Keep reading as we reveal the best makeup products for rosacea, and while we might be biased, our customers swear by each product too!

Firstly though there are a few things you need to know when it comes to the best makeup products for rosacea;

If you have rosacea you’ll want to use makeup to cover up facial redness and any bumps and blemishes on your face. Look for makeup products that are specifically designed for sensitive skin and no not contain fragrances, preservatives or harsh chemicals. Mineral makeup is best! Formulated with skin loving ingredients and no chemical nasties, ELES Cosmetics has a range of mineral makeup must-have’s perfect for covering up skincare woes including rosacea. The products also allow skin to breath freely so no clogging pores and aggravating irritated skin!
When it comes to rosacea, green-tinted products or colour correctors are a great go-to for cancelling out redness.
Be aware of rosacea triggers which can cause unwanted facial redness such as spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol and caffeine.
Using the right makeup products will make a big difference in managing rosacea prone skin. Look for gentle, soothing products that aim to reduce redness and inflammation while concealing skin.
Remember less is more when it comes to those with skin sensitivities and facial flareups. You don’t want to overdo it when it comes to layering your makeup products. Skin needs to breath and too many products can lead to further inflammation.

The best makeup products to cover up facial redness and improve rosacea symptoms;

ELES Luminous CC Cream 20

CC Creams are designed to help correct skin discolouration. They contain pigments that can help neutralize redness creating a more even skin tone and reducing the appearance of rosacea.

The ELES Luminous CC Cream 20 is a lightweight, oil-free colour correcting cream with broad spectrum protection (essential as sun exposure can aggravate rosacea) that perfectly counteracts redness, so well so that you can get away without wearing any other makeup. Did I mention it’s formulated with skin soothing, nourishing and brightening ingredients too.

“This cream is so light weight and just melts into the skin to colour match my complexion and even my red skin.” Madeleine Mortiss

ELES Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation

When you suffer from sensitive skin or a skin condition such as rosacea, wearing mineral makeup will stand your skin in good stead. Traditional makeup products may contain ingredients that can aggravate rosacea symptoms such as fragrances, preservatives and synthetic dyes. Mineral makeup on the other hand is gentle, non-irritating and can actually help improve the appearance of skin while minimising facial flare-ups.

The bestselling ELES Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation is packed with skin loving ingredients and provides the perfect base for your face as it works wonders at camouflaging facial redness. It is also highly compatible with common skin sensitivities.

“Eles liquid foundation is the most natural looking foundation I have ever tried. It matches by skin tone perfectly and feels comfortable on my skin. It does not dry my skin as other mineral foundations have done in the past and is safe to apply over eczema.” Katherine Barr

ELES Mineral Powder Foundation

Highly compatible with common skin sensitivities, the lightweight powder easily adjusts from sheer to richer, more opaque coverage while effectively camouflaging imperfections.

A brilliant foundation for rosacea, this mineral formula is breathable, protective, and heals skin conditions as you wear it. By using a unique aloe vera base, it soothes rosacea flare ups. The coverage lasts longer and feels lighter than other foundations, giving the impression that you are not wearing make-up.

“The ELES Mineral Foundation Powder blends beautifully and provides excellent coverage. Feels light as a feather. I sponge a little extra over my blemishes – covers redness and uneven skin tone without the caked on feeling of foundation and/or concealer.: Rebecca Vaughan
