Cannot hide dark vein under eye with makeup

Has anyone else got a dark vein under their eye that make up just doesnt cover. I've colour corrected and bought creams and different concealers but after the initial cover, moments later it's back again. The only way to cover it up is to cover it in a thick layer of concealer and not blend it out which you can't do either. Anyone else have this issue ? Did you finally find a way to sort it ?

I've had a little success with elf Camo Colour Correcting Concealer, the light peachy concealer. I've also looked into vein removal/laser treatment, seems like the only way to properly improve! I sympathise, mine is a bright bluey green and always bugged me.

I have the same thing! I have really thin skin under both my eyes as well, so if I wear no makeup I look like a zombie 😩 I just started using a tinted moisturiser as I've really started to hate how caked on concealer feels.
It's called Erborian Colour Correcting CC Cream, it was recommended on another thread recently. You can build up the coverage by adding more layers, but I've found I can still see my dark circles (& vein), but I always can.

I hadn't thought of getting laser treatment on it, although being that close to my eye, it scares me!

what about filler for it?

How would filler work? (I also have a prominent under eye vein - so share your pain OP)
