Hi, It is best to use a mioneral make up like Glo or Jane iredale. Ideally thje make up should be matched to your skin tone prior to the laser treatment.

Otherwise, Dermablend or Covermark, found in some department store counters, can help hide the temporary color very well.
My cosmetic coordinator is also a make-up artist. She says to use a green base and then cover it with a mineral make-up to camouflage the redness. She likes Mineral-Fusion powder that is sold at Whole Foods.
