Spider veins

Please HELP me cover my facial spider veins. Seems I get them covered after much layering .... Then I smile a few times and hello they are now exposed on my cheeks and lip again. Yes I use primer and setting spray.  My nose seems to have a dift texture completely. Should mention; I also have 54 year old skin.

Re: Spider veins

Iโ€™m 41 yrs old and Iโ€™m noticing broken capillaries on my face as well- near my undereyes and around my lips. Iโ€™ve had these forever and I do remember when I was in middle school, I had to get a few zapped because they were getting bigger. I donโ€™t know how to cover them either. I am going to try the products that were recommended in your postโ€™s replies. 

Re: Spider veins

@JuJuPhoraBug - I have broken capillaries on my chin and nose.  I use a yellow color corrector (discontinued) or Dr. Jart+ Cicapairโ„ข Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 1.7 fl. oz/ 50 mL  .  This goes on light green, but dries to an unnoticeable beige, that you can wear alone or under makeup.  I apply both with a nylon brush, but you can use your fingers.  You'll also want to apply whatever you use lightly--you're neutralizing the redness, while concealing in layers.  Your foundation will be another layer aiding in concealing as well.

Re: Spider veins

@JuJuPhoraBug  To hide facial veins, treat them like discoloration: use a color corrector to cancel out the vein color. If you normally wear foundation, apply the color corrector beneath it. 

 
  • Red "veins" need a green color corrector. (They're probably capillaries instead, since veins appear blue.) 
  • Blue veins need an orange color corrector. 
 
Remember, the goal of a color corrector is to cancel out the discoloration, not cover it up. Apply just enough color corrector to make the redness or blueness less visible. 
 
 
For blue discoloration, the Lancome and MUFE products also come in orange shades. Or you could try a bisque or peach colored concealer, since those are shades of orangeโ€”and you can pick a shade that's deep or light enough to work with your skin tone. 

Re: Spider veins

@JuJuPhoraBug hi, I also have spider veins, on my cheeks and legs. I'm much younger than you (I'm 28) but I know what you mean. I think these issues are genetic, my father also have them. You can't do much with it. But, if you want to cover them, I heard that green concealers can help to reduce the redness of veins, and other skin issues. So maybe, try this trick!!
