The best waterproof make-up to cover bad thread veins? 🙁

Just that. Following a post earlier about Sally Hansen Airbrush legs, it seems some users think it doesn’t provide great coverage and rubs off.

I really need a brilliant and reliable product to cover bad thread veins on my legs. I can’t afford to buy all the products and risk them being ineffective. Please help! x

I have thread veins on my legs thanks to years of standing in my jobs (& genetics), the only thing I find that helps is a tan!

As I've tried all fake tans & gradual tanners but look rubbish I therefore apply factor 30 (so I don't get burnt) & then sit with my legs out in the sun a lot until they're tanned... bad I know!

So I'm following to see if anyone can recommend a good product too.

The last time I had bare legs was at the work Xmas party & I didn't have much tan but everyone especially the men was so drunk it didn't matter...

You can get make up that covers tattoos no idea of any brands but that would work for thread veins.
I got something similar for covering psoriasis. It was completely waterproof and matched my skin colour

Just remembered, the stuff I got was called Covermark. I actually only bought the foundation sample pack as this was enough. I tried Dermablend but didn't like it but know it's also very effective (and I think waterproof) for covering up an skin issues.

Thanks Girl, that’s helpful info. It seems I’ll need to buy it online and it’s so tricky to know which shade to get!
