Bags Under Eyes

BAGS UNDER EYES

Puffy eyes primarily stem from fluid retention-they-re temporary. Bags under the eyes develop over the years, as fat accumulates in the eye area. Not everyone develops baggy eyes. But unfortunately, once bags form, there's no diet or workout to reduce them.

Minimization Tactic

Short of cosmetic surgery, there's not much that you can do about bags under your eyes.

Pat on concealer

A concealer is more opaque than a foundation and meant to be used sparingly. For best results select a concealer that's just one tone lighter than your foundation. Or, if you're wearing concealer alone, match the concealer to your shade of skin. Since baggy skin tends to be darker, you want to blend it correctly.

Using an eyeliner brushm apply concealer to the dark areas, then blend with your pinky finger, patting very lightly. Finish with foundation and with light powder alone, to set the concealer.
