dark circles....do you have them too?

Question

I have some chronic undereye circles that are always there even when i get enough sleep. they aren't too bad when i do get enough, but i was wondering if anyone else has them and how do you cover them up? what makeup, lotions, treatments have u used? i'm sick of looking like i just woke up from the grave in the morning!

Answer 1

The skin there is thinner, and some of us just always have shadows there. Mine improve when I'm hydrated, healthy, and rested, but when do all 3 ever happen? Lotions won't change dark circles. Makeup will only cover it, but I find that too much concealer makes them obvious. I dab a little concealer only in the inner corners of my eyes. I wear face makeup and blend from the cheek towards the eye, but I don't cover the circles. Then I just wear bright shadow to bring attention to my eyes, and leave the circles be. You might want to try concealer, or creamy foundation, or just a bit of powder.

Dark circles are tough to cover, though, and makeup can look really obvious over them. Apply in good lighting. Good luck!

Answer 2

I have them & I hate it! I havnt found a conceler that stays on or looks natural so I dont even try to cover them up any more. I heard putting potatoe peels on your eyes at night for about 30min will help, havnt tried it yet but I will. For me its heriditary most of the females in my immidiate family have them, my two yr old daughter has them already. I guess i'm stuck lookin like a racoon LOL.

Answer 3

I have them as well but it seems like when I use plain old everyday eyeliner they dont seem to be as dark.

I'm afraid to use any type of skin care products on my face I never had to and I dont want to start using them now.

I don't think your sleeping pattern or habits have anything to do with it.
