Hi guys. I got a photoshoot tomorrow and knucklehead me just got a scrape/cut on my forehead probably about half and inch long. Do you have any idea how I could safely cover it up that it doesn't show much, but also doesn't interfere with healing?

Hair, hats, hands, Photoshop.  I wouldn't put gunk into it.

I wouldn't worry about it.  That's why there's Photoshop.

If you feel you must use makeup to cover it up, I would use some liquid bandage first. They sell it at Walmart and just about any pharmacy. Just be sure to put a good amount on, let it dry completely, use concealer, then foundation, then powder. Otherwise, I would just use a hat or use your hair to cover it up.

You may want to do a test spot or try the liquid bandage the day before... liquid bandage on me for some reason irritates cuts more and doesn't really help heal it... (there must be some ingredient in it that doesn't work for me...)

The professional approach would be to consult a qualified MUA and if nothing can be done to remedy the problem short of Photoshop then reschedule.
