You could be allergic to one of the ingredients in the make-up ,cleanser or moisturiser; have you tried anything new recently or have you always used the same ones? That happens to me whenever I use Garnier products. Try a different brand and see if it goes away. Or you could just have sensitive skin, so maybe try products especially for sensitive skin.
It can be a sign of sensitivity. Treat your skin very gently and keep the areas well moisturised (especially at this time of year). My favourite cleanser for calming my skin is Simple Cleanser - better than cleansers costing ten times more. Also avoid facial scrubs in that area.
Oh, I forgot to say (doh!), try OILATUM Junior Cream - its designed for babies with ezcema but I find it really calms the red patches on my face down. You can get it at Boots.
