Under eye dark circles

Mine are awful.  It looks like I haven't slept in a week, which is half true.  What do you guys use (if anything) to help?  Even my concealer isn't cutting it.

Re: Under eye dark circles

  • I just deal with mine even though I look like crap. I feel like it looks even worse when I try to cover it.

  • Wasn't the response I was really looking for, was looking more for answers from people who are actually doing something about them.  If I just decided to deal with them I wouldn't have posted this.  Thanks though.

  • I use a cream that has always kept my dark at bay. But its meaningful beauty so you can't just buy it in a store. When mine are more noticeable, I will put on primer and foundation, then I have an eye brightener I use. I forget the brand but it helps mask it because it is a little shiny, like reflects light. Then use regular make up like powder and stuff. You could just try a brightener if you don't want to do full face make up.

  • Are you just using concealer? When I used to get really red pimples on my face and concealer didn't help, I found that using either foundation or a powder over the concealer worked. :)

  • My midwives told me they could be caused by anemia. I always have them due to just having thin skin, however they've been worse during pregnancy, but since I've upped my iron, they've definitely gotten better. (I wasn't anemic before pregnancy, but am a little bit now.)

  • I also heard that putting something cold against them for a few minutes in the mornings will help with swelling and the dark circles. My concealer is still working for me (usually) but I do have bad days sometimes! Sometimes I have to put more than one layer of my concealer on.

  • How about cool, wet teabags? I heard it helps.

    Teabag and let us know how it goes. Stick out tongue

  • Thanks ladies.  I'm really uneducated when it comes to makeup.  I don't have the patience for it usually.   I was thinking about doing the teabags, I actually have some cucumber tea so maybe I'll go with that, with the whole putting cucumbers on your eyes thing.

    Yeah, I don't wear make-up at all (You'd understand, being in the food business. Not worth the time), so these are things I think I'll be trying, too.

  • I've always had them and tried a bunch of different things. My favorite product is Physicians Formula concealer stick, it's like a yellow color... from a drug store. For me, yellow covers more than just a regular concealer, and after you blend it with your skin it doesn't look yellow. Sometimes that's all I put on, because my raccoon eyes bug me more than anything else. Just a couple swipes under my eyes, and I look so much more awake and rested.

  • Hii,

     Since last 5years i have a superficial issue that has bothered me alot, that I was really hoping would eventually get better...and i tried so many creams to get rid of this..... But i didn't succeed in my way....After I heard about Revitol Eye Cream, I just went and did a quick search on Revitol,and i came to know that this cream is made up of non toxic Ingredients. From last 3 Weeks I am using Revitol Eye Cream & almost 60% of dark circles has been cleared. Revitol Eye Cream is a wonderful treatment for dark circle.I believe there is so much we can do with this product and i will help to get rid from dark circles.
