Issues with Redness/Pink face???

Okay....

Red/Pink face is not Cool! Your face is the 1st thing people notice. So show it with

CONFIDENCE at all times!

My face/body is one big'ol white patch, so I have to be very very careful...lol. As I lost pigment, I never wore makeup to conceal my vitiligo and I dreaded using "sun block" on my face due to the thickness, greasyness and beach smell..so guess what? I had red/pink face for the longest.

Luckily, One day someone helped me at the mall to embrace and enhance my natural beauty and to get rid of that red/pink face I dreaded! This is what I use to conceal the pinkness..lol

1. I Use Olay Complete sensitive skin moisturizer w/SPF 15 all over my face

2. I use MAC cosmetics Prep/Prime Face Protect w/ spf 50 on area that get the pinkest (under my eye, cheeks, forehead)

3. I use MAC cosmetics Studio Fix N3 Foundation. ---- This is in a compact and I apply really light

4. I use MAC cosmetics concealer NW20 w/ spf 35 --- THIS CONCEALS THE PINKNESS and it match my beautiful Ivory skin very well.

5. I use MAC cosmetics Blot Press Powder -- This sets my concealer for the PINKNESS.

6. I use MAC cosmetics Bronzer -- This give a slight glow. A light tint of a tan. It knocks out the porcelain look. So I don't look to washed out. It just an option

7. I GO IN FOR THE KILL..lol. Lips and Eyes :- )

8. Last but not least remember YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, so take care of yourself and love yourself!

Do not let your vitiligo paralyze you from doing anything.

Thanks Ciney! I am going to try this method (even though I like to keep it much simpler) and see how I like it and how it feels on my face. I have been using Bare Minerals for my foundation because it gives my more of an even tone and it extremely light weight. I will admit that when I laugh, smile etc then I still turn pink or red in certain areas so I will definitely give it a try! Thanks for the info!

Whats good Divas?

Anyone know any good discount sites for make up (MAC)?
I had to shop e-bay for one item. I'm now using MACs Studio Sculpt Founfation instead of the foundation in the compact case. I got a sample which I'm sure anyone can do, but MAC sold out of the NW20 in this item and I almost had a fit...lol. anyway e-bay saved me, but if you beautiful Divas know a better place let me know.

  Usually like once a year- typically around Christmas- MAC does the Friends & Family discount for about 20%. This is the time of year when I stock up! I'll order about 5 compacts of foundation with the discount, which is often more than enough to last me until the next discount event.

Mmmmmm. I love me some MAC.
I use an SPF 50+ on my face plus moisturizer, then I use the MAC StudioFix in NC 20 (I may have to take it down to 15, soon). The best part is, I have had so many people say, "You are so lucky you don't have vitiligo on your face."
Ha ha! Oh, but I do. But thanks to MAC's fancy spackle, my secret is safe :-)

And ALWAYS go in for the kill with lips and eyes. MAC PlushGlass rocks my socks.
