dark circles

[#1]

Can you please help me with trying to cover up very dark under eye circles.  I've tried Clinique and Bobbi Brown lines.

Please help!

One of the best concealers out there is Amazing Cosmetics concealer.  You only need to use pin drops and it covers up circles completely.  However, if you have genetically dark circles (I do, that's for sure), something that might help is to use a Bobbi Brown corrector in the little half moon spot in the corners of your eyes, then use concealer to cover that and all the way underneath your eyes.  I do that when I look really tired and it brightens the area up and makes it look like I got a full night's worth of sleep.  Lining your inner rims with a flesh toned pencil like Tarte's will also help with brightening the area up.

I have geneticallly dark under eye circles. It's been a long journey finding a concealer that conceals right without being so obviously fake/too white and weird looking. The best one I have found is by the brand Fusion Beauty, it's called Fusion "line smoothing illumination concealer". I think it's the illumination light reflective particles that does the trick, you should look for something like that when you look for concealers because I believe this brand is going out of business, if you can find it elsewhere, I recommend you go for it. Find out if you can return if you don't like, but like I said any other brand that says something like that should do. Oh and you CANNOT forget to "set" whatever kind of concealer you do end up getting. When your all done with your make up, set it by dusting a finishing kind of powder over your concealer/cheeck area. This helps everything look nice and even (helps erase the line when your concealer stops and begins). Hope this helps!

Try Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightner.  I tried this for the first time a few years ago and have been using it ever since.  I am in grad school so have many late nights, and this has always helped me.  It is a peachy color with a slight shimmer to it so it is great at reflecting the light.  I feel like it kind of needs to have a little time to set before you can see the results, so test it out, dust a little powder or a mineral veil over it, and come back to the mirror in a few minutes and hopefully you'll see some results!

Hi ubus!

Have you considered trying Benefit Erase Paste? It's a great under eye concealer and it has brightening properties to it as well. Sometimes when I'm extra tired (I work 7pm-7am and try to have a somewhat normal social life) I will even mix a little bit of Givenchy Mister Bright in Moonlight with it to give me extra radiance and light. Really brightens up the eyes!

Another product to consider is the YSL touche eclat. Great for covering up dark circles and brightening the eye area

Hope this helps!

I would not use any makeup since you tried other cosmetics. I would try out a skin care. I know it may seem out of topic , but it works. Makeup is my top fav. When it comes down to dark circles it would COVER which is what you want but I would like to get rid of. Easy steps. Look for a under eye cream. Buy it apply nightly and see if results is good. If not I will recommend going to a cosmetics specialist. You will find one. Hope it helped Chow.
