Best waterproof product to cover spider veins?

Question:
I've used Dermablend, blending several colors to get close to my leg color. The problem is that the color goes on so uniformly opaque and my leg color is uneven, leaving the area I've applied the Dermablend to standing out like a sore thumb. Any other product that takes into account that many people have uneven skin color on legs? Perhaps its a technique that I may not be using?

Answer: -I'm currently going through schlerotherepy for some spider veins created when I was a pedestrian hit by a car in the 70s - will keep you posted as to the results - never found a cosmetic product that worked. -I've had this done twice, with mixed results. The first time was 7 years ago in downtown Minneapolis at a vein clinic (don't know if it's still there.) I only had a few spider veins on one ankle. The doctor injected a *lot* of the solution. The ankle bruised badly & the veins turned totally black & hard. It took about 10 months for the discoloration to fade completely, but the spider veins were completely removed & I was very pleased with the results. The 2nd time was about 2 weeks ago here in NJ. It hasn't healed completely yet so I really can't say whether or not I'm satisfied, but it doesn't appear that the results will be as good as the first time. One thing I noticed was that the doctor wasn't nearly as generous with the solution this time but I also haven't noticed the extreme bruising, hardening & discoloration. Maybe that's what it takes to get really good final results? I don't know.
