Well for the dark circles under your eyes, you can simply put a small amount of foundation on them. Regular foundation will do, but there is a product by bare minerals called ';well-rested'; made just for it. Also adding white eyeliner under your eyes makes you look more bright and awake. You can still use regular dark liners on the top.I have dark circles and puffy eyes..i want to highlight my eyes with eye liners and mascara but they make them
try using concelar


you only need a little and it will help hide dark circles


when trying to highlight your eyes use a light eyeshadow like white or cream-place under your eyebrows


don't use a lot, you don;t want it to stand out so all you see is white, so blend


then add eyeshadow and liner, mascara


you can even use concelar on your eyelids to help with eyeshadow so it appears on you the exact color the eyeshadow actually is.


takes 5min
I use an eye brightener cream by Bare Escentuals. Its about $13 but it lasts a long time. It really works just put it on before ur concealer and it works wonders for puffiness %26amp; dark circles.
A nice pale yellow concealer helps with dark circles but you will need to wear foundation id sugest a powder over liquid especially if you don't want to wear much make-up. apply the concealer first. BLEND IT WELL!!! Unless you want yellow instead of purple under your eyes. You could appl a bit of concealer in your skin tone on top of it...but again blending is crucial. The apply your powder.





As for highlighting your eyes...thats not exactly the purpose of mascara and liner...they accentuate. if you want to line your eyes but don't plan on wearing any shadow, it will be too harsh and give you a slut look. Which is probably why you think they look worse. Get yourself an angled shadow brush and some brown shadow. Dampen the brush but don't make it wet, then get some shadow on it. Use the angled tip to brush the shadow into the roots of your lashes.





To lift your eyes use a bit of highlighter or irredescent shadow and put it on the inner corners of you eyes and along the brow bone.





Try to find a mascara the is meant to make your lashes apear feathery. The look more natural because they aren't thick and clumped, but it gives the appearence of more of them. The shadow you put into the lash line will help too...it makes your lashes appear more full.








---hope that helped some.
well yes concealor is used to cover things, BUT if you put it on a dark spot, and it will actually make it worse. you have to use a Yellow concealor base for covering dark circles, specifically. and THEN put concealor over it. I highly recommend Physicians Formula yellow concealor stick, it looks lik a lipstick, and its cheap. you can get it at lik walmart or walgreens. put that on, the yellow counter-acts the purple/brownish dark circles, and when you put the concealor over it it looks great. also, to cover really red pimples, you use Green concealor base, the green counter-acts with the red of the pimples!





You can also try using Smashbox Under Eye Brightener, it works well and is about $18, you put that on and then your concealor.





Also be sure to the the correct color concealor, cuz if you don't use foundation, and its not the right color, then it will look funny! If you're willing to spend a lil more money, going to a department store or like Ulta, they can help you find the perfect color concealor.





Another thing, its best to use waterproof eyeliners and mascara, b/c it not they can smudge and make their own dark smudges/';circles'; under your eye!
Believe it or not I have found that if you slice a potato and put some slice on your eyes (sort of the cucumber method) it relieves puffiness and at the same time takes the dark circles under your eyes away. This can also be helpful for you elbows and knees. It is also very soothing. I just do a whole face mask. It makes my skin supple soft.
try wearing just concealer on the dark circles


there is this stuff from Benefit called ';Ooh la lift'; for puffiness


Try drinking more water and getting more sleep and exercise if you don't already
try using a concealer (under ur eyes and on ur lids) if you blend it well, it will look good. use ur ring finger and use a motion like if u were giving fingerprints lol idk how else to describe it, ur eyes will look alot brighter, it'll help deminish ur circles.





after using ur liners, try hilighting the inner corners of ur eyes with a gold or white eyeshadow jsut put a bit in the inner corner..it'll make your eyes look alot brighter too. then apply mascara and ta daaa
