So when I wake up in the morning my face isn't really red but it's slightly red. But once I apply anything to my face it turns red. I Dab my moisturizer on. And it's lush face drink
I have MUFEs redness correcting primer which help a little but that leaves my skin looking flakey (my skin is dry in spots and this primer makes it stand out) is there a primer that would do a better job without drying me out?
I'm also thinking about getting studio sculpt foundation would that be good with dry skin and maybe covering redness?

It Cosmetics By Bye Redness is supposed to be really effective for covering reddness. I've never tried it though.

I also have this problem due to Vitiligo. I have to be extra gentle with my face so it doesn't turn bright red. No rubbing, etc. It's also extremely dry. I could get rid of all dry patches with a combination of serum (either ANR or G?nifique) and chemical exfoliation. The latter is a MUST. It really changed my skin because dirt and dead cells are eaten away and absolutely no rubbing is necessary. With all that, no primer is necessary for me, so I can't advise a primer.

Try the Clinique redness solutions line - they have a whole line of skincare and makeup products made specifically for people with rosacea but it should work well for you too - I've used their primer on red areas since I have psoriasis and if I exfoliate sometimes my skin gets red if it's bad so it helped and didn't feel over drying at all IMO

Smashbox has a green color correcting cream. I use it because I have extremely red cheeks and it works amazingly well!

I use redness correcting primers like that from Smashbox, and on places that need a bit more coverage I'll use a green concealer - there's one I use from NYX that's in a jar and it works great. I tried the Bye Bye Redness cream from It Cosmetics and while it did cover my redness, the color of the cream didn't adjust to my skin tone at all (and it's probably because I'm pale as pale can be) and it looked awful!
