Can Add Coverage w/o a Line
It has a pretty good coverage, but I like that you can build on the coverage. After I put it on all over, I let it dry for a minute and then add another layer on cheeks and nose.
Then if I need to add some more coverage throught out the day for whatever reason, I can just reappy where needed without that caked on look. And most importantly to me no line at my cheeks where I need more coverage.

Excellent, long-wear coverage
I too, suffer from moderate rosacea. I work in a busy pharmacy and have found that stress, coupled with working in a stuffy environment, tends to inflame my condition. My colleagues even comment daily on my increasing redness, which has until recently, been creeping from my face to around my ears and decollatage! That was until I switched from ID bare minerals foundation to Mary Kay medium-coverage. I found that the bare minerals caused itching, and actually worsened the appearance of my redness, particularly on my cheeks, and across my nose where it appeared very cakey. Having become VERY dissatisfied with this product, I decided to try Mary Kay which I purchased on ebay. Having read another review, I must agree with them in saying that you can indeed layer this make-up throughout the day as required. I wore it to work for a full 8 hours, and it really lasted the distance even with the amount of running around I do! Come night, as I was going out for dinner I applied just a smear across the cheeks and nose, and it blended in beautifully - without that cakey effect!
I've come to the realisation that for me, powders are very unsuitable for my skin type. Mary Kay medium-coverage would be best suited to normal to oily skin. However I am combination and it is great. There is also a Mary Kay full-coverage, and it's designed for normal to dry skin types. I hope this helps your confidence as much as it has helped mine!

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids,
recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.
Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal
persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who
have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat,
cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory
papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where
flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop
intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous
enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
