I have rosacea and often struggle with redness on my face, which means I’m constantly searching for the best makeup and skin care products that reduce redness. I did poetic about my holy grail skin care products keeps my skin free from redness, heat, irritation, and sensitivity, so today I thought I’d share makeup recipes that I’ve found to work just as well.
To get a clear idea of what exactly to look for when searching makeup products to cover the redness, I asked my esthetician (and skin savior), Vanessa Hernandez. “There’s a chemistry and a science when it comes to color,” explains Vanessa. “The color wheel is an array of colors that, when used properly, can balance or cancel each other out.” “Directly opposite each other on the color wheel are red and green. For people with red pigmentation in their skin, rosacea, acne or any kind of post-inflammatory problem, use the product. Products with green ingredients can help calm and soothe the skin and get rid of that redness.”
With that in mind, my strategy is to incorporate several products with green ingredients into the first steps of my makeup routine to neutralize redness and then define fundamental and concealer with the right formulas to hide any remaining pink tones. Keep scrolling to see and shop the all-star products I’ve found for redness.
