Vitiligo is a condition that causes gradual loss of skin colour. It is not contagious or infectious, and its development cannot be predicted. It affects both men and women, regardless of their age.

At present there are no lasting treatments, at best they enable skin colour to return temporarily. Vitiligo can have a major psychological impact on the affected person, and reduce their quality of life.

MAKE UP FOR EVER has partnered with Association Française du Vitiligo since 2018, the missions of which are to bring those affected together, give them information and support them, and contribute to research into the disorder. MAKE UP FOR EVER organises masterclasses in its Academy that are specially designed for people with Vitiligo. The brand’s makeup artists teach them techniques to tone down or fully mask areas that have lost colour, and how to highlight their best features. These masterclasses aim to help people find renewed self-confidence, learn to like their differences, and feel attractive and unique.

Today visible skin conditions, including vitiligo, are part of the training MAKE UP FOR EVER gives all its students in the MAKE UP FOR EVER ACADEMY. This approach means all Make Up For Ever makeup artists that you’ll meet at SEPHORA or in our stores have been trained to provide solutions for the specific needs of those with vitiligo.
