It’s a very small invisibility cloak.

Yup, I was expecting a picture something along the lines of the Elven cloak that Sam used to hid Frodo in LOTR.

Then I read that the bump was 1 micrometre in height :D

I'd have trouble seeing that even without the cloak!

Yes but with the cloak you cannot see it. :D

So, the answer is to make the thing you want to hide 1 micrometer in size, and then throw the cloak over it.

The cosmetic industry will be interested.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

LOL! Why spend hours on cream trying in vain to get those spots to disappear?

Just cover them up instead!
