I have really dark circles under my eyes. It's not because I don't sleep well or enough, it's hereditary. Both my parents have dark circles, and unfortunately passed it on to me. I'm really self-conscious about them, people are always asking if I'm tired or if I didn't sleep well. I've tried yellow stick concealers to try to hide the purple but they never really work. Anyone know a good way to get rid of them or hide them really well? Perferably how to get rid of them lol.

I have dark circles under my eyes that are hereditary too. People have asked me if I was an insomniac, if I had gotten into a fight or something like that. The fight doesn't make sense since I'm a huge pacifist. So far, the best that's worked for me has been getting huge amount of sleep and some makeup. If you have glasses, they help hide the circles too but there are products out there that are designed to help lessen their appearance.

There is one product I know of that works a little on me in combination with makeup is something called Bright Eyes. I have a sample I got from my sister but I wouldn't be able to tell you where you can get it.

I saw on the show "the doc's" and the lady talking about it said to use a slice of potato over each eye...i myself have that problem from bad allergies and age is now a factor...i want to look into the price for surgery where they put fat in the hollows of the eyes to puff them back up

Ive tried for years to get rid of mine. Vitamin K really helps heal veins so I make sure my vitamin supplement has K in it. I also try to eat foods with K (mostly leafy greens) which help some. On top of that (i know this may sound gross) but I use a hemorrhoidal cream under my eyes which really helps the puff. the best concealer I have used is smashbox photo op under eye brightener under and regular concealer. I found its best to use foundation under my eyes thats a bit darker than the rest of my skin tone.
also, avoid putting dark colors on the bottom of your eyes. use white, creamy or peachy shades on your lower lashline.
Hope this helps!
