can anyone recommend an under eye concealer that will lighten dark circles a bit?

Answer 1

rimmel

Answer 2

-Bags are sometimes caused by water retention, if you're retaining water your problem may only be temporary and will clear on its own.

-Sleep on your back. Apparently this keeps water from pooling up under your eyes overnight.

-Use an anti-puffiness cream or serum, there are plenty out there. Dab it very gently under your eyes and pick a formula that can be worn alone or under makeup. I find that those containing chamomille work well. I have sensitive and oily skin and it works well for me when I need to use it. Overnight I use Neutrogena Active Copper cream, works well and I found that I rarely wake up with bags anymore.

-Stay clear of things that irritate allergies or the eyes in general (i.e., cigarette smoke)

-Bags that are hereditary or are the result of fat deposits building up will likely require surgery to permanently remove them.

A couple of "home remedy" type things I found too:

Raw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!

To Make:

1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.

2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.

To Use:

1. Spritz eye area with water.

2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.

Also, you can place a couple of spoons (metal) in your freezer overnight. While lying down, rest the cold spoons on your eyes for 10-20 minutes. According to the site I found this on, the condition should improve after 14 consecutive days of use. My personal opinion is that overnight in the fridge is a better choice or a cold compress of some sort. I don't know if anyone out there has ever had the experience of pulling something frozen off of skin-but it HURTS and can tear skin off.

There are countless ways to decrease or diminish eye baggage. These are just a few suggestions. Hope they help.

Try Physician's Formula Magic Cube Concealer.

YSL Radiant Touch (Touche Eclat) Concealer pen. It freshens up the under-eye area and hides any dark circles. 8 hours sleep in a tube! Miracle stuff!

Answer 5

Try Clinque or Estee Lauder. They make good concealers. Be sure to only apply a little. I used to apply too much and it got in my eyes. So I stopped using it.
