In my last post, I wrote about my favourite foundation and mentioned that it helped to cover the dark shadows under my eyes. Here's the link if you would like to read it:
I have always had a slight problem with these under eye shadows, especially if I went short on sleep, but sadly these things have a way of getting worse as we get older. I have been using CLINIQUE ALL ABOUT EYES (Rich) for some time now and have found that it helps to alleviate the problem. Recently, I used up my little pot and didn't replace it for a few weeks, just applying moisturizer to the area. I soon noticed the deterioration both with the shadows and in the condition of the skin around my eyes! So of course I went out to Boots and bought it again!
CLINIQUE ALL ABOUT EYES (Rich) is a moisture-rich eye cream formulated to reduce the appearance of dark shadows, lines and puffiness around the eyes. It is 100% fragrance free, something I always look for with eye skincare products. I apply the cream am and pm, as recommended by CLINIQUE, with a "gentle patting motion".
I find that as soon as I start to use it, there is an immediate improvement, but it really makes a difference when applied regularly and consistently. I would emphasize that it does need to be used regularly and consistently.
In the past, using this cream and covering the under-eye area with the right foundation was sometimes enough. Now, concealer has become very important too! I'm always looking at different concealers and they seem to be improving in quality and selection. Currently, I am using an inexpensive one - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - which I think is very good and excellent value at £4.19. It goes on smoothly, covers well without being noticeable or forming a cakey texture, it doesn't settle in lines and it does last well. It's good for covering other blemishes on the face too.
I'm always interested to hear about concealers and hints on dealing with dark under-eye shadows, so I'd love to read your comments in the Comments box below.
None of the products mentioned above were Gifted.

I definitely have noticed the dark circles and a little puffiness under the eyes as I age. I don't wear foundation (not saying that I don't need to....I just don't) but I definitely use concealer. I also have started combating the dark circles with a little dab of green stuff that's supposed to tone down the dark circle. I still really need something else. I definitely need to look up that Clinique eye cream. Thanks for sharing that!

Yes, I think I will try the green stuff, I've heard it's good for toning things down.
DeleteI love reading about products for under eye circles because this is one of my biggest problems. I found a foundation that does do a good job of hiding them, Darphin's Melaperfect. Thanks for joining #WowOnWednesday Sandy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your tip Gail.
