Bags under eyes

[Maximi]

I have horrible red bags under my eyes from drops. Does anyone know of a good concealer?

[Dorset22]

Is this from Monopost? Touché eclat and big glasses. I don’t look at mine anymore.

[Maximi in reply to Dorset22]

Yes, Monopost. I wear sunglasses as much as possible and also try to avoid looking at them!

I use Benefit Boi-ing concealer for years very good to cover dark circles from Bimatoprost/Timolol. Hope this helps

Dark circles under eyes since using drops

I use touché eclat by YSL

I used to use YSL touche eclat but have now found AYU, it’s an Irish company but they ship to UK, all of their makeup is good but their under eye concealer is excellent, and much cheaper than YSL

[Beecalmed in reply to Sodalover]

Oooo! I might try AYU then. Also using YSL but tis quite pricey.

I use Clarins Instant Concealer - 02 shade - medium/light skin tone

You only need a bit and the tube lasts for ages

I've had gradual discoloring both under my eyes and my eyelids over the last 10 years. Apparently, this is a pretty common side effect. I was using Latanoprost for years and now I'm on Lumigan. It's just hard to get all of the eye drop to stay in the eyes! My doc calls it the raccoon eye effect.

Here's what I'm doing: I use an eye cream prior, to keep the concealer from feathering into the fine lines. Then just a tiny bit of concealer under my eyes and just a bit on the lid (being careful to not get any into my eye, of course). I use very little. I've used several concealers but my current go to is the Dior 24H Wear & Hydration Creamy Concealer. It's pricey but I just use a tiny bit so anticipate it will last for a while. I've also tried Haus labs and Ilia concealers but the Dior is really the best for me. There may be other much less expensive options. If you have access to a Sephora store, Sephora doesn't give samples of the concealers as they are in a tube with a wand. But you can return Sephora items, and I'd encourage you to try them in the store on the inner wrist and then walk around in different light to see how they look. Drug stores won't have the try ahead option, but items can be returned, of course.

I see it as a balance between not using anything that might "creep" into my eyes vs not having that sunken eye, raccoon look (like my dad did). Good luck, I think there are a lot of us in the same boat, both men and women
