What eye cream, foundation, concealer and powder works best for lines and dark circles under the eyes?

I'm 42 and have recently starting working part-time and am, thus, wearing make-up more often. When I look in the mirror during the day, I'm shocked at how noticeable the lines under my eyes are. I apply foundation and use a yellow concealer (no particular brand) and then powder. I need to know of a good foundation and powder that will conceal wrinkles. (I've read that an illuminating powder works best.) Also, I was using Olay regenerist eye lifting serum but am now using ROC eye cream. Recently, I read that applying cucumber daily for 15 minutes may help reduce swelling and dark circles. Is this true?What eye cream, foundation, concealer and powder works best for lines and dark circles under the eyes?
The best thing to conceal under eye lines is to apply olive oil under your eyes every night. Mediterranean women have been doing this forever and it really works!





To conceal.. I always use Estee Lauder double wear foundadtion with NO powder.. When you put powder under your eyes, it has a tendency to make the lines noticeable. Put powder on the rest of your face but avoid under the eyes.

i think a great concealer for under eye circles is clinique airbrush ! its great and it jus looks so natural , but make sure you get the right colour ! and also when you apply products under eyes doontt rub them in , get your ring finger and dab it softly and lightly in a rotating way because that will just cause more wrinkles and makes them more visible!


good luckkk :)X
Concealer isn't great for lines and dark circles under the eyes. It tends to crease and make it lines look deeper. But if you want to go this route and are prepared to retouch a few times a day, then I would choose a solid rather than a liquid concealer. Mac studio stick concealer is great.





A little tip for younger looking eyes is hemorrhoid cream. Sounds crazy but it tightens the skin and lifts it. The best advice for me though, is a light coloured powder eye-shadow underneath the lower eyelid, under foundation.
continue using eye creams.


for makeup, i like maybelline pure makeup foundation. tru blend is also good, but unfortunately i am allergic to it (i put it on and five minutes later could not see at all). my friends like it, though.


apply foundation evenly. afterwards, use a brush and sweep loreal bare naturals foundation powder under your eyes. then use loreal transluscent powder on your cheekbones and on your browbones. it illuminizes your eyes and helps hide the appearance of circles. don't use yellow concealer.


before you go to bed, put a spoon in the freezer. in the morning, cup the spoon over each eye for awhile- it can help.





try putting mascara on your lower lashes, too.


good luck!
