Smart Cover beautifies Helen Mirren on the set of The Last Station
That Helen Mirren is one gorgeous lady and looked amazing at the Oscars Sunday night but you know I am always more interested in the behind the scenes stuff.
Which is why when I found out that Helen's makeup in The Last Station was from Smart Cover I wanted to know a bit more as I was not familiar with the brand. Turns out that they do camouflage makeup that covers everything! Including, but not limited to, acne, age spots, birthmarks, dark circles, furrows, rosacea, scars, tatoos, varicose viens, wrinkles, etc, etc. I'm impressed! And really if you are being shown up on the big screen you want to make extra sure that all of your flaws are being super concealed!

Tattoo Removal: A Bigger Business than Tattooing
As tattoos become yesterday's style and employers are requiring tattoos to be "out of sight"; the price of making this colorful trend disappear is very painful and costly.
This Much is Clear, Tattoo Removal Firms See Growth
The multi-billion dollar business of tattoo removal is enjoying some recession-proof growth -- with one LA-based clinic even planning on going public next year to help fund a national expansion plan.
"More than 40 million people have tattoos and about seven million, or 17 percent, are in the process of figuring out how to get rid of them," said John Keefe, the CEO of Dr. Tattoff, a Californian tattoo removal clinic, who hopes to use the proceeds from a 2010 initial public offering to grow to a 10-location chain.

Smart Cover Cosmetics - Product Review
I just tried some of the Smart Cover products. I started with the medium concealing cream.
It is a very highly pigmented formula used to cover scars, tattoos and port wine marks. I found the Camouflage cream to be a better choice for me as I am looking for a full coverage foundation.

Camouflage Me!
I have always had dry skin. Never had a single pimple when I was in high school. I was freckled and fair. I never wore sunscreen (who did back in the 70s?), and I never used an ounce of face cream. While the other girls spent what seemed like hours coating their faces with layers Cover Girl foundation and powder, I applied my favorite flavor of Maybelline Kissing Potion, added my blue eyeshadow and I was good to go.
Funny how little we appreciate those small things in life: Like youth, for example. If only I had known then…blah, blah.
Smart Cover Perfect Touch Camouflage Cream
I received the Perfect Touch Camouflage Cream as a sample from the brand to test it out. I first tried it on my hand, where I have a very recent scar. It covered my scar very well. I really like the texture of the product, as it's very light but provides a lot of coverage. It's also non-greasy and goes on smoothly. The only aspect of this product that definitely needs improvement is the packaging and product information sheet.

How About Those Dark Circles? Not Anymore!
Who has time for makeup? I wish I could say I did, because God knows I need it. Unfortunately, I just don't get to glam myself up like I used to.
It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't plagued with crows feet and dark circles under my eyes. I'm not just talking light circles either. Some days I look like I'm getting ready to take the field for Monday Night Football.
Thank goodness for quick fixes that really work like Flawless Face To Go. I don't look glam just by using this product alone, but what a difference it makes in my appearance. Of course, if I want to look more fixed up, Flawless Face To Go is an essential step as well.

Camouflage expert flori roberts and nancy roberts present smart cover cosmetics
Camouflage expert, Flori Roberts, and Nancy Roberts have developed a wonderful array of products that target concealing, anti- aging, and everything else you need to create a flawless look, called Smart Cover Cosmetics.
Perfect Camouflage
f we had to choose just one makeup item to keep from our entire cosmetics case, we'd have to go for concealer. Why? It's become indispensable for covering up dark circles, blemishes, and the occasional zit. And heaven knows we've tried tonnes of different types. Our most recent discovery is Perfect Touch Camouflage Creme. It blended in seamlessly with or without being combined with foundation, and the hue (two different ones are available) was just right. A keeper!

Smart Cover Cosmetics Review and Giveaway...
Thanks to the wonderful folks at Smart Cover Cosmetics, I recently had the chance to review the Hollywood Make-Up Artist Kit
Smart Cover-Up Kit
I was recently sent the Smart Cover-Up Kit and I have really enjoyed playing with it for the past few weeks. The 10-piece set comes in two tones; Light Combo and Dark Combo. Depending on your choice you’re then given 3 shades of concealing crème in addition to a Color Corrector, Moisture Primer Lotion, Cover Stick, Vitamin Beauty Stick, blending sponges, camouflage brush and a travel case. I’m generally a medium-beige in foundation so I went with the Light Combo, which includes Light Beige, Medium Beige & Dark Beige concealing crèmes. That was a mistake! I gave the Light Beige away, the Medium Beige was way to light and the Dark Beige would be my correct color if it didn’t have such strong red undertones. That said I was still able to work with the kit since it’s all about mixing and blending to achieve your perfect shade. Especially since it can be used from head (to cover acne, age spots, birthmarks, uneven skin tone, wrinkles) to toe (spider veins, tattoos, scars). Be cautioned though if you tend to be medium tone go for the Darker combo (which includes Golden Tan, Dark Beige, & Deep Beige concealing crème), I have a feeling the Golden Tan would have been my perfect shade.
Take Cover With Smart Cover
Summer in full sweltering swing, and clothing choices are being whittled down to what’s going to keep you the coolest, which equals: Short-shorts, skirts, dresses, and bikinis. Lots ‘o leg action happening! But unless you’re Gisele Bundchen and being followed around by a personal airbrusher, you probably deal with scars, spider veins, stretch marks, sun damage, and/or some other skin issue. Which, really, whatever. We’re all human! But sometimes it would be nice to not have to rock that big fat bruise on your shin when you’re wearing a mini shirt, right? In comes Smart Cover, the easy-to-apply concealer that covers and is water-proof, smudge-proof, and sweat-proof. It’s used by two-time Academy Award nominee and renowned Hollywood make-up artist Christina Smith. She uses the product on celeb clients including Julia Roberts, Gisele Bundchen (oh hey!), Ali Larter, and many more.
Smart Cover
I’m fascinated with concealers . They have a multitude of uses that really help bring out a person’s inner confidence by correcting a flaw such as a scar, birthmark, or more common, dark eye circles, just to name a few.
I recently had the opportunity to try a wonderful concealing product called Smart Cover developed by camouflage expert Flori Roberts, and Nancy Roberts.
Smart Cover Cosmetics has a nice array of products that target concealing, anti- aging, and everything else you need to create a flawless look. The instruction brochure by Hollywood Make-up Artist, Christina Smith, teaches you how to use the product with ease, along with lots of other interesting information.

All you need is Smart Cover, a New Jersey-based cosmetics company that’s come up with the perfect secret weapon for camouflaging anything on your face and body, from acne and age spots to blotches and blemishes, with everything in between, like wrinkles, dark eye circles, and even tattoos!
Smart Cover Hollywood Makeup Artist Kit ~ The Collection That Hides Your Flaws!
If there's one thing I rarely leave the house without, it's my foundation makeup. Unfortunately, I have been plagued by a bout of acne on my left cheek for the last 20 years. This area just refuses to clear up and I have acne scarring and redness on my best days and on my worst, it's an all-out mess! I've tried numerous foundations and cover sticks to try and disguise this flaw, but I have never really been happy with the results. So when I came across Smart Cover makeup and they were willing to allow me to try the Hollywood Make-Up Artist Kit, I jumped at the chance!

Smart Tan
I have always loved a little glow on my cheeks in the summer. But... as I've gotten older, I've become more aware and much more scared of the sun's rays. I need to be smart, not only with my sons and husband... but with myself, too. I've been scouring for some great "tanning" alternatives this summer. I've done the spray... quite frankly, I'm not happy with the streaks I got. It looked good for a day - and then... NOT SO GOOD. My legs looked like they were peeling and I was orange.
So... I got smart and started trying some other things. Seriously... no pun intended, I tried Smart Tan.

Get smart and cover up!
Here in Chrissy’s Beauty School, I believe you all are beautiful. But let’s be honest girls, there’s always some imperfection you’d like to hide from the world, right? It happens to all of us: We get a pimple, we bump into something and get a nasty bruise, or that time in the sun gives us so many freckles that we risk looking like a cheetah.
Now the question is, how do you cover up these problem areas? You could use whatever concealer you have lying around the house or you could just ignore the problem in the first place. Or you could take a hint from the pros and use Smart Cover, a water-proof, smudge-proof and sweat-proof concealer.

SMART COVER® was created to help you hide all of nature’s imperfections. It is more than ordinary makeup and will be your secret to looking and feeling great every day. Smart Cover has been used by thousands of satisfied customers and is recommended by Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons around the world.
Hide Blemishes, Conceal Tattoos with Smart Cover Camouflage Makeup
Smart Cover make-up is more than just cover-up — it is a concealing system. A crafty collection of crèmes and sticks, Smart Cover is the perfect combination to turn your face into a clear palette.
I love how the process starts with a Moisture Primer Lotion, which preps your skin for the Concealing Crème and creates an invisible layer of moisture. The next step is the concealing crème, which covers everything — and I mean EVERYTHING. No blemish, mark, spot, wrinkle, or even tattoo is a match for this crème. This cover-up can be used anywhere on your body to cover bruises and those dreaded stretch marks.
Head-to-Toe Best Beach Beauty Round-up Must Haves, July 2010
Summer puts different stresses on your skin and hair than the cold months.
More of your skin and hair is bared and the little details all matter, like a fresh manicure, pedicure and callus-free feet. Skin-tone and clarity is key, as less makeup is usually worn and skin cannot hide as in colder months.
Keeping your largest organ and epidermis healthy and looking good is not effortless and takes a bit of planning. But selecting the right product for the job makes the entire grooming process a breeze if you are armed with knowledge. You also don't have to spend a fortune doing this.
Smart Cover-Up Kit Giveaway!
It is time, or has been time for most, to start showin' off those legs and sometimes thighs (maybe a lil' bit more perhaps?).. But would if you have hideous spider veins or worse, huge thick acne or moles? Well, I am not too sure that Smart Cover-Up helps conceal those horrid moles, but it is suppose to help cover blemishes in a pinch!
Perfect Touch Camouflage Crème: Under Eye Cover Up
Dark, under-eye circles are our greatest enemy. And while lack of sleep and the go-go-go lifestyle can definitely be attributed to their presence, the unfortunate truth is that they’re often hereditary. So even if you’re able to cram in 10 hours of sleep a night, your face might not look so well rested. We’ve battled under eye circles for years, and have found that the best cocktail for making them less visible is eye cream and concealer.
Smart Cover Review
I have a lot of freckles and dark circles under my eyes. I have been working on ways to cover them up. I found Smart Cover and it works great on me. I use the light beige and it a nice color for my skin tone I did do some blending with the light and medium beige and it is a perfect match. My freckles and my dark circles are completely covered and my skin looks flawless. This is a thicker cream but it’s not chalky or uncomfortable it goes on smooth.

Have you ever watched an Infomercial on TV and see something do the impossible which leaves you feeling very skeptical that it can really do what it claims to do? I know that happens to me a lot. Some products really do what they say they can do where as others are just a bunch of "smoke and mirrors" and TV trickery with special effects. Sometimes the only way to believe that something truly works is to actually try it out for yourself.

Summer essentials for your skin
Before you step out to get your summer glow on the beach or by the pool, make sure you take care of your skin. I wanted to make it simple and take the guess work out of which products to purchase, so I have lined up my favorites to share with you.
Sun-Kissed for Summer: Readers' Secrets
What is sexy? It's hard to define because the answers are infinite. In between responses like, "bikinis" and "life guards," for the summer, at least, you are sure to hear this answer pop-up over and over again: "the sun-kissed look." The wording might not always be exactly the same, but "sun-kissed" is the idea. As beautiful and alluring as the summer glow can appear at first, obtaining a true sun-kissed look is damaging over time. A scaly ,sunburned face and body from laying out and dry, damaged hair from bleaching and salon (pricey!) highlights do not make for a pretty sight. More importantly, it's a sign that you're headed down a road of poor health.
Conceal ALL Summer Long
Is this one of your nightmares: having a MAJOR breakout the day you’re supposed to go to the beach or pool with someone you don’t feel 100% comfortable with? You accepted the fact that you won’t wear makeup on a summer day while swimming, but you weren’t expecting your skin to look so awful. Or maybe you have a little tattoo you don’t want your parents to see like one of my friends who meticulously covers her tattoos every time she is in a bathing suit.
Cover It!
No matter how hard we try to get perfect skin, there will still be days when it wants to be temperamental. Do I hideout at home or opt for a better solution?
Acne and blemishes aren't fun but I've found something that works like a charm. Smart Cover is a non-comedogenic, waterproof, creamy and smooth concealer. It also magically(and temporarily) erases tattoos!
OK - so I'm far from perfect - Smart Cover
While I'm WAY past the days of acne and breakouts, I've come to another stage in life that needs covering up. I have dark circles under my eyes, sun/age spots and skin that has become mottled (and VERY ugly), so I feel a real camaraderie with teenagers getting ready for prom with that big zit that appears out of nowhere.
It’s A Spring Thing
When I think of spring, I think “time to get a fresh start” – on the closets, the clothes, the kitchen cabinets – everything in the house needs spring cleaning. This month, I’m applying the same attitude to my skin, “out with the old, in with the new.” And the same goes for our lips… haven’t they’ve suffered the same winter fate as the rest of our bodies, if not worse? If your lips need a little extra TLC, read on.
Smart Tan Review
I just need to face it… I am hella white.
I have been told how white I am my whole life, and I am sure it does not help that I have dark hair. The contrast between my hair and skin is like night and day… and all I ever want is a good tan. A tan that is natural and easy to maintain.

Mother's Day Giveaway: Smart Tan
Time to get your tan on! If you are like me, I no longer go to tanning salons and get baked nor do I lay out in the sun with baby oil on. No, that is in the past and my skin is very upset with me that I use to do that. So, I am trying to do right with my skin and just use sunless tanners and bronzers on my skin. Smart Tan is a new product that gives your face, legs and body an instant, natural looking suntan, without the aging effects of the sun! Sounds great, right?!?
