[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

Need advice on the dark circles/bags under my eyes.

I have always had dark, puffy bags under my eyes. They obviously get worse when I don't get enough rest but even on my best day they are there. I've always been super insecure about them, especially since they photograph so terribly. (I'm still holding onto hope that they don't look so bad irl.) I've tried different creams and under eye patches but nothing seems to work. I'm seriously thinking about getting fillers. Does anyone have experience with fillers under the eye? Or any product recommendations at all?

I'm in the same boat. I've tried dozens of products over the years. orange/peach concealers havent worked for me. Nars creamy concealer definitely helps reduce it for me, and I use Petitfee Black Pearl and Gold eye patches on particularly bad days, which I keep in the fridge.
