Question

PTH2009

Hi

i am a 23 year old male who for years have been suffering from dark circles under my eyes. I get enough sleep, eat right and exercise but they still exist and it drives my confidence levels down because people always thinks theres something wrong with me.

Anyway is there any Male make up i can buy that will get rid of these circles for a few hours at least. ???

A good eye cream might help brighten them up a bit,I get really bad circles and ever since I started using eye cream they have faded alot!

Also Concealer could help but get one to match your skin tone exactly because your male and wont be putting make up on over it you don't want it to be noticeable.

Try and up your water intake in case you aren't getting enough,dark circles can be a sign of dehydration.

Cold cucumbers on the area for 10 mins might help too.

I have also heard that cold tea bags on the eyes are good aswell!

Hope this helps

Concealer is your best bet, but like the other poster said make sure that you match the tone of your skin - which isn't too tricky to do.
A cheap concealer from Boots is all you need as well, there's no need to be looking at expensive products.

Once you blend it in well, no one will have any idea you've anything on your face, so don't be paranoid

This concealer from Aldi:

It's only a fiver. It's light textured so won't look like cakey make-up. IT comes in two shades, pick one a little lighter than your skin colour.

A corrector will cover the darkness, a concealer won't do much for them.....Have you seen your doctor to rule out any medical condition? It could be down to a number of things like allergies,nasal congestion, lifestyle factors?? It could also just be heredity.

i got Max Factor Pan stick 13.

Hopefully it will get rid of them for a few hours at least

Graftobian's colour corrector wheel has an excellent under eye corrector and the ones from Bobbi Brown are great too. Even though they're usually more effective than just regular concealers I'd give Collection 2000's one a go as it doesn't cake and it really helps dark circles, just apply very, very lightly from the start!

Also Garnier have their new bb cream eye roll ons which might be some use!

Be careful applying that. Pan sticks can be VERY cakey-looking and without other foundation to blend it into, it could be very obvious. It might look fine when you do it in your mirror at home but in harsher light it could easily be seen. If you are determined to stick with the panstick, I'd also get a translucent powder. It will help keep it in place and give it a more matte finish, so it will stand out less.

I do think your first port of call should be eye-creams though. They will help in the long-term, whereas makeup won't.
