While makeup is always an inevitable option to conceal those embarrassing scars, there are other innovative ways too to hide stretch marks.

Go for a good concealer that helps conceal the stretch marks on the stomach and also hides the appearance of purple and red marks if any. Rapid weight gain or loss, pregnancy and certain hormonal changes lead to stretch marks that are prominent and quite stubborn to easily fade away.

Therefore, go for a good quality concealer that does not run into your clothes and fade away easily making your stretch marks visible.

You can rely upon tanning to cover up your stretch marks. While natural tanning helps hide the marks, too much of exposure can damage your skin. So don’t be under the sun for too long.

You can also take help of spray tans and make your stretch marks look less obvious. However do not try this on your own, instead seek help of a professional who’ll carefully apply the tan by hand.

And neither of the above option looks convenient for you then the best you can do is go for an outfit that strategically hides your marks.
