Suggestions for small bags under the eye? and makeup tips to cover it?

Question

its not really bags, its more like circles, or shadows under my eyes, im only 17 i dont even know why i have them.

Answer 1

i got this problem as well...... you know... those eyebag and darkcircles.... they will always ruin my look when i smile... aargghh...

i've tried different types of concealer including maybelline dream mousse concealer, maybelline coverstick concealer and rimmel under-eye concealer (which all work just the same)... nothing worked.....!! it will only make my bag look cakey and 'darker'.... i don't know why...

i know this sucks... but the best thing to do is get a washcloth and put some eyes on it.... then press it on your eye bag gently for a couple of minutes (someone suggested me before).... it worksss!! it won't make your eye bag disappear but it will make your eyes fresh and those dark circles can't seem to look more disgusting... and put some powder on it... just tap it,, you don't want to get eye wrinkles anytime soon, eh??

if you want just add some beige or bright eyeshadow on it... but just in a little amount.... but i'm not using this... powder is h**l enough...

the problem is not the concealer i guess... it's because of my face... so if you try concealer and it works then it's great.... ^^

hope this helps

You're probably not getting enough sleep.

So go to bed earlier, simple as that.

But if they're still there just load on the coverup[;

can you help me?

Answer 3

did those shadows just show up recently?  if not they can be hereditery.  having a pillow that's slightly thicker to elevate your head during sleep can prevent the water build up in the upper and lower lid area.  use a light water based eye cream day and before bed.  dab concealor only on the bottom lid to cover up the shadows.

Answer 4

I have those too! It's usually hereditary.

I use this: http://laminerals.com/inc/sdetail/459

It really brightens up anything you put it on!

I go over it with the Hollywood foundation all over my face to blend it in.

If I need a little more brighteness...brush a little on top of the foundations. Won't look cakey or settle into lines or anything. Fantastic stuff!

you can get samples of it for like $1 in a baggie or $2 in a lil jar.

The concealer sample will last you a lonnnngggg time. Great deal.

Answer 5

Get enough sleep and iron in your diet. Also you could splash your face with cold water. I recommend using Maybelline's Mineral Power concealer. It's made for dark circles.

Answer 6

concealer  usually works  u might get them because of lack of sleep u can also try when u get up in the morning put two teaspoons that have been ran under ice cold water, this makes ur eyes fresher and more wide awake OR u can put two cold tea bags on ur eyes instead  i hope this helps!

Answer 7

I have the same problem!

PLEASE do not use your foundation-most girls try and end up applying way to much and it looks caked on!

No worries though here's a couple of tricks. If you have laying around a light, pale yellow eyeshadow apply with your finger under your eyes. It will add brightness making the darkness less noticeable. Also I just recently bought Rimmel Under-Eye Concealer-works extremley well! It was around $5 but well worth it. You can try more expensive brands if you want to but I prefer not to spend a lot of money on make-up. Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Don't worry, I'm 16 and I have them too- now matter how un-tired I am!

I use Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Clat to cover it up, its like £22, but it lasts around a year for me (I always get a new one on my birthday!) so it's well worth the initial investment!
