Thread: Foundation to cover Redness

Well anywhere that sells mac make up.
Where I live it's shops like house of fraser, debenhams, them sort of department stores.
You could google studio fix foundation and last time I looked it had good reveiws. I use that and also ester lauda double wear. Both nice but studio fix give better coverage. (Liquid one.) not compact.
Let me know how you get on

Max factor foundation works for me

I have a very red face, I first use Clinique redness solution (green creme) then I use Estee Lauder Double Wear. Lasts all day (except in the gym)

Good luck.

I have found something new and is loads better than Bare essentials and it's cheaper! Is Estee Lauder, Disappear smoothing creme concealer. It is £17.
You can use as a foundation or concealer, but the coverage is fantastic!

Really??!?!? Does it cover all the redness, see I don't really have red cheeks but I flush up so need good coverage as I don't want people to really notice! :-(

Well the lady selling it to me asked if I really needed that much coverage, as it covered everything, dark circles, blemishes etc. So I asked for a makeover and was amazed how natural it looked. I wear it for exercising and don't even look like I have worked out very much, even though I'm really hot and sweaty!

Thanks for all the info on covering redness. I have a really red face but also perspire very easily so make up just slides off me. I prefer a concealer to a foundation as I prefer to just put it where I need it. I might try the Estee Lauder one, I reckon all the money I am saving on takeaways and chocolate should cover it lol

Bare minerals. I have rosacea and I've been using it for years. None of the other mineral make-ups come close.

I have this problem too.

I have clinique redness solutions yellow powder which I use sometimes but its not enough, and I have to be careful applying it or it looks wrong. and i've been looking for a foundation too.

Bare minerals have been mentioned in this thread, I don't want anyone wasting money, if you have sensitive skin and are going to buy bare minerals make sure you consider the MATTE version as its less likely to irritate.

I have tried the bare minerals powder mineral foundation, the original one, and although it looks nice on my skin, it makes my skin tingle & itch especially if I sweat at all. Since we've had hot weather my skins even worse and itchier when I use it.
I looked into it and it has something in it called bismuth, which can irritate people with sensitive skins. So if you have rosacea/sensitive skin i'd steer clear of the original version at least test it first. Matte doesnt have bismuth in apparently.
I do like the way the original powder looks once on but it leaves my skin feeling and once i've taken it off, looking a bit irritated.
I am going to buy it in matte unless I find a better option.
I hope this helps someone.

Haia, I use Bourjois foundation healthy mix. My skin is quite light and I get a lot of red patches and often acne. This, for me, is definitely the best one yet, I also use l'oreal true match minerals with the foundation and it covers the red patches perfectly! my friend say my skin has improved, but it's definitely my make-up! hope this helps

I like Clinique too! Bobbi Brown foundation gives good coverage as does Laura Mercier-the only quibble I have with those ones is the price! Lancome do good foundation too. I think it's worth spending money on foundation and concealer to get a good even base and just buy high street if you like on the rest.

I also think it's worth drinking more water too-since I started drinking 3litres water a day, my skin is so clear and glowy! Normally it flares up every so often. Also I don't drink alcohol or eat processed food anymore so I think this is helping too. I got really sick of forking over a ton of money for foundation so decided to go the healthy diet and water route!

Hi ladies, after Reading this thread I went and bought the estee Lauder disappear smoothing cream concealed and I love it!! Will def be sticking with this brand- gives fab coverage on red patches( and thread veins) and you only need a tiny amount! So thanks for the recommendation
