Facial redness due to Lupus.

It.....I can’t be purchased online!

Dermacol is a film/théâtre make up cover. It comes in many skin tones and will completely cover any skin blemishes.

Only a tiny amount needed so the tube lasts for a long time.

I can be purchased online.

Hello everyone
Thank you all, for taking the time to reply to my post.
I will try out most of the suggestions, and hope to look 'pale and interesting' very soon!!!!!
Best wishes to you all.

I had a problem with rosacea for a while and found that Eucerin products were very good, in fact better than any of the well-known more expensive makes as they are especially manufactured for hyper-sensitive skin.

I hope this is not advertising:

For a primer - the Laura Geller champagne spackle is brilliant and really tones down red. I found that if you are not careful, using a green primer or concealer can make you look quite grey with a foundation on top.
As for foundation - Laura Geller Balance and Brighten or Balance and Glow is a solid powder that you can build up where you need a bit extra coverage or Bare Minerals is also excellent. Both available from QVC ( they often have special offers where you can get a set of products for not much more than the price of one so you can try from the same range)

I have SLE too but my red flares have decreased with age. I found that sticking to one or two very good but mild products and an occasional facial help enormously. I use either Clarins or Liz Earle and on balance I think Liz Earle is best and a bit cheaper. Try to avoid spicy foods as well. Good Luck. [flowers}

Well tested!!

I’m a great fan of IT CC+ makeup. The CC+ means Colour Correcting Complete Coverage - so it acts as everything and doesn’t need a primer or moisturizer.
Honestly, one drop from the pump tube does the whole face, brush application is best.

Saw and bought it from QVC - so if it’s unsuitable it can be sent back, even if it’s been ‘we’ll tested’.

Think Boots and Debenhams sell it now, so it might be possibly to get a lesson on the way to apply it or look on YouTube. Sure (?) it was developed to cover skin defects and birth marks.

If you want something light you could try Clinique CC tinted moisturiser. I find it evens out my red patches and is not heavy.

What you need is a green primer under your foundation. Boots no.7 do one or Kiku have a palette with a thicker green creme which counteracts the redness. There are lots on the market. It definitely works!

I was once persuaded to have my make up done in a beauty store in Rome. The lady put the green creme on with a brush, then foundation, the results were amazing! I kept looking at myself in shop windows on the way home. It was a complete transformation, I didn't recognise myself!!!?

I find Bare minerals is good for everyday, it covers my very red nose. It doesn’t sit in my creases or look flat. I agree with Fran above about doublewear I use it for special occasions.

I have terrible redness due to rosacea. I find Estee Lauder Doublewear the best. They do two levels of coverage and I use the ordinary one as a foundation and a tiny bit of the higher strength one on the worst patches.

I have tried various different green primers and they seem to make very little difference.
