Buildable coverage for a birthmark that is part of your story. Choose how much you want to cover, without a promise of a perfect or identical result.
What it is
A port-wine stain is a vascular birthmark caused by differences in the small blood vessels beneath the skin. It may appear pink, red or purple and can change in colour or texture over time. Makeup offers temporary camouflage; it does not remove the birthmark or change the underlying vessels.
Coverage considerations
Different depths of colour
A pink area and a deeper purple area may need different amounts of coverage. Results depend on the birthmark, shade match and application.
A shade that blends
Match Foundation to the surrounding complexion rather than the colour of the birthmark. Check the blend in natural daylight.
Realistic expectations
Makeup can soften the visible colour difference, but it cannot guarantee complete concealment or make raised texture disappear.
Coverage informed by lived experience
Aspilon was founded by Matthias De Potter, who was born with a port-wine stain. Our Foundation offers buildable medium-to-full coverage for visible skin differences. Start with Foundation for deeper discolouration. CC Cream is an optional first step for visible redness, not a guaranteed correction for purple tones.
How to apply
-
Prepare and match
Apply to intact skin after your usual skincare has settled. Choose the Foundation shade closest to the surrounding complexion.
-
Apply a thin first layer
Press a small amount of Foundation onto the area with a damp sponge or brush. Blend outwards at the edges without repeatedly rubbing.
-
Build gradually
Add thin layers only where you want more coverage. After laser treatment, follow your treating clinician's advice on when to resume makeup.
