Eye circles

i have the worst dark circles under my eyes. No amount of concealer hides them properly so I always look ill.

Can anyone reccomend something to get rid of them or at least hide them?!

me too, and this has been one of the best MN tips ever - worth every penny.

I use Garnier Caffeine Anti Dark Circle. I is a roll on and also helps to reduce the darkness. I prefer it to Touch Éclat and it is much cheaper!

I am going to try the Benefit one too now!

I second the bo-oing recommendation, but I find I have to use so much that it sits in my lines Sad. So I've just started using Estee Lauder doublewear concealer because it doesn't move. It's very good. Some people swear by the bobbi brown corrector & concealer combo too. Hope you find something that does the trick.

memoo are you very pale?

Memoo · 12/11/2011 17:36

I am very pale madmomma, I guess that makes them stand out more.

Yeah me too. I was advised by a make up artist to use a slow facial tanner - like a touch of sunshine-type thing, to lessen the contrast and look a bit healthier. I can't usually be arsed tbh, but when I do, it does work well. As with all pale skin vs fake tan issues - ultimately I just can't be bothered with the faff. Then when you raise a hand to your face it looks like someone else's hand cos the hand is white and the face has a tan etc... know what I mean?

Hmm that's a whole other thread. Think I'll start a pale vs fake tan thread.

I've just started using Touche Eclat and honestly can't tell the difference between that and the £4-ish L'Oreal equivalent called Touche Magique I was using before. In fact, if anything, the latter provided more coverage for dark circles.

I'll save my money next time.

I'm taking all this down!
