hi this is when my lupus is covered up .my doctor referred me to changing faces as i was getting depressed with everyone staring at me & avoiding me in case they could catch something.The make up stays on for up to 16 hrs & doesn't come off in water . it takes time to put it on put it gives me confidence to go out with family & friends .

Thanks so much for sharing it with us and wow!

Good for you and hope it makes you feel as great as you look.

Think it might give me a kick up the proverbial to bother with myself as struggling with all the illnesses and being carer for our two disabled kids has made me not bother as much as I should.

You look beautiful, good for you Charmaine it's so important to look after your mental health as well. I'm a member of Lupus Group Northern Ireland and we had Changing Faces give a talk at one of our meetings, they do amazing work.

Well done, your beautiful xx

Stunning. My daughter suffers terribly with eczema and as a child was bullied. She has battled to find cover make up. I rarely use make up but on those special occasions would like to cover my lupus rash. It does pick you up. Thank you for sharing.

They are amazing people at changing faces I never thought I would be able to cover my lupus & for it to last & go swimming with it on . I feel for your daughter children can be very cruel it upset my kids when people would stare I'm so happy now I can go out and my kids are not upset .

Not what you're looking for?
