Ever since the last week of October, I've had this mystery allergic reaction developing on my face. It's been freaking me out, because it was similar to the reaction that I had when I found out that I was allergic to benzyl peroxide. But this time the reaction was constantly changing - super dry one day, moist *ugh, I know we hate that word* the next, patchy, bumpy, UGH! Of course, I want to pile on the colour correcting makeup, but I know that I have to be very sparing with my coverage, as to not anger my skin any further.
I didn't want to completely hide the allergic reaction, because that would require A LOT of makeup, and could have resulted in making the reaction worse. My goal has been to make it look like I'm just trying to cover up a bit of a break-out, and not a create a caked-on, full fledged "my skin is rejecting itself" look.
So here's what I have been using to disguise the red-ness.
Almay Smart Shade Perfect & Correct Primer - My only attempt at balancing out the red-ness. This primer is my one and only, and never lets me down. It applies with a creamy consistency, and although it doesn't make the discolouration in my skin disappear, it gives my skin a great starting point.
