How Celebs Deal with Hyperpigmentation

Makeup Matters: Sure, you can use movie-grade cover-up and camouflage foundation like Dermablend Cover Creme to hide your hyperpigmentation, but summer is about wearing less. You want to avoid any melted beauty blunders, after all.

"Sometimes, I just use a peach waterproof eyeliner directly onto the hyperpigmentation on dry skin, let it set and go about with my normal tinted moisturizer or foundation, then add bronzer," suggested celeb makeup artist Suzie Kim. "A dewy finish refracts light better than a matte finish."
If you're in need of more coverage, keep in mind a peach-colored concealer. If you have a darker complexion, go more orange. If the pigmentation is redder in hue, try a green-ish cover-up. 

Reminder: This color-correcting step is meant to cover your pigmentation—not your skin—which should then be met with a foundation that matches your natural skin tone.

 The Stronger Stuff Helps: If makeup ain't cutting it, you can always go the medicinal route.

"There are a number of modalities that can help reverse hyperpigmentation," said Dr. Glenn Vallecillos, of celeb haven DMH Aesthetics "Among the most common are bleaching or fading creams, with ingredients such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, azelaic acid and retinoids. Additionally, light therapies such as IPL, or intense pulse light therapy, can accelerate the reversal of hyperpigmentation."
A hero ingredient in the skin-care industry, retinol is often used in products to help promote collagen production and fade discoloration, among other skin-booting effects. However, it doesn't always work. "If retinol by itself is ineffective, a bleaching regimen is the next line treatment, which, in our office, includes a combination of retinol, hydroquinone and kojic acid," noted Dr. Vallecillos. "This is typically very effective in reversing and or eradicating hyperpigmentation."

Makeup Tutorial: How to Use Color Correcting Makeup

In the age of contouring, strobing and root-stamping, it seems our standard, pat makeup processes are getting upgrades. Every five minutes, someone is discovering a new way to improve how we dress up our faces. The latest and greatest upgrade comes in the form of a concealer—more specifically, multiple concealers. Instead of using one uniform nude concealer to cover all of our skin concerns, beauty lovers have adopted color-correctors. Formulated in various vibrant shades of purple, green, yellow, orange, etc., each color tackles a specific skin concern and works to neutralize the area using fancy, strategic color theory (think of  those cool color wheels you played with in grade school). Now we can go on all day about the hows and whys of color-correcting, but we’ve already done that here.
