Dark circles under eyes

11 replies

roseylemonade · 29/01/2021 17:07

Just wondering if anyone can suggest anything apart from the usual.

My under eye bags are so dark and big.

I do try and drink at least 1litre of water a day and get as much sleep as I can but with a 4 year old who doesn't like to sleep through the night, it's not always possible.

Any magic potions? Something I really should get? I was looking at the lumi spa? Anyone recommend this?

I need to know this too....maybe less sugar in your diet would help?

I bought this brightening eye gel from boots recently I think it's working, really should've took a before picture to monitor it but for £4 it's worth a try

My dark circles are awful. Can't cover them at all. But I've recently started using a yello colour corrector under foundation (just a cheap maybelline one I got off Amazon). It's actually made a real difference

I've heard about yellow concealer, any brand recommendations?

I'll try that cream from boots! Anything's worth a shot and for £4 it's not the end of the world if it doesn't work.

Maybe diet could be a factor, I'll look into it!

Sorry, just seen you have recommended a brand!

My dark circles are dreadful too and I have found that pink colour corrector is a real game changer

Bobbi Brown do a corrector that works brilliantly. You can wear it on its own or with concealer on top.

Urban decays colour correctors are good too. I used the pink one recently to cover a bruise and it worked well

Becca under eye brightening corrector is brilliant. Really recommend.

there was a thread on here recently... can't recall the name.. someone on there was talking about... Full cover concealers and light coverage etc... this interesting fact was news to me .. so Im still searching for a good staying power full concealer.. not sure if this is helpful 🤣 🌺

They can be a sigb of allergies and are known as "allergy shiners". So it's possible if you try excluding a few foods they may disappear. Dairy is a key culprit.

After years of trying concealers, I think I have found my HG - I mix 2 Nars radiant creamy concealers together. One is slightly lighter than my under eye area (Vanilla), the other a slightly darker peach tone (Cafe au lait). Perfect!
