dark circles?

[THE G l i t t e r B e a r]

There is Dermactin TS, which is a cream for severe dark circles and puffiness.
It's supposed to be a really good product. I myself have never tried it, but it's gotten some pretty great reviews.

Hopefully you feel better soon.

Make green tea and put the used hot tea bags on your eyes and rest for a few minutes. My friend taught me this and It actually helps~

thank you guys! i will definitely look into those products.
parts of my dark circles are like... brown :/ but that's more like above my eyes.

and yeah... i'm trying to keep myself occupied. i know i'll get over it eventually.

i use the touché eclat concealer from YSL looks very natural and covers them!

Use a concealer or thick foundation (like a foundation stick) under your eyes. Dark circles look dark because they have blue/purple tones in them, use a more orangey concealer to counteract this, and the skin will return to your natural skin colour. Follow with a powder that matches your skin colour, if you wish, to make it stay on better and look less greasy. If your concealer has a drying-out effect and you can't buy a new one, use a moisturiser at least 5 minutes beforehand. This lets it soak in before you apply makeup.

That's really good that you have that awareness about being optimistic =] It takes time, but you can train your brain to think in certain ways. I've had depression all my life and probably the best cure has been making myself busy by organising lots of things with friends or whoever so I don't have time anymore to worry. Makeup also helped massively, along with piano, social sport and diaries.

I don't know if they have this in your country, but have you tried the Garnier Eye Roll-On?

I use it when I've not had enough sleep, and it really works for me.

But, as has already been said, it's more important that you get well. This is just a little something that might help with the more visible symptoms in the mean time. 3nodding

Traditional cures are sometimes the best cures. Slice up some cucumbers and lay them over your eyes for a while. Cucumbers have a natural cooling agent in it that'll relieve stress.

A brightening cream around your eyes and a concealer will do you wonders.
Korres Primrose Brightening Cream is great for dark circles. I only have a sample size, and I have no clue how much it costs normally.
If your circles are blueish, go for a salmon-colored concealer. If they are purpleish, go for a yellow-toned one.

I have pretty bad dark circles, and I use Revlon's Beyond Natural Concealer. It works really well for me and covers up my dark circles really well! Only $10, also.

not sure for creams.
but concealer works to hide it

and about treating the cause... well i have been trying to! i swear i will be so happy and optimistic then it will just all fade away. it's so weird. i'm feeling okay right now though and i know i will tomorrow, too. i'm trying my hardest to stay optimistic.

you can put ice packs on your eyes in the morning to help reduce the puffiness & darkness or cover them with a yellow-based concealer.

but honestly, sleep is the best remedy for making your face look healthy.
it's probably best to treat the cause rather than the symptoms. (:

haha... i've actually been using ice packs as i've been crying... i haven't cried today, though.
it's really hard, it pisses me off because i KNOW i'm going to feel like s**t because of it but then i can't make it stop anyway :/

i do use a bit of concealer, the only thing i'm worried about is the fact that it's made for drying blemishes so it's probably not the best to use around my eyes. it's the only concealer i have right now though! but i always use moisturizer around my eyes anyway.

are there any kind of creams that can make the skin around my eyes healthier over time (rather than just stuff to cover them up)?

[BiteYourLip-and-Smile]

I use light peachish-yellow eyeshadow to cover them on top of a sh*t ton of concealer.
If you have pale skin, like me, use a color like this ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
But, like ms eeveeTM said, it's best to treat the cause rather than the symptoms.
I hope you feel better soon C:

Definitely concealer.
I have to use about a pound a day to cover my dark circles up.
It's genetic, and it sucks.

okay, well i've always had pretty bad dark circles, even when i was in elementary school, and i'm not quite sure why.
i've never worried about them much, but lately they've been getting worse... i've been really depressed and have been crying a lot and not sleeping well. my whole face is looking pretty shitty because of this but my eyes are suffering most. most of the time i will cry at night and then wake up the next day with a horribly puffy face. people probably just think i'm high, because i look all tired and my eyes are squinty...

um, what are some good treatments for dark circles? like, creams and such?
