무엇보다도 비싼 제품 필요 없이 백반부위 커버 가능하다고 해서 소개해 봅니다.
지금 소개하고자 하는 방식은 따라하기 쉬울 뿐 아니라 경제적이기도 합니다. 그럼 시작해 보죠
준비물
1. 다리 각질제거
먼저 다리를 면도하고 바디스크럽으로 문질러 줍니다. 화장품 등이 잘 스며들도록 하기 위한 거예요
2. 태닝로션 바르기
자, 이제 당신이 기숙사에서 공부만 한 것이 아니라 세인트 바트에서 주말을 보낸 것처럼 보이게 할 기회입니다. 어차피 여름이니까, 다리 각질을 제거한 후 가짜로 선탠을 합니다.
만일 원하지 않으시면 이 단계는 건너 뛰셔도 됩니다.
3. 파운데이션이나 컨실러 섞기
파운데이션이나 컨실러 중 선택에 따라 커버 능력이 다를 수 있어요. 만일 가벼운 파운데이션을 사용하고 있다면 좀 두꺼운 컨실러를 함께 사용하는 것이 좋고, 커버능력이 우수한 파운데이션을 사용하고 있다면 피부색과 유사한 색상을 만들어 내기 위해 다른 색의 파운데이션과 믹스하는 것이 좋습니다
.
4. 잘 두들기기
파운데이션이나 컨실러를 잘 섞었으면 뷰티 블렌더를 이용해 백반부위에 잘 펴 바르세요
5. 덧바르기
파운데이션이나 컨실러 바른 부위가 다 마를 때까지 기다린 후, 필요할 경우 한번 더 파운데이션이나 컨실러를 발라 주세요.
6. 고정시키기
커버한 상태가 괜찮다 싶으면 해당 부위에 헤어스프레이를 한번 살짝 뿌려 줍니다. 물론 헤어스프레이는 라카와 알코올이 함유되어 있으므로 얼굴에 뿌리면 안되지만 팔과 다리에는 괜찮습니다. 저녁 때에는 메이크업 리무버나 화장물티슈로 지워주세요
커버 전 후 비교
왼쪽 다리에 백반부위가 있었는데, 정상인 오른쪽 다리와 차이가 없어 보입니다.
If you have vitiligo, you’ll likely understand when I say that the summer season can be filled with dread. Thud. Thud. Thud. Hear that? It’s the sound of my heart rate rocketing. It's around this time that figuring out how to cover vitiligo patches on your arms and legs might feel of utmost importance. Unlike those easy days in the winter, during which you can carelessly pile on layer after layer, the weather picking up most often means that your attention turns to clothing that will help keep you cool.
Shorts? Yep. Skirts? Naturally. Sleeveless shirts? You bet. Of course, the downside to this is those not-so-subtle vitiligo patches that are lurking on your limbs. For many of us, they’re the cause of far too much worrying and endless cursing at summer dresses that are just far too "revealing." I know the feeling. I’ve been there. Particularly when I’m attempting to get dressed up for a summertime occasion. Take weddings or a festival, for instance. No thanks.
That’s why I’ve put together a flaw-proof way to conceal them. Not only is it easy to do — take it from someone who often gets eyeliner and cream eyeshadow muddled up — but it’s also affordable. Unlike some tutorials for which you need specialist products like leg and body cover-up cream, this how-to includes basic cosmetics you’ll already own. Let’s get started.
What You’ll Need
To conceal vitiligo patches on your arms and legs, you’ll need the following.
- Razor
- Body scrub
- Fake tanning lotion
- Your usual foundation or concealer
- A foundation or concealer that’s two shades darker than your usual one
- Beauty Blender
- Hairspray
1. Prep Your Legs
Start by preparing your legs or arms. Just like your face, the products you're going to apply will have an even finish if there’s nothing getting in their way. This could be anything from hair to chapped, dry skin.
Typically when I use this beauty hack, I’ll shave the area I want to cover before applying a body scrub to exfoliate the skin.
2. Create A Glow
Chances are you want to look like you’ve spent the weekend at St. Bart's, as opposed to cooped up in your dorm studying. It’s summer, after all. once I’ve exfoliated my skin, I start faking a glow.
As I live in England, where our standard weather is gray and dismal, and I’m thoroughly against tanning beds, for me this involves fake tanning lotion. That said, if you don’t mind looking a little pasty or happen to live someplace sunny anyway, then feel free to skip this step.
3. Mix Together Your Foundations Or Concealers
Whether you use foundation or concealer will depend on the products' coverage. Those who have a lightweight foundation might want to use their concealer, since typically it will be thicker and offer a bulkier build. How else is it suppose to tackle acne and blemishes?
On the other hand, if your foundation is already high coverage, opt for that. Here, I’m mixing two foundations together to create a similar color to my pins.
4. Dab, Dab, Dab Away
Once you’ve mixed together your foundation or concealer, grab your Beauty Blender. You can either use the original or a thrifty DIY alternative.
Pop some of the product onto the blender before dabbing it on the patch you’re trying to conceal. Aim to do this in a stippling motion, as opposed to large sweeps. This will allow you to build coverage if needed.
5. Add Another Layer
Wait until the first coat of foundation or concealer is dry. If you feel it’s necessary, then you can add another, like I’m doing here.
6. Set It In Place
Once you’re happy with the coverage, set everything in place with a squirt of hairspray. Although hairspray shouldn’t be applied on your face since it contains lacquers and alcohol that can dry out skin, it’s OK to use it on your arms and legs. Just make sure you remove it with makeup remover or a face wipe once the evening is over.
Before And After
And there we have it: An easy way to cover vitiligo patches for a summer event. As you can see from the photo above, my vitiligo patches on my left leg are pretty much hidden.
Sure, it’s not a long-term fix, but it does the job and will hopefully give you a boost of confidence for your special occasion. Whether you're attending a wedding, BBQ, or summertime drinks on a roof top bar, you can now enjoy getting ready.
