Dark circles around your eyes
Posted on 11 January 2006
Party! Yuhu! As any other girl I just love parties, as much as I like dancing and an occasional drink or two. Some of this parties last well into the night, and then someone usually suggests checking out that new club, and we are bound to come home with the dawn.
After only a couple of hours sleep it's impossible to look fresh, but the most difficult things to hide are the dark circles around your eyes. Well, I've got a trick that's going to help you. You're not going to be more rested from it, but it'll sure help you look more human 
First, forget about heavy makeup. Second, forget about your usual concealer. The one you want to use is yellow-gold concealer (I like using Vital Radiance first sometimes, but it's reserved for critical cases only), which masks the bluish circles around your eyes. Apply it under your eyes with fingertips and don't forget to put some on the inner and outer part of your eyes.
Follow with some loose powder, bring out your eyes with a shimmering white eye pencil and add only a bit of transparent mascara. Lips? Go nude, put only lip-gloss on.

My absolut favourite is the Yves Saint Laurent “Touche Eclat” concealer. It comes in a swanky, clicky, gold pen dispenser and will magic away your dark shadows with a couple of swipes.

Good to know Carla, thnx. I’ve never tried that product, it seemed a bit expensive.
Hi love your blog and your advice is good. My favourtie concealer is the body shops lightening touch, it has just been repackaged to be in great competition with touche clait by ysl, but at eleven pounds it’s a snip of the price! This product is applied after all make up as it contains light diffusing particles.
I’m really pleased to see The body shop advertising on this site as I am a consultant for them.
Allergies can also cause dark circles. You could be allergic to a chemical you may be cleaning with, or a pet, food, or food additives.
Have you done everything you could to get rid of those dark circles under your eyes? Maybe you haven’t done everything yet. Most of us do not know the real cause of this problem which is why we also don’t know the real treatment to it.
