I have exactly the same problem and I always look really tired even when I have loads of sleep!
Boots No 7 and Collection 2000 do really good copies of Touche Eclat and if you pat it on and seal it with a dusting of light face powder it looks fine
is it possible you have allergies? I was actually just reading an article yesterday about allergies and they can cause the sinuses to become blocked which in turn increase blood flow in that area causing dark circles under the eyes (also known as allergic shiners).
I learn something new everyday.
Makeup wise, I have no suggestions as I have yet to find a concealer I like.
Yep allergies, salt and vitamin deficiency can all contribute to dark eyes. It might be worth reviewing your diet to make sure you're getting all you need and not too much salt.
Make up wise...Touche Eclat is reflective which while good to make you look more awake or for light dark circles (I know it sounds like a contradiction in terms :-) )isn't so good for really bad circles. But is worth a try as is an eye cream such as eye con by benefit which is meant to help (but only seems to be effective on some people). The Dior Skinflash is excellent alternative to Touche Eclat as well.
To find a concealor the best bet is to go the counters, have a sales person apply it and see how well it's working a couple of hours later. Also gives you an idea of how well the shade works.
I have the same problem and i have found a fantastic product which i use on photoshoots. (see link below)
Its a little pricy but i swear by it and it will last you ages!
It covers anything from dark cirlces to scars to stretch marks.
Well worth the investment , the foundations are great too but id advise to visit a store as there is so many tones to choose from its better to get an exact match.
Ooh, this is interesting, I have been showing other sypmtoms for a while that have made me wonder about allergies. Not sure how you find out what you are allergic to tho!
Help! Dark shadows under eyes!
