TIRED EYES
When people say “oh, you look tired”, it is more often than not in reference to your eyes. Stress can lead to sleeplessness, which translates to dark circles and eye bags as circulation is adversely affected. This mars the brightness of your peepers, making eyes look drawn, droopy, and dull.
We know that getting at least eight hours of sleep is easier said than done. But try to switch off and wind down an hour before bedtime. read a book or watch a relaxing show. as for eye care, pick an eye cream with caffeine to boost microcirculation and use an eye massager to stimulate the area to zap eye bags and dark circles. To conceal those eye circles use a cream-based concealer that’s made for the eye area so the formula won’t cake and sink into fine lines and creases as your eye area moves a lot. Instead of just applying concealer to the small stripe under the eye, spread it in an inverted triangle shape extending down to the top of your cheeks, this will hide any dullness more effectively.
