I always have redness on my nose and on its side, going on the cheeks. This stick is not a strong shade of green like other correctors, it's very subtle but calms my redness very well after some patting with my finger. It's invisible under my foundation but it doesn't disappear when I apply it with a sponge. :) So in the end, I use less foundation to cover my redness ! It doesnt look dry or cakey at all which is great on my dry skin.
