Dark skin below eyes

75% Normal
10 Comments

The skin right below my eyes is a lavendar/ purplish color, darker than anyone's I've ever seen. I don't think it's from diet or lack of sleep, etc. Does anyone know a way to get rid of this or cover it effectively? I've tried some under eye concealers but they don't cover it well enough and it's very hard to get it on smoothly and evenly so it looks natural. I've read that laser surgery could fix this but I don't have the money for that.

    I have the same. Except my worse darker area is right in the corner of my left eye along with the dark bags underneath, I just cover. MAC concealers are pretty good.

    I have them too and they are annoying. I am almost positive it is hereditary and just opt for concealers, and thankfully mine do not look unnatural when I try to cover them up. If you are having trouble, I would suggest looking up youtube tutorials.

      Which concealers do you use? Either yours are better or your skin is not as dark as mine.

    Dermablend is pretty good, But it's expensive.
