Doris, I ordered the kit about a month ago, with the same question in mind and felt too sheepish to ask. I have used it around my ankles and it does work, my only hesitation in recommending it for that purpose is there is not a broad spectrum of shades to choose from (light, medium, tan, rich) so if you intend on getting it for ankles only, you can figure out which shade you want. But if you want to use it for both face and spider veins you may need two different foundations I didn't, but I really limit my sun exposure. My best friend plays tennis all the time, wears sunscreen on her face but is going for tannest legs of the year I think, she would need two different shades. The concealer that's designed for under your eyes is epic, in that it doesn't wear off so really good for what you're looking for, but even though they're called the same color (medium for me) the concealer goes on lighter. I have only been using the product for about three weeks and am still kind of in experimentation mode. Hope this helped.
