Thicker concealer for spider veins?

I have some small red veins around my nose which don’t seem to cover up with my foundation and was after something a bit more heavy duty! Does anyone have any recommendations I can try please?

I put a green colour corrector first then concealer and that works for my red threadveins.

Have you considered getting them treated? I had some on my legs and did 2 treatments and they are completely gone.

NARS radiant creamy concealer is the best concealer I’ve tried (I’ve tried a LOT).

I agree however that getting them lasered is a better bet.

I had them lasered off, it hurt and costly and they came back again, it's something you have to top up every year for a maintenance. Fit me concealer is good.

Another vote for Dermacol. I use a tiny bit as my regular concealer for under eyes, thread veins on cheeks and reddish nose. Then I use tinted moisturiser and highlighter mixed as a light foundation.

I hadn't heard of Dermacol, that sounds great. There are so many shades though?!

If I'm a cream/soft beige kind of foundation, what would I be? More yellow toned than pink!?

Lancome teint idole concealer will cover them. It's full coverage and buildable. Lasts all day too.

I had them lasered about 5 years ago, and touch wood they haven’t returned, but if they did, I’d have them done Adair.

I’m probably more pinky tones and went for 215 - on its own it’s a bit too light for me tbh but when I mix it (about 25% to my usual foundation) it works a treat.
