Green tinted concealer? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Does the green tint in make-up products really neutralize red marks, or is it a false claim?

I use a green concealer on blemishes and blemish scars. It does seem to help neutralize the red somewhat. You have to be careful how much you use though, because if you apply it too heavily it can look a funny bruised color. Once in a while I put on the green first, then on top of that a natural color concealer.

I use one that is applied with a brush, I prefer that to a stick.

I swear, everytime I use geen, it shows through and I can see it under the foundation. I had to give up on colored concealer.

I guess you have to be careful with it! I have tried one by Physicians Formula in the past and it seemed to work okay.. but I didn't really like the stick kind.

Benefit makes a yellow powder called Bluff Dust or something like that.. it's supposed to minimize pink or red tones that are all over the face. I tried it out and it seemed to work pretty well. I think I look better with a golden skin tone rather than a pinkish one so it worked well for doing this.

I every kind I have used has looked funny - even when used lightly
Btw, I have fair - medium skin
