I know some of the gurls down like the spray on pantyhose but I use it as makeup for my legs that won't rub off. I have blue veins that show through any sheer hose I wear. Plus scars and bruises it also hides some hair. I know some of you wear more than one pair of hose at a time to hide the imperfections. I like just to wear one at a time. Also I like sheers to opaque. Is there anyone who feels the same or am I just hook on something?

I've tried it, but was trying to even out a tan. Hmm, may try it again under stockings. Thank you for a good tip.

I have seen it in stores for the last year and wandering on how it may work. About three weeks ago I was a customers home and the wife was wearing a nice short skirt but no hose and did her legs look good. Before I left I used to restromm and there it was a can of spray on hose. Now I have to get it, but to busy with work right now and have no time:sad.:sad:

I can use some of that. My legs look worn out, and I usually wear tights to cover them better. Is there a particular brand that works well?

Here's a reprint of a review I put in the makeup forum a while back, hope it helps:
Leg Makeup: Be warned that both products, even with lots of set-up time, will still rub off on your clothes to some degree, so be careful. Both come off easily in the shower. I used both products all over my body, which work well to even out skin. The Invisible Stockings runs about three times the cost of the Almay, but you get more than three times the uses out of it than Almay, so it's a better buy I think for a better product. If you want a thicker "airbrushed" look, buy the Almay, otherwise, the Invisible Stockings is the way to go.
Almay's bare-it-all legs (tan veil). It covers very well (follow can's directions), but ends up feeling a little chalky, and your hands will end up feeling like the Mojave Desert in July. Sets up with a very matte finish. 7/10.
Invisible Stockings by Judith August. Initially covers not at well as the Almay product, but a second coat does the trick. I mixed it 50/50 with Nivea's Silky Shimmer lotion, which was easy in a small bowl, and left it not as dry. Versatile, and as a more natural look I think than the Almay, and sets up with more of a sheen, esp. if you pre-mix with lotion. 8/10.

I put a little foundation on an old roller hockey scar on my knee... And I I only wear more than one pair of stockings in the summer when I let my legs fuzz up a bit!
Personally I wouldn't use the spray-on but if you use nylons over it I guess we can grant you a special dispensation!! Lol

Almost always with nylons just doesn't feel right without and my legs don't look blue under them.

I've had one leg fixed with a closure procedure, but my other leg is still riddled with veins and both my ankles are blue (or purple). So I have used foundation to cover them up under nylons. Seems to work well and I don't care if it smears onto the nylons because they're going in the wash after. Now, I wonder if I should try the spray-on stuff, too.

After it dries it doesn't rub off and if you get wet ( rain or something ) it won't off you have to use soap and water and rub it off. Just get wet in the shower won't take it off.

I've found that ESTEE LAUDER has a product called Maximum Cover. It's a camouflage makeup for face and body.
just a little bit goes a long way. helps out with my pitiful "pins" .

While you were in the rest room and spotted her spray on tan, You should of tried some:D , she probly would not have noticed a little bit was gone, they do sell it at CVS Drug stores, in the make up section, I saw some the other day when I was in the store , 2 for 1 sales on lipstick ect.. I guess I i;ll have to add it to my shopping list, I think I will check it out at Wal mart, prices probably cheaper there.also chance to pick up a few new fall tops, :heehee: :heehee: I have a pair of red pantie hose so so not to worried when wearing them, I buy alot of my hoserey at Lane Bryant good sales, buy some get some free, and the sizes and colors are vast, Love Charolette

My company makes Leg Gloss (leg makeup). It does cover veins and imperfections and it does go on well and is moist but eventually dries on. It will get on your pantyhose when you take them off. It's a type of paint or dye that is used to achieve the coloring effect just so you all know. All FDA approved and food grade really and water soluable.:happy: Ericka/Rich
