    Default severe dark circles

    Since my rhinoplasty (nose job). I have noticed severe dark circles. What are some good concealers/products?

    That is a common occurrence after a rhino. You lose the volume in your upper cheeks which creates a "hollow" appearance and makes dark circles look worse. I had it after my rhino and the only thing that worked like a charm was restylane in my tear troughs.

    Im going to be looking into restylane myself in a cpl weeks. Ive just always had dark hollow circles. Just like mom and dad. But as far as makeup goes the best concealer I have used is MAC studio finish concealer http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ler/index.tmpl

    Although I just noticed this one on the website which I havent tried

    http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/...ler/index.tmpl

    Looks like it might be even better.

    I have special scar/tattoo makeup for my BA scars and I find the MAC studio finish concealer is even better than that.

    For under the eyes, I LOVE Benefit Erase Paste. You MUST try it, I usually don't go for Benefit products because they are too gimmicky and cheap, but this stuff is.... wow!

    Dark circles are an internal thing..I suggest taking something for adrenals and liver. Also dark circles equal dehydration so water with celtic sea salt, vitamin b complex , dandelion or yellow dock tea and 2 homepathic adrenal medicine

    That MAC concealer will cover ANYTHING! : ) Just make sure to get a shade lighter than your skin tone for under-eye circles.

    Not always, in my case it was a physical deformity causing a shadow which gave the illusion of a dark circle. I had Restylane put in my tear troughs, and my dark circles magically disappeared. I think staying hydrated can help to some extent, but I'm not sure what adrenals or your liver have to do with having dark circles, and I'm not convinced that some tea and sea salt will do much of anything.

    ^ It also has to do with how close your veins are to your skin and how thin your skin is. The veins are visible in most of my body through my skin. I have veiny hands, etc. Under your eyes, the skin is very thin.

    I had Teoysal injected into my tear troughs three times now, it does help but the dark circles are still visible. I use Estee Lauder double wear to cover them but am looking for a better concealer. All the concealers I have tried make my under eyes look grey because the under eye is so dark.

    How long does Restylane last? My filler only lasts about 4 months so its getting expensive.

    I like MAC'S studio finish concealer also, except for the fact that it tends to crease up under my eyes. Lately I've been using MUFE's HD concealer and I love it! It's a little sheer though, so you kind of have to build it up.
