Short answer
Cinema Secrets Ultimate Foundation in shade 504-28 (Doe). It is a highly pigmented professional cream that the maker says gives complete coverage from a tiny amount, and buyers report using it over scars, rosacea and even tattoos. 504-28 is the maker's medium shade with cool pink and light beige undertones.
Cinema Secrets calls the formula professional-grade and highly concentrated, and says a tiny drop gives complete coverage without looking heavy or cakey. That density is what lets one thin layer hide dark marks.
The maker's directions are to tap it on and build thin layers over the areas that need extra coverage. For a tattoo or a scar, that means a heavier layer on the mark and a lighter one everywhere else.
Cinema Secrets says to set it with its Ultralucent Setting Powder to lock it in place for all-day, transfer-resistant wear. Setting matters most over a tattoo, where any rub-off shows ink.
Cinema Secrets describes 504-28, Doe, as a medium tone with cool pink and light beige undertones, in the middle of its pink-beige 500 Series.

Cinema Secrets doesn't claim it covers tattoos, but says a tiny amount gives complete coverage, and buyers use it to cover tattoos and scars.
Buyers say so: one calls it the only foundation they've found that covers their scars, another says it covers their rosacea and lasts all day.
Cinema Secrets lists it as paraben-free and non-comedogenic. It contains fragrance.
Cinema Secrets says setting it with Ultralucent Setting Powder gives all-day, transfer-resistant wear.
Yes. Dampen your sponge or brush and mix a tiny dot of foundation on the back of your hand for a sheerer, dewier finish.
Cinema Secrets does not list Ultimate Foundation as vegan. It does say it does not test on animals.
If you have medium skin with cool pink undertones and want one cream that covers scars, redness and marks in a thin layer, 504-28 is the shade to get. Set it with powder, and build an extra layer where you need it.
