'Hollow' looking eyes

I was horrified when I was looking through baby photos today, by how much older I look now compared to how I looked when I had our first son. Even in the photos the morning after he was born I looked bright eyed and bushy tailed. Five years and three children later I look absolutely shattered (even though I don't feel too bad).

The thing that really seems to age me is my eyes. They seem to have retreated into these huge caves in my face , and it gets worse as the day goes on. I have very sensitive skin, so don't know that I can try any creams etc, but is there something I can do to me eyelids with colour that will bring them forward a bit and stop making me look so hollow eyed?

Sorry, not too sure about make up but I too have v sensitive skin (there's loads of stuff I can't use) but I find I can use Origins creams, etc.(Available @ Debenhams and maybe other dept stores) They do make up too so could probably help you with advice on that too. Hope this helps!

something pale and sparkly can bring them out, on the top lid and corners but not too much

Thanks - will try both those things

try putting white eyeliner inside the lower rim of your eye.

A second for Origins - they are fab. All of the products are such a pleasure to use and smell gorgeous. I haven't tried their makeup though - so feel a splurge coming on!

(would also recommend Benefit Lemon Aid, which is a magic anti-haggard stuff for eyelids - ask for a demonstration as the counter staff are generally nice)

I think you will need a concealer. I use presprictives and it is good. Remember to cover all the eye area. Loads of people rate the YSL one but for me this is the best.
