I am 56 years old and I have never been much of a makeup wearer, but now I feel like I really have to do something to try and even out my skin tone.  Cheeks and nose are pretty red right now, making the area between my upper lip and under my nose look like a 'got milk' commercial.
I just recently read Dr. Baumann's book and have started  a skin care regiman for DSPW's. That has helped calm my skin down quite a bit and I recently was diagnosed with Rosacea and have started using metrogel.  I have scheduled an appointment for an ipl treatment but it is 2 months away.

I have tried a couple of foundations from the drugstore, but it seems difficult to get the right shade (especially when your face has various shades), and it doesn't seem to absorb well into my skin. 
I have also tried a number of things to try and pinken up the area above my lips  to  blend better with my face but haven't had any luck there either.  Even a cream blusher, seems to sit on top of the skin.

I did have skin resurfacing done for acne scarring several years ago with a co2 laser so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.
In the mean time there are lots of social obligations this time of year and I don't even want to be seen in public.
Any suggestions for me??
