It sounds funny, but a corrector with a green tinge will cancel out redness, because they are opposites on the color wheel.

I use this 4-concealer compact from Sephora. It has green in it which does such a great job at toning down the red, then the other 3 are various skin tone shades. There is one that I never use as it is too dark but the other two work well for the different parts of my face.

Like this:

I tried a green tinted base/liquid that was horrible once because it was too heavy for my skin.

Yep, mine is like that except it's the sephora brand. I like that one though, the skin tones look more natural and usable. The tone I can't use in mine is borderline purple.

I agree with the green corrector, also if you try a tinted moisturizer that may help to level out the skin, but you may still need the green corrector depending on how red the skin is.

This.  If you use a concealer from a maker like MAC that uses warm, neutral, and cool tones, using the cool toned shades will help, too.
