Suggest Remedy For Noticeable White Line Across The Face

I have a noticable white line starting from under the cheek pad of my left cheek, crossing my nose above the nostrils and carrying onto my right cheek, following the same line as my left cheek (think of a cat face mask)! Make-up doesn t disguise it very effectivlely.
