I am a 43 y/o female w/ a fair complextion. I have red splotches around my cheeks & nose. No amount of makeup covers this. I've heard that a 'green' concealer will cover this & then apply foundation. I've looked in stores for this, but can't find anything. Has anyone heard of this, brand name & where I can find it? Thanks

I have similar problems with redness. Green concealer does help some. Just don't use too much. Or it shows up green! I like to use just regular liquid concealer, get it in a shade lighter than your natural skin color. Applying concealer after foundation over problem areas may actually help to cover imperfections better than applying it before foundation.

Physicians Formula sells the green concealer. It works (Ive tried it). They sell it at like Target for $5 or so. They also have some that have a foundation and the green concealer.
Also you may want to go to a dermatologist and have it checked out. I had some redness on my cheeks for a while and I went to the dermatologist and she gave me some prescription cleansing pads and lotion that worked instantly and made all the redness disappear! For me the redness was due to humidity and weather change. Good luck!

Physician's Formula has a little concealer duo thing with a green concealer and a flesh-colored concealer that works really good (at least for me). You should be able to find it at any drug store or Target. If you can't find this brand, pretty much every other cosmetics company make some sort of green concealer.

omg I use the best foundation ever it is L'oreal Bare Naturale. It is great for any age. I mean I am 13 years old and my mom using the same foundation as I do and she is 41! It looks like a loose powder but it if actually a foundation. it covers up anything from pimples to uneven skin tone! it is amazing. it is like the bare essentuals but so much cheaper. I actually compared to two and there was no difference, execpt price. L'oreal is about $13 and Bare Essentuals is like $60!!!! You don't need a concealer with this stuff this stuff will cover the most uneven skin and the most redess. you need to try it

I use Sheer Cover...It's mineral foundation...It's wonderful...I have rosacea, blemishes, and acne scars and when i wear this makeup, it covers it all. You can't buy it in stores only online or by calling the phone number. I started using it and threw out all my other makeup.

Physician's Formula. It can be found at any drug store. It comes in a pallet with other colors that combine together.
I suggest you use bareminerals. It's better for your skin because it's pure.
good luck =]
