Hi Jennie,,Jerome Alexander magic mineral make up.Asda,Wilko a few others stock this.14 grams in anice attractive compact,,it has green,pink,purple and goldy bits in too they all do a job ,,eg,,the green hides redness on the face,,it is all in the same compact.i always hated sitting applying concealer,then foundation etc,,and always felt gunked up if you know what i mean,,,,i also suffer with broken veins on my face and with a quick swirl of the brush in the magic minerals my face is camaflouged in less than a minite,,,hey when i bought it £19.98p i thought it it work i be amazed but it really does.Not dirt cheap but does last ages though. p .s it also comes with a nice mascara in the pack,,i love that too all included in the price.x

the red cross do specialist cmafolage make up and lessons in covering up may be worth contacting them

re the Red Cross, you can get your Doctor to refer you, then you can have the camoflage make-up on prescription ;0)

i don't have the butterfly rash but do suffer allergic reactions to water thus making my face angry and red at times. This usually goes down quite quickly but if not i too use Clarins, their Instant Light Complexion Perfector under one of their foundations seems to do a pretty good job. if it's really bad then i'd say go down the Red Cross route as i've seen on tv how well their make up camoflages.

Bare Minerals does it for me, it feels light after the moisturiser and F50. I brush on as little or as much as I need, and my skin doesn't flare, like with a lot of other cover- up I have tried.

Ask for a referral for camoflage makeup from the dermatologist
