You can't see it through photos but you have no idea how different it really is. My skin is VERY transparent and you can see my veins in my temples and eyelids, I have blue bags under my eyes, and freckles all across my cheeks. It is 100% covered now.
My way of covering veins:
Put the pink/ salmon/ orange concealer down first. Now apply your foundation, do not swipe it on, you need to pat, especially on these vein-y areas. Let it settle into your skin. Apply concealer and let that get settle in. Pat that until it's blended and then set it straight away. Pat the powder on with your brush don't drag or swipe.

Thank you Megan :) I love them too haha. Totally, veins really bother me so it's nice to have found a way to actually cover them and maybe help someone else out. :)

Aw thank you Sandra :) The sad thing is though some girls do try and make themselves look someone else. I don't like being on camera bare face but I think it's important to show younger girls your bare face as much as your done up one so that they don't feel like they need to be constantly made up when presented to the public or feel like they need to hide their natural face away from everyone haha.

I have very veiny skin, to the point that it freaks my sister out, and a lot of freckles. I choose to embrace my veins and freckles! I know some people think veins look creepy and freckles are annoying, but I think it makes me unique and looks 'delicate' in a way. That being said, you look absolutely gorgeous the other way too! :) x

Thank you Aisling! haha it must be an Irish curse or something :P I don't mind them at all with no make-up on, I just hate when the rest of your face looks flawless and the same colour and there's a big blue vein sticking out :(

You look gorgeous before and after :) I have the same problem with veins, especially under my eyes. What do you think about the Catrice concealer? I've been thinking about buying it but I'm not sure; I would love to hear your opinion on it :)

I really like the Catrice concealer considering the price. I use the green and the pink for daily use and on days where I don't want to wear foundation I'll use the lightest shade under my eyes and the slightly darker one everywhere else. It's very creamy and it does cover a lot but it does slightly crease under the eyes. For price it is most definitely worth buying. I can't remember why but I don't like it on top of foundation though. I'll try that out tomorrow for you and let you know why haha

Haha thanks! Now I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it; for the price you can't really go wrong. If I happen to not like it (which probably won't happen!) at least I didn't spend too much on it.

I only used the catrice concealers and rimmel stay matte powder on my face so you can see how well it did for yourself :)
Products used:
All Round Concealer by Catrice
Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder
17 Instant Glow Bronzing Powder (very little.)
Bourjois Blush in 34 Rose D'or on my cheeks, eyes and lips for a touch of colour.
Natural Collection Lip Gloss in Clear
and.. Maybelline Colossal Mascara.

Okay, now I'm convinced! I'm definitely buying it. Your skin looks flawless :) And I'm not too bothered about the foundation thing because now that summer seems to be in full swing where I live, I never want to bother with foundation anyway. Thanks again for your help :) I've been poring over reviews of different concealers, but I'm a very indecisive person and just couldn't make up my mind lol :)

It's definitely a bargain even if you do end up using only the pink and green :) the skin colours actually mix together brilliantly too so you can get the perfect shade! Glad I could help, it's so much better to be able to see the results rather than just word of mouth :)
