Oh yeah! That's me wearing the Winkee! This is a a lovely piece of wardrobe that you must
get! Why? Because 99% of the clothes made today are super low cut. I love a turtleneck and in fact own several, but I can't wear them in the Arizona summer! Or spring, or Fall for that fact I have to wait for the January week of winter here in Arizona.

So the Winkee is my new friend because it's super small but covers a large area and is easy to attach to your undergarment and get full coverage in what is normally a wee tank top! This scoop neck tank

is low, but now with the Winkee! Normally I have to
pull my tank up but not anymore!
Now in my button up shirt, again, the Winkee gives coverage and modesty without a layer of clothing to add another reason to sweat in the Arizona heat. There are so many colors and choices I know you will be happy with it.

Now for some reason, if you do choose to let it all hang out that's okay too because the Winkee is so small and easy to use that you could have it on at work, then leave for your next adventure and remove the winkee and put it in your wallet. Yes, wallet! It's that small!

That's my foot and it has two tattoos, well, technically I have three tattoos there but that is another story for another time.  Below I'm doing a simple and easy tattoo cover up with Smart Cover. It's made from the same ladies who were part of Dermablend getting started.

This is the kit and it comes with all these pieces! Including a color corrector and three shades of beige to help select the right color to cover with.

Now a very informative instruction and product description pamphlet is included in the kit.  There are great tutorials and more info on the home page http://www.smartcover.com/

I think the greatest thing they did for the consumer is include the flat tip synthetic brush in the kit.  It is great for feathering the edges to smooth them into the skin.  Here is a step by step on how I did it so you can do it too!  

Step 1: Start with a clean dry foot or piece of skin. Make sure the skin is free of any lotions that can inhibit the Smart Cover from binding to the skin.

Step 2. Apply a thin layer of the Smart Cover Color Corrector. Apply several thin layers at a time, letting the product dry in between layers.  It's better to apply a little at a time and build up to the desired thickness and coverage than have to back peddle out of a sloppy glop of product.

Step 3. Choose your shade of color to cover with: I used the stick of Neutral Beige. I warmed up the stick on the back of my hand, and then made several light strokes over the top of the Color Corrector. Then I used the synthetic flat tipped brush that is included in the kit to lightly feather and blend the edges of the Neutral Beige into the skin.

Step 4. I let it dry a bit, feathered and blended some more, applied a little bit more of the Neutral Beige and then blended a bit more til it was nearly gone on the edges. This entire process took under 10 minutes and that included the picture taking.

This is the finished looked. The only thing left to do before putting this foot into a shoe is to lightly dust the top of the foot with some translucent powder.

I hope this helps you if you ever need to cover dark circles, a tattoo ( oh the horror!) a spot of melasma, bruise or pimple.
