A bandage assembly for concealing a section of skin on a person comprising:
- (a) a segment of adhesive tape for attachment to (i) said section of skin and (ii) skin outwardly adjacent said section, said skin having a predetermined coloration, and said segment of tape having a top surface and a periphery;
- and
- (b) a layer of make-up having a coloration that matches the coloration of said skin, said layer covering said top surface and periphery of the tape and the skin outwardly adjacent said section of skin and said periphery, thereby concealing said section of skin and the segment of adhesive tape, said tape having a texture that retains the layer of make-up and a thinness that permits the assembly to blend with the skin at said periphery.
A method of concealing a section of skin on a person comprising

A kit for concealing a section of skin on a person comprising a packaged combination:
- (a) a container containing a flowable make-up whose coloration matches the coloration of the section of skin;
- and
- (b) a segment of adhesive tape that is sized and shaped to overlie said section, said tape having a top surface having a texture that allows the tape to retain said make-up when it is applied thereto and said tape having a thinness that permits the tape to blend with said section of skin when the tape is covered with a layer of the make-up.
