Vitiligo

Hi I have had a diagnosis of vitiligo for 10 years now and feel quite lucky as I have only the pigmentation, can become self conscious at times because it's on my face.

Have veil cover make up but find Avon foundation covers it just as well.

Would like to know what others use to cover up, if anything

I have around 65% depigmentation, which has expanded from a smaller area on hands and face over the past 4 decades. Apart from for a few months when I was 5 I have never used anything to cover the depigmented areas, beyond clothing and/or sunscreen to protect the skin from burning.

Seldom attract any unfavourable comments any more, and even when the depigmentation was more noticeable (when there were significant areas of pigmented skin on my face and hands) the attention paid to it was scarcely noticeable.
