Makeup for moles
There are women who may have several moles on their face, that don’t necessarily want to hide all of them. If you are only wanting to conceal one mole on your face, or a specific mole, we suggest applying your usual makeup base, and at the end moisten a cotton swab with a little water and press lightly on the mole that you want to highlight (to remove the base foundation). This way, only that particular birth mark or mole is visible while all others remain hidden.

To cover a mole on a more complicated part of the body, we recommend replacing a liquid foundation for a mineral powder foundation or a pressed mineral makeup. These powders often last longer, especially when on the body.

Mole cream
You can also find hyperpigmentation creams which tone down the color of your moles and birth marks to achieve a more even and unified skin tone. These creams should be applied at night and we always recommend consulting your dermatologist before using these types of lotions, always making sure you choose an appropriate one for your skin tone.
