Makeup and rosacea

I have had rosacea for about 10 years now and as I get older I am getting more red. Some people say that using makeup with green undertones will balance out the red. But when I try that I tend to look sick,lol. My mom has used something by Eucerin but I don't know what it was. Are there any makeup lines or specific products that can help?

L'ancome has a nice "color palette" with shades to minimize redness, sallowness, etc. It goes on under your foundation, so you don't have that green look. I'd go to a L'ancome counter and get some professional advice, if I were you. You'll feel better.
