My dark circles have dark circles

Night shifts during the week, games on the weekend, a cat who wants breakfast at 5am. My under-eyes are purple. Not lavender. Purple. Like a bruise.

I've tried 3 eye creams. Is there anything that actually works, or is it just sleep (I'm not going to sleep)?

It's mostly genetics and sleep, I'm sorry. Eye creams can help a bit with puffiness, but they won't do much for the color. A peach-tinted concealer is my answer for the purple.

peach concealer, writing that down. I always used a regular one and it looked grey

spoons in the freezer! put them on your eyes in the morning. does nothing for the color but the puffiness goes down a lot

Mine got noticeably better when I started sleeping with my head a bit higher (extra pillow) and drinking less in the evening. Less puffy, so less shadow.

If they're really dark and came on suddenly, maybe get your iron checked. Mine were awful and it turned out I was anemic. Iron pills fixed a lot of things, including my eyes.

@r3nmag3 huh, I've been really tired lately too. probably just the night shifts but I'll ask my doctor, can't hurt

the cat is the real problem here and we all know it
