Q&A: Make up for bags under the eyes that REALLY works?

Question by carolinekwright: Make up for bags under the eyes that REALLY works?
I have hypothyrodism, which causes my eyes to bag slightly. I have been lucky enough to find 1 plastic surgeon who help me with that, but I don’t have the money right now. I had restalyne yesterday, but I have yet to see the results, and I did not care for the doctor’s manner. He wants to see in two weeks to see if I need a touch up (I do) but I am not too hopeful that restalyne works for me. In short, I need someone to tell me a cream (price IS NOT an issue -we’re talking BEAUTY here) if there is one, that I can use to minimize my bags until I can afford the surgery (which should be around June ’07) I would also like the cream now, to cover up the swelling from the restalyne.

PS – I also had botox for my forehead, and that was also not a success (still have lines). I also notice putting in my contacts that I frown, so I realize that 0 an injection shot every 4 months is not incentive enough for me not stop frowning. Any suggestions that area as well? Thank you.

    I’m sure you’ve tried the at home remedies, but if you haven’t- put wet tea-bags in the fridge and when they are cold put them under your eyes. The reason it works has to do with the caffeine in the tea.
    The eye cream I would recommend is Chanel Precision: Age Delay Eye. It’s a rejuvenation eye gel; anti-puffiness/dark circles. I have found that it works really well. It has a cooling ingredient that makes your skin feel and look great. Good Luck!

    Look at all the additional problems that came with the first effort to deceive! “What a tangled web we weave!” Your face is not something to experiment with! Stick to tea bags and cold cucumber slices under the eyes or over, where ever the swelling is.
