I am HOPING one of you wonderful makeup mavens can help me.🥰 Father Time has caught up with me, and the green veins on my arms and chest are now VERY noticeable.😐 

 

I think I remember another poster with a similar issue a few months past, but I have memory issues and could be confused. I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for body makeup that will not transfer to clothing now that it is short sleeve weather. THANK you in advance if you do!🥰

The Westmore brand is all I've tried and it does work.  However, you really must take a towel after it's set and rub off any excess.

I hope this helps.😊🌸

@SandySparkles - they honestly don’t look bad at all to me. I think mine probably look the same.

In any case, I know there are methods out there that will fade the look. Some are done with a type of laser treatment and another one is called stripping, I believe.

Those procedures would probably not be covered by insurance since they’d be considered cosmetic and not sure if you would be would qualify since they don’t appear that bad.

I know how it is to criticize ourselves more harshly for things we notice that others don’t, though. 💕

Body makeup requires a lot of preparation and does rub off according to what I've read. Just a heads up.

HI @SandySparkles   !!

 

I have a lot of self taners and NONE better than this easy spray mist.  Says 'face' but I have used it everywhere.

 

NO orange, NO smell, doesn't transfer to my clothes or sheets (although I use it long enough before dressing or going to bed)

 

No mitts, no goo, no fall out.....

 

Just mist, mist and later there is a nice bronze color.  You don't look fake at all, IMHO>

Laura Geller has a nice body 'frosting' I have used, but it IS a makeup.  Works well for quick covers, but IMHO, you do need to wash it off just like any makeup.  I couldn't find it on Q anymore, but it is on her website.

You're quite welcome.😃. It is a good product...but not something I could wear everyday.

I agree with @Natureluvr   your veins don't look bad at all.  Seriously, barely noticeable.💝
