I sent you an email to let you know I got some fantastic advice for your under eye make up issue.

I asked the ladies over at the Beauty Blog Network and they generously gave advice (and theres also some great before and after photos). I hope this helps:

Make-up Makes Me Happy writes:
I would suggest she look into the Dermablend brand. They are
formulated to provide very full coverage especially for problem skin. As to which specific product within that brand, I cant really say because they have many options with different purposes. She can go into a authorized retailer and test the different options. But this is definetly the best in my opinion for those types of cases.

I tested a Dermablend concealer just the other day (I think the name is Cover Cream). It was great stuff! opaque coverage, but not caky or heavy–perfect for people who can’t get veins or melasma covered any other way.
I think Jane Iredale also has something similar, but I haven’t tried it.

I would suggest that she gets one of those
concealor palettes with the different colors, so she can custom blend
her colors together to get the right one. They have a whole bunch at
Sephora (too many to list here) and if she has one near her, they can
help her find one that will work.

I’ve heard good things about Dermablend too. Either way, she should
also think about getting a good eyecream to get the concealor to
stick…something not too “slippery” so that the concealor will stay
in place.

Sonia Kashuk (from Target) makes a concealer palette called Hidden Agenda and that works pretty well for me. I can blend to cover circles, my melasma (which just flared up thanks to the summer sun) and anything else that decides to bloom on my face.

MAC studio finish concealer is fantastic I have used that to cover a black eye before (tons of purple blue and green in it too)

let me know if that link doesn’t work…

Also Makeup Forever palettes are what I used to fix the areas under the eyes

you just have to make certain that the concealer is opaque, that you use a brush so you don’t get too much on

Raging Rouge recommends Joe Blasco Orange Highlight 1 to try to cover veins. I bet the orange shade would neutralize blueness quite nicely.

The Make Up Divas writes: I use the Bare Escentuals Well Rested and it does a pretty good job of covering up my dark circles.

kdarby writes: I echo Raging Rouge in that orange covers or cancels those dark veins… (that’s how i’ve been learning to cover up tattoos)… she’s dealing with my exact problem of very noticeable blue veins under my eyes. mac studio finish concealer and dermablend are great recs! can’t wait to try makeup forever!

heavy

I hadn’t heard of that either,but I can ask some of the other beauty bloggers at the Beauty Blog Network for their input. Maybe one of them can give you some advice.
