Oh my goodness, that last reply was great. Anyway, if regular cover up and foundation don't work, I really don't know what to tell ya. But for redness from new pimples, or old ones that haven't completely cleared yet, you can mask with egg white. It will soften your skin and reduce the redness. It is kinda gross, but hey, it is cheap and it works. Especially if you do it a couple of times a week.
