Lighten up dark circles

Disguise dark under eye circles by reflecting light away from shadows with a slick of illuminiser. While concealer alone can weigh heavy on the eye area and actually highlight discolouration, a little illuminiser over the top makes skin appear lighter and brighter. Apply it under each eye and gently blend with your forefinger to help wake tired peepers up. We use Elizabeth Arden Sheer Lights Illuminating Pen ($45) – it delivers measured doses of radiance with a brush applicator that's just right for targeting the contoured eye area.

Yeah... same for me :( I've taken to fake tan in hopes that by making the rest of my face darker the circles will look lighter.

I find it hard to get rid of dark circles from under my eyes, sometimes you just have to have an early night so your body recovers.

I've had dark circles since I was a kid, no matter how much sleep I get, it's genetic. Iluminisers don't do anything but make them stand out more. Best concealer I've found is "Max Factor Mastertouch Under-Eye Concealer". Even though it comes with it's own applicator, I find it's best blended with fingers or a sponge. Doesn't get cakey like other products, or settle in fine lines. Smooth application & can be used on other parts of the face too :)

Interesting how some of us are cursed with dark circles and others aren't and this doesn't appear to be due to care or lack of anywhere near as much as other areas of our skin.

I use a bit of concealer and then a pale pink finely milled pearl pink eyeshadow on top. Does the trick beautifully!
