:icon_neut Don't panic! You aren't going to turn into some horrid creepy disney character! (The witch of under eye hollows!)Those hollows and dark circles under your eyes can be caused not just by age but thin skin there where the veins show through, or sinus or allergy problems, or not enough sleep or not restful healing and restorative sleep just to name a few. It could also be a vitamin deficiency or be hereditary. Find a GOOD serum with any combo of these: vit k (one of the best), vit c, peptides, natural algae extracts, antioxodants (like alpha lipoic acid), cucumer and witch hazel seem to help. Also Tea extract or chamomile are supossedly helpful as is reducing stress. There are some other things that are in Dr. Perricones book that I can't think of right now.His products are ridiculously expensive, But his recommendations are very good. If you can get a good Firming&dark circle reducing eye cream (clinique, Estee lauder, origins and principal secret make good ones) and then use a temporary tightening serum like "Sudden Change (at drug stores)or Sally hansen makes a dbl ended eye lift and concealer wand that is very good (just don't OD on the lift or you will end up with a white film) You should be OK. I go ahead and pat my foundation over it to blend it with the rest of my face but you don't have to if it matches your skin or foundation. You can also use it on other parts of your face (like between brows or nose to mouth lines or upper lip) Also to be sure you don't look sunken, put just a touch of illuminating pencil or makeup in the corner of your eyes near you nose. In addition before my eye makeup, I use Laura Geller eye spackle, it is very light in color ( a cream color) and thick but if you just touch it and pat it lightly and gently on and bring some down onto the dark spot just below the tear duct, you will notice the light takes away from the dark and it wakes up your eyes. I some of this works:icon_smil Good luck with it, I know how it is, I have the same thing! Chermarie
