concealer fro redness

Options
Can anyone recommend a concealer I can wear around my nose to cover a few spider veins and redness? I don't wear foundation as a rule. I've tried a few concealers but the stick ones tend to sink into the pores making the problem more obvious, and the cream ones don't give enough cover. I did try the green tinged one but to me I just ended up with green on my face! Most concealers seemed to be designed for undereye circles, I'm nervous of using these in case the illuminating bit just makes my nose more obvious! Anyways thanks for taking the time to come to the rescue of a makeup novice.

    I use Lily Lolo concealer and foundation (it's mineral powder). They do one for redness and you can buy a sample rather than forking out for a whole pot.

    I use their normal concealer and it gives the best coverage of any "stick" concealer I tried. They always looked too heavy and caked on whereas with the powder you can build up the coverage in layers.

    Benefit do a couple of options, a redness concealer ( a yellow powder) or either erase paste (which might be shiny, I use it under my eyes) or Bo-oing which they claim is an industrial concealer - thats my personal favourite as it covers everything.
