Depending on what type of surgery you're having (keyhole?) please do check with your surgical team about when the wound sites will be okay for makeup.

I had stomach surgery two years ago which involved 6 keyhole incisions which were then stitched with those dissolving steri strip things, plus a dressing on top. 5 of them healed up absolutely fine and the dressings came off on day 5 and stayed off, but one gave me problems - it was high up between my boobs and as it was summer I think because I was sweating it slowed the healing. If the wound site is still "wet" (for want of a better word) please don't try putting any cover up on it as it could potentially lead to infection.

(2 years on the scars are only visible if you're looking for them!)

Thank you for the info VC, I'm only having 4 , one of them under a boob  . I intend to take 3 weeks off minimum or until they're all healed . The make up would be purely to blend in the "pinkiness" for aesthetic purposes once I'm fit so that they're not so obvious .

Maybelline is my favourite. I slap foundation on all day long to cover up stubble rash and swear by the dream matte mousse and powder. cheap, cheerful and good coverage. ooh and the baby skin primer..Love it. Wish I had nice enough sin to go without  ::)
I've lost track of how many cats I have...

I use Sleek and Marks and Spencer's creme to powder.  Not a fan of foundation and with creme to powder thee is good coverage and no need for 2 products.

I'm after recommendation for an effective foundation / cover up , I'm about to have surgery and hoping to be able to cover up the scars on my tummy when I get back to work in hopefully 3 weeks time ...any help greatly appreciated  :)
your Doctor might be able to help you they can give your prescriptions for cover up that isn't sold in the shops and sometimes refer you to places. I was referred somewhere and the cover up worked a thousand times better than derma blend which in my opinion works the same as a full coverage foundation.

Clinique is a better cover up I find.

Any tips for limp plumpers  ladies? I have quite small lips, so something  that would stay on when working would be great.

Bondi sands ultra dark- only needs 4-5 hours to develop, as long as you keep moisturised it fades naturally no patches! And withstands showers/shaving

Seconding Kat Von D's Lock-it foundation, applied with a beauty blender and 'baked' with setting powder. Stays for ages! Kat von D are also pretty good for pale shades, and sell a 'pure white' concealer that you can mix into products to get an even paler shade.

Hey,

So this hasn't been such an issue until recently. The combination of moving to a really bright apartment and the heat are really exacerbating the situation  :FF

How is everyone keeping their make-up on ??? ???

I have, not 'spotty' bad skin, but go very red so wear a fair amount of foundation, powder etc. to cover this and make it even.

Now, every booking, I'm looking in the mirror half way through and realised (particularly the mouth area for obvious reasons) is bright red and all the make up has gone :( I am getting really self-conscious about it, as I said, especially now I have moved and its so bright until like 10pm!!!  :(

I have tried hair spray, various primers, powders, setting sprays, etc.

Anyone else out there have any genius solutions?

Thanks in Advance x x

In this weather I'm just wearing concealer under the eyes, a light powder (reapplied after every booking), eyeshadow, eyeliner, brow powder. No lipstick.

What about Corset/basque instead of make up?

I find a primer with mineral foundation best, as you can build up/reapply the foundation without it looking too cakey or unnatural. Or get one of those 'infallible' liquid foundations, only apply a thin layer, and dust with Bourjois' rice powder. Boots No. 7 do a good green tinted primer if redness is an issue: it's semi-transparent so doesn't give you the Halloween look some others do.

BTW, I would not recommend Urban Decay's Cannonball mascara - had to chuck mine quite soon as the wand just got really gunky.
