The Problem: You're Plagued by Red, Blotchy Skin
What to look for: If your skin is very red, try a green-toned primer; if your skin is pink, look for a yellow-toned primer. These hues counteract the blotchy hues in your skin and effectively eliminate the mask-like appearance that foundation can create on red skin, says Quynh.
Jessica Scantlin, Blushington Head Makeup Artist, agrees: "Because it helps tone down the red, you actually will not need as much makeup, so you will look more like yourself."
Try:
L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Color-Correcting Primer, $12.99. A small amount of this highly pigmented formula goes a long way to disguise redness -- you only need a tiny bit to cover your entire face.
Koh Gen Do Makeup Color Base Yellow, $48. Not only will this tinted primer help reduce discoloration, it also can be used to highlight, Kim Kardashian style.
