Hi Sophie,

I agree with Khoa that because the henna stain is a transparent one,
the resulting stains will be different tones depending on the skin
beneath. I would expect the lighter skin to produce the lighter
stain. But I think with some creative designing meant to incorporate
the change in tones, you could have good results. But what I don't
know if whether or not there is and particular extra sensitivity of
the skin that has lost the pigmentation. I have a cousin with
vitiligo and I know the special make up that is prescribe for her is
very thick and very opaque so that she can get evenness of skin tone
when applying it. Her face and neck is were she has been most
affected. The specially prescribed face make up is necessary because
nothing over the counter is thick or opaque enough to provide
coverage. So with henna stains I am sure the variation in tone
beneath would variate the stain as well. Of course this is all just
a guess.
