Concealer for thread veins/broken capillaries

5 replies

Naughty1205 · 05/12/2017 11:14

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a concealer for small red veins on face? I don't understand why they are appearing more often now. Am in my 40s. Have one under one eye, another near my nostril, not sure if it's from waxing my lip? And a few more on cheek. Not sure what to do to prevent them coming. Until I can afford laser surgery (and a face lift etc!) I'm stuck with them. Any recommendations appreciated!

It's genetic, and also from sun damage so wear SPF religiously. I have had them since my teens when I was not careful. I cover then with mac studio concealer (the pots, they are spf 35 as well).

Thanks for the reply Ana and the info!

Don’t waste money on laser - I’ve had mine done twice now and they come back pretty quickly.

I use Benefit Erase Paste.

I had a vein zapped in my nose, it looked great for a few days but came back again. Not worth the effort.

Thanks for the replies. Can't believe laser isn't worth the money. Looks like I'm stuck with them then. I was brutal for the sun back in my 20s, lesson learned and always wear spf since. Am very pale. Will look into the mac and erase paste. Thanks
