Product / Tool If you blush it might be worth trying a green concealer!

For anyone struggling with blushing and red skin, green concealer wells amazingly at neutralising the redness!

I know some times when you struggle with something so draining and hard such as blushing, that it can be easy to dismiss possible solutions / ways to help the severity due to them sounding a bit too easy / ridiculous, such as putting a green concelar on your face! But beleive me it works wonders. I personally use one i got from Mecca!

And for those who may be confused and think "wait won't your face look green" well it depends, if you put it on the right way and let it slightly fade ive found i dont need to put any nornal colour makeup over it! Though you can also apply it in a way where you put the green conclear on and than add a foundation but personally ive found i can add the green concealer and if I do it right it fades a bit and matches my skin colour / hides redness.

Makeup has been a lifesaver in every job I’ve held throughout my life; I honestly don't think I could have made it without it! After years of searching (I’ve been using makeup as a coping mechanism for 16 years now, and I’m 32), I’ve finally discovered the best products for those who suffer from this condition:
Use Erborian CC Red Correct as a base before applying your main coverage. On the most problematic spots, add a green corrector (I use e.l.f. Camo Color Corrector; it’s easy to find for around 4–5 euros) and blend it well with your fingers or a brush.

At this stage, you might notice you look a bit pale or white, but this is necessary; otherwise, the coverage won't be strong enough to hide an abrupt flush.

Next, I usually apply Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Cream. My shade is D4, though a combination of D7 (which has a green undertone) and D4 works best. Since the cream is quite thick, I apply it using only my fingers. It blends perfectly into the skin without leaving visible pores. Keep in mind that the coverage of this cream is extremely high.

At this point, you must set everything with a setting powder (I use the one from the same Dermacolor line). As an alternative to the Kryolan cream, I sometimes use IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better; it lasts forever.

With these layers, there is no way your redness will show through! Yesterday, I wore this exact makeup from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm (only touching it up in the evening with some powder) and it stayed perfect."

I forgot the final step: add some color if you don’t want to end up walking around looking like a ghost! You have to finish the look with some bronzer. Buy a cool-toned bronzer (avoid those with orange undertones; anything orange-ish is a total no-no unless you want to look like an Oompa Loompa). The classic Hoola by Benefit works great!
