re: LLotOT Makeup Thread

I don't get bags really, but if I'm not sleeping I get dark circles. Any tips there aside from concealer?

what is your fav eyeliner? I like Almay intense color for -pick one-my case Green eyes.

I've got the loreal voluminous in brown and black right now. I'm not too picky on eyeliner. With blue eyes I'm mostly stuck to neutrals, though I can sometimes do a deep plum or navy.

This is the best thread ever.

Cajun/Italian here so I know all about dark circles. The issue is usually a collection of blood settled beneath the skin and/or a moisturization issue. Excellent, vitamin-infused eye cream is essential and very light massaging with the tips of ring fingertips to increase circulation.

Concealer should always be applied lightly on top of foundation and only covered with a setting powder, not a foundation powder.

Adding a light-reflecting "concealer" on top, especially at night, finishes it off perfectly, especially in photos.

Best Light Reflecting concealer for dark circles: Jane Iredale Circle Delete. $25ish

Pretty Darn good one: First Aid Beauty's Eye Duty Triple Remedy $12ish

Well I will DM you my address to send me puffy eye packs

I'm probably much more likely to try the second one.

Thanks!

I've been using eye cream every night nice I was in high school. I have crappy eyes and squint a lot so I figured it was best to start early.

what did you really do when you and Ross were on a break? you can tell us.

Ha! Although, if you really want to prevent wrinkles around your eyes, 10 ml of Botox ($100 without Groupon but deals are out there) on the very outer eyebrow muscles help dramatically and will save you tons of eye cream $$$ down the road.
