Hello, friends! I hope you are having a fabulous week. TODAY we are talking about something that is appropriate PRE-baby, POST-baby, or SANS-any kind of baby. We all get dark circles, ok. It’s just a part of life. I get them SUPER BAD – meaning my eye bags literally turn purple and it looks like I got punched in the eye if I don’t get enough sleep. SO I’ve pretty much mastered how to minimize my under eye bags + circles as much as humanely possible. Here are 10 of my favorite products for looking awake and refreshed!
Top 10 Products For Getting Rid of Dark Circles
CONCEALER / CORRECTOR:
This concealer is the BOMB. It’s even better than Tarte Shape Tape, honestly. If you have dark circles: you can bet your bottom dollar this concealer is going to cover those circles for you. It’s SUPER opaque, and I suggest going one shade lighter than your skin tone to brighten up your under eye!
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector
This is a must have for EVERYONE. It comes in two shades – light/medium, medium/dark – and it really does WONDERS in brightening up those under eyes AND it’s in a pink/peach tone which aids in canceling those purple tones.
Tula Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm
This stuff is kind of a holy grail for a lot of people. My BFF Erica from Coming Up Roses actually turned me on to this because she raves about it in her instastories ALL THE TIME. I finally gave in and bought it myself and she’s right – it’s amazing. It’s always sold out on Tula’s website and so many people love it, too!
GELS:
Physicians Formula Refreshmint Cucumber & Bamboo Eye De-Puffer Gelée
Alright. This stuff is actual magic. It isn’t available QUITE yet – stay tuned on physiciansformula.com – but once it is, you totally need it. I LOVE it. It has slight cooling properties and it helps to de-puff up your under eye so those bags aren’t nearly as visible as they were before.
Needles No More No More Baggage Eye De-puffing Gel
I got this product in a BoxyCharm box a few months ago and I didn’t use it for forever. HOWEVER – I love it now!! It really does work, and does a really similar job to the PF De-Puffer Gelée. They both have slight cooling properties and I also like using them after I’ve had a really intense cry (which happens more often now…).
EYE PATCHES:
These have been my go-to eye patches for MONTHS. I keep them in my fridge so they are really cold when I put them on my eye, and I usually keep them on for about 15 minutes while I style my hair. They are amazing at de-puffing my eyes and reducing darkness. I go back and forth between these brands all the time.
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Detox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches
Pixi Beauty DetoxifEYE Depuffing Eye Patches
Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels
Crystal Collagen Gold Powder Eye Mask
PHYSICAL PRODUCTS:
Jade rollers can totally be a myth (I’ve got a whole blog post on it here) – but I actually do think they can help with getting rid of puffiness and dark circles. The less puffy my eyes are, the less dark they are, and Jade rollers can help with draining excess fluid from your face!
PIN THIS FOR LATER:
I hope this helps you find some products that are worth spending you $$ on if you struggle like I do with dark circles. There is NOTHING more frustrating that doing a full glam, beautiful makeup look and realizing you can STILL see your purple under eye circles underneath it. Literally nothing. Some of these products are super similar (I know I have a few eye gels/eye masks on there) but everyone reacts differently to different products, so some of these products may work better than others for you, and I wanted to make sure they were ALL included!!
What is your favorite way to get rid of dark eye circles?!? Let me know in the comments below!
OH HEY GIRL HEY thank the sweet Lord that you got on Tula’s eye balm bandwagon. I have both the Peter Thomas Roth and Pixi eye patches in my collection but haven’t tried yet, so obvi have to get on that now! Also need to try the one from your BoxyCharm – I might need to just GET BOXYCHARM already bc you rave about it!
Coming Up Roses
I got the Tula eye patches from a BoxyCharm box and lovvvvvvvved them! I can use any eye patches and creams for days with 3 small kids
I agree! I hate applying concealer and noticing a huge bag under my eyes. Terrible! I need to try these for sure! I’ve tried “It’s Potent” eye cream from Benefit and I can say that it truly brightens the eye.

I have to try these ever so famous Tula patches! I get your normal amount of “mom dark eyes” haha, and I don’t actually do anything about them but I should. Love these suggestions!
thanks for trying out the products and giving us your review! I might actually try some of the products out.
Definitely want to try some of these products out!! I’ve been seeing those eye patches everywhere and want to give them a try!

I needed this post in my life. I need to use more eye creams and serums for my eyes, sometimes I feel like they get dehydrated because I don’t focus on them!
Those products look fab! And those pesky dark circles can be such a pain. Thanks for the practical suggestions!
These are great tips!! I definitely want to try some of these. Perfect for when I’m super jet-lagged.
People keep recommending Jade rollers and I think I need to finally buy myself one! They seem to do wonders!
I SOOO needed this! Thanks for sharing! I’ve been wanting to try the Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector definitely going to snag it now!
Man, I’ve been on the dark circle bandwagon for way too long. I’ve always heard that they were genetic, but I figure some depuffing never hurt! Writing down these recommendations right now!
I need all the help I can get when it comes to under-eye circles. I’ve had them so bad my entire life, and when I was a kid, I used to get asked regularly if everything was okay at home because it looked like I’d been punched! Ah! Now I’m grateful for concealer, but even that doesn’t always cut it. Thanks for the tips!
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this Taylor! I need this in my life so much right now especially that my kids are in summer break and we’ve been sleeping later than usually. My under eyes can you a little TLC right now! I’m totally getting these eye gel patches!
The ColourPop concealer is my favorite. I love how beautiful the coverage is.
I have the worst dark circles! I swear by the Tarte CC Undereye Corrector, it is heaven sent!!
I struggle with dark circles so bad! I love the pixi eye patches but I need to try these other options! 🙂 Thank you for sharing babe!
