When I blush, I get so red that people point it out. What should I do?

Going red in the face is on trend. People pay $25bn a year for the look, writes advice columnist Jessica DeFino
Hi Ugly,
In the past year I have stopped wearing makeup and am feeling a lot more confident in living life with my natural face. The only issue is that when I get embarrassed or offended I tend to blush and go bright red. People then exclaim, “You’re going red!” which makes it even worse. I used to cover my skin with foundation, which was a comfort blanket. I feel the only way to hide this is to wear foundation, but I don’t want to go back. Please help!
