What to use for very red cheeks?

Question

I blush a lot and when I feel my face burning red it stays, and especially when someone points that out. I'm pretty shy so that doesn't help at all.

When I get hot, and after playing sports my face gets red too.

I want something to cover it up and something that will last all day even if I sweat.

Any foundations or anything like that you recommend for a flushed face? lol

I can't take it anymore! I need to find something. Been dealing with this for years now! HELP!

Oh yeah. and I know I asked a question similar to this a bit earlier but thought I'd add in some details. =]

Answer 1

get a soft green concealer. It cancels out the red completely! I recommend organic wear's concealer stick because it's good for your skin to :)

Answer 2

It would be difficult to cover that completely with foundation, plus who wants to wear cake makeup? I suggest that if you can afford it, try this stuff by Clinique called redness solutions. Maybe you could ask for a free sample?

Answer 3

The person a couple of spots above my answer is absolutely correct, in that green cancels out red, because they are opposite each other on the color wheel. http://styles101.homestead.com/corective...

Since the redness happens all over your face, though, just a concealer stick might not do enough to counteract it.  You may want to try something for the full face.  Smashbox makes a primer that is light green to neutralize redness.  You use it underneath your regular foundation.  Any foundation would do.

But it's pretty natural to turn red after sports...it might look a little weird if you didn't.  Plus, if you wear make up during sports or when you know you're going to be sweating a lot, you run the risk of developing breakouts and clogged pores.

Plus, a blushing girl is a healthy girl!  Embrace it--most guys find blushing girls cute!

--->Good Luck!
