Vitiligo

Coverage on your terms, if you want it.
Makeup does not treat vitiligo or restore lost colour.

What it is

Vitiligo causes areas of skin to lose their colour. It can look different from person to person and may affect different parts of the body. A dermatologist or doctor can help diagnose it and talk through treatment options.

Vitiligo is not something you need to hide. Some people choose makeup to soften the contrast between lighter patches and the surrounding skin. Others prefer not to cover them. Either choice is personal.

Makeup does not treat vitiligo or restore lost skin colour. Results depend on the product, how you apply it and your individual skin tone. A shade tool can be a starting point, but it may not predict how a product looks over a vitiligo patch.

Skin affected by vitiligo can burn more easily, so ask your healthcare professional about sun protection.

Coverage considerations

Choosing whether to cover

Covering is a personal choice. If you do, test a small area first and check the shade in natural light.

Getting help with camouflage

A dermatologist or a trained skin camouflage service can help you choose and apply camouflage products. The NHS describes skin camouflage as one option for people with vitiligo.

Realistic results

The result varies with skin tone, patch colour and application. The shade finder is a guide, not a guaranteed match.
