Killer Cover™: How to Apply & Tips

Use for: Age Spots, Bruises, Birthmarks, Port Wine Stains, Scars, Tattoos & Vitiligo

How to apply

1. Use on clean, moisturized skin
2. Remove a small amount of product with a spatula or fingers.
3 Start with a shade closest to your skin tone. If necessary, stipple several shades together until you achieve your perfect match. Dab and pat the make up instead of stroking it onto your skin.
4. For dark discolorations, first use a color darker than your skin tone, then layer with the shade closest to your skin tone.
5. Blend into the surrounding area by patting the product until there is no line of demarcation.
6. Set with August Minerals™ Finishing Powder: Translucent Formula using a powder brush. Let powder set for two minutes and buff off excess. If necessary, you can take a damp cotton pad or sponge to blot the area of powder. This will also set your make up more efficiently.

Remember: always begin your coverage with a small amount of the first color you are using. You're not making up for a masquerade, so start simple!

Hints for Scars

• If the scar is red in color, use more yellow in your foundation mix.
• If the scar is white in color, use more of the natural skin tone colors, or a touch of my Orange Masking Crème™, which brings the color of the scar back to a normal skin color.
• For very light, small scars, The Everything Pencil™ may be all you will need. Find the best color to match your skin tone or blend different colors together for a perfect match.
• Use a small brush to paint out scars or try using The Everything Pencil™ and dip into the Killer Cover™. Works great!

Hints for Vitiligo

• For very small white spots due to hypo-pigmentation or Vitiligo, The Everything Pencil™ may be all you need. Find the best color to match your skin, or a combination of colors blended together.
• If you have depigmentation, white patches should be concealed if they are sun-sensitive. Color in the spot with your pencil. Pat and blend together. A touch of Orange Masking Crème™ will also help to bring back the skin to a normal tone.
• Try using a small brush to paint in the spots or use The Everything Pencil™ and dip into Killer Cover™, using the pencil as an applicator.
• Powder over the colored spots to set the make up. Finish as your all-over face color.

Hints for Port Wine Stains & Birthmarks

• If the mark that is being covered is around the eye area and you need heavier make up, do not use any eye creams or moisturizers prior to concealment. Any make up has to be on dry skin to stay.
• Witch hazel is a natural toner that should be used to remove oil from the birthmark. If the skin is too oily, the make up will easily slide off.
• When applying Killer Cover™, start off with a very thin layer of make up, and add more layers as needed. Pat with powder in between layers using a cotton pad or puff. Do not miss any area that concealer has been placed. Gently brush off the excess in a downward motion.
• Use a lighter color on the birthmark first. Without blending, use a second darker color and blend with your finger to match the birthmark with the surrounding color of your skin. Remember, always blend, never rub.
• If your birthmark is on your cheek or eye, after concealing, use blush and eye shadow that are the same color as your birthmark. Your make up will look very natural.

Hints for Tattoos

• To block out tattoos with blue, red, or yellow inks, start with a color in the Killer Cover™ wheel darker than your skin tone. Then, proceed with natural skin tone colors.
