I have really deep-set eyes and I have dark circles and shadows under them and not from lack of sleep. I was told it was genetic. Any tips on how I can cover them up?

Dark Circles...seems to be a popular question!
Dark Circles are usually a genetic problem. They can be made worse with lack of sleep, allergies, too much caffeine etc. I've been in skincare for 10 years and have never heard of anything working to lighten them...except products containing Vitamin K. Problem is...it takes FOREVER to work, and is hard to put in a product. SO...concealing them is the way to go!
Start with a good eye cream...a firming cream that lightens and brightens.
Apply a yellow concealer...small amount...and always use your ring finger since it has no strength and will not damage this delicate area. Always pat in toward the nose...in toward the nose on the bottom...away from the nose on the eyelid. Very important to prevent creasing and future wrinkles.
Apply an ivory, beige, or bronze concealer over top of the yellow to match your skintone. Then apply your foundation. If you are older than 30...do not put your foundation OVER the concealers. It could appear caked or too heavy. Have the concealer and foundation meet at the cheek bone and blend.
Then, and I apologize for being brand specific, I find great results with Mary Kay's Facial Highlighting pens. They eliminate shadows and darkness. You apply the highlighter after foundation for a flawless finish.
I'm a Sales Director with Mary Kay. If you have any questions, or I can help you in some way...let me know! Good luck!

There is a product on the market called Hylexin that is supposed to get rid of dark circles. A good foundation that you could use would be dermablend or MAC foundation.

i use a correctioner concealant. it looks like a tube of lipstick for the eyes. you just dab it on and pat it with your finger til it looks natural, and presto...circles are gone.

CONCEALER! Girl it can be your best friend! Apply concealer(get it a shade lighter than your skin color) before you put on you foundation/powder.
