Answer 1

At 15 you can fix that problem with more sleep. Unless it's heritary. Do your family also have dark circles?

Answer 2

The VERY FIRST thing you must do is get a good eye makeup remover. If you leave even a hint of mascara it can look like you have dark circles under your eyes. (Especially if you sleep in it and don't wash it off before bed.) I like almay's eye makeup remover pads that come in a small plastic jar at Target, Walmart, Walgreen's, etc.

Second, try a "brightener" for those areas. Murad (www.murad.com) has a line of skin brighteners that really work. I also recommend going to a salon that offers murad or dermalogica products. Get a facial. (They aren't that expensive - 50.00 or so.) Have them wax for you just that once to see if it is better. If you like the products they use, order them direct from the company or on ebay.

After all that, try yellow concealer under your eyes and on problem areas. I recommend mineral make-up. It's the best. www.southernmagnoilaminerals.com makes a decently priced line with no itchy stuff. I have heard L'oreal has a good line too.

Good luck.

I heard that dying the upper is good. The darkness is there because the skin underneath isn't the same color as the rest of ur face because of the hair and because the upper lip doesn't get a lot of exposeure to light. Give it some time,when u keep waxing (or dye) the color will change. As 4 ur eyes, find a pair of glasses that compliment ur face...it might distract from the dark spots under ur eyes,but when u take the glasses off u'll see the dark spots of course. They have creams out 4 the dark spots, or u could use concealer.(Make sure it matches ur skin-tone)....Good Luck

Waxing is harsh onthe skin and can cause trama if not done with a lot of caution. Make sure every time you wax you put a soothing oil on your skin directly afterward. And the dark undereye circles is a hereditary thing, try a makeup with light reflecting pigments or a yellow based concealer to cover them . Also dab a little of the light reflecting makeup on your upper lip too to combat the darkness.

Answer 5

Dark circles are hereditary. You should try a concealer and try to get on fairly regular sleep habit. Drink water too. These things will help a little, but won't take away the problem completely. I have dark circles too and they do not go away. As far as the lip waxing, you should try lightening the hair instead. Unless it is super dark, you really do not need to put yourself through all of that trauma!

My issues are that i'm 18 and that i don't have a job, I left college at 13-14 and not in any respect went returned, I have no GCSE's and not something, i won't be able to get a job to help my mum who's suffering a week to maintain a roof over our head. i hit upon it perplexing to fulfill new human beings, or to even flow away the residing house as i think that I definitely have Agoraphobia and available Asperger's Syndrome - only like my brother. Yeah existence is perplexing, yet i'm attempting to tug myself mutually the excellent i can, one step at a time & all that.. only experience rather valueless each so often, suicidal concepts have cropped up extra advantageous than as quickly as.. yet i do no longer think of I definitely have the balls to kill myself, or i might have finished it already.

Answer 7

Yickes, sorry girly! Here's what you do, get an under eye concealer just a shade to a shade and half lighter than your natural skin tone and lightly dab it over your upper lip where the dark area is, and under your eyes, it will get rid of those pesky things real quick.

IMPORTANT: You need the RIGHT shade of concealer, if the first one doesn't work, do try another. Good luck!!!

Answer 8

well, don't sleep with your eyeglasses on. nah, just kidding. make sure to get enough sleep and eat your three meals and exercise. you can use makeup if you want to, foundation, concealer, to cover up those dark areas, but be sure to wash it off before going to sleep. pretty much with me, i have the same issue on ocassions, and what i do is sleep in for hours and even miss a day of work. it works. or to just get rid of the whole darkness, tan, so that the dark areas won't be visible. hope some of this helps.

good luck

Answer 9

Change your glasses to your face shape.If its round then use a full frame rectangular glasses and if you have a square face then use a oval framed glasses,but don't choose the grandma types.It'll make evrything worse.

If you got darkness under eyes,place tea bages in water and place them on the dark patches.I heard it was good.Why not try it out?

Gd luck with evrything...
