I'm going to a party but I have to wear short sleeves and I haven't got any bracelets that I'd usually wear, most of my bracelets are really just be 'loom bands' that I made. They don't help since it's my upper arm. Best ways to hide them with makeup?

to conceal them just use the palest concealer you have, and ways to make them fade (I've been researching, I don't want to have to wear jumpers all summer) you can put a tiny but of olive oil or aloe vera on them daily :) hope it helps

I use powder foundation, liquid foundation, a concealer, and a specific powder makeup to cover and heal scars. I took my sister and I about an hour to cover up my recent cuts and when we were finished they were still partially visible, but much better than they would've been without the makeup.

A shit ton of concealer, foundation and powder. Bracelets won't hurt if you have any on your lower arm. There's absolutely no way you can wear some sort of hoodie or sweater? Whenever people ask me why I'm wearing a hoodie in summer I make a joke about "fighting fire with fire" or say I don't want to get sunburned :/
To fade them, try rubbing aloe vera and/or olive oil. It might take a while, but I'm sure it's worth it.

Im a guy, but i know quite a bit when it comes to make up. First you want to get 2 shades of liquid foundation. One slightly darker than the other. First lightly apply the dark one in a dabbing motion over the scars. Once dried a bit (not completely) apply the lighter shade in the same manner. Once both have dried take a very thin coat of the light one and an even thinner coat of the dark and blend in a circular motion. Use a cotton ball to achieve soft edges where the skin and make up meet. Blend until smooth. When dry, use a matte powder over top.

Foundation can work well. Put on liquid foundation before, then powder over that to seal it. Hopefully that works. If not, then you'll just have to wear long sleeves.

Try using menderma or coco butter to help them fade and heal
