The 9 Best Makeup Products for Redness, Hands Down

I have rosacea and constantly struggle with redness on my face, which means my search for the best redness-reducing skincare and makeup products is also constant. I’ve already waxed poetic about my holy-grail skincare products that save my skin from redness, heat, irritation and sensitivity, so today I thought I’d share the makeup formulas I’ve found to do the same.

To get some clarification on what exactly to look for when hunting for makeup products to cover redness, I asked my facialist (and skin saviour), Vanessa Hernandez. “There is a chemistry and science when it comes to colour. The colour wheel has an array of colours which, when used correctly, can balance or cancel each other out,” Vanessa explains. “Directly across from each other on the colour wheel are red and green. For someone who has red undertones in the skin, rosacea, acne or any kind of post-inflammatory issues, using a product with green ingredients can help to calm, soothe and cancel out that redness.”
