How To Deal With Dark Under Eye Circles

First, know what actually causes dark circles. They can be hereditary, or a result of blood vessels lying under your skin.

Then understand what causes bags under the eyes.

Now you can start to deal with them:

-Start wearing sunscreen around your eye area.

-Freeze tea bags or a wet spoon and let them sit over your eyes.

-For severe bags under your eyes, see a dermatologist.

-Up your water intake and reduce your alcohol intake.

-Keep your eye gel in the fridge.

-Actively work on sleeping more and sleeping deeply.

-Get into the routine of using an eye mask.

-Go to bed wearing a soothing, cooling sleep mask.

-Or try under eye patch treatments to depuff your eye area.

Now some makeup tricks to make your eyes look brighter and less puffy:

-Use a concealer colour with orange undertones for the best dark circle coverage.

-For extreme cases of dark circles, use dermablend.

-Grab a nude or white eyeliner to brighten and open up your eye area, which will make you look more awake.

-Reduce the look of bags under your eyes by applying concealer only to the show of the bag, not the bag itself.

-Try using red lipstick under your foundation to cover up dark circles.

-However you decide to apply concealer, use the pad of your ring finger, which is the weakest of the fingers.

-Apply your concealer in a triangle from under your eye down your cheek, not in small dots along your eye line.
