Have you been awake late? Do you have dark circles under your eyes? Dark bags, puffy eyes, fine lines and wrinkles are signs of aging that first appear around the eyes. But there is still hope!
Those of us with more mature skin can eliminate and even out dark circles under the eyes over 50 by stocking up on some essential products, learning some simple cosmetic methods, and following our step-by-step guide.
Why do we get shadows under our eyes as we get older?
Thinner skin is a natural consequence of aging. It is caused by the increasing visibility of black blood vessels under the skin as our bodies produce less oil and collagen (which helps keep our skin supple). Poor circulation and inadequate removal of toxins can also contribute to dark circles under the eyes, as can lack of sleep (which unfortunately only gets worse with age).
These tips will help you get rid of your dark circlessuccessfully concealed.
Use rose quartz facial roller
Use a rose quartz facial roller to give yourself a quick facial massage. This has been shown to promote blood circulation, reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes by flushing out toxins, reducing inflammation, revitalizing the skin and toning the face.
Preparation of the skin
A solid foundation is the starting point for anything worthwhile. And we don't mean the actual foundation you put on your face, because that can be too much and make your eye area look smudged. So imagine a moisturizing lotion. No amount of concealer can stop tired, dull skin from looking that way when your face is dry. Place a drop of eye cream on the tip of your ring finger and lightly dab it over the eye area, starting at the inner corner of the eye and working outward.
A real eye cream designed specifically for the eye area is your best bet. Using an eye cream can make your veins appear less obvious as it plumps up the skin around your eyes. Choose a cream with light-reflecting pigments to enhance the natural brightness of the eye area, a cream with caffeine (a vasoconstrictor that narrows blood vessels in the skin), or a cream with a mild, skin-lightening ingredient like vitamin K.
If your dark circles are due to sun damage, try an alpha hydroxy acid eye cream. If your dark circles are really dark, have a doctor prescribe an ointment with a lightening agent, such as hydroquinone.

Distribute the formula into the eye area by sweeping it in a V-shape over your dark circles. Use it only in the eye sockets, as if you were tracing the shadows that these sockets cast.
Follow with a second, creamier liquid concealer that's a little closer to your natural skin tone. Place a point halfway up the eye bags to create an inverted triangle. Wait about 10 seconds for the formula to become tacky, then tap and blend with your ring finger—the warmth of your body will soften the formula and make it easier to work with. When the edges of the concealer disappear, you're done.
Fix with powder (optional)
Since under-eye bags are often textured, part of the goal of concealing them is to minimize texture and fake a smoother look. Bags under the eyes can be aggravated by running concealer (which is due to oily skin). Therefore, a light touch of translucent powder can be helpful. Usea brushor a sponge to apply and avoid streaks.
Important tip:Apply a small amount of product under your eyes at a time, work it in thoroughly and then set with a fine, translucent powder.
Makeup can help draw attention away from dark circles under the eyes. Whether you use it on your lips or your eyes, it will do wonders for your appearance.
