Anyone out there with rosacea or acne rosacea? How do you cover large patches of redness without looking fake?

Answer 1

I didn't but a friend of mine did. Before her dermatologist cleared it up she used pancake makeup to build a strong foundation. If it's extremely blotchy, beauticians have a spray gun thing they use on professional jobs. If this is the route you choose, you might want to consider taking a night course at a beauty academy (they are affordable) to get your beauticians license so you can purchase your supplies wholesale. Or, make friends with a beautician that can get one for you cheap and is willing to show you how it works

Answer 2

It's tough to hide small patches of acne without looking fake. I'd say...wash your face, but moisturizing cream on (A fair amount that won't dry out quickly) and then apply a thin layer of cover up (Liquid, not the dry stuff.) Then add some more moisturizer on top. Don't forget to add it around your neck as well so your face doesn't seem darker, or lighter than your neck.

Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

Answer 4

well definitely use moisturizer with sunblock in it, that's a good start (my dermatologist reccomends Cetaphil daily facial moisturizer with spf 15), the you can use a concealer for any break out (i use maybelline pure concealer blemish treatment stick because it also treats pimples). i have sensitive skin like you, so i have to make sure not to touch my skin too much or rub it because that will make it red. you can stick your face in a fan after you put on moistuizer to cool it and make it less red. i use neutrogena mineral sheers powder foundation and it works surprisingly well and evens out my skin tone, and it even makes my skin look pretty healthy, even in spots where my face is really dry or really oily. just use a brush to put it on to places that don't need too much coverage, and for places that need more (like covering acne scars- i have LOTS of scars on my cheeks) just use the sponge it comes with and lightly cover. for the t-zone you can use a pressed powder (i use covergirl clean pressed powder because it's great for sensitive skin because it's oil and fragrance free) and throughout the day if my skin gets oily i just put some of that on it or use oil swabbing sheets. make sure to look for makeup for sensitive skin, and look for lightweight makeup that will still give good coverage,because heavy makeup is horrible for sensitive skin. and easy way to find makeup that will be good for your skin is to make sure it's oil free, and it's a big bonus if it's also fragrance free. hope this helps!
