To those who have tried Dermablend makeup, were you happy with it?

Question

I have mild rosacea and hear Dermablend works pretty good for this. However, I've also heard that it can look cakey and thick because it is meant for people with serious skin conditions. I want good coverage, but obviously don't want to look like a clown.

Answer 1

Hey, what you have heard is probably right...Dermablend is awesome in small doses and it needs a lot of work to make it look right...
As far as rosacea goes, here are some tips
-go with a neutral undertone foundation- have a professional match you. Pink undertones might seem to match initially but in the long run are going to make you redder...
-some derms recommend oil free so check that out as well
-all derms, as far as I know recommend exfoliation to keep rosacea at bay...Total Turnaround Concentrate (Clinique) is good
-There are also some makeups that have salicydic acid in them- which is an exfoliator, so that too can be helpful., but these generally look best on oily skins
-Always wear a sunscreen, sun can irritate rosacea and make it worse.
If you don't go with a foundation with salicylic acid (like Clinique's Clarifying Makeup) then some of my rosacea customers loves Perfectly Real Makeup

Didn't like it at all. Try Mary Kay cosmetics, lighter, yet cover well....
