How to cover dark circles?
I've always had dark circles under my eyes, as it runs in the family. I'm not tired, and it isn't to do with how much sleep I get - it's just my complexion. (Hence why I always get so fed up when people constantly ask me if I'm tired.)
I've heard that there's a certain colour that you use on dark circles. Is it green or yellow? Or something completely different? If so, where can I get one from? As it's not due to tiredness, I'm not really looking for something that has energy boosting effects etc, just something to cover them up!
I use normal foundation slapped under it at the moment, but find it rather a heavy look.

I have the same thing,and I have natural sort of 'hollows' under my eyes so it can make me look tired a lot,even though I'm not. I came across this when googling the issue; you could give it a try.

Try getting an eye moisteriser - I have one which I think is Boots own brand that is really good. The moisteriser part helps to reduce the actual puffiness of my eyes, and I think it must have some kind of concealing stuff in it is as well because it helps to hide what is left. Then I jsut use foundation, concealer, powder

Re: How to cover dark circles?
i recommend the bobbi brown corrector also.
Put this on, and then put on a concealer (collection 200 lasting perfection concealer is good if on a budget, if not laura mercier/bobbi brown concealers are FAB) and you can get it matched to your skin at a counter (Debenehms, Fenwicks, Selfridges, John Lewis) as they have a range from pinky tones to yellow tones, that will blend into your natural colour and hopefully hide those dark circles!

If you google 'dark circles wikihow' they have further articles like that,expanded upon if that one doesn't work out.
Makeup wise Bobbi Brown do a really good concealer for dark circles if you are on a budget. It cosmetics bye bye under eye concealer with collagen is AMAZING at pretty much covering up dark circles completely but it's an American product so pricey if shipped over here - xo
I'll look out for those correctors
