Is this stuff any good?
I'm young (24) but I've always had dark puffy undereye circles. Everyone says "drink more water!" "get more sleep!" "maybe it's allergies!" but I've tried all that and it's just genetics-- my mom has them too. And I happen to be blessed with super pale skin so they stand out like... to the point that when I don't wear concealer people constantly ask if I'm feeling okay. But even when I do, they're still visible. My mom gave me some Clinique eye cream that she uses, but it's more for older skin I guess-- wrinkle-reducing and all that, and since I don't HAVE any wrinkles it doesn't seem to do much.
So would the Fast Response eye cream do anything for me? I was at the MAC store today and was going to try and get a sample but they were super busy and I couldn't get any attention from any of the MAs.
I was also wondering what type of concealer works best for undereye circles. I was trying to ask the MA that today and she said the stick kind, scooped some out for me, then walked away. I tried it but I couldn't really get it to look right-- it seemed too light even though it was my shade (NW15) and it my undereye area still looked purpley to me. I don't know if there's a technique I'm not aware of, a brush I should be using (I just dabbed it on with my finger and blended), or if the color or forumula is wrong for me or what.
Anyone?
