Foundation to Cover Up Leg Veins

Hi Everyone,

 

I wonder if anyone would recommend any products they've used that work well to cover up veins?  I thought about trying something from the IT Cosmetics line, a foundation or something.  I have terrible cluster spider veins near my ankles and around my knees.  In the summer if I want to wear a casual dress, I have a little bit of a tan on my legs, (I do wear hosiery in the fall until the spring), I just hate all that red showing.  Any suggestions would help.  Thanks!

I've tried dermablend and it does work. you just have to make sure you get the correct shade and blend it well. I just use my hands to apply it, but maybe a sponge might do a better job of it.

@mom2laxboyz- Dermablend as suggested by another poster.  It is used by dermatologists on cancer patients who have dark discolorations

Dermablend has a leg and body makeup.  It's been around for years and years and is used to also cover birth marks.  Years ago it was sold on QVC but you can buy it in department stores too or places like Ulta.  The women who sold it on QVC had a very bad port wine stain birthmark covering most of one side of her face and the Dermablend covered it beautifully.

There is a Sally Hansen spray-on product, Airbrush Legs.

I have the same ugly veins on my ankles. The Sally Hansen spray does not cover them. Try the Dermablend.

Dermablend.  It's the best.  It's my go to when my outfit exposes my knees because of ugly surgical scars.
