Things You'll Need:
- A good pharmacy store such as CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, Drug Fair, Drug Emporium, etc.

Step 1
Clean your face with Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser. Moisturize your face with a green tinted moisturizer. I love the Eucerin Redness Relief Daily Perfecting Lotion SPF 15. No, I don't work for Eucerin, they just make a good product! The tinted lotion should be spread evenly over your skin to avoid areas that may look washed out or too light. Your skin should take on a whiter tone, don't worry. This is the first step. The green colors counteract the redness in your face.

Step 2
I don't use foundation. I find that it clogs up my skin, sometimes causing more redness later. If you must, then try a foundation for redness reduction or Rosacea, etc. I use the Eucerin lotion as my base, and work from there. Use a green-tinted powder. I use Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Face Powder, Corrector-Green. It comes with a brush, but I bought a really good, soft face brush that I like better. Its up to you. In a circular motion, I whisp the powder on my face, lightly in the normal areas, heavier in the red areas to create a balanced color. Again, you will look pretty white or pale.

Step 3
I use a Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Bronzing Talc-Free Veil, Bronzer. You can choose from your favorite bronzers to put some flesh color back to your face. Make it as even as possible by using light round circular motions for application. It was tricky to find the perfect color, since its hard to know until you open it. Once you open it, you are stuck with it. But once you find your color, you will know from then on. Also, the color may be lighter in the winter and darker in the summer due to sun exposure-so be aware of that. The first one I purchased was in the summer and it was way too light. I kept it anyway and found that it worked perfectly in the winter. This is trial and error.

Step 4
All of this should be done before applying any eye or lip make-up. Remember to keep everything light or you will look too caked on. Most of the products I mentioned are nice and light, and don't make my face feel all clogged up. And by the end of all this, your face should look natural, as if you have no make-up on and the redness should be greatly reduced or even gone. For some spot areas of redness, Physician's Formula makes a few green concealers. Look at their section and find what is right for you. Good Luck!!!
