How do you eliminate the black bags under your eyes?

Answer 1

There are many ways to combat dark circles and bags. I myself have them, and I know how desperate people can get in getting rid of them.

For a natural approach, use fresh, cold cucumber slices to cool the area. I know it's cliche, but the coolness will really help to bring down any swelling that may be causing shadows.

Also, caffeine will help stimulate blood flow. Rub a bit of damp coffee grounds over the problem area. The caffeine in the coffee will help with circulation and give the skin a healthier, "more awake" appearance.

There is also the cosmetic approach.

A good concealer goes a LONG way, believe me. Revlon's Concealer/Highlighter Duo works great to conceal and brighten dark undereye circles.

Before applying your concealer, evaluate the "color" of the dark circles. If the circles are a purple-ish tint, add a bit of "yellow" concealer. If they are blue-ish, use an orange-y concealer, and if they are brown, a blue or mauve. By using a concealer that is opposite the color of the bags, the colors cancel each other out.

After the complementry colors have been applied, follow up with concealer and foundation.
