I got the Circle Clear cream (£20) from Skin Doctors yesterday which i was given a huge sample of 2 weeks ago - not sure if it'll work but i needed a new eye cream anyway and this one has vitamin k in it and seems a little bit more promising than others so i was willing to pay the £20 for it and the lady there is so nice and genuinly helpfull and friendly and gave me loads of sample of other stuff!
Daisy Dee - what vitamin k cream do you use?
I saw Hyelexin the other day and omg £95?!!?!? I would pay alot of money if i thought there was a little chance of a cream working but £95 for a small tube of cream which most people say does nothing?..I don't think so!

I use Lite Cosmetics because it has 10% vitamin k...but I think you can only get it mail-order. They ship quickly.

For something that's not as thick as Cover FX, but still covers I think just as well try Boiing by Benefit. It's what they call industrial-strength concealer and it is just that. I've been using it for a couple of years now and it never fails me.
It's a cream, not too-too thick so you could try and get away with finger application if you wish. Now the only down side is that they make it in only 3 shades.
Btw, does anyone know if those new-fangled "brightening" liquid concealers are any good?

I'm surprised they call it 'industrial strength' as i've tried it out a number of times at Benefit and it doesn't cover my circles anywhere near as good as any MAC concealer i've tried. MAC Select Cover is still my no.1 concealer.

This isn't really going to help get rid of dark circles, but I just started using mineral foundation (physicians formula or philosopy, I have both) and for the first time in my life, I can just use a powder and not have to use a concealer. I just use my concealer brush to put a heavier layer under my eyes and then buff it in. The dark circles are gone, my makeup routine takes 15 minutes less, and it lasts all day. I actually am waiting for some BE foundation to arrive and I've heard the coverage is even better with the BE. I swear this mineral foundation is a miracle for my dark circles. Oh, mine are genetic from both my mom and dad, and they are terrible. It looks like I've been punched in both eyes.

Under eye dark circles
Hi I'm new here,
I have REALLY bad under eye dark circles, I've been using YSL touche eclat for about a year and all different under eye creams that claim to get rid of them but they're still here. Even when I use YSL touche eclat, when I go in the light I can still see the shadow outside. Could anyone suggest or reccomend anything. Any creams that have worked for them or concealers? I think they are hereditry as my dad has them.
Thanks x

Look for an eye treatment cream with vitamin K in it. What that does is constrict the flow of blood to that area. I've been using one by e.solutions from Elizabeth Arden for mine and I love the results I've been getting.
You may also want to try layering concealers. Such as first using a darker shade, then the lighter one closer to your skin tone on top of that.

I like to use a bit of yellow concealer under my normal concealer. I think it helps (i use a cheapie yellow from physicians formula, its works well)
I just bought the Benefit Eyecon reduces the appearance of fine lines and clears dark circles. I think it's working so far although im also using a puffiness reducer thing from MaryKay. Im in college, i dont get a lot of sleep, plus, i dont wear concealer so I hope this fixes it all.

Has anyone got any tips for concealing dark circles? I usually just slap a bit of concealer on but the circles just show through. What sort of concealer colours should be used and does anyone know any artists tricks for flawless concealing? I know there must be a foolproof method somewhere! My circles have a brownish tone to them and I read somewhere that rose colours are best for neutralising this? Is that the case?
FYI, I've already tried things like Touche Eclait but it didn't seem to do much for me.

Everything about dark under-eye circles
Hi friends,
i think this would help.
dark circles are symbols of less fat.
so, try this:
1)take a teaspoon of curd
2)4 drops of fresh lemon juice.
now mix the curd and lemon juice.Apply it under eyes for 10 mins before bath.then take bath as usual.
countinue this for a week.this can be applied to whole body too.
You will feel a difference and i'm sure you will notice a fade in the dark area of ur skin.You can apply this as long as you like.this will make your skin glow.
Many of my friends use this technique to remove dark circles from any part of body.
Instead of using chemicals you can banish dark circles naturally.
i'll be happy if this is helpful
