I have a red to my face and I was wondering how I could cover it.

If you didn't want to put on makeup, you could a green or color correcting primer.

I agree with the green primer! Green and red are opposite on the colour wheel, so the green neutralises the red.

Toners also help to correct redness. I recommend LUSH's Tea Tree Water Toner.

I struggle with the same problem. Usually I start off my makeup routine with a good moisturizer. My skin is dry so that is the reason for some of the redness. I then use a primer. After that I apply a green colored concealer on the areas that are red. I've also heard amazing things about the smash box green correcting primer, but have not been able to get my hands on it yet. Then I do foundation, regular concealer to brighten up my face, blush, Bronzer, etc. I hope this helps!! Good luck! (:

Oh, and I agree with Katherine! A toner will do wonders for redness in the skin. It has helped tone down the redness in my face tons.
