Makeup would require a great deal of thick makeup to completely cover the anchor—similar to how just putting some foundation on a lightbulb isn't going to completely block out the glow without a lot of layers—and would have the usual issues makeup has in terms of wearing off, being vulnerable to sweat or moisture, feeling tacky or dry to the touch during handshakes, etc. But it would be possible for someone to temporarily disguise an anchor that way.
Handwraps would probably not be too obvious if both hands were wrapped and it appeared to be for utilitarian purposes, like preventing blisters while handling weapons or shovels/rakes/other farming equipment, rather than "oh no I injured both of my palms somehow" injury bandages. Walking around that way all the time for no apparent reason would probably become obvious! But they would be good for, for example, making people actually be looking for rifters or paying attention to their hands in order to think about it, without the glowy green stuff drawing attention to anyone.
As far as we know invisible gloves are a joke and don't exist in Thedas.
Gloves resembling hands will look strange, as they'd presumably have seams along all of the fingers and so on, but in situations where no one is going to be looking at or touching someone's hands, they may help.
Fake prosthetics will work, but obviously come with limitations that make them unsuitable for certain kinds of work, and can't be used for more than one person at a time without drawing questions.
Patches would need to be thick (due to the painting a lightbulb issue) and have strong adhesive, and would be subject to the usual problems with handshakes and so on giving them away as Not Skin. If they were like bandaids they would probably retain dirt and so on and need to be changed. Leather might be unaffected longer.
Jewelry will work in fancy situations if it's large enough to cover the anchor on both sides of the hand and tight enough that bits of green light don't sneak out around the edges.
Dye won't work—at most it might alter the color of the light anchors give off a little bit, but it's magic and the luminescence can't be dyed.
There won't be any enchantments to hide them, but she's welcome to ask!
And incorporating gloves as a standard part of the Inquisition uniform would be fine, to the extent that isn't already the case, and emphasizing the importance of non-rifters wearing their gloves when on assignment with rifters so they don't stand out is a good idea.
