Concealer for red veins

8 replies

I've searched MN and come up with limited options so posting a new thread. Looking for a concealer that will cover red spider veins around my nose and one or two on my cheeks and stay put all day.

Currently using a Bobbi Brown under eye colour corrector in peach bisque, so one option is to look for a green one of these, and some spray to fix it?

I've read about Dermablend but see that has been discontinued.

I don't use foundation on my main face as I'm very freckley but I can just blend it in hopefully.

Could I have some current recommendations? TIA 🙏

green concealer is great at hiding any red blemishes/spots etc

You need a green concealer/primer. The ELF one from Superdrug is pretty good

Same boat - freckly and I've never really done make up beyond a bit of mascara, but I have a few spider veins on cheek and nose and they really get me down.

Don't have a massive budget for stuff like this, but I got erborian cc red correct after reading a thread on here. Use a brush to put it just on the red bits and blend. It's really good and goes on nicely/doesn't look like I'm wearing anything - but doesn't last all day which is annoying... but it may be that I don't have enough make up knowledge to get it to stick!

Elf sounds good, will give that a go and see what it's like - and following for any other suggestions :)

Yes I was hoping for something long lasting. I can cover it with any old concealer but the issue is that it's not really lasting. Hoping green concealer might be better.

I've also been reading about treatment to have them removed. I don't think it's permanent but I might give it a go. I have one that is just inside my nostril coming down and it looks slightly like I have a permanent nose bleed.

This Is amazing.

@redstripestar me too! Looked into it but will probably end up being too chicken in case something goes wrong.

@Firenzeflower that's the one I got, it is really effective, and I love that it's not cakey/dry - other ones I've tried seem to end up filling my pores so I look like I have tiny white freckles. If only it would stay put it would be perfect!
