pale faced

Hi I was diagnosed with SLE Lupus a year ago and am currently taking hydroxchloroquine .

Does anyone else looked washed out all of the time. I used to have a good skin complexion but most of the time now I look pale and sickly.

Has anyone any ideas on a light sensitive skin make up which may improve my colour without causing a reaction (face skin doesn’t take kindly to make up lol).

Im similar, I also have panda eyes with black rings. I mostly use Clinique makeup, usually concealer and a bit of blusher , doesn’t make alot of difference 🙄. I don’t want to wear full makeup , buy also would like to look less washed out. Im interested to see what advice you get . Best wishes x

I can’t recommend IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC cream highly enough.. it has SPF 50 and other skin care products in it and my skin loves it even though I’m usually reactive. It isn’t cakey at all. You buff it in with a brush.
