4 Easy Methods to Fix Redness on Your Face

A rosy flush is pretty. Splotchy red, not so much. "The key is to cover it without caking on makeup," says Mally Roncal. Do it this way.

To neutralize redness on your cheeks, nose, and chin, swipe on a yellow-based cream concealer, as shown above. For under your eyes, apply one that's two shades lighter than your skin.

1Start with two concealers

To neutralize redness on your cheeks, nose, and chin, swipe on a yellow-based cream concealer, as shown above. For under your eyes, apply one that's two shades lighter than your skin.

Using a pat-and-smush motion, gently press the yellow concealer into your skin. Then, for around your eyes, use your ring finger only, since it's the weakest and won't tug at this delicate area.

2Blend with your fingers

Using a pat-and-smush motion, gently press the yellow concealer into your skin. Then, for around your eyes, use your ring finger only, since it's the weakest and won't tug at this delicate area.

It's thicker than a liquid so it adds an extra level of coverage, plus it sets the concealer. Brush it on with a light press-and-roll motion (buffing can erase your concealer work).

3Top it off with powder foundation

It's thicker than a liquid so it adds an extra level of coverage, plus it sets the concealer. Brush it on with a light press-and-roll motion (buffing can erase your concealer work).

I know, I know. You just took away redness and now I'm making you put on blush?! But a swirl of peachy pink on the apples of your cheeks adds healthy color where you want it—and gives you a radiant finish.
