The present invention teaches how to change the skin color perception, mainly the facial color from red, blue or yellow to white appearance, using quantum and optical principles. By selecting the right size and material of particles compounded in cosmetic preparations and applying the preparations to the skin, the scattering and/or emission from micro- and nanoparticles can provide a complementary color or in proximity to that complementary color of the skin color. The mixture of the color provided by the particles and the reflected color from the skin will whiten the skin or make inconspicuous of the hyperchromic portion of the skin. The invention can also be used for other applications in which the particles can be applied to a surface or blended into a material, such as, for example, automobile paint, house paint, glass color and nail polish.
