Causes for Under Eye Dark Circles and Bags: Lack of sleep, stress, nasal congestion, dehydration, poor diet, hereditary pigmentation.  First thing is first, take care of your body!  Get your beauty sleep, calm down and relax, drink enough water and eat right.  For all of us it’s difficult (near impossible) to do this every single day.  Of course there are products that help us to diminish dark under eye circles and brighten you up, making you look youthful like you got a full nights rest and don’t have a care in the world :)

Shiseido White Lucent Anti-Dark Circles Eye Cream: This is going to reduce the dark circles under the eye and brighten it up, all while being very moisturizing.  Shiseido also makes an entire brightening line.  They have a starter kit for only $49.  With this kit you will get 4 products in a smaller size.  If your entire face needs brightening, this is an amazing way to try out an entire line!

Glow by Dr Brandt, Revitalizing Retinol Eye Cream: This will brighten your under eye and has all the anti-aging properties, including: reduce fine lines and wrinkles, gives a youthful glow, improves circulation to reduce the effects of stress and tiredness.  This is a miracle in a bottle!  It works as amazing as it sounds!!!

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer: I discovered this concealer about 2 months ago and I’m totally impressed!  It has medium to full coverage and covers any dark circles, makes my under eye area look brighter, and it doesn’t dry me out.  It gives a finish that looks natural and glowing.

Mac Prep & Prime Highlighter: This primer brightens and highlights.  Apply to your under eye area before any concealer.  It will protect your skin, hold your concealer in place all day and brighten up any dark circles.  I use this in color Radiant Rose.
