Lines Under My Eyes

Just being silly....lol

How can I hide or get rid of the lines under my eyes?

They are not bags or smile lines but an example would be like Gabrielle Union...she has money now so she can cover it but if you look at older pictures of her you can see them. They’ve been there since I was a baby and it seems my daughter has them too. The only time they faded was when I was pregnant and my face was a little fatter.

Thanks if u can help.

Good news and bad news
by: Camille

Hi Dee!

First of all I want to say that your pic is really cute! Love the earrings!

I have some good news and bad news about the lines under your eyes.

Bad news first...the lines are hereditary and there's nothing you can do to ever completely make them go away.

If you think about the fact that you said your daughter has them too you'll see that this is true and it has nothing to do with getting older.

That said, the good news is that you can definitely hide them with makeup (which is what Gabriel Union does).

What you need to do is take a color foundation (or concealer if you find one you like)that is two shades lighter than your skin. Then you take a little bit of that and tap it into your skin lightly over the areas with the dark lines and that will make them seem to disappear.

Be sure to blend it into your skin though so you don't look like you have two lines of makeup under your eyes!

Last but not least...getting 8 hours of sleep at night and drinking 8-12 glasses of water does a body good too.

Don't let two little lines get you down. You're beautiful girl!

I hate the lines under my eyes!
by: Albi

I used to only have 5 hrs of sleep every night. I developed these lines now that I am in my 50's. I wear glasses just to cover them, but a lot of people say that I am pretty, look younger than my age. They say I have to remove my glasses to look young. I tried using a concealer before my make up but that part of my eyes perspire. I live in a humid place. I really feel insecure. Please help!

Hi Albi. Using the concealer under your eyes is a good idea for covering up the lines and any dark areas you may have. The trick to keeping your makeup intact throughout the day so it doesn't fade is a combination of 3 things.

1. Use makeup primer under your concleaer and foundation. This helps to prepare your skin just like you would prime a wall before painting. It helps the makeup to apply better and last longer.

2. Carry oil blotting paper (aka rice paper) in your bag and blog away any oils and sweat that may happen during the day. This helps keep your makeup from fading away because of the oils and sweat.

3. Have a translucent powder compact with you at all times. This is a part two to the blotting papers. After you blot, dust a little translucent powder over any areas that need freshening up and to reduce shine.

Try that and you should get much longer wear out of your makeup so you can look beautiful 24/7. :)
