    Anything good for covering scars?
    I have some pretty bad eczema scarring on my legs, I apply a good moisturiser to stop flare ups but I still have scars left over from previous flareups.

    I can't afford the more expensive make up brands like the MAC cover up kit, is there anything that would be decent to cover up the scars?

    vichy dermablend will cover ANYTHING including tattoos/moles
    it's so high coverage that in fact i can't use it as a foundation but only as a concealer otherwise my face looks like a mask
    it's £15.50 from boots

    I know it's not strictly what you were asking, but BioOil helps reduce the level of scarring, if used twice a day, but won't get rid of it completely - doesn't matter how old the scar (although it's more effective with newer scars). It's a bit expensive, about £7 for a small pot, but it lasts absolutely ages.

    I'm just looking for a cover up so I can wear skirts/shorts in the summer without the need for tights., I do have prescriptions to fade the scars, biooil wasn't very good for me, it moisturised the skin but not much else.
