Are you male or female?
If female then YSL Touche Eclat is the best product on the market for concealing dark circles.If you are male then you will probably just have to learn to live with them.Unfortunately they are probably inherited from your parents and there is nothing you can do about it.

hi daffy,
is that eclat stuff any good as ive often been tempted to try it, but wasnt sure as its quite expensive isnt it?
do you apply it under or over foundation and what shades does it come in as ive not a clue what i should choose.
thanks

[ummmm]

Touche Eclat does not look shiny at all.I have used it for years and never had a problem with it. Some of the top models use it and make-up artists always have it as a 'staple' in their bags.
If it looks shiny on you mel0ns then you are applying it wrongly or using the wrong shade for your skin tone.

Looobylooo,you apply touche eclat on top of foundation but before powder,if you use a powder foundation then use the touche eclat last. The shade you use depends on your skintone. I use the lightest one because I am very pale skinned.
By the way,you can get the product for much less than £20.00 if you buy online.

Be careful with Touche Eclat if you have sensitive skin in any way, I took a bad allergic reaction to it after using it round my eyes and as a highlighter on other parts of my face. This then turned into atopic eczema and took about a fortnight to go down! I mentioned this to a beautician and she said it is common with TE as it is so full of chemicals and to try a different on instead.

I now use the Dior one but found the Collection 2000 one to be a fantastic cheap alternative! This one:

oooh dear chazza that wasnt good then was it.
ive heard about people having a reaction to it either somewhere else or its that i remember reading a post about it once before from you somewhere on here.
i might have a look at the collection 2000 one when im next in boots, see what thats like.

YSL Tocuhe Eclat that is ok but I much prefer SpaceUk Laura Mercier range who do a specific eye cover up which is also relatively expensive but I think it's better. I also have sensitive skin as well though so maybe that's why.

wear sunglasses.....

^^^I also do that.

[daffy654]

I have tried a few of the cheaper brands and I always end up going back to Touche Eclat. I only ever use it around my eyes as that is what it is specifically designed for. I would never use it as a general concealer.
I do have a lot of late nights as vibra says ;-) and unfortunately I am also genetically predisposed to dark circles....my mum looks like she has two permanent black eyes.lol

It can be a sign of toxin build-up. Have a lymphatic massage on the face and/or body. It will make a significant difference. Lymphatic drainage is available at most good beauty salons.
