And goodbye eye shadow
A report from Lisa H.
Dark circles under the eyes are a painful subject. I also suffer greatly from them. In particular, the daily use of masks increases the focus on the eyes and thus my discomfort. My self-confidence suffers and I feel as if strangers' eyes are first directed at my dark circles.
There are many people who suffer from dark circles under their eyes after a night of drinking, not getting enough sleep or not getting enough fluids. In my case, however, they are hereditary and are accompanied by unsightly bags under the eyes. That's why I have to fight them every day.
I have tried many products and options to end my suffering. The following technique has helped me to go through life with more confidence again.
For all of you who also struggle with bags under your eyes, I recommend cooling eye masks .
To enhance the cooling effect , it is advisable to place it in the refrigerator before use.
But even for those of you who “only” suffer from dark circles under the eyes, it is useful to use eye masks, as they ensure better blood circulation in the thin skin area.
Which brings us to the second step to a fresher appearance - moisturizing the skin . This is important so that makeup doesn't settle in small wrinkles in the next steps. For this, I recommend the Visible Eye Contour Lift Serum from CNC or the Silk Contour Eye Cream from Dr. Spiller .
Both products not only provide long-lasting moisture, but also smooth out dry wrinkles and fine lines around the eye area.
An important tip is to complement the dark shadows with red. When I tried this for the first time, I was very skeptical, but it really works wonders! I've put together a small series of pictures to demonstrate the effect to you.

The tools: make-up palette, make-up sponge and spatula for mixing.
Reddish camouflage to complement dark circles under the eyes
Step 1: Apply camouflage over a large area
Step 2: Apply camouflage appropriate to your skin type
Step 3: use suitable setting powder
Work the fixing powder in by tapping – do not wipe
already better, right?
Step 4: remaining make-up, a bit of eye shadow and mascara – done!
