Under my nose and a little on my chin I have redness which I have been told is due to broken capillaries, the skin doesn't feel dry or anything however make up doesn't seem to cover it and when I put make up on it looks stuck to the skin as if it is dry- please help me!

Thank you :)

What kind of makeup are you using to cover the redness? I have it in the same areas.
I personally would recommend a green concealer, as green colours cancel out red. also, I would recommend using a primer, even if it's just in that area. it will give the makeup something smooth to grip to & won't make it look cakey in that area.

you can also try moisturizing the area more often or exfoliate if you don't already do it about once or twice a week.

You probably need to exfoliate just a bit to even out the texture. What makeup are you using to cover it? Are you using primer?
Primer can help with patchiness, but it needs to be silicone based if you have a silicone foundation, or water based if your foundation is also water based.

I'm following this because I have the same issue with broken capillaries around my upper nose/inner eye and makeup never sticks there for long, even with a primer. Do yours look anything like mine, here is a pic:

I suggest using mac prolongwear concealer. It's full coverage and lasts long. Jaclyn hill on YouTube loves to use it as eye primer.
