Sometimes, even when you take care of yourself, you develop these under-eye circles. It's very often genetic. I'm slavic, and believe me I've dealt with them since my early twenties. The skin there is thinner than anywhere else, so it's gonna show your troubles there first. It'd be great to not have to worry about using concealor, but honestly, I don't know if that's realistic once you get to a point where it's noticable. Sorry.

So here are come great cosmetics to try:
Laura Mercier undereye concealor. This stuff is da bom. It's also pricey. By the way, this is different from Laura Mercier's regular concealor (which is also *really* good). It's creamier and easier to spead in the delicate undereye area. I use both, and have yet to find anything better. I think it works best when applied with a small, sythentic bristle brush.

Chanel Touche Eclat. This comes in a pen-like dispenser with the brush built in. You just click the end and the concealor comes out through the brush. Comes in a pink-tone and a yellow tone. This isn't as heavy-coverage as the Laura Mercier stuff, but it also works as a brightener. It's great, and also somewhat pricy. I like it a lot, but personally I need more coverage.

For drugstore products, I also use Cover Girl's concealor...I think it's CG, I actually can't remember the specifics just now, but I can post them later if anyone wants. It's a liquid that comes in a tube. I also apply it with a brush, you want to be sure not to damage the skin there with heavy rubbing.

Hope that helps.
