Need Makeup Advice.🥰

SandySparkles — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 04:21:51 GMT

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!🥰

6/5 Edited to update photo. Somehow it was removed from my downloaded photos and was deleted from here. Thank all of you that left helpful suggestions.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

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.💝

Have you tried concealer on just the areas that need a little coverage? di

@Desertdi Welcome!🥰 THANK you for asking!❤ I once used a concealer by a vendor who worked here MANY sunsets ago, and sold on infommercials but I do not remember her name!😐 I am looking for something light, but effective, that stays put until it is taken off!😊

I have a HUGE scar that looks like railroad tracks that runs down one leg. I don't cover it...and not a single person has ever mentioned it. di

@Big Joanie So funny...I am 69 this year...where did all the spots on my body come from?....Glad I am here but sheesh, the spots!.

Next week I have a derm appt, I have a brownish spot that is ugly and itchy in my bra area that really rubs..it's a painful itch at this point. I am sure she will remove it.

I am waiting patiently for a cream for sun spots for my hands.

Just wanted to say, I know we all have our sensitivities (I totally get it) but....from what I see you have lovely arms, gorgeous skin and cute veins.

You should see mine they stick out like ropes, they always have, I'm a phlebotomist's dream! haha

@SandySparkles I don't see a problem with your arms! I would just wear them out, if that's what you want. No one is inspecting the inside of our arms.

@Mom2DogsIt is so nice seeing you EMBRACE your age!🥰 I am HOPING you get some relief after your visit with the dermatologist, because I can imagine how uncomfortable that is for you!❤
