Baggy Eyes

From Julie:
"I have problems with lines/wrinkles around and dark circles under my eyes. Anyone have a product they've found effective to help with this that won't break the bank?"

I have this problem too. I have even been asked before how I managed to get black eyes on both my eyes. Yikes! I am also interested to see if anyone knows of anything that helps.

Well-Julie-I guess nobody has any ideas for us :( I did google it though and read some things.
First-there are basically four reasons people get dark circles under their eyes. 1-Not enough sleep. Hah-like we can help that! 2-Your Genes. 3-Diet-Lack of vitamin K, vitamin B12, and iron can contribute. Excess salt can retain water in eyes. 4-Allergens can make your eyes puffy and dark.
I also found this thread on makeuptalk.com that is basically the same question you asked.

Actually the thing I've found most effective is from bareminerals. It is their multitasking eye makeup called aptly enough "well-rested." It was a free gift from them when I bought the makeup set. Happy accident finding it, but it works. It is a loose powder, and it works much better than any other liquid or stick concealer I have tried. I put it on every day over my entire eye area, underneath and all the way up to the brow. It is a great base for any look.
