TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Many people who suffer from varicose veins cover them up by making pants and long skirts permanent fixtures in their wardrobes. While there’s no arguing that ropey, blue leg veins are no fun to deal with, there are other ways to cover them up without wearing head-to-toe clothing. If you long to show a little skin again, don't despair. By using a few carefully applied makeup techniques, you can reduce or even eliminate the appearance of the veins.
The use of makeup here is almost the same as applying face makeup, with just a few different techniques. Here are the steps to disguise varicose veins using makeup:
Step 1: Use Tanning Lotion
Apply tanning lotion before dressing so as not to stain clothes. Before using it, choose the closest color to your skin so that the end result will look natural. Apply the tanning lotion evenly to your feet until they are fully absorbed.
Step 2: Apply body makeup
After applying the tanning lotion, use a foundation that matches the skin color, apply evenly with a makeup sponge. Make sure you do not just apply to the feet affected by varicose veins, but also the surrounding area evenly.
Step 3: Concealer
If the varicose veins have not been covered with foundation, use a thin and even concealer. Choose a concealer that is waterproof and the color is slightly brighter than the color of your skin.
