Under Eyes?

[mackenzie]

I was just thinking about this problem the other day and wanted to ask you ladies about it. So after reading this thread I got the dark circles down, but what about the puffyness, I don't just get dark I get two folds of puffyness under my eyes and another over my eyes. I tried the teabag trick and it does nothing. I read somewhere that hemoroid cream cold help and I tried it ( was on vacation and desperate) it didn't do anything for the puffy part, but left me nice and dry to highlight the fine wrinkles Do you got any tips, any magical eyecream out there that I don't know about? Oh, might just add that I got really sensitive skin that gets red easily. Thanks for your help in advance.

Mackenzie, I would avoid hemorroid cream. Do you really want to put something like that around your delicate eye skin?

Try cucumbers. Also, there are really a lot of anti-puffiness eye creams. DHC makes a good one, as does Burt's Bees.

Ladies, as for concealer, note that many makeup artists you cheap drugstore brand liquid concealer. It is very creamer and tends to blend better than any other.

Cold Green Tea bags are good to use for puffy eyes, the antioxidants in it will unpuff you faster then other things. Just get the little guys wet and put them in the frig till they are chilled and sit back relax put on some good music and tea bags on your eyes and begin to depuff. Please note put the tea bags in some sort of tubberware while in the frig so they don't absorb anything that is floating around in there!

Thanks for your fast answers. Well, I can see now in the aftermath that trying the hemorroid cream under my eyes wasn't the most inteligent thing I did this year. But I was desperate and I have heard that it worked [huh]. Oh well, you live and learn.
Trying the green tea bag thing next, 'cause it is hard to find cucumber here in italy, they only got another kind, wich is dry, more like a zucchini.

This is some great stuff ladies!

I have had dark circles since I can remember... It runs in my family...

So really I use biotherm eye cream.. but I feel I need to change my eye cream.

As for concealer.. well I use the EDM and that has been working great.. i use the sunlight and it blends perfectly with my makeup and it leaves me looking fresh All DAY

You ladies speak of this concealer... hmmm.. I might just have to see if I can get my hands on some and see how it works
