Undereye Circles?

Question

Are there any tips/secrets to concealing/getting rid of dark undereye circles? Mine are hereditary, so getting sleeep doesnt help them. I've tried concealer and other products, but they don't work. Are there any special cremes or homemade remedies that might help? (In exception to cucumber slices...) Please help! Undereye circles are really a bother and tone down your overall appearance. =[

Answer 1

I have the same problem. I use cucumber rings to lighten the dark circles. Also take Vitamin E capsules. Also try raw potato juice. Cut the potatoes in circular pieces(also cucumber). Close your eyes and leave it for 15 minutes. Twice a day will bring miracles.

Answer 2

A gel eyemask you can find at pretty much any health store. Or concealer like, Benefit's Lemon-Aide, it is industrial strength, or you can use the more natural Boi-ing. Yellow tinged, and it works great. What feels really nice too is the Ooh La Lift gel from Benefit cuz it sooths the eyes before applying the concealer. Good luck!

to "yumyumpickles" your alllowed to attempt on each thing interior the save! and despite shade you have, you would be able to desire to attempt to counteract it with the alternative. so say your undereye circles are like blueish you would be able to desire to counteract that with a purple tones concealer. while you're an NC colour in mac then you certainly might wish an NW (pinkish) colour fro a concealer. in my view i myself like the studio end concealer. in case you warmth it up along with your finger it is going on quite creamy.

Answer 4

Use some makeup. Get brown powder that is close or the same to your skin tone. Put some under your eye, enough to cover the dark spots.

Answer 5

OMG...I have them too..and mine are herideratary.........I just find that using a mostuireizer works well to even our my skintone. I also took someones advice on here about the potatoes, and they didnt work that well for me...and there are some reasoable creams that you can buy.

Answer 6

there is a makeup line called 'Performance' it has corrective makeup. Use the 'Minus Blue' only under your eyes. It's underlying pigment is red, so it eliminates the blue. In the pot it looks like a yellowy color but it works. if you have red patches you can use the 'minus red'. i'm not sure if this is the only line that carries it or not but it works

Answer 7

you can try and get the lotions they have in stores....but what i do is get an ice pack and leave it over my eyes for 5 to ten minutes.... and then with regular lotion... or face lotion dab it on my dark circles.... the dabbing motion actually helps ur blood flow so it doesnt appear so dark...

Answer 8

If you get a plastic baggy and fill it with anything like frozen peas this really helps-sounds silly but works.

good luck!

Answer 9

the best way to conceal them is to GET RID OF THEM! I've suffered with dark under-eye circles also, so i did a lot of research into natural lightening ingredients, here are some of them;

please be careful using these ingredients especially if you have sensitive skin

LEMON/ JUICE - rub juice into skin or zest the lemon and grind it up with the juice and apply to skin
COCONUT OIL - rub into skin (a great moisturizer)
TEABAGS- place damp teabag onto shut eyes
CUCUMBER- you can juice it and use it to rub into your skin or just cut 2 slices and place on shut eyes or cut one up and rub it all over your skin
POTATO - you can juice it and use it to rub into your skin or just cut one in half and rub it all over your skin
ALMOND PASTE/ OIL- soak almonds overnight then in the morning crush into a paste then apply to skin like a mask/ or massage oil into skin
VINEGAR - rub onto skin
MILK - a great cleanser

i messed around with these ingredients and ended up brewing a normal tea bag in a small amount of hot water. i then added lemon juice and vinegar. once i was satisfied i had brewed my tea as strong as possible, i added some milk. unsurprisingly this curdled the mixture and separated it creating a buttermilk type mixture and a watery tea mixture. i left to whole thing to settle and then tipped the mixture into another small jar, using a cotton wool pad as filter paper. i repeated this process a couple of times and then decided to use the brown creamy mixture straight onto my under-eyes like a mask and save the watery tea for cleansing before bed. i was amazed to find my under-eyes miraculously lightened ;)

i really hope this works for you :D

Answer 10

I was told to try sleeping sitting up a little. It has helped some, but not a lot.
