I have really bad dark circles under my eyes all the time, i use conceler [or how ever you spell it] but it always wears off pretty quickly. any suggestions?
Mackenzie answered Thursday November 3 2005, 4:55 am: Well, getting an appropriate amount of sleep is an important thing, and be shore to drink plenty of water. Also, try applying cool cucumber slices or cool tea bags to the under-eye area, which helps to reduce swelling. I've also heard that placing a frozen spoon under your eye will minimize the dark circles. Personally, I've never done this, but I have seen it on movies, so you might as well give it a shot. To avoid drawing attention to your under-eye area, perhaps you should avoid the use of eye liner or mascara to your lower lashes. :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
Sherry answered Wednesday November 2 2005, 8:14 pm: Yeah so do I. It's not because of less sleep or anything its just because I have them SO! This is what I do: I put on concealer (Jane-No show works great for me. You can get it at Target) and then I apply my powder foundation under my eyes...and I use a blush--brush to apply it on. If you dont have foundation I suggest you get some because it works great for your face && under your eyes. Ohand you might still have to re-apply after like 3 hours...thats just how life is! makeup doesnt stay on forever..sucks I know. Good luck. [ Sherry's advice column | Ask Sherry A Question ]

under your eyes, wait 15 minutes and then wipe it
off. Or get vasoline, put it on a metal spoon and freeze it for like 15 minutes. Then apply it to your eyes for a few minutes.
