First, apply eye shadow throughout your upper eyelids. (Don't forget to include your inner eye corners, where your nose meets your eyelids!) The eye shadow colour should match your skin tone as nearly as possible. When worn with foundation, your concealer should be a shade lighter than your skin colour. If your concealer is too dark, it can actually make your under eye circles appear darker.

They say the eyes are the windows of the soul. The undereye area reflects both your lifestyle and heredity. If your circles come and go, they are likely a product of your environment and lifestyle - too much alcohol or too little sleep are common culprits. The good news is that often cremes and gels infused with vitamins and botanicals can help to soothe and diminish temporary darkness. Hereditary circles, on the other hand, are more challenging.

The best way to get rid of under eye circles is to camouflage them with a pigment-intense concealer in a color that neutralizes their dark blue tone. A slightly orange, peach shade works best.

If you have puffy eyes, creams are too heavy for you. We recommend an eye gel with ingredients such as green tea extract to soothe the delicate eye area, ease puffiness, and lighten dark circles.

The skin on your eye contours is five to ten times thinner than on other areas of your face. Moreover, it is not irrigated as well (the blood and lymph vessels are finer and fewer in number). On top of all this, we use it all the time: laughing, squinting and rubbing our eyelids. Result: this is the first area of the face to become marked and to show signs of aging. This gives rise to wrinkles and lines. See similar questions...

Dark color under the eyes is actually more often related to genetics - the dark discoloration is usually due to the veins and tissues underneath the skin of the eyelids. Many patients, however, have reported an improvement in the dark coloration of eyelid skin from using the Theraderm Skin Renewal System as a result of the more healthy appearance of the skin itself. Alpha and beta hydroxy acids are very different from each other in structure, and therefore have different effects upon the skin. See similar questions...

There are several factors that contribute to dark circles. Skin color is due to melanin, blood and other plasma constituents. Temperature influences skin color. When it's hot the skin appears red, when it's cold, blood flow is sluggish causing the skin to have a bluish color. These color differences are exaggerated in the eye area because of the thinness of the skin. Allergy resulting in edema (excess fluid with swelling) contributes to darkening of the eye area.
