I always look alittle red unless I wear tones of make up. Any tips how to get rid of it?

Not sure, does it vary at all depending on what food you eat or weather or anything like that?

And just a thought, have you used mineral powder foundation? I find it covers everything pretty well without even being noticeable. And it's not bad for your skin, either.

yes I use bare minerals but am looking into alternatives bc mineral makeup may make you look older then you are

Sally: maybe you could try using cold milk mix with almond oil...gently dab it around your face to reduce the redness...or a cold tea bag would also be nice, the "tanin" would act as natural astringent and moisturizer for the skin...

Drink lots of water and stay away from the sun....

yeah I avoid the sun like the plague.. Stupid day star...

Dont worry sally, in due time the redness will be reduced. Just continue using milk or even ice to minimize the redness on your skin...dont put on lots of make up, maybe its skin irritation that's making it red.

Make up forever HD primer. The green one goes on before you use your usual make up and it doesn't clog pores.

I had also the redness on my face. Then, I use facial regularly to improve the redness of my skin and really it helps me a lot . you must avoid Benzoyl peroxide, Alpha hydroxy acids,Vitamin c and toner.
