Iv used veil makeup for three years but lately iv stopped and started using a tinted moisturiser. Makes my vitiligo blend right in but iv have lost most my pigmentation.
I use regular foundation in 2 colors and blend. Depending on skin tone you could use just 1 color that's in between your skin tone and the depigmented skin which might be easier than trying to match the light areas w/o leaving a darker border around the light area.
Once got makeup done w/ airbrushed foundation and it covered pretty well too.
its better to get depigmentation done if u have it on yor face so that there is no tentions to cover yor patches for yor face or yor arms n legs .u just get nice uniform color and care free life with no more botheration of makeup any more.
I find make up very heavy. And in the summer, which is when my vitiligo bothers me the most, sewating and swimming just make the use of foundation impossible and impracticable.
I like BB cream that are tinted. They do not cover up all but they kind of camouflage the skin...make it less obvious without it looking like I have an inch of foundation on.
When I do go out and I want to feel confident, I will wear foundation. I cannot remember the name of the brand though. I can check and get back to you.
Try Microskin concealer they claim it lasts for 1 week. I have not tried it but going to order it soon. There are two centres in U.S. and also in Europe, Australia and Turkey.
I have not had good success with makeup to cover up the vit on my arms and legs..but on my face I use tattoo cover up by Mehron which I discovered on Amazon. I use a small amount on the vitiligo and then use long wearing foundation from Sephora (10 hour coverage). I have tried many brands and this works for me because I live in very hot and humid Houston, and this makeup stays on better. The Mehron is like clay but I am vain and it works. Hope this helps.
Gina the best that I have come across and have used is Dermablend. They make a cover for hands and legs. You can go the their website and it is pretty simple to order by shade. Give it a try and let me know how you make out.

you are lucky you being a female is easy for you to use make up and cover up creams/lotion because females use make up anyways
for a male like me we are screw make up is not an option very patchy on the hands and face.. make us look very bad

Does the Dermablend rub off on clothes at all?
