Hey

Mac Studio Fix has really good coverage, and so does the NARS range. You could use MAC concealer underneath also, it covers everything!:)

The most camouflaging foundation is vichy dermablend - it's only available at chemists afaik.

My mam has this too and uses a powder from Clinique - its yellow in colour but in a green tub. It gets rid of all the redness and then she uses the foundation to match it or she just uses the powder for work.

She swears by it

I use Smashbox's colour correcting primer (the one in the green bottle) under my foundation to counteract redness. It has the added bonus of making my foundation last longer, but I'm not sure how well it would work for rosacea- the smashbox counter workers are usually pretty nice about giving out samples so it could be worth a look anyway.

Yeah Vichy Dermablend is made for your kind of problem ballygowan. It's for covering scars, tattoos, redness etc. Long lasting and has 25% more pigmentation coverage than most foundations. It's around €20 in Chemists.

www.dermablend.ie if you want to check out their products.

+1 for Mac Studio Fix.

I use it with a primer and it lasts most of the day.

I have a huge mix of foundations but I have to say the best coverage is with Rimmel Lasting Finish (Mineral Enriched).

I think Estee Lauder Double wear is brilliant, leaves your skin looking flawless and imo not as caked as other products...

+2 for Mac Studio Fix... Except some would say it's what drag queens would wear which I think is a bit much but yeah this stuff has amazing coverage!

Hey
I'm a make up artist and i would definately recommend estee lauder double wear personally, most make up artists i know wear it because it has really great coverage and lasts the longest. i found the MAC studio fix foundation to be very heavy and cakey, i love MAC stuff in general but i wouldn't use their foundations. But i would suggest as the other girls mentioned, getting a primer to combat the redness under the foundation, usually a green primer is used to counteract the red but it can appear ashy looking, maybe try a yellow based one to, to see what you think. You should go in to one of the big department stores like BTs and get advice from the girls in there, they will try to sell you their products but get samples to take home and try first to find out what works for you the best, otherwise you'll end up spending a fortune and products you might not use. hope this helps.

OT I know but la roche posay do a great range range for combating rosacea

I'm throwing in another vote for Mac Studio Fix

Mac Studio Fix is great, I've used it myself in the past but I know a lot of make up can irritate people with Rosacea. At least with Dermablend it's made for people who have Rosacea amongst other things.
