Getting treatment is critical to long-term rosacea success—but, like most things worth waiting for, clearer skin takes time. So we’ve enlisted celebrity makeup artist Collier Strong for some easy ways to cover up before treatment kicks in.

1. Use a green-tinted primer to conceal redness, follow with a yellow-tinted foundation, and spot treat with a concealer.
2. Be strategic about what you emphasize. If you experience redness around your mouth, try a neutral toned lipstick and play up your eyes.
3. Avoid adding more redness to your face with blush, and try using a bronzer instead to give your skin some color.
