Use a liquid concealer rather than a cream or solid one. Allow the concelaer to dry .

Take the makeup sponge and lightly dust face powder over the area you have added the concealer to ensure additional coverage.

Shun hot water on the face area when washing as this will only irritate the problem areas. Rinse with cold water to reduce the irritation caused by rashes and redness due to sensitivity.

Step 2
Follow a recommended procedure for your sensitive skin. It should still consist of a skin care regime with toning and moisturizing your face that will not cause additional irritation.

Use a yellow toned creamed concealer sparingly. The yellow in the concealer actually tints the discoloration of the skin from redness.

Step 4
Allow the concealer to dry, and then blend the concealer with a cosmetic sponge or cotton swab.

Follow with the balance of your makeup routine and you are ready to go out red free.
