Are you tired of dealing with redness on your skin that seems to never completely fade away? If you're longing for a more even complexion, there are tons of color-correcting concealers that can help neutralize redness and even out your skin tone. Perhaps you have a couple pimples to conceal, are dealing with rosacea or eczema, or you simply have red tones within your skin you want to neutralize.

When specifically formulated to camouflage redness, the right concealer can work wonders in achieving a balanced, radiant look. Many use something called “color theory” to achieve an even tone to their skin; it’s why you see so many green concealers recommended for redness, as green is a complementary color to red (which means they sit opposite each other on the color wheel and can neutralize each other when used together). “Apply color corrector prior to concealer if you are trying to perfect a discolored imperfection. A little goes a long way when it comes to color correcting. It's best to stipple the concealer over the color corrector once it has dried,” explains Elaina Badro, celebrity makeup artist. Read on for the best green concealers that combat redness, providing stellar coverage and a boost of confidence.

8 Best Concealers for Covering Redness

1. Best Overall Concealer for Covering Redness:

DR. JART+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30

We bet you’ve seen this viral product! It takes away redness in a snap. It is a secret weapon against both pimples and sinus colds that turn your nose red, as it addresses any type of red spots head on. Just take a look at this video on TikTok.

“Color correctors come in green, pink, yellow, orange, and even purple. If you have dark circles, typically they tend to have a blue-ish tint—opting for a peachy/orange color corrector can help neutralize them before applying concealer. Redness can be covered with green, and yellow can be covered with purple. Pimples can have a red hue—green color correctors can help to neutralize the tone,” says Badro.

Above all, this product has SPF in it, and who doesn’t need an SPF makeup product they love to reach for? The formula is also full coverage yet very lightweight.

2. Best Hydrating Concealer for Covering Redness:

TARTE Shape Tape Corrector in Green

Redness and dryness can sometimes go hand in hand, especially when we’re talking about blemishes. What sets this concealer apart is its intensely hydrating formula. Infused with nourishing ingredients, such as shea butter and squalane, it not only conceals redness but also keeps your skin moisturized and supple throughout the day. Say goodbye to dry patches and hello to a radiant, well-hydrated complexion.

3. Best Anti-Redness Concealer for Sensitive Skin Types:

Who doesn’t love an all-in-one? This buildable, natural-finish palette is perfect for all your color-correcting needs, even beyond redness. This palette is perfect for travel and contains five creamy color-correcting pigments that address any specific color issues you might have.

  • Peach: Helps to neutralize dark under-eye circles and brighten the under-eye area.

  • Green: Counteracts redness and reduces the appearance of breakouts and rosacea.

  • Lilac: Corrects yellow undertones and revitalizes dull or sallow skin.

  • Yellow: Conceals purple or blue undertones and helps to brighten the complexion.

  • Orange: Cancels out deep, dark circles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation on medium to dark skin tones.

“Color correctors typically come in a wide range of colors to help neutralize the face. For instance, orange and red help conceal dark circles for darker skin tones, whereas a softer peach conceals dark spots on light to medium skin tones. Additionally, green and yellow are used to offset redness in the skin,” says Tisha Thompson, makeup artist and founder of LYS Beauty.
