Bed bug bites tend to happen on exposed areas whilst you’re asleep - face, neck, arms and legs are vulnerable. Typically a bed bug bite is usually red, itchy, and can appear in clusters or in a line on the skin. However, bed bug bites on Black and brown skin may not always show up angry and bright red, rather the skin can look purplish, flush a deeper brown or very dark red.

Colour correcting is the next step of the process, for which Adenuga recommends using an orange or peach toned corrector, and applying small amounts with a small, fluffy brush to the affected areas and gently blending out the edges. After colour correcting, apply a medium coverage foundation using a stippling technique, building coverage and focusing more on the areas with hyperpigmentation on Black skin.
