How to: camouflage redness like a pro

Red patches, couperose, rosacea... Are you seeing red? Here's a complete tutorial to help you camouflage your redness with the right products and make-up techniques to restore an even complexion ;-)

Step 0: Prepare Your Skin Properly 

First and foremost, pamper your skin with The Anthemis Soothing Moisturizing Creamby Pai Skincare, designed for sensitive skin. Its chamomile helps soothe sensations of heat and reduce redness, while wild rose oil—the brand’s signature ingredient—gently nourishes the skin. Thanks to its lightweight texture, it provides a comfortable base that powders blend into seamlessly. 

Step 1: Correct redness

We begin by applying the Cover-Up Corrector from RMS Beauty (shown here in shade n°22): a multi-purpose essential that corrects redness without smothering or aggressing the skin. It is applied to areas of redness, small imperfections and dark circles on the face with a flat brush or by tapping directly with the finger.

Step 2: Even out your complexion with a hypoallergenic formula

Next, even out your complexion with the Oh My Cream Skincare Mineral Powder SPF 20by Oh My Cream Skincare ( shown here in the shade “Very Light”). This non-comedogenic pressed mineral powder foundation conceals imperfections without drying out the skin or settling into fine lines. Its non-nano mineral pigments even out the complexion while protecting the skin from UV rays, and hyaluronic acid and aloe vera keep the skin feeling comfortable from morning to night. Apply it with the Foundation Brush by laying it flat on the powder, then sweeping it over the entire face in circular motions, adding thin layers to areas of redness until the desired coverage is achieved.

Step 3: Enhance your complexion and cheekbones (without taking any risks)

You read that right—we're actually pairing " colour " with the Plume Blush Violette_FR for a natural, healthy glow. We’re going with the Rose Fumé shade—a fresh hue designed to intuitively complement every skin tone. Its melt-in texture transforms into a lightweight cream, creating a soft, blurred “healthy glow” effect—perfect for minimizing redness ;-) 

Step 4: Secure everything so it stays in place all day

Next up is theHydra Setting Powder Tinted Loose Powderby RMS Beauty, an ultra-fine, nearly translucent powder: the crucial step for setting your concealer and blurring away any minor imperfections. For best results, apply it to shiny areas using a powder brush.

The extra touch: set your makeup for a long-lasting look 

To finish, spray on theUltraCalming Mist by Dermalogica all over your face (and reapply it anytime throughout the day as needed). This soothing, hydrating mist is designed for sensitive skin and helps calm redness and a burning sensation in just a few seconds. 

Life-Saving First Aid Techniques 

  • Tap rather than rub: Rubbing can irritate sensitive skin and cause it to redden even more. To apply your concealer or foundation, use light, pressing motions without rubbing. 

  • Avoid the "mask effect": To avoid that thick, cakey look on your face that draws attention to the areas you’d rather hide, opt for light, sheer layers to build up the coverage you want. 

  • How to Apply Blush Properly: Apply it to the tops of your cheekbones, blending it toward your temples, and avoid the center of your cheeks, where redness often tends to appear.

  • (Thoroughly) clean brushes: Since they accumulate makeup residue, sebum, and impurities—which can irritate sensitive skin—be sure to clean your brushes regularly. Wash them in lukewarm water—ideally once a week—using a gentle cleanser, then lay them flat to dry, and you’re all set!

Makeup is a valuable ally for evening out your complexion on a daily basis, but it only masks the problem. If your redness is persistent, spreading, or accompanied by a sensation of heat, tingling, or small bumps, it may be couperose or rosacea. In this case, the best course of action is to consult a dermatologist: they will be able to make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your skin.
