Men and women alike can be a victim of stretch marks. Pregnancy and sudden weight gain is the most common reason why people have stretch marks. Luckily, in this modern day we have stretch mark cover up products to help us conceal these imperfections.

These stretch mark cover up products can come in all sorts of variations. They can be cream, powder or make-up. But people usually use make-up to conceal the scars.

Let me give you some ideas on how to choose and use the right product.

• You always need to choose the right shade for your skin tone. Our main goal here is to conceal the marks unnoticed.

• If the stretch mark has creases, you need to use a concealer stick to cover it and finish it with a powder for a more natural look. Remember to use your finger when applying the concealer.

• Avoid using shimmering stretch mark cover up products especially if you will be using it on parts that are not covered by clothes. It will glitter and shine when light strikes it.

• Use a matte type concealer or foundation as stretch mark cover up for a longer lasting use.

• If you want a more reliable stretch mark cover up product that can give you the best result, I suggest you get an airbrush makeup kit. It is easy to use but can give you a greater coverage and it can last for up to 12 long hours. What's good about this product is that you do not need to do touchups.

With all the products available in the market today, you do not have to worry about how embarrassing it will be to go out with all the stretch marks in your body. Just choose the right product for your needs and use it wisely.
