Port-wine stains

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

1

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.

2

A shade that blends

Match Foundation to the surrounding complexion rather than the colour of the birthmark. Check the blend in natural daylight.

3

Realistic expectations

Makeup can soften the visible colour difference, but it cannot guarantee complete concealment or make raised texture disappear.

Aspilon Cosmetics buildable coverage Foundation for visible skin differences

Our approach

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 we formulate

How to apply

1

Step one

Prepare and match

Apply to intact skin after your usual skincare has settled. Choose the Foundation shade closest to the surrounding complexion.

2

Step two

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.

3

Step three

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.
