If you feel up to it, putting on some make up can help you feel better about how you look.  If you feel too tired or can’t be bothered, maybe ask a friend to help.


what can help?

  • If your radiotherapy is to your face then it's best not to wear make up.
  • Try using concealer to even out your skin if it’s a bit patchy. You could also use tinted moisturisers.
  • If your eyebrows have thinned you can use an eyebrow pencil.
  • A bit of blusher can really make you feel and look healthier - experiment with colours.
  • Eyeliner makes your eyes look fuller and brighter.
  • Treatment can make your lips dry and cracked. A lip salve is essential. Try to get one with a sun protection factor.
