yes if you want your cheeks to look whiter - green tint makeup is usually used on red blemisheds to cancle out the red so when you put foundation on, you can't even tell the difference between blemish and nonblemish. If that's the look you're going for, then applying green tint makeup followed by foundation would be perfect for you. Just be sure not to go overboard.

I have been a makeup artist for 30 years and I advise against the green tints that are used to camouflage redness in skin. Professionals must be trained properly to use the technique.
Many times it is not sheer enough and will look very scary. Instead, use "Clear Eyes" redness remover to shrink some capillaries and then use a Max Factor Erase cover stick or another that is thick and not slippery. Use fair or ivory if you are a light skinned person. First apply your foundation ( full coverage)
or Dermablend makeup foundation. Take a paint brush or small makeup brush with taunt feeling, like a lip brush or cover brush. Swipe the brush on the cover stick and paint and dab to cover. After it lookes like a blank canvas, take translucent light to medium (Estee Lauder is nice, it doesn't turn orange) pressed powder and press into skin lightly. Don't slide or rub. Don't use brown blush. Mineral makeups don't cover enough. Use a coral or peach blush, only on apples of cheeks towards the outside of your face. Always cleanse with a good cream cleanser like Oil Of Olay and dont use scrubs or exfoliants. (unless extremely gentle like Victoria Principle's) NO soap, treat your skin gently. Use NO hot water on skin, only warm to cool. Hope I helped!

If you have the red cheeks do not use green tint makeup..it's seems to me like an edible art!
Eyes- Make it of Peas or grapes
hair- Curly cooked pasta
Legs-Pepper strips
and cheeks- tint it with bluish coloring so it looks like a pond-river where water is flowing alike.
Then see How many fishes are you going to catch it!
Go for Max Factor!

Yes, green tones redness down. I've provided a link to smashbox color correcting foundation primer (meaning that it's meant to be worn under foundation). I have not used this though, but foundation primer is a great idea. If you have a Sephora store in your area, you can go test products out and if you ask for a sample, they'll be happy to give you one.

The key is to use a green tinted primer, then a foundation over it. A great primer to try is the mint Secret Agent color primer by BeautiControl. You can get it at www.beautipage.com/

green makeup on red cheeks end up looking like a bad attempt at covering a bruise.
Try a yellow concealer instead, Physician's Formula has a lot of different types, Smashbox has a color corrector foundation in this color, Benefit makes a yellow finishing powder, Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation also

Yes! I use Physicians Formula Concealer Twins. It has a green base that goes on the bottom, and then a concealer that goes on the top, so it looks really natural. Any green works well, and then use foundation or concealer on top. Good luck!

Green tint concealor is pretty good, but you have to be careful that it doesn't show through you base after wearing it for a while.
