Do what the woman we saw by the pool in Tenerife earlier this year did.....sunbathe for every waking hour of every day for 10 days with your sunglasses on.

OK, you'll still be a panda but the tan will make the panda eyes look whiter rather than purple Grin

The highlight of DD and DSs evening was to see 'Panda Woman' (as they nicknamed her) without her sunglasses on. Honestly I've never seen anything like it

Try drinking lots and lots of water or a vitamin k cream en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K.

It can also be hereditary .... so stock up on concealer?

Pinot!

Touche Velouté by By Terry (from Space NK) here

It is brilliant - I have purple shadows and this is the o9nly thing which covers them. It is rather expensive but lasts for ages, and I wear it every day.

Don't listen to anyone who recommends YSL Touche Eclat. It's a highlighter, it will just make the shadows lilca and shimmery.

I have that my chick - and it's ossom, but when I am being slovenly (a lá today) I look evil, like I have a batman mask on.

Croissant - ha! I like the idea of no-shadows-by-stealth! Maybe I could concoct a radical hair-do to distract the eye?!

apply a good concealer in a triangle section of your undereye, from inner eye,down side of nose and back up to outer corner. MUCH more efective than colouring in shadow alone

A mild glycolic peel would be good for you, or some laser photo-rejuvenation. I've just had my first peel and thought it was fab. Your skin doesn't actually peel off or anything, it just refreshes your skin. I think a course of those would be fab. Laser rejuvention does atually reverse sun damage so is v healthy.

I think peels are for resurfacing of scarred skin really and fine lines etc.You can achieve the same with exfoliation and good moisturiser. Peeled skin ages quicker in the end as it is thinner.
