    This drugstore pick is a favorite because it doesn't just cover up dark circles: It reduces puffiness and blends evenly, without caking. The only downside is the perfume smell, which seems a tad out of place under our eyes.

    Now that our tans have officially faded and we're waking up before the sun does, our complexions are starting to bear the brunt of winter's bite. That means puffy undereye bags, fresh breakouts, and - our favorite! - seemingly incurable dark circles. Thanks a lot, heredity.



    Because skin around our eyes is much thinner, more fragile, and often more dry than the rest of our face, our peepers are a dead giveaway when we're lacking sleep. Enter: concealer. It seems like a wonder product and there's only about a million formulas to choose from, but finding one with a consistency and shade that blends into your skin (rather than giving you reverse-raccoon eyes) is, well, daunting.
