COVERAGE FOR FACIAL REDNESS

12andcounting — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 21:38:21 GMT

I have facial redness on my cheeks. Have any of you ladies found a good product that really does cover the redness without being cakey? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

@12andcounting There use to be this beauty vendor who had the same issue as yourself. It's actually a medical condition called rosacea. All of her makeup hid the redness. She sold her company for billions. Haven't seen her since.

Sorry, I do not remember her name. Hopefully, someone else does.

Clinique makes a wonderful product for facial redness. It's a serum and comes in a yellow tube. I use it daily as a base for my tinted moisturizer and it covers the redness nicely.

If it's dermatitis or an allergy to a fragranced product you're using on your face you could also consider an OTC product that is healing and addresses the redness. Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, etc all carry them and they work well to control the itchiness too.

It cosmetics Bye Bye Redness works well. It can be used alone with other products.

@12andcounting You have not said what is causing your redness, but I had rosacea about 40 years ago, and I used a green-tinted cover up under my makeup to eliminate the red on my cheeks. I think it was Estee Lauder, but I can't be sure. My dermatologist also prescribed a treatment for the rosacea.

I don't know if you want to go to such great lengths but my dermatologist gave me a cream that as long as I use it, clears the redness from my cheeks. Its name is Elidel. I had very bad red areas, not just on my cheek but above my eye from two cases of shingles there and it has removed that redness plus the redness I already had in my cheeks since I was a teen.

@PA Mom-mom To be honest, I'm not sure what the cause of my redness is. It's not severe and my face doesn't itch. It's just noticeable and I would like to cover it. Thanks for your response.

I had a facial at med spa 2 weeks ago due to clogged pores and she said I had acne rosacea. (I knew this)

Rosacea is one who is fair and easy to "flush" on face". I got rid of it with IPL lasers years ago but something made it return the past 5 months. The creams derm's suggested never worked on me in 20 years ago.

Yes, you will want to itch a certain part of your face. I dot it with a tissue.

She thought there is a culprit along wit clogged pores and asked what I am using. ahah.....I switched to "Neutrogena sensitive gel cleanser with a heavy scent". I purchased aveeno "radiant sensitive cleansing". It had a strong odor as well - I got scared, but it is getting better each day and not a problem for me.

Am using it now one week and my pimples are dissapearing and rosacea spots. I think it was the Neutrogena. I will IPL laser them if necessary but hope not too. Redness is so much better too. Not one flush for 3 days..,

Fingers crossed, another pore cleansing facial in a week or so, and I'll be on the road for clearer skin.

Please do not use strong acid pads if you suffer from rosacea either. And watch for food allergies. I"m allergic to "nightshade" foods for instance. That's tomato, eggplant, potato, etc. Look it up.

Sometimes a gluten free diet will help as well. It does me for sure.

I also break up with egg yolk and nitrates. Amazing huh? But over the years I tested. I love science.

PS. for noodles I use "no yolk eggos". and they are wonderful.

Doll 10 TCE foundation with accompanying brush. HSN sells it and also QVC when it stocks the shades. Also the TCE concealer with brush.

Whenever I have a redness flare, from meds or food, it works like magic. The rest of the time I use Estée Lauder Diamond cream which has turned out to have eliminated any redness I once had. I can actually use it alone now. No foundation needed most days.

If you have rosacea @12andcounting , Finacea, a prescription, works to relieve redness too.

Good luck! I had tried everything but found these products worked best for me. Both Clinique and IT never helped my redness. Too heavy and poor color match for my fair skin.

I like Doll 10 TCE Concealer. It goes on smoothly and a little goes a long way. It does

cover redness . It doesn't dry cakey. I use a primer first.

@12andcounting - how about trying to combat the redness via skincare with an effective niacinamide serum?

Re: COVERAGE FOR FACIAL REDNESS

Pink123 — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 22:57:30 GMT

It's called "aveeno positively radiant foaming cleanser". I can't seem to post a picture of it.

Try an anti redness primer before makeup. Often they are green, this hides the red.

@12andcountingThanks to the op Franell who sparked my memory: I found the Q ex beauty vendor. Her name is Jamie Kern Lima who owned IT Cosmetics before she sold it for billions.

Left pic = QVC look

Right pic = billionaire look

All of her cosmetics dealt w/facial redness. She gave instructions on how to cover up w/o looking like a corpse caked w/make-up. You may want to check YouTube for her videos.

at "idoized salt". For instance Morton's. There is a non iodine option.

This is a big one. My CT "IV scans" all asked for iodine allergy.

I have it and am rosacea prone with flushing. I had one when I was a mere 20 year old. They had to pull the IV out immediately.

Heart beats rapidly., flushing, etc.

I use them without. Non-ionic.

I have roscaca and freckles and a budget lol. I use CoverGirl Simply Ageless cream makeup ( the one with Olay moisturizing cream swirled in it). Applied with a damp pouncing blender sponge. I then use Maybeline F.I.T. Matte pressed powder applied with a brush.

No concealers. But if i did, i would use one with green tint to it.

@JeanLouiseFinch ITA. My cheeks and nose used to be as red as a tomato but are very calm and happy now. I credit Isomers' niacinamide, retinol and ceramide products for the improvement.
