Concealer for nose that lasts all day ? Use Rimmel but it needs constant topping up/red veins

Hello can anyone recommend a good nose concealer that I can rely on at least to last a good few hours ? Rimmel stick is a good colour but needs constant topping up.

Do you use powder or setting spray? I doubt it would last well otherwise but maybe there is one

BloomersAreIn · 19/08/2026 21:04

Do you use primer and ‘green stuff’. I don’t know what the green stuff is called. Like green foundation.

Also, Niacinamide.

Interested in this thread?

Why not just a heavy duty foundation? It’ll have more staying power.

First, it’s sort of tacky so not only does it help reduce redness, it grips the other stuff on. I’ve found the more other stuff I use the less foundation I need. I use nicanmide first, then primer, then a tiny amount of ‘green stuff’ on the red parts of my skin then foundation. It sounds a lot and a bit high maintenance but it’s not really. My foundation use has definitely gone down.

That didn’t work for me as it just went into the creases around my nose.

Salycilic acid cleanser for redness. Then high SPF moisturiser, then green stuff, then tiny amount of whatever foundation you like.

Op look on YouTube/instagram for some simple skincare and make up routines. I’m afraid shoving some concealer on by itself won’t be helpful. Dermatica has helped a lot with my nose that started looking really red in my 40s for no apparent reason! Plus a bit of makeup but applied right. I use an elf concealer plus usually a CC cream, powder and L’Oréal setting spray, but I’m no expert.

I like Rosalique for covering up my pinkness ☺️ That and Double Wear.

The red is because of thread veins will a salycoc acid cleaner work on that ?

Also where do I buy the green stuff and what's it's proper name 😁

OP posts:
BloomersAreIn · 22/08/2026 17:23

I use salyatic acid cleanser as well. I've been using it for so long I actually forgot I started because of redness. My skin is definitely less red than it used to be. I'm diluting my foundation now as it's too thick.

The green stuff is called colour corrector. Most make up brands do one. Someone up the thread recommended the Elf one but that's the only one I've bought that I didn't like as it was really pale and not green enough. I've got a L'oreil one at the moment but I've had all different brands in the past.

That’s exactly what I do. Rosalique on my hooter, let it set for a minute then Ester Lauder double wear foundation.

@JMSA @Moveoverdarlin I've just looked and it says 3 in 1 with SPF ? Use that ?

I had red veins and always struggled to cover them. I was very conscious of them. I was having a facial and the beautician said she could remove them with a needle if I wanted. It only took a few minutes and they have never come back. I hardly use any makeup now.

Yep that’s it. 3 in 1 anti redness miracle formula. It’s about 30 quid but it lasts ages as I literally only use it on my nose. It’s green but when you apply it it turns in to a browny / orangey colour.

I don’t like it the first few times I used it but now I literally couldn’t live without it. My nose is just constantly red. The rest of my face isn’t, but this stuff really does help.

But I would always then do normal make-up over the top.

RoseandVioletCreams · 22/08/2026 19:41

@Moveoverdarlin thanks and will it last ! Or if the Rimmel comes off will it leave a green nose 😂

Really ?? How much did she charge ?
What kind of needles ?
