Dermacol foundation is an amazing makeup foundation that offers superior cover and will help you camouflage acne, freckles, moles and even tattoos . In fact, this cover up makeup helped me so much with my vitiligo.

Even though it has been around for over 50 years, the popular Czech cosmetic brand Dermacol isn’t yet a household name. And it definitely should be! After their initial success in the early 1960’s, the company formed a few important partnerships with dermatologists and experts in beauty and film to craft a superior makeup line.

Vitiligo is a disease that causes the loss of skin color in blotches. It happens when the cells that produce melanin stop functioning or die off. I didn’t experience vitiligo until my early 30s and the onset was gradual. It started off in my hands and neck and then spread to several large patches on my face and back. On top of that, I had some acne scaring left over from my teenage years and huge, dark under eye circles that nothing seemed to cover. All of this left me feeling so self-conscious and really sad, especially when I wanted to dress up to go out or for special occasions.

I started looking into cover up makeup to help dissimulate the look of my imperfections and tried many products on the market. In this Dermacol review, I will share a little info on the ones I used and tell you about the good, the bad, and the really amazing:

Dermacol vs Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation

This is Kat Von D’s best-selling foundation collection. It comes in a lot of different shades, which as awesome. This is makeup to cover tattoos and it’s specifically branded as such. This makeup really, really covers well. However, it’s a little too matte and cakey and dries out my skin a lot. Also, the formula oxidized and turned orange rather quickly in the bottle.

Dermacol vs Dermablend Professional Cover Crème

Dermablend is a formula that has been around for some time, but it seems their formula has changed. I remember using it a long time ago with really good results for some acne coverage. This time, however it was sub-par! It felt like really thick, grease paint that hardly had any coverage. It definitely did not cover my vitiligo and did not stay put for more than a couple hours. It transfers onto anything that touches your face or hands too!

Make Up For Ever Full Cover Extreme Camouflage Cream

This has good full coverage that doesn’t alter the shade to be too light or too cakey. This concealer lasts long hours through the day, doesn’t rub off easily and is waterproof. I had to use two layers to provide adequate coverage, but didn’t have any problems with it ‘melting’ off my face.

Dermacol Make-Up Cover Foundation

Dermacol Makeup Cover is a full coverage foundation. It is a waterproof foundation makeup and it provides really intense coverage, but still lets you have a natural finish to the skin. The formula is made up of 50 % pigment and is very opaque, which is how it offers so much coverage. Dermacol is great for camouflaging the vitiligo on my face neck and even my hands and completely neutralizing dark under eye circles and thoroughly. Even, Dermacol works great for covering scars. The only downfall of the Dermacol Makeup Cover is that it doesn’t offer a ton of shades, but I was able to find one that suited me nicely.
