If you suffer from skin 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 red tones on your face and eliminate those problems. Head to your local pharmacy or beauty supply provider for some essential tools needed to combat blue redness. First, you will need to choose a foundation that is right for you.

Opt for a light, whipped foundation that is oil-free and can be easily applied with a cosmetic sponge. Match the shade to your neck and chest color to ensure you choose 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 to a flawless complexion is a green neutralizing stick, which is available at most beauty supply stores. This stick looks like 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 got home, wash your face with a moisturizing cleanser and warm, not hot, water. Hot water can easily aggravate an already red face, so stick with a warmer temperature. Use the green concealer stick to draw light marks over the redder spots, including the outside of the nostrils, chin, and cheeks. Blend until no longer visible. Then, lightly dust 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 the face. Set everything with compact powder, and apply the rest of your makeup as usual. Goodbye, redness!
