I have dark circles inderneath my eyes. I've had them for about a year or two now (I'm 14). I do not think it's a result of not having enough sleep, but genetic, because my mother has them too. Anyway, they look funny with my glasses and I was wondering if there was any way I could get rid or make them less visible.

I'm not a big fan of make-up so I don't want to get stuck with having to put on layers of concealer and powder every morning. Any suggestions would be helpful

Thanx in advance. razz

You don't need heavy make-up to lessen the effect of dark circles.

Try just enough concealer to cover the circles.
If the concealer shows too much, just dab a little liquid make-up over it.

Or some liquid make-up alone may be enough to hide the circles.
(It gives a healthy glow to the bags under my eyes! big grin )

You don't even need to cover your whole face if you don't want - just be sure to blend whatever you use.

Here's a webpage that describes the different causes of dark circles and what treatment options you have.

dark circles explained

If you think that you are genetically hyperpigmented, the treatment options are: hydroquinone cream, laser/intense light treatments, or chemical peels.

The page also discusses cover-up creams. They are better at hiding discolorations than "regular" makeup...maybe a light application of one of those would be all you'd need.
