Due to a lack of sleep or a lack of nutrition, I have bad undereye circles. Does anyone have any good methods for fixing them/covering them up?

Foundation or concealer works pretty well on undereye circles. (Or so I've heard.)

Ugh I've had undereye circles since as long as I can remember.
If your like me then cover-up and other forms of makeup just don't work.

Here's some home remedies I've come across, maybe one will work for you.

Quote:
mix a drop or two of honey with 2-3 drops of fresh lemon juice. Apply to the area under the eye. I honestly can not remember how long to leave this solution on, but I leave it on for about 15 min. to 1/2 hour and it seems to work.


Quote:
Take 1 tsp. tomato juice, 1/2 tsp. lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a tsp. of flour. Make a paste and apply. Leave for 10 minutes and wash off.


Quote:
mash a banana as thin as you can and put it under your eyes and on the rest of your face too for 5 minutes and then rinse it off... It makes your skin softer and reduces the under-eye circles.

Here is a general concealer rule that I learned:

Dark under eye circles, purple/blue-ish splotches and bruises = use a yellow toned concealer. The yellow cancels out the cool coloring in a sense. I have bad under eye circles and very pale skin, so I put on my yellow concealer and follow up with a liquid foundation or a cream based one a bit closer to my skin tone.

I heard cucumber juice helps sometimes with eye circles.

P.S. - if you ever have any red splotches from acne or anything of that sort, use a green concealer over the redness after using a skin care product for the acne, then follow with foundation.

I hope those tricks PixxyWithPoison posted help (for any lolis with dark circles) you see for me I am insanely pale and I really don't have much color in my skin (no blush or anything) so I look rather sick when my eyes get dark. But with me, my skin just doesn't take to fondation (in liquid or dry). Not only does it cause me to break out, but I have such dry uneven skin that it doesn't blend evenly so, I really just have to deal with it, for me however just drinking more water helped some but it didn't help much, I'm sorry I don't have any neat tricks to post myself, I'll ask around and post if I find anything out ^^;

This is really true! I use this daily and it gets rid of my permanent, hereditary dark circles.

wow these are a lot of great ideas, i should probably try some... >.< usually if you have glasses and such, they tend to cover the places where the circles are, but i just got contacts so nothing to hude them now! um, i actually find taking an ice cibe and rubbing them under your eyes works, but i'm not sure if this'll work for everyone else...

tis cat~

Try sleeping with a slight incline; two or more pillows to prevent fluid from retaining in your face at night as you lay down to sleep. This is a big cause of dark and baggy eyes. Also I've heard constipation can affect the color under your eyes...try eating fiber and staying regular. Oh...and cucumbers! those are a great remedy.

I forget what brand it is, but it is fairly common and is sold in most drug stores, anyways, they make a yellow concelor stick for dark undereyes. It works nicely. Also try sprinkling silver shimmery powder underneath you eyes to brighten them a bit.
