Green makeup: Green makeup will cancel out the redness. Also eucerin redness relief with a licorice extract can calm the appearance of red skin. The could be used together if desired.

Multiple causes : Redness on the cheeks can be from eczema, rosacea or mild keratosis pilaris. See a dermatologist to evaluate it and prescribe treatment. In general, using sensitive skin and unscented soaps, moisturizers and sunscreens helps minimize redness on the cheeks.
