Just about every woman older than 35 has ‘eye issues.’ That can mean puffiness, dark circles, deep furrows or tiny wrinkles, but whatever the problem, it needs to be dealt with. These things don’t go away on their own—in fact, they don’t really go away at all without surgery. But they can be diminished with a combination of creams and concealers. It may take a little experimentation, but once you find what works for you, you’ll never give it up!
