Default What's a good, foundation primer/concealer for red skin?

I have rosacea (very red skin on my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin). There are several companies who make a green tint that neutralizes the red, however I'm having a hard time finding one I like. The first one I bought years ago to cover ance scars they don't make any more. I got a free sample from Ulta of a green tinted moisturizer, but it didn't cover well enough. I got one in a tube from Target--thought it was made by Physician's Formula, but now that I look at it, it's not. It covers well, but it's very thick and dries tacky (sticky to the touch). I use the mineral make up, so it has to be completely dry before I can apply my make up. I have been mixing it with a little Olay moisturizer into it, which helps with the sticky feeling, but it doesn't cover as well.

Does anyone know of a good one that actually works and dries completely? I'm not concerned about cost. I work in sales, so I need to look good, not like I just drank bottle of tequila.

I have mild rosacea which I found out about after visiting a dermatologist. I am light skinned african american and I was concerned about the redness of my complexion. I bought a product that I like a lot. I stumbled upon Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser and Eucerin Redness Relief Daily Perfecting Lotion. I use the cleanser a few times a week and the lotion almost every day under my makeup. Use sparingly because a little goes a long way. If spread on your face properly it really helps and it doesn't feel tacky to the skin. Good luck! They are both relatively cheap at a drugstore.
