How to Expertly Camouflage Facial Redness for a Flawless Complexion

The Principle

As seasoned beauty professionals, we know layering heavy makeup won't deliver a fresh, even complexion. Skip thick green primers—they neutralize redness but often dull the skin, risking a pale, ashy look. Use them sparingly, stretched only over red areas. Without one, opt for a long-wear or matte foundation applied selectively to problem spots.

How to Apply It

Target redness precisely: dispense a drop of foundation into your palm and pat it only onto bothersome areas like the jawline or nose sides. Follow with your everyday foundation or tinted moisturizer. Touch up as needed throughout the day for lasting results.
