What products Should I use that would take little time to apply, not make my face oily, not make my face dry out, and will stay on for long periods of time. I'm looking for a very natural look. The only thing I need to worry about are my circles. And how should I apply the product the best way.I have very bad circles and i'm going to the beach and I don't feel comfortable not wearing makeup?
Waterproof concealer.
Do not rub it on your circles, but gently pat it on. Set with a tiny amount of powder, and that should take on all day. You could always dust you whole face with a little of the powder if you need to.I have very bad circles and i'm going to the beach and I don't feel comfortable not wearing makeup?
I would use a waterproof concealer. There are numerous ones at Sephora and probably Walgreens too. Amazing Cosmetics works great but is costly but you can look at the link because they have all their waterproof skin things combined. You can get an idea of what you might like then go test it in the store. This evens out the areas that get dark and stay on. =)
You need a sunless tanner. This helps with dark circles in one of two ways:
It either darkens your skin enough that your thin skin doesn't look shady
or
It draws attention away from you under eye area.
Sunless tanner lasts for several days.
More on dark circles:
There are a TON of wives tales and jar remedies claiming to fix the problem. Potato slices, lemon juice, cucumber slices, Etc, are all well known by aestheticians and dermatologists to have no benefit other than a therapeutic illusion. DO NOT put blistex under your eye, this is a severe skin irritant. I used Hylexin for about two months and I started getting a rash on the areas I applied it to, and I heard of several others with this problem. Oh, and it doesn��t help circulation or circles one bit.
There are no ';hydrating'; treatments, no ';circulation'; enhancers, no ';latest discorveries';. It's all BS!!! Expensive creams DO NOT WORK, but desperate women are willing to throw their money away at them and it��s a million dollar industry making it hard to get to the truth. Here are the REAL causes and options:
Before I explain them, it is also important to be sure you get enough sleep and water and a balanced diet or it can make your skin dehydrated, dry, and unevenly pigmented. That said, the most likely reasons for under eye ��circles�� issue are as follows:
1. From hollows and/or large tear ducts on the inner part of the under eye area that create a shadow when seen in overhead lighting: A lot of people with respiratory problems or chronic tonsillitis develop the problem as children. In this case there is nothing you can do other than a very rare form of plastic surgery where fat pearls are harvested and injected deep below the skin. Note: there are fillers used in the area but they are temporary and become very expensive in the long run and usually cause severe bruising for a few days following treatment.
2. From thin pale skin that allows your veins to show under your skin. There is no cure for this problem, but fake tans and anything that darkens the skin helps. But this should be done to the entire face as the under eye area does not look good darkened in contrast to the rest of the face.
3. From pigmentation typically hereditary and very uncommon in people of European descent (most common in South Asians), and sometimes caused by scarring from things like microdermabrasion. In this case there are several treatment options, a few of which work. But this is probably not your issue.
4. Sagging caused by aging. Odds are, if you have problem number one, it will get worse with age as the collagen and elastin begins to break down in your face. The only way to prevent this is to absolutely protect your skin from the sun in ALL kinds of daylight. The best way to do this is wear a sunscreen and sunglasses with UV protection. Otherwise, again, the solution becomes cosmetic surgery.
Basically, makeup is the best solution for the problem. Because the under eye area has a lot of lines in women in the mid 20's and beyond, you have to start with a base (I prefer MAC). Allow it try dry before you apply a concealer or foundation. What you need depends on how much coverage is required and your skin type, but if you aren't sure I recommend a liquid concealer. The color should be slightly lighter than your natural skin tone. If you are trying concealers at the store, make sure to allow them to dry completely and checking it in the daylight before deciding the color is right. MAC will allow you to return and exchange the color if you decide it's not right when you take it home.
