Beard in Hiding

One good thing about getting old is that my beard turned gray and that eliminated the need to use a beard cover. When my beard was dark, I used a beard cover on the muzzle of my face --- RCMA beard cover BC2 from Alcone. It is expensive, but lasts forever; in fact, I never used up the tub of beard cover I bought years ago.

I recommend orange beard cover (BC2) and not some other color because blue is the color you are trying to hide. To hide blue, you use blue’s complementary color, which is orange. (Blue and orange are opposite each other on the color wheel.)

If you use another color of beard cover, it may look like it is doing the job when you look in your mirror, but have your picture taken and you will still see blue in your photos. Only orange beard cover gets rid of the blues in both your mirror and your photos.

After a close shave using a shaving gel (like Edge) and a multi-blade manual razor (like Gilette's Fusion), I apply the beard cover to my muzzle. Then I apply my usual foundation over the beard cover. If you use a moisturizer and/or a primer (like I do), those should go on before the beard cover, that is, put on moisturizer, primer, beard cover and foundation, in that order. (Mom never told me how complicated being a girl can be!)
