I had varicose vein surgery a long time ago, not only did they come back big time but brought big patches of small red and blue veins with them. I can’t do much about the varicose ones but would love to cover up the other ones. I’m wondering if anyone has tried make up to cover up anything on their legs? There seems to be lots of things that claim to cover even tattoos but I’ve no idea of these products work. I’d love some advice as I’m fed up of wearing really long crop trousers or really long skirts

You could try VEIL or DERMABLEND, both used for covering veins, scars, birthmarks, etc.

Just thought I'd boost this.

I have very unsightly varicose veins but find using fake tan ( the kind that lasts about a week) helps . It doesn't really hide them but makes them less obvious.
Sally Hansen air brush legs is good but needs applying every day.

Sally Hanson airbrush legs, it is sprayed on and doesn’t come off until it is washed off.

I've had ugly blue thread veins round my ankles since I was pregnant 40 years ago. I've paid for both Lazer treatment and injections but the veins come back. I bought a tube of cream in Australia called Thin Lizzy, it's supposed to cover tattoos but it read does cover my veins. I only expose my ankles in hot weather and this makes me more confident. I've checked and you can buy it online over here ( not sure if you can buy it in shops)
