ok kr I need your help.
I know this has been asked before but I want to hear about it again.

what can I used to get rid of or cover up (or both) the dark circles under my eyes? bonus points if it keeps puffiness at bay as well.

and please don't tell me to get more sleep, hydrate or eat my veggies because I'm working on all of that already. I need grandma grade industrial strength makeup majik for now so I don't look like I just rolled off a three week bender.

thank you for your time.

well it's expensive, but the chanel make up i use (no under eye concealer, just the make up) really helps me. i use their lightest foundation.



tamara/glampy will probably have good ideas.

I swear by the Garnier rollerball, the gel attacks puffiness and the tinted cream conceals dark circles. It comes in either "fair" or "medium" to work with your complexion. I keep it in the fridge for extra cooling. esp. during hay fever season:

Also, the Sheer Cover duo concealer works a treat:

Have a look on eBay for it, you can get the concealer cheaper than the Sheer Cover website if you hunt around.

dp, thank you! I was thinking of channel when I was posting this and was hoping someone would come in here and say good things about it to justify the expense. haha does the make up go on smoothly? I just have cheap drug store **** right now and because I try to layer it for coverage it just looks cakey and awful to me. I need good coverage without the need for multiple applications. I'm a mess. :/

champers! I was hoping you'd post your suggestion. I looked at the roller ball thing before but got scared because I used one in the past that left a sticky residue on my skin. Maybe this one is different? I will have to check it out. Thank you!

When you apply the rollerball, use a small wedge-type sponge and bevel it into the contours of the undereye to equally distribute the gel/concealer and to absorb any excess/residue.
