DARK CIRCLE REMEDIES
By Amy Lawrenson
Dark eye circles are caused by broken capillaries around the eyes, which causes the area under the skin to appear darker in the same way a bruise does. Overworking and lack of sleep doesn’t directly cause dark circles, they are often hereditary – so thank your parents! This means a simple eye cream isn’t going to be tough enough to do the job, so the ELLE team have put 6 products to the test to help you banish those dark patches once and for all…

Erase Paste, £18.50 by Benefit
Erase paste has changed my life. It really is the best under eye concealer I’ve tried – and I’ve tried them all. It’s thick but not stodgy, smooth but not too fine that it fills up in any creases around the eye and the colour was a perfect match for my pasty winter ravaged skin. It instantly brightened my whole eye area and lasts all day. Thank you Benefit!
Best for: complete coverage
Verdict: 5/5
