does anyone have a suggestion for undereye puffiness? I use brighteners .. it helps. have tried many many under eye/ reduce puffiness creams - have seen no results. I have tried a few "fake -outs" like qvc's Genie instant line smoother or Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye, and they are instant fake outs... BUT.. hard to get it 'just right'. Use too much, white crust under eyes (YUCK!), use too little ... nada... anyone have any suggestions..? something that really fills the lines under the 'bag' so it's not so noticeable? something? thanks :-)

ps... be kind - this photo has me with NO makeup ..& i'm 52, so go easy! lol

If you had to prioritize; are you trying to reduce the puffiness or to minimize the lines?

I don't mind laugh lines, crows feet.. they are minimal for me. the problem is.. there are lines under the 'bags' - sort of outlining the bags.. which is what i dislike. so i'm not really sure how to answer ... in general i don't have many line. what are you thinking?

hhhhmmm. have you tryed Avon? Try their "Eye lift pro" In all honesty compared to all the other retailers its not a bad price and if you dont like it you can retrun it and get your money bakc. you can also ask an Avon rep for a FREE sample.

Or yould also try AVONS NEW eye treament cream called "Genics". Again compared to other retailers its not a bad price and you can always return it and get your money bakc if you dont like it even after you opened it and tryed it. I hear it soiposed to work wounders on the eye area, so it may be worth a shot

When it comes to line fillers a lot of them work to plump up the skin to help minimize the lines, whereas creams to diminish puffiness work against that. It's not that they're drying per se, but if you're taking the volume down the lines may become more obvious.

Does that make sense?

Shiseido is by far the best i've seen, a little expeansive, but worth it go to a dillards or macys and find a shiseido counter they will do a free facial massage using the eye cream

You are beautiful without make up :-) ... my mum (and many of my mother of the bride clients) have a similar problem. My mum saw a plastic surgeon about the issue to see if there was a non-invasive way to remove some of the puffiness from the bags under her eyes. He informed her that the illusion of bags and puffiness under her eye was not an excess that needed to be removed but it actually caused by a loss of collagen beneath the skin and a loss of skin elasticity in the eye area he advised the only way to remedy this is with fillers to plump out the skin around "the bag". I help out my mum and my clients by using a combination of concealers to attempt to minimise shadows and bring forward the skin around the puffiness. I use a skin tone concealer to conceal any darkness or discolouration and then I use a lighter (about 2 shades lighter) directly in the crease below the puffiness. This will give the appearance of bringing this area forward and making t appear less deep, minimising the appearance of the puffiness. It will help to experiment with different shades and blending until you find what is perfect for you but just keep in mind light and shade in the same way we contour and highlight but just on a smaller more detailed scale. I hope this helps :-) Much Love
Claire

Hi Sherri. I advise for you to try out Benfits cosmetics. They have an amazing eye concealer, called "stay don't stray" its amazing because it brightens and reduces dark circles and can be used all around the eye and it won't clump or look heavy. But what i find works on a lot of my customers is combining that with the "It's potent" eye cream. mix them both together when applying if your in a rush. It boost micro circulation to the skin of the eye which means it reduces puffiness and dark circles.
Let me know how it goes.!

wow.... thank you all... Claire S., I do use under eye concealer & brightener, I don't have dark circles.. just that little puff with the line. don't think I would ever opt for surgical procedure .. happy to go the makeup route. I use an under eye balm from Giorgio armani now.. which is nice... moist ( doesn't do anything to the puff) but nice cream. Used to use one from Olay definity.. but they don't make it anymore.. it had a luminous finish that seemed to look good under my eyes. Tamara R - I wondered about fillers for the line... though I don't know I would want to do fillers... Consuelo A - I have never tried anything Avon ... usually a dept store brand girl. Brittany Alana M., Jena O. & Emma M. I will try to get samples & see if I like these products better , thanks for suggesting! Nicole H - I will go look up the You tube videos you suggested. I'm currently hooked on Clientele's under eye concealer .. I do use the natural ( light) & the tan (medium) .. looks nice... but I was really trying to find something like the 2 products I mentioned - (1) Qvc's Genie instant line smoother or (2) Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye - only more user friendly ... it fakes the smooth puff-less eye.. but so many issues .. they both leave white.. or crackle -y flakes under the eye if you use too much, or do nothing if you use too little. wondered if anyone had encountered another with less issues! ? If anyone has ever tried either of the 2 I mentioned.. it really sucks it all in ..like magic. But it is difficult to estimate the exact perfect quantity of product. & once you've done your makeup .. the last thing you want is to have to wash it off & start over! lol thank you all for trying... :-) This one is me ..with makeup <3

Thx Secretlysarahann S., his video was amazing... I did try that... but maybe the line under the bag is too deep set already... didn't melt away like his... but I'll keep trying just in case it's technique! If anyone hears of a great product like Genie instant line smoother or Peter Thomas Roth Instant FIRMx Eye, please let me know.. hoping someone makes one without the white crust effect..lol
