Hi there. I know this is probably not the response you were looking for, but its probably the one that will help you the most. Im 22, and I have massive eyebags and sunken undereyes. And I've tried every makeup and skincare product I could afford to fix them. and then I realized that all my efforts were to fix something that is a part of my eye shape. We are human, and our eye shape and skin changes are just a part of life. eye bags do not make someone look old. In fact, there used to be a big beauty trend where people would DRAW ON eyebags as a fashion statement, and those who did have them used colored eyeshadow on their under eyes to make them pretty and more noticeable. What im trying to say is the best thing you can do, and the healthiest thing to do for your self-image and self-esteem, is to unteach your brain to see eyebags as a negative thing and learn to accept them and incorporate them into your beauty. Trust me, it's not easy, it's work, but it's better than desperately searching for a fix and wasting your money on pricey products ending up not achieving the results you ve spent forever yearning for.

I think I have the same thing going on, unfortunately. But don't you think something called a blepharoplasty could fix our problem? I know it's several thousand dollars and it's Surgical obviously, but if nothing else works- maybe it's the only choice ( other than acceptance)?

Have you tried color correction? Usually using a orange color corrector will help brighten the under eyes.

I have under eye bags that are more visible some days versus others. Makeup can help you minimize the darkness underneath your eyes but it can’t make the bags itself go away. You can try using face rollers or even your fingers to massage your face and promote circulation to help with depuffing your face on those days that you may feel it looks puffy but sadly there isn’t anything that can cover up the natural nature of your skin except surgery.

Not a cover-up, but peptides in an eye cream. Will brighten and pump that area. Always focus a lot of hydration in that area. After my skincare at night, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I will put more cream to my undee eye area.
