Help for under eye care/improvements

I have dark circles which I know are down to genes so nothing can really be done but my skin also looks sunken and its getting me down. I always look tired and aged. I'm 34 and my eyes look like this 😔

Bumping since you didn’t get an answer

Other people often mention:
Water
Sleep
Colour correcting makeup

Maybe someone more knowledgeable about serums/topical treatments will come along.

Bear in mind too that many women on TV have had fillers to mask the problem!

I understand, OP. I’ve often said that if I went into work without under eye concealer, I’d get sent home on the spot for looking too ill to be there.

I think my circles are largely genetic. I am planning to try YSL illuminating concealer. I think a combination of concealer and light could work well. I used to use a similar item from Lancome and it worked well.

I have a vitamin C serum and I’m experimenting with applying it to the dark circles. I was also considering buying the Ordinary peptides set. In addition, I use a silk pillow case to aid slightly in not encouraging wrinkles in that area. Sunglasses too. If I’ve got dark circles, I want to keep the rest of my eye area looking as good as possible to prevent the whole area looking too dark and tired.

I know how you feel. I’ve had dark under eye circles since birth. I’m pretty good with make up but under eye concealer has never applied well for me so I’ve just lived with it.

I’m now 31 and realised how bad they've become last week. I got my ear tattooed and the artist took a picture to show me from the side… I barely glanced at the tattoo! All I could see were dark circles and deep sockets 😭

I have ordered some make up to try out of my Christmas money. I’ve gone for a Charlotte Tilbury colour corrector that I’ve seen recommended on here, a new concealer brush and the Nars creamy concealer. I’m truly praying it makes a difference!
