I have a slight case of rosacea, and I was wondering if anyone has used the cosmetic line "dermablend" for tha

Question

-I have heard it might be a little heavy.

-I was actually wanting more of a powder. i HATE wearing MAKEUP ALL OVER my face, I'm just mainly looking for something that can just cover my pinkish/red cheeks.

-I dont have the bumpy rosacea, just the slight constant redness, so I guess something that's not TOO thick... any suggestions?

Answer 1

Yes dermanblend is an excellent line for "coverage" whether it
be heavy coverage or light.

I think the fact that its a creme based thick in consistency makeup makes it ideal for roscenea.

However, you could use any creme base like
maybe Max Factors in a stick
or in a little compact with sponge.

cleanse your face and use moisturizer,
apply dots on your forhead, cheeks , and nose and chin.

lightly use the sponge to blend the color evenly.
you can blend blend blen with no line of demarcation.
blend toward your hairline and make sure your
colour matches your neck.....blend out the line

you can also use liquid makeup over that, again, apply a little at a time. this gives interesting shine and there are so many transluxcent shades to choose from

once you are blended, use a big brush with powder to seal
foundation. that helps it stay on longer

dermablend is an excellent foundation; also try merle norman cosmetics creme base, or lancomb.

but dermablend, if you use it properly is the best.

Dermablend is a bit heavy... but conceals great. You would need to purchase the cream and the finish powder (about $55-$60) for both. If you want to avoid creams... you can try Bare Minerals (about $60 for a kit) or Sheer Cover (I think around $30 for a kit). Both are powder based and derived from natural ingredients. I've used all 3 products and liked all. If you have an Ulta 3 cosmetics supply by you, you can definitely find Dermablend & Bare Minerals there. I bought the Sheer Cover from TV... but I'm sure it must be availabe in stores by now. Their prices may have come down some since they've been out on the market... but I know the Dermablend is pretty current. Just made a purchase a few months ago.
Hope this info helps you.

Answer 4

DermaBlend is a bit of overkill for slight rosacea. I haven't found the mineral powder makeups to be really very good at covering redness. I would suggest you use a color-correcting primer, such as Smashbox's green primer, then a light liquid foundation. L'Oreal's True Match Blendable foundation is very light but has great coverage.

Answer 5

I used dermablend many years ago. I did it not like the heavy consistency and outdated colors. If you are looking for a more natural look, try bare minerals and sheer cover. They are mineral powder makeups that cover the skin well and have a very natural look and feel to them.
