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
