I have redness around my nose and on my cheeks and am looking for something that will help reduce it or cover it up. I don't like using a lot of foundation as I find it doesn't help, just looks cakey. Thank you for your suggestions!

I have redness in my face as well and I agree that using a ton of foundation doesn't help, so I just use a normal size amount of foundation all over my face and then a good concealer in the areas that are a little more red. I can recommend a few really glad foundations of you would like that don't look cakey on me.. and also one other thing.. there is a spray by urban decay that glass on before primer and moisture izer and it helps reduce redness. I can't remember the exact name of it. it's like B12 our B14 or something.

Maybe try a green tinted concealer. I know there are lots of really cheap drugstore brand colour wheels if you just wanted to try it out.

Sorry... post it by mistake... but the advise was to avoid redness and look cakey need a primer (loreal magic lumi is may drugstore fav) and a good BB or CC cream depending of how red I am at the moment got like two of each.

Solo sorry this keeps posting without me finishing. but the BB fav is the garnier one and the CC cream is the loreal series they have a purple a green and also nude one they are awesome and sometimes I don't even need foundation... hope it helps.

I have the same problem and a light cover foundation with mineral conceal wokers really well for me I don't feel like I have anything on.

Color correction should address it. I believe they sell green tinted primers which you could try, and some green concealers as well.

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely look into a green tinted primer to help, I've just heard they can make you look ill?

I got this and it didn't do a thing. When I applied it to my red area on my cheek all it did was make my cheek glittery. Didn't cover up any redness at all.

Hey Shanae, how did you apply it? because I have the same one and It works wonders for being from a drugstore brand. When you use it just use enough and don't blend it like foundation. Tap it over the area where there is redness and then you can conceal or just go straight with your foundation right on top. But that is one of my faves. I use it a lot at school and does a great job at correcting redness.
