...putting on my foundation? i'd prefer sumthing which is even better than that, i do have red skin/blemishes sometimes and would love these to be covered up, i would love to have fawless skin
any advice?

Estee Lauder do a variety of products that colour correct, it's worth checking them out. You can also use a moisturiser with vitamin e, as vit e is used by the body in healing and you should notice an improvement.

i ahd the numba 17 one and it was crap ! chanel do a really good !

Get some Max Factor pancake makeup and apply with a damp sea sponge.

Be sure to check the colour of the makeup is right for you.

use a yellow corrector for the red spot and blotches as well as the green for dark circles and you should have near perfect skin!

Benefit Cosmetics all the way baby! They do a magical concealer called Boi-oing which covers a multitude of sins and they have a great 'yellow' concealer called Lemon-aid which is designed for eye-lids to disguise redness. It is great on spots and avoids that 'cakey' concealer look on a blemish that needs hiding.
