Dark under eye circles
I feel like I have really bad under eye circles and if you look closely, they're like indented into my face, so even when I put makeup on, you can still see them and this bothers me. Is there anything I can do to help reduce their appearance?

Feb 20 14 07:22 am Link Thomas makes some good points. Very often you need to countershade that area. Use a concealer with the opposite color. ie...purple under the eye, use an orange based concealer. In some cases, the under eye shadow is from having a deep set eye, so that a shadow forms under the eye from top lighting. In addition, you may need to tweak the undereye formula. Here is where a good knowledge of makeup products comes in. Here is one recipe for stubborn cases. 1. one part Cliniques yellow correct powder 2. one part CoverFx cream foundation with an orange undertone 3. one part Smashbox undereye brightener 4. one part Smashbox undereye primer. Mix well and layer, using a stippling motion. Feather the edges and then cover with the foundation used for the rest of the face. GL! Just make sure its not a lighting issue first. If that is the case, far easier to change the lighting than the face. Feb 22 14 11:29 am Link Thank you all for the help!
