    You should sleep for eight hours. Exclude things that cause inflammation from your diet. Take anti-inflammatory things like turmeric. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. All this will help to remove puffiness and dark circles. You can also use eye creams that have caffeine in them.

    Liquid eyeliners can be very drying, and if you have any texture on your eyelids, they can enhance that texture. They can crack up and sometimes get into the mucous membrane of the eye. It is best to use a pencil or a gel and make sure all of these items are waterproof.

    Before putting the eyeliner, take a Q-tip and dry off your waterline quickly, with just one to two little swipes. Then put your pencil or gel eyeliner. Finally, take a small brush and tap on a similar eyeshadow color so that it sets it.

    First, make sure that you have the correct color foundation and concealer so that the shadowing from the eyeshadow does not make the dark circles look deeper. Avoid using black eyeliner. Only put the mascara on the bottom. It will even out the look.
