I HATE my red cheeks! I never know what to do! Whenever im @ my house or around my family im fine and my cheeks look normal. but when im at school teachers and friends tell me that my cheeks are red or that i look like i have been sunburnt. I have heard to use green make-up but that just dries out my face with many other powders and cover-ups. I need help! what should i use!!

well i know exactly what your talking about because i have the same problem!!! i actually dont use anything. i just go into the girls bathroom and take some cold water and put it all on my face. and if u wear make-up then just take the make-up that you applied at home to school and re-apply it at school after the water!

okay well first you should see a dermatoligist and see what may be causing this natural red thing ? The next thing you should do is go to a cosmetic counter at a good department store and have a conslutation. Tell them all the problems you are having and my own personal advice is maybe you need a tinted moisturizer verse a fondation . Or sumthing that has a green concealer to take down that pigment of red. Don't fret there is always a solution that can be fixed when it comes to slight redness of the cheeks. So consult two professionals 1) Dermatoligist 2) Professional Makeup Artist. Hope that helps you..:)

Okay.
Well, before you put on the green cover-up, try using a moistureizer that will increase the oil in your skin. Then, follow with a powder foundation. Don't use liquid foundation, because that would just cancel out the green cover-up and move it around. Then, use a translucent powder. Since your cheeks are red, after using the cover-up and foundation, your cheeks will show through it all as a pink. In order to look glamourous, use the translucent powder to add a sheek sparkle that will make it look like you do have a gorgeous shade of blush on.
Instead of people asking you if you are sunburnt, they will ask you where you get that amazing shade of blush. You will get to reply with,"That's just my natural skin tone."
Also...
make sure you do use the green cover-up. not a normal color that is your skin tone.
Green is opposite to red on the color weel, making it cancel out.

You may have rosacea or another skin problem, so you should probably see a dermatologist. I know a couple of people who have the same problem. I would recommend that you use a mineral makeup so that you don't irritate your skin. Try Neutrogena or Physicians Formula, or spend more and get Bare Minerals. I know that some makeup brands sell color-correcting primers. Smashbox has a green one to counter redness.

omg i have the same exact problem...i hate it!! anyway, i like Dior Red Correcting Cream, it's a light green cream, that won't dry out face, plus it lasts a long time and it doesn't cause breakouts either. feels very natural! after add on a loose powder makeup, like bare escentuals, to finish the look, this won't make skin dry either, cuz it's very light. hope this helped, good luck!

you can try something with soy in it to calm your skin down..the green is out don't try it, it also makes you look like your sick..try Aveeno because they use a lot of soy in their products which helps inflamation..if you want a cover up use a mineral type of makeup like Neutrogena Mineral Sheers..their lightweight and inexpensive and you can put them in your purse if you need to..my cousin has red cheeks and she uses this makeup, she really loves it so its worth a try :)

I just discovered this last week and i PROMISE you, you will see a difference!
Buy AVEENO ULTRA CALMING MOISTURIZER (the spf kind OR regular) and apply twice a day...AM and PM. You will see a difference in 2 days i bet.
My cheeks are really really red always and it stopped in 2 days after this stuff!!

I suggest using a good foundation that matches the rest of your face.
