Katie Piper's Face To Face

Channel 4 presenter Katie Piper talks to people with skin conditions at London's Harvey Nichols for special makeovers, performed by glamorous makeup artists who share the same facial condition. The programme is called Face to Face. Let us know you views on the programme or your thoughts about skin conditions on Twitter @WeAreSRUK

In 2008 Katie Piper had sulphuric acid thrown in her face with devastating consequences. Since then she has tried to help other people with facial differences because, she said, society takes everyone at face value. “Make-up should be used as a tool to make you feel good … to empower you, give you control and confidence."
