Tattoo Cover-All Wheel

Ben Nye Tattoo Cover-All Wheel

During the upcoming season of weddings, anniversary celebrations, and sleeveless tops and dresses, tattoo cover will become a popular item. If you have some left over product, you might be wondering whether it is still in good condition. Here are some tips to help you figure it out:

Tattoo cover is a thicker, drier consistency then makeup or foundation. If you have used it before you already know to really load the sponge, brush, or your finger heavily with product before starting to apply it.

  • As your tattoo cover begins to dry out, the first sign that it is getting too dry to use is that a ring of separation will form around the outer edge. You will notice a gap between the inner edge of the container and the makeup. At this stage, the product is still useable but see tip #2 for another helpful hint.
  • The second sign of old tattoo cover is a dull appearance on the surface. Tattoo cover contains castor oil. As it ages, after a couple of years, castor oil begins to evaporate, taking the shine with it. At this stage, you could add one drop (yes, just one drop) of castor oil. You can use a drop of mineral oil, if you have it on hand and don’t have any castor oil. But remember, just one drop.
  • The final stage of tattoo cover going bad comes with a rancid smell. At this point, discard the entire container and go to your nearest Cappel’s store for a brand new Mehron, or Ben Nye tattoo cover. If you don’t live near one of our stores, you can order some from our website, cappelsinc.com.
