Bags under eyes

I hope someone will help Chat Icon

Maybe it's age catching up, or maybe that I have been battling insomnia recently, but I have horrible circles and puffiness under my eyes. We tried to take a few holiday photos yesterday and I looked awful Chat Icon

I need help with 2 things...

Is there a cream/lotion that helps combat them? I had a some "all about eyes" that I got in a Clinique bonus that was OK. Is there something better?

Also, is there a concealer that will hide?

Pleae help, I couldn't believe these photos....I have a milestoneChat Icon next week & that may be making me even more sensitive.

Thanks Chat Icon

Re: Bags under eyes

I can't help with the puffiness, but for circles I us a yellow concealer and put that on then my regular foundation on top of that. Yellow cancels the darkness.

Hey Sam. I know you are not sleeping wellChat Icon

A few things to do for eye puffiness that I have tried after weepy nights or sleepless nights.

Drink A LOT of water. Like an obscene amount.
Stay away from salty food.
Put cool tea bags on your eyes

I also read to try a diuretic like MidolChat Icon never tried this one, though.

As far as products, I have heard good things about Garnier products. I think they have a bunch of "eraser" products. Strangely enough, I think my brother tried themChat Icon

Re: Bags under eyes

I've had bags under my eyes since I was born. They're hereditary and I've spent most of my life trying to cover them up.

Preparation H (dab a little under your eyes) can help reduce the puffiness a little.

For concealer, after trying just about everything ever made I finally found Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer and Camoflauge. Both are sold at Sephora and are $22. A little pricey but I promise, WORTH IT! A little goes a long way and it covers my bags better than any other product.
