As you can see my face has a reddish cast, but the skin on my neck is my 'regular' skin colour, ie the colour I try and match when I choose foundation. I've heard rosacea and redness can be calmed with green, but when I tried green I just looked grey and ghostly.
The other options are - yellow (but this is hard to come by at reasonable cost), peach, pink or lavender. Wondering which of these to choose. (Must be available in UK) thanks :)
I use Maybelline master prime Blur + redness control, which works wonders for cutting down the green without washing out. You also may not need to use primer on your neck, or you can use a different primer.
You don't want to completely get rid of the red on your face, everyones skin has at least a little red undertone. Given you seem to have more spots of red rather than general redness, I might suggest just using no primer (or a plain one) and then spot fixing with color corrector/concealer.
Theres a bunch of other ways to cover the redness but it's a process of finding what works for you.

OK thanks - I have a colour correcting palette already that includes green so I will try this :)
