Puffy under eyes and dark circles become increasingly common as we age, since the skin surrounding the orbital bone is thin and prone to wrinkling and creasing. Sure, a great concealer can help—and you should be using eye cream nightly—but if you’re looking for something that’ll leave you feeling even more bright-eyed (and less puffy) in an instant, try applying an undereye mask or undereye patch prior to doing your makeup in the morning. These are a few I recommend.
