Under eye bags/shadow

Mymadworld · 28/08/2018 20:08

I've been looking st my holiday photos and whilst I've always had slight circles & bags under my eyes, they are definitely more pronounced and I'm looking really old and tired Sad

Any creams, remedies or magic cures much appreciated!

Try Instantly ageless, small sachets cream you pat in under eyes, bags disappear like magic, you can get about 5 off ebay for about £9 but you get a few uses out of each one,and it lasts all day sometimes into the next day,
Otherwise not much else

Me and my brother both have very dark circles around / under eyes which are so much worse when tired.

Only things I have tried have been covering them with are:

www.superdrug.com/Maybelline/Maybelline-Instant-Conceal-Eraser-Concealer-Light/p/654050

www.superdrug.com/MUA/MUA-Pro-Base-Prime-%26-Conceal-Correcting-Cream---Yellow/p/408809

I haven't really tried any creams / potions to get rid yet as thought it was genetic Grin I know my brother has tried the following and likes them:

www.superdrug.com/Garnier/Garnier-Eye-Sheet-Mask-Hyaluronic-Acid-And-Coconut-Water-6g/p/763552

Following with interest!

This is what i use, not everyday, but if need to,
Dark circles and bags are probably genetic, mine were so bad i had surgery,a lot of years ago, but coming back slowly
A tube of this last me several applications and is ok if sealed back up for later use

My mum uses my perfect eye it's a cream that tightens up . It works well

newname43 · 29/08/2018 14:52

I have tried that its not as good as Instantly ageless and is more expensive

A make up artist here on MN advised me to use a peachy concealer, then topped with a highlighting concealer, to hide my dark shadows. It's working well so far.

Concealer wont disguise bags though will it?

Concealer is not a permanent option but good concealer and well applied make up is the answer for photos.

Magnesium face wash I have heard helps too.

I use a peachy concealer. Got mine from Superdrug, Elf range.

Notasyoungasiwas · 30/08/2018 00:19

Have just ordered some Instantly Ageless!

Notsurprisedatall · 30/08/2018 06:16

Filler will help for a semi permanent fix. Also reduces the colour

Or use makeup revolution £4 concealer, their new one I can't remember the name but a new foundation is coming out in the same name.
Shape tape from Tarte or the new Too Faced big bottles of concealer.

I'm onto my second My Perfect Eyes. Genetic eyebags just disappear! Don't go mad or it looks unnatural and you look like you've had a slight stroke! 😉

whymewhyme · 30/08/2018 06:41

@Paperdolly can you apply make up under my perfect eyes?

Paperdolly · 30/08/2018 06:45

It has to go on clean dry skin. I put it on, brush my teeth to give it time to tighten and then apply eyeliner etc. You are not advised to rub it or wet it but I guess a powder foundation would be ok.

newname43 · 30/08/2018 20:18

I put instantly ageelss over my foundation, but only apply it thinly and wait for it to dry, not too much or it can look powdery

Fstar · 30/08/2018 21:23

I have very pale skin, sunken puffy eyes that are very dark. Ive found these work for me, colour correction with more of a peachy orange was a game changer for me.

temple spa eye cream

colour corrector, best ive used

revolution conceal and define
