noun
concealer (makeup)
1.
a cosmetic product used to cover blemishes, dark circles, and other skin imperfections
A makeup item applied on top of or beneath foundation to hide pimples, dark under-eye circles, spots, and skin redness. Comes in various formats — sticks, liquids, pots, and pens — and is a staple of base makeup routines.

肌の赤みが気になる人には、グリーン系のコンシーラーがおすすめです。
