out the face to give you a fresher look.

So how does medical makeup accomplish this amazing task? Quiet simply, its accomplished by the fact that the pigment that makes up the creams are thicker than in most concealers. A high coverage cream, which medical makeup is, will tend to be about 40% pigments. Regardless of its thickness, it looks as natural as regular makeup. Medical makeup is also water-resistant, fragrance free, and hypoallergenic, so in no way would it cause any other issues.

The only drawback is that medical makeup is usually harder to acquire. There aren't as many makers of this miracle product. And as always, I stress that it is important to get it from a store that specializes in the area of skin conditions. Why? Quiet simple really. Why waste money buying from a store that ads their products randomly, or from carriers that they prefer, or because they care about quantity of products, when you can get the right one, right away, from a store that knows what works. Simply, don't waste your money or time.
