A common mistake a lot of my clients make when it comes to dark circles is that they don't understand which products to use. For example, many of them believed that products such as YSL Touche Eclat would get rid of their pronounced dark circles, but when it didn't seem to work, they piled on too much, which then highlighted their fine lines.
Luminising pens like Touche Eclat are brilliant if you want to correct a faint dark circle, or use it on top of your concealer, but is not recommended on its' own for getting rid of pronounced dark circles.
The first step to looking younger & fresher under your eyes with very dark circles is to use a skin correcting product. You need to make the blue / purple tinge under your eye look 'skin coloured' and to do this you will need a skin corrector. The colour of corrector you will need will depend on your skin tone.
Some of my favourite are:
Georgio Armani Master Corrector
Bobbi Brown Corrector
Colour Me Beautiful Skin Primer
To apply: Using your ring finger, apply your eye cream - essential to avoid creasing. Once that has dried, apply your corrector (a little goes a long way!), then gently stipple your foundation on top, apply a little concealer if necessary, and finish with a light dusting of Laura Mercier Secret Brightening powder, and voilà, 10 years younger!!
Good riddance dark circles :-)
