    Default Contouring with wide nose and hollow eyes

    I apologize if this has been asked already.

    The bridge of my nose is on the wider side, and lately I've noticed that the hollows under my eyes seem deeper. Lack of sleep isn't helping.

    I can disguise the dark circles, but the hollow appearance is what really frustrates me. It's just the formation of my face and even with yellow concealer and high-lighting my brow-bone, it's obvious. Sometimes in certain lighting I swear my profile makes me look like I'm a couple of days healed from a punch.
    Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for making the areas under my eyes look fuller? What products would you recommend?

    Thanks for reading this.

    Chanel Correcteur Perfection concealer is excellent. Wayne Goss has some good tutorials about stuff like this. There are a lot of ways you can use shadows, highlighting and contouring to help with this problem.
    I have very deep set eyes, very high cheek bones and also can have a "hollow" or "gaunt" look if I'm not careful. I find if I stay away from dark liners and shadows that helps a lot. Also I try to eat foods with collagen to plump my skin up a little. I also will set cucumbers under my eyes at night and I feel that brightens up the eye area too.
    Good luck!

    Thanks Swan:-). The collagen is a great idea. I used to take Hyalauronic acid supplements and that might help to start again. I will definitely check the tutorials.

    Also the one thing I didn't mention was Restalyne. I'm too nervous to try it, but that's a surefire way to plump up that area!

    I have these probs. too. I have very dark circles (hereditary) & a large nose. I used different concealers, usually more than one. One thing I like is a color correcting pressed powder by Physician's Formula, it's a blend of yellow shades. I use an eyeshadow base & put it over that.
    I notice there's more contouring products out, some are pencils, but like those chubby ones, softer for blending.

    Try a darker foundation color on the widest part of your nose or any other area you want to conceal. Lack of sleep will make your eyes look worse and not eating enough healthy fats. If u have dark under eyes it's from a lack of fat. The muscle underneath is dark hence the appearance. U can try fat transfer if u have money. Gaining a bit of weight can help depending on where u store fat. Try an illuminator by like loreal, white eyeliner and curl your lashes for an awake look

    Thanks whirlers and wolf. I have lost a little weight recently...sadly my face and boobs are all that's smaller. I'll start adding more olive-oil and avocados to my diet and see how that goes. Unfortunately I can't afford anything surgical at this point...maybe next year.

    I'll give the foundation idea a go:-).
    Thanks again.

    Be sure to put concealer by the inner corner of your eye, side of bridge of nose at the top. It's a very dark area. You can put a touch of highlighter there too.

    I've been doing lots of research on undereye fillers because in the next couple years I will want some. Belotero seems to be the front runner for undereyes because it lasts longer and tends to attract less water than juvaderm or restalyn. My only experience with fillers has been Juvaderm and it retains *a lot* of water if you have had too much salt or sugar. I have some in my lips and some mornings they look SUPER plump (I always have too much salt or sugar - ha ha). For lips that is not a bad thing but for nasiolabilal folds it can be and for under eyes that is DEF a look you wouldn't want. The under eye area is SO, SO, SO scary when it comes to filler so I know I'll wait until absolutely necessary, but that doesn't mean I'm not always researching.

    Don't forget you can become immune to Botox
