Dark Eye Circles

Hide, Treat, Prevent

Written by: Susan S., Chief Helper – Posted: Mon May 7th, 2007

Late-night cramming and early-morning classes aren't exactly part of the college life that you prepare for. All those lost hours of sleep eventually take their toll. One of the first places that you see it is in your eyes, and raccoon eyes aren't the epitome of beauty. The appearance of dark circles may seem unavoidable when you don't have time to study, let alone worry about make-up, but don't lose hope !

You have a few options when it comes to dark circles - you can hide them, treat them, and, ultimately, prevent them. Before we discuss eliminating your dark circles, be aware that late nights aren't the only thing that causes these dark under eye spots. For some people, allergies, anemia and general bone structure also contribute to the problem.

It's accually best to use a concealer brush to apply it. It looks
so much better that way.

And also to hide really dark circles you should use a yellow-based
concealer to correct it then a dab of a skin toned one to even it
all out.

I have really bad dark circles and when it's hereditary like mine
there isn't a whole lot you can do to get rid of them but I've
gotten pretty good at hiding it.
go cucubers really work
and how fo you do a facial?
yeah, the ring finger is actually weaker than the pinky, but the
pinky is about the right size. I found out about the ring finger
being weaker when I played violin.

Since you know, are into Mary Kay, I just knew there had to be one
of their products in there. lol

For many people, 6 hours isn't enough. Especially teens should get
9 1/2 hours if they can.
Good info! Especially the part about the pinky (I was told ring
finger), so I'll have to start changing up my routine.
Interesting. I should try some of that.

What I used to do, if they were really bad, is put a spoon in the
freezer for 5-10 minutes and then press the back gently against
the circles. I dunno why. My Mom recommended it. It seemed to work
for me (temporarily only) but I could just have been imagining it.


I'm an eye cream junkie these days. I didn't know that you should
use your pinky though. I'll do that from now on.
yup im gonna try those cucumber ones but i dont have like really
dark circles so yeahh..
