pp: and for all of you who like her feel bad about the dark circles, I can tell you that before she mentioned it I had never noticed it among my South Asian friends and family members.

What I see is naturally what I wish I had: less wrinkles and the ability to wear bright colors without being totally awash by it

I got her a red/orange color corrector and she is very happy with it! I will tell her about to use a bit of powder on it. Thank you so much for all this advice.

She was also having lots of issue with her acne last week + tiring semester (senior)
and your tips have brightened her mood thanks

Not for a 17 year old, but fraxel laser will help with under eye pigmentation.

When you use color corrector, put a little powder over it. Let it sit, then use concealer. Works much better this way.

Why do white women need everything to include them?


+1. I’m a white lady with dark circles who was following this thread because it seems like a lot of Indian American women have got this figured out and I’d like their advice! I think I get it from my Sicilian side. I will try a more reddish color corrector and see if it helps me—I’ll try anything!


I was JUST about to say Sicilian women have the same problem.

Stop being smug and wrong.


I'm sorry it sounds smug. I wanted to share because this is what my Indian mom taught me, and it works for her and for me (she's 70 and I'm 45), and we both may have some genetic predisposition towards it. When I don't wear eye cream and give my lower and upper eyelids a massage, and drink a ton of water, they do get dry and dark.


Do you really think if it was so easy so many Indians would be walking around with dark under eye circles?

+1. Lucky you and your mom.

Vasanti Cosmetics has a good color corrector that I use. But no makeup truly gets rid of them, unfortunately.
