Would an anti-aging concealer be better for dark circles than a normal one?


Question Posted Sunday April 17 2011, 3:50 pm

16/f.

I know I'm young, but I was just wondering. I have dark circles like an old lady's and nothing seems to work. I can't afford expensive stuff either. The things I've tried are--

All CG concealers (minus the Queen and Simply Ageless collections)
Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer
Maybelline Coverstick

And none have had enough pigmentation to make them any less noticeable. So I'm wondering if I need to step it up to the anti-aging formulas or if they don't help any more, but just a different consumer group.

Hi, I think that you should try and find the cause of the undereye circles.

I heard a few years ago, something like they were caused by some kind of mineral deficiency, so it could be worth going into a few different health/homeopathic shops and asking for the opinions of their TRAINED & QUALIFIED staff.

I also learned a really useful tip for applying concealer to the undereye area, which is to apply it to ONLY the dark circle bit, and not outside of there otherwise it makes it more noticeable.

I hope that helps!


Edited from here:

I just got your comment, and good idea about the multivitamin and sleep! I have heard that multivitamins can sometimes just have a little of lots of different vitamins, but maybe not a lot of the particular type you need?

How about increasing your water? That always makes skin look better too!

Undereye concealer is tricky, because you don't want something too thin (your circles will show) or too thick (you'll look like you have wrinkles). I really love the Revlon Photoready concealer, have you tried that? And here's a video on proper application:
