Permanent Under Eye Camouflage
Unlike concealer that can look cakey and hide too much, permanent under-eye camouflage brightens your eye area from underneath. It also helps reduce puffiness and fine lines.

Dark Circles
Dark circles under the eyes can make you look tired and aged. They are very common and can be caused by various factors, from lack of sleep to health issues. Regardless of their cause, they can affect your self-esteem and confidence. Luckily, there are many treatment options available for permanent under-eye camouflage
The thin skin under the eyes is especially vulnerable to forming dark circles because blood vessels are close to the surface. The blue-hued deoxygenated hemoglobin in these blood vessels is very visible through this thin skin and gives the area a discolored appearance. This is also why you need to be very careful when applying makeup around this delicate area.
Puffiness
Under-eye bags and dark circles can detract from the rest of your face, no matter how flawless your makeup application is. Although there is no permanent solution for the puffiness caused by aging, lack of sleep, or fluid retention, there are several ways you can conceal them using makeup and skin care.
The first step to concealing under-eye bags and darkness is hydrating the delicate area. Try a serum with hyaluronic acid to help plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. Then, if you have puffiness, apply a product that contains caffeine, a vasoconstrictor that reduces swelling.
Some people may also have puffiness under the eyes due to allergies or fluid retention. For those who are prone to seasonal flare-ups, you can use a gua sha tool or jade roller to stimulate circulation and de-puff the area.
For a longer-term solution, reduce salt and alcohol consumption to help minimize fluid retention.
Fine Lines
The skin around the eyes is thin, and it’s naturally prone to wrinkles. This area also loses collagen as we age, causing the formation of fine lines and creases.
This is why it’s important to take preventative measures, like using sunscreen daily and wearing a wide-brimmed hat when going outside.
This can stretch the skin too much, leading to a breakdown of elasticity and the formation of fine lines.
It’s also a good idea to avoid tanning the area before receiving a PMU treatment. It is also important to follow the aftercare instructions your artist provides you with. This will ensure the treatment heals correctly and lasts longer.
Age Spots
The thin skin of the eye contour and the surrounding neck are prone to dark circles, rings, or shadows that can make you look tired, aged, or unhealthy.
They can be caused by assorted reasons: heredity, aging, mental and physical stress, nutritional deficiencies, smoking, dietary habits, or sleep deprivation.
Hyperpigmentation can also occur in the eye contour area, which is particularly sensitive to external factors like sun exposure and skin aging. This often leads to the appearance of brown spots in the corner of the eyes or other areas.
A doctor can examine these marks to determine whether they are benign or melanoma (a skin cancer that grows in the cells that produce pigment), and then decide on the best treatment.
Topical lighteners that contain vitamin C may be used to gradually lighten these spots. In some cases, doctors can recommend cosmetic procedures to remove them. However, these techniques can be dangerous and should only be performed by a qualified dermatologist more information
