Urrgh.. under eye lines

7 replies

I've got lines under my eyes. They don't look too bad from a distance but close up I can see all my make up settling into them.

How do I fix this? Can I fix this?!

I use CeraVe eye cream and then a Toofaced primer before using foundation/concealer. I'm 40.

Any tips for skin care or make up gratefully received!

No skincare has ever made a difference to under eye lines - caffeine eye cream, retinol eye cream, oils, none of them. However, the best concealer I've used is Glossier Stretch concealer- its lovely and slippy and doesn't sit in lines

Clinique Moisture surge eye is excellent at filling them in - and no makeup/concealer.

I've found caffeine helps reduce eye bags but nothing imo helps with lines.
I've stopped using powder/powdery foundation/concealer around my eye.
Anything powdery just emphasizes the lines.
I really like the BB concealer. Good coverage but also light.

@Girlintheframe that makes sense about the powder. I thought maybe in needed to set my concealer but maybe less is more!

Seconding the Glossier Stretch concealer - it doesn’t really hide the dark circles, but somehow it seems to soften them a bit so I look more louche and less haggard (or so I try to kid myself, anyway) And it doesn’t settle into lines at all. It’s lovely stuff.
