If you suffer from blemishes, scars, or rosacea, you know how difficult it is to make your face look fair and even. However, there are some easy ways to neutralize the red tones on your face and leave those problems on the sidewalk. Head to your local pharmacy or beauty supply provider for some essential tools you need to fight redness. First, you will need to choose a suitable foundation for yourself.
Choose a light, whipped foundation that is oil-free and can be easily applied with a cosmetic sponge. Match the shade with your neck and chest color to make sure you pick the right shade, as red faces are more difficult to match. Choose a concealer stick or wand in the same shade, as well as a pressed powder. However, the secret ingredient for the perfect face is a green neutralizing bar, which is sold by most beauty retailers. This stick resembles a tube of mint green lipstick and will help cover up the worst redness on your face. Also pick up a green tinted powder with a brush applicator.
Once you’ve gotten home, wash your face with a moisturizing cleanser and warm, not hot, water. Hot water can easily aggravate an already red face, so keep the temperature warmer. Use the green concealer stick to draw light marks on the reddest spots, including the outer nostrils, chin, and cheeks. Mix until it is no longer visible. Then lightly apply the green powder all over your face to neutralize and set the tone. Use your natural concealer under the eyes and apply the foundation with a cosmetic sponge all over your face. Set everything with the pressed powder and apply the rest of your makeup as usual. Goodbye, redness!
