I don’t have severe scarring, but I do have acne and some acne scars, plus scars from ingrown facial hairs. Though I put on makeup every day, I definantly do not always feel confident that my flaws are hidden. Sometimes I think the makeup makes them MORE noticable.

However, I think a lot of that has to do with the fact I’m not well trained in putting on makeup. Oh, I know some tricks from stage makeup classes – but that means I tend to put on makeup too thick. Perparing myself for a spotlight more then everyday wear.

My mom didn’t wear makeup as a kid and I had no older sisters nor any female friends who would teach me. Not knowing the proper way to do makeup has left me very insecure. And no, going to a makeup counter doesn’t help. They’re only interested in selling you the product, not showing you the proper way to put it on. (Plus I always seem to get the girl with the rancid breath. Please, when you work that close to a person’s nose, chew some Altoids!)

I often wish I could find an old fashion charm school where I’d learn things like putting on makeup correctly, styling my hair, etc.

Anyway, my own experiences makes me wonder if the women who are less confident with corrective makeup are so because they don’t know how to put it on properly, not a problem with the makeup itself.

It’s also important to remember that “having facial scars” is not a personality type. Some women with them will use cosmetics and like them, some will use cosmetics and feel ashamed, some won’t and will feel both ways, too.

Some women may have them surgically dealt with and feel much better, some women will feel worse. People are pretty varied.

Unless you can put transdermal valium in the product, I highly doubt that this is a problem for cosmetic chemists to solve, honesty. It’s out of your jurisdiction pretty solidly. You hit it with your first comment — women who feel they have to hide are women who feel they have to hide, and feeling like you have to hide about ANYTHING will crush your spirit over time.
