One of the amazing people that I met this weekend at the Highland Park Scleroderma Foundation walk was Lisa Helfand, who found me through this blog.  She told me that she was diagnosed with scleroderma 23 years ago and is married with two kids.  She wrote with some tips for concealing her telangectasias.

The concealer that I use is by MAC- it is called “full coverage foundation“-this is the first layer I put on. Next, I use Studio Fix by MAC (second layer) and to finish it off, I use crushed powder by CLINIQUE.  You can only get the full coverage foundation at MAC stores (not MAC counters).

You can also get the cosmetics that Lisa recommends on the internet.  Despite her long-standing illness, Lisa seemed full of energy. She was very open about her struggles with scleroderma. I can vouch for her cosmetic suggestions– I thought she looked great and I couldn’t see her telangectasias at all.
