Let’s take a quick look at some home remedies and makeup solutions to cure / hide these marks naturally.

MAKE UP SOLUTIONS

1) Concealer: It is the most effective beauty product for hiding the dark circles around the eyes. Apply it in small drops beneath the eyes and blend it out from the inside corner of your eyes to the outside till the concealer completely blends with the skin. It is advisable to use a concealer which is one shade lighter than your normal skin tone. Avoid applying too much as it may get noticeable.

2) Mascara: Make sure you apply mascara over the upper eyelashes only. Mascara on the lower lashes makes the dark under-eye dark circles appear darker.
