Skin Camouflage: Creating a Colour Match

To achieve a good result it is important to use the correct technique when applying skin camouflage creams.  

When the surrounding skin is quite uniform then masking the affected area using a cream matched to the surround can be effective.

However, when the surrounding skin is more variable in appearance, skin camouflage application can often require specific techniques that are tailored to both the area you wish to camouflage and the surrounding skin tone and texture. 

In this case skin that’s been perfectly colour matched can sometimes look unnatural when surrounded by natural colour differences, therefore it’s important to mirror what you see.
