The Best Make-Up For Rosacea, According To The Experts
Make-up artists, influencers and editors on the one product that does it for them.
When you have rosacea, finding the right make-up can be twice as tricky. Depending on which sub-type (or types) you have, you’ll want something that can cover redness or skim over texture, all while remaining gentle enough not to make your delicate complexion more inflamed.
It’s a fine balancing act, and there are surprisingly few products that are truly up to the task. Despite the commonality of rosacea (studies suggest as many as 10% of us have the chronic condition, but that figure doesn’t take into account all the undiagnosed cases out there), there are relatively few brands that place rosacea-prone skin types at the forefront of their formulations.
What’s more, lots of brands still believe that rosacea-prone make-up wearers simply want something heavy enough to mask their redness in entirety. Of course, sometimes this can be true – camouflaging a flare-up does deliver a quick confidence boost – but it can be revolutionary to work with, not against your aesthetic rosacea symptoms. Trust me: working to accept that an ephemeral flush will sometimes shine through your foundation is seriously freeing.
After all, a gentle, dewy highlight or bold red lipstick looks beautiful on any skin tone, regardless of your degree of redness or texture. Here, make-up artists, influencers and beauty editors share the one product they’ve found to help calm, camouflage or complement rosacea-prone skin.
