The Sneaky Trick That Can Help You Cover Up Stretch Marks

In order to harness the magic of makeup to help you tame those tiger stripes, you'll need three different products: concealer, foundation, and finishing powder. Choose a shade that matches your body skin tone, not that of your face, as these may not be an exact match. Make sure your makeup is waterproof, too, since your body does tend to sweat.

First apply the concealer, using a small paintbrush to ensure that you're only covering the stretch marks and not the surrounding skin. Press the concealer down with a makeup sponge, then paint a thin layer of foundation on top. Finally, apply powder to set the foundation. If you really want to make sure your makeup remains put, give it a spritz of matte setting spray.

If you're feeling particularly bold and/or wishing to channel your bad middle school self, you can even finish up with a little body glitter. This should have the desired effect of distracting all eyes away from your stretch marks — or at least adding some shine and sparkle to those stripes!
