Take a lighter foundation and put it under the eyes with a brush or finger and blend it in... thats what i do
Eve Pearl makes the BEST under eye concealers for dark circles. It's really what she's known for as well as being a make-up artist to the stars.





Dark circles are really considered blue in color. To neutralize the blue you need a salmon/peachy color hence, her famous concealor. It IS a bit pricey $30 for the small palette however, it takes years to run out of this stuff. I've had mine for 3 years and have barely made a dent and I'm a professional make-up artist so I do faces all the time. Here's the link:

In the meantime, look at your parents. If either one of them have dark circles under their eyes, chances are your dark circles are hereditary in which case, there's not much you can do but use concealer. Since the color is really ';blueish'; you'd mix a small bit of salmon/peachy concealer with a little of your foundation and dot it under the eye area.





If neither parent has dark circles chances are you're needing more sleep. More sleep means getting to bed a little earler rather than sleeping later. Our bodies cell renewal works best at night than during the daytime. Drink plenty of water, use a sunscreen, and eat well. Those dark circles should go away. If not you can use a product like Factor-A庐 Eyes For Dark Circles by Jan Marini but make sure to LIGHTLY pat on instead of rub on.





Cucumbers, tea bags and raw meat are excellent for swelling and puffiness but don't do much for dark circles.








Hope you found this helpful!





Good luck,

green concelaer is best for under eye circles, but this may be hard because they may be genetic (like mine). Every time before i go out tho I put potato slices over my eyes (they whiten skin naturally) and the darkness goes away for a while. Then they will be much easier to hide with a little bit of concealer of powder.
