2) Camouflage Cream derma by Kryolan
Every makeup artist swears by the coverage that this product has to offer. One light layer on your face covers every discolouration pigmentation or spots and acne marks everything. It is trusted and used widely by every makeup artist out there. Since it has such a high coverage it is the best to cover tattoos.

5) Dermablend leg and body-
Lastly, one of the best concealers in the market especially for body makeup is the derma blend. It is highly pigmented so it is only for the body discoloration, birthmarks, tattoos any color on your body can be covered with this. They have also made the formula transfer proof so it doesn’t transfer to clothes or skin and stays on the body for up to 16 hours and when water proof so if its a beach shoot this product will be your best friend. Since the pigments are comparatively high we don’t not advise makeup artists to use it on the face as our face and neck doesn’t need as much coverage as the rest of the body.
