I’ve recently been told my dark under eye circles are from allergies. I cannot spend 95.00 for a tube of eye creme to minimize these circles. Can someone reccommend a good concealer from experience? I’ve tried Max Factor Erase which is thicker than most concealers but you can still see them. I have a photoshoot coming up and I don’t want to look like a raccoon. Are there any pros out there (or even anyone with the same issue) who can recommend a product that truly works? Thanks.

    hold Ice cubes under your eye for a bit. I do this when I wake up in the morning, give it a shot. As for concealer sorry I can’t help.

    an eye brightening stick… or if you can’t find one, a white or pink thick eye pencil. just smear some on your dark circles to bounce off light and create the illusion that you don’t have dark circles! voila!

    Try to find a conceler that gives a little “glow” or has reflective minerals. They reflect light and help concel the dark circles.
    Try using an under makeup primer. They are not expensive and help to even out skin tone. They also keep makeup from moving into creases.
    Go just a shade lighter that your make up. You do not want light circles around your eyes.
    Do not over do it. That will make it worse.
    Make sure you moisturize before applying any cosmetics.
    Use light colors on your upper lid. It draws the eye up.
    Get some sleep. And cold wet tea bags do help with swelling and dark circles. Drink alot of water.

    I was born with dark circles under my eyes and if I’m tired they are really obvious. I use Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat. It comes in 3 different shades and it works. It lasts for ages. I’ve had mine for 5 months, use it every day and it hasn’t run out yet.

    I think it’s important to really understand the causes of you dark circles before trying to treat the dark circles. My friend has serious dark circles and her dark circles are improving by following the information provided by http://www.darkcirclesundereyescure.com

    Mary Kay has great products specifically for this problem! To permanately help these circles go away you can try our “Targeted Action Eye Revitalizer”, or to cover them up temporarily, the “Facial Highlighting Pen” works miracles! Check both of these items out at my website – and good luck :)
