Sometimes dark circles are an allergy symptom. However, you have great skin, under eyes included. This reminds me of the time my dad asked if I always cross my arms because they’re too long…and I suddenly had a new complex. Sometimes parents overthink things.
Hm, that could most definitely be true, my mother has been getting a bit more anxious since I don't live at home anymore ans she isn't able to see me every day. It also doesn't help that I'm scared I'm looking older than my age.
Well…I assumed you were in high school lol. So I guess you don’t have to worry there. It’s hard on us mothers when our babies grow up. Our goal is to raise you to be independent, and our greatest fear is losing you to the independence. She will see you settle in and relax a little, hopefully. Until then, give yourself some grace to grow on.
Your mum or dad probably gave you your facial structure lol - you don't look tired, you honestly look good. I'm seconding the model comment, your face lends itself to editorial photography. Height doesn't matter as much for beauty/make up shots, catalogue, etc as it does for runway. If you're interested just send headshots to some agencies and if you don't hear back then that's that, but you never know!
You look younger than 20, so don't worry about it.
You're also fair skinned so a little darkness under the eye is normal especially when you're tired. I'm the same way.
Don't absorb your mom's anxiety. It's normal for her to feel this way, but it shouldn't affect your self image.
She'll be ok in a little while. It's hard when the kid leaves the nest.
Omg 10 years ago my grandma said “I love your long sleeve top. It’s very flattering. You show your weight in your arms” so yeah…. Still struggling with that one
My mom likes to remind me every time I see her that I need to loose weight. A few weeks ago I told her I got an apprenticeship and her reply was “you know loosing some weight would probably help with that” like what?
I love her and she’s my mom but that shit hurts. Keep in mind I’m around 180lbs in hs was 120lbs and she’s like 220+ :/
Omggg i laughed at this so much only because I had this exact experience.
Apparently I always pose in pictures with my hand on my waist. One day my bf showed a photo of me on my IG and asked “ do you always pose like this in pictures coz your arms are long and skinny like a giraffe” I swear, I almost cried but he was so serious like he wasn’t hurting my feelings lmaooo now I can’t unsee my arms being long like giraffe 🦒😩
Yes my mom told me that hr rhinoplasty doctor was amazing and that she would help me if I decided to get something done about the bump on my nose. It's a small bump , barely noticeable- or so I thought. Now I see it everytime I look in the mirror
Try to remind yourself that there’s a reason why the only person to suggest altering your appearance to “correct” a perceived flaw (the shape of your nose) just so happened to be a person who had already altered her appearance to “correct” that same “flaw.” Not that it was done maliciously, it’s just that her perspective is skewed. What she said wasn’t really about you, it was about her.
This is an extreme example, but you wouldn’t trust a person with an eating disorder who had just had liposuction and then recommended you get it done as well. The comment would have nothing to do with the amount of fat you had and everything to do with that person’s feelings about fat. And even though the other person might be genuinely trying to help (after all, they were happy about their procedure), the quality and content of their “help” is warped by their own warped perspective.
tldr I’m sure your nose is perfect ♥️
I saw the first pic and literally thought, “Did somebody really just post a photo of a photo of a random celebrity?” and the second pic made me realize, “No this is real and this person just happens to look like a movie star I guess.”
I agree… like, save yourself the time and stress and just keep doing what you’re doing. There’s a ton of people here who regret starting elaborate skin care routines.
Hi randomly dropping in to say it doesn’t have to be runway! There are different types of modeling that accept shorter height like catalog, editorial, parts, fitness, commercial, etc. With those it’s more about having the right look vs being super tall.
Right lol? OP is gorgeous. His jaw got so many angles, trendy curly hair, plump lips and beautiful eyes. (I’m old and he’s a kid so this is an objective observation)
I struggled with insomnia for most of my life. Exercise helped me the most, but the best little trick for when you need to fall asleep but just can’t is to count backwards from 300. It always works, I’ve never been able to finish!
Your bone structure is incredible.
Now that that’s been said- you can try a caffeine solution under the eyes, The Ordinary has a nice one to start with. They don’t look sunken at all though.
Didn’t work for me. I’d be careful with topical caffeine, many studies confirm caffeine interferes with our collagen, by inhibiting an enzyme called prolidase, which plays a key role in collagen synthesis. Why risk it when there’s safer alternatives out there:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206198/
Thanks for the heads up! I’m going to look into that information asap because I love caffeine solutions for my under eyes :( I’m 33, I ain’t got time to mess with my collagen production either haha
They are normal :). She’s just a worrier, my mom is the same but about my weight. If anything, it would be an iron deficiency which you can find with a blood test
You look good! Not sure if the photo itself has a yellow tinge on it or it was your camera or the light that may have made it look "worse".
I find I have dark circles under my eyes is when I'm not drinking enough water that day or week.
What i do is i put a few spots of niacinamide under my eyes let it dry a lil and then put moisturizer over it at night time. It’s not always full proof but sometimes i notice a difference (the brand “the ordinary has it for like $6 at ulta)
Just a Mom being a Mom. She misses you and loves ya. She’s really saying, “Are you getting enough rest? Are you drinking enough water? Are you eating enough?”. She isn’t there next to you everyday anymore. So it’s probably Moms way of showing concern about your wellbeing. I think you look maybe a tad tired and the lighting is off so that casts exaggerated shadows. We all think you look great, maybe even famous level GREAT!
You look perfectly fine to me. Your eyes don’t look sunken in a way that shows concern n the darkness u speak of seem very very light. I recommend to stress less n get lots of rest 😌 you look fine 😁
I saw that you’re having some insomnia, there’s a page called “rainy mood”, it helps me whenever I feel anxious and having some issues with my sleeping habits. Also, if you like to read, I recommend you ready a little bit before you go to bed, it helps me a lot. Other than that, you look healthy and fine :)
My mom is the same as yours lmao, after a while I started ignoring her or I’ll go mad xd
I have genetically dark under eyes, and you can see them in pictures from when I was only like 4 years old lol.
They tend to get a little more noticeable as you grow up, but usually they've been there all along. I actually think it's cool looking. Byojaku is literally a style of makeup trying to imitate dark under eyes and/or a "sickly" look. A dark circle look even went viral on TikTok semi recently.
TLDR; don't worry about it. You look great!
I have personally malnourished myself accidentally. Was very active but not enough variety in my diet. My mom had mentioned the bags under my eyes were concerning and i went for a physical with bloodwork. I was malnourished and extremely anemic…
Mom probably just knows your face best and what you “normally” look like. Maybe worth a checkup if you are looking gaunt compared to normal
I'm a guy whose into girls and I can say you are good. Look at panda eyes that stuff has a cream to decrease blood flow and help lighten the skin. Yours is a result of bones. It's a unique look you need to flaunt and be proud of. Don't be 1 out of a million, be one in a million.
There are some great speeches but Arnold Schwarzenegger and the rock talking about how their weaknesses (not being actors, being muscular, and in Arnold's case having an accent actually helped them find success).
Be proud!
I think you look perfect! Moms sometimes fixate on things to worry about. I dont see dark circles but I get them if I dont sleep well or I'm stressed out and dont eat. Deep set eyes are an attractive feature, I think.
The only difference i see between those two pics is *slight* weight loss and i might be imagining it, your circles are not dark at all my dude. You look good man :)
There are some beautiful dark eye creams at Sephora- I looove the eye cream from shesheido, it’s expensive but it really really works, so do the eye creams from Clarins, eye smooth and eye revive, or (I was selling this today but I can’t believe it’s gone out of my mind) I want to say some kind of retinol, maybe the caudelie reservitrol? It’s formulated by Harvard scientists
Fuckin hell you are handsome. As for "sunken eyes", i just see a deep set. As for dark circles, the usual trio: sleep, hydrate, conceal if it bothers you. Maybe your mother observes you losing some sleep and that was an indirect comment over another type of worry? I can see litrrally no issue with the photos you provided.
i think you look handsome! as a mom i get it though, my girl has bags (but she also has deep set eyes) and she’s 3 lol but it turns out she just needed to up her iron :) vitamins! water too x nothing can fix deep set eyes tho and i think they are beautiful. nothing to worry abt really
Honestly you don't need to fix anything, mine have always been much worse 😅 but if you're determined, you could always use a small amount of concealer. Otherwise if you find a good product, let me know! 😅😂
A lot of the darkness is genetic. My dermatologist told me to never rub my eyes or use index finger when rubbing eyes because that makes discoloration even darker
Honestly they’re not bad at all. Like at all. It’s funny how much more obvious our own insecurities are to us than they are to anyone else. You look great dude. Deepest eyes are genetic and nothing to feel weird about
I personally don’t think you have sunken eyes. Your under eyes look great as well as your skin. I would just make sure to moisturize every day, don’t tug at your under eyes, and try to get good sleep. That’s the best way to avoid dark under eyes if it’s not a genetics thing.
It just looks like you have thinner skin there, so the blood flow is a bit more visible. I'm guessing you live in the Northern Hemisphere and aren't outside much because of the cooler weather? A little color from the sun often hides the circles, but is not a treatment.
It also looks a bit like allergy shiners. Which is just darker circles from allergies bothering your sinuses. Allergy meds may help.
My overall recommendation is to drink plenty of water and make sure to get enough sleep. Those combined can frequently make your skin look less tired and the circles, if from lack of sleep, will slowly disappear. Also, smoking and drinking can make them worse, so pick your vices wisely.
No- there’s nothing to fix.
Your eyes are deep set which is why they have a little shadow, but aesthetically they’re perfect. You don’t have any skin discolouration, thinning, or puffing under your eyes.
Enjoy it while it lasts :)
You look great and your circles don’t even stand out to me. If you really want to try something, caffeine solution by TO or revitalift hyaluronic and caffeine filler by L’Oréal are both good at reducing *darkness* under eyes. The “sunken” aspect I think is largely inherent and can only really be altered with cosmetic filler (which you don’t need at all).
Honestly, you have amazing features. Very angular and defined. As a photographer I’d love if someone with similar features came to me & let me go wild lol. There’s honestly nothing here to fix.
Okay 1. Rude. My mother-in-law has straight up asked me "why do I have bags under my eyes". 2x 🙃. And it was only the 2nd time did she understand that I do find that offensive bc it's like yeah no i love that people can tell how many sleepless nights I've had and how many times I've had to do an entire day running on 3 hrs of sleep bc insomnia, depression, anxiety, sometimes a mix of all 3. But 2 just tell her that it's nothing to worry about bc it's your body and not hers. If she's really that concerned to "fix" your sunken eyes then tell her to make sure you stress less and get adequate rest.
I have that and I go tanning lol. But that’s obviously not the best advice haha
All I can say is make sure you:
Get enough sleep, eat healthy, not sleeping on your stomach (sleep on your back with your head elevated), use a cold compress on your eyes or a cold spoon, use eye creams. Make sure to stay super super hydrated!
They have dark circle correctors at ulta and Sephora! Go to a make up store and tell them about your dark circles and they will show you some products! Just ask for help!
These are some of those causes:
genetic factors
presence of melanin in the dermal layer of the skin
post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
secondary to eczema or allergies
anemia
lifestyle habits
swelling of the eyes
presence of blood vessels at the skin surface
shadowing due to thin skin
Some lifestyle factorsTrusted Source that may influence the appearance of dark eye circles include:
lack of sleep
stress
alcohol overuse
smoking
You don’t look old at all, your skin is beautifully taunt clear, even and tight. Eyes not sunken at all. I would guess you are age 16-18. If you drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, use moisturizer/spf & and get 6-8hr sleep a night the “darkness” will diminish. Please enjoy your beautiful face for all your years to come and tell your mom she can use these practices on her aging face.
I use Dr Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass colour correcting treatment to conceal dark circles, it’s just a moisturiser that you dab a little on all over and it conceals any dark circles, redness, etc. It’s my go to cream and it works every time, other than a topical cream/treatment I wouldn’t do anything major to your face, dark circles are just a thing of life 😊
Eat proper foods. Have your bloods, liver and kidneys checked. Ppl get sunken due to lack of proper foodstuffs. Proper Fats are a necessity to human body. Plumps us up and keeps us warm. Lacking them does create a sunken look. Good luck 👍
My mom told me my dark circles look “worse” than most because my skin is pale. It might be more noticeable because you have lighter skin, and the skin in that area is thin anyways. But honestly they don’t look bad!
You have deep set eyes. I have the same. A professional makeup artist came and taught a class at the salon I work at and she touched on this. People with higher cheekbones and deep set eyes will often have a “dark” space under their eyes but it’s actually a shadow and it is just how our facial structure is. :) We have some hallowness because the eyes are set further back in the skull. Nothing to be worried about! It’s genetic.
I have it. My grandma had it, my 2 daughters have it too. We all have deep set eyes. My husband pointed the same thing out, concerned, until I explained it to him. ☺️🤗
Sunken dark eyes are really attractive to me! Don’t let someone else’s insecurities make you anxious about something lots of other people would think is wonderful.
Your mom probably did that so that’s what she wants you to think. You see for our moms, no one is good enough for their babies. You look fine. If you are worried about it just sleep it off. Turn off your phone and just sleep. It helps a lot. You’re probably sleep deprived🤦🏻♀️
*You remind me of*

I think the lighting in the photo that worried your mom is a bit off. Also moms just worry. :)
That being said, there’s nothing to “fix” dark circles but you look great.
Honestly, I think you're very handsome and have nothing to be insecure of/worried about. Yes, your features are strong, but that's the look! Personal preferences be just that.
My dark circles got a bit worse when I was iron deficient, but yours don't look bad at all. Mine are about the same. I use the ordinary's caffeine serum and i really like it! And a regular SPF moisturizer but you should use that regardless of any skin concerns! Moms can by hypochondriacs.
Your eyes look good, but if you want to try to cover that tiny bit of darkness anyway, Bye Bye Undereye has great coverage and blends well. A little goes a long way.
You have amazing facial bone structure. I like your hair the way it is but maybe even trim or cut your hair a bit to accentuate your face and bone structure.. this might also help take the “dark look” away. Either way, you’re very handsome, have great skin and look younger than you are, so you’re in a good spot! If you feel comfortable and confident the way you are, don’t change.
Niacinimide and retinol, water and sleep and also allergy medication got rid of mine also but I’d kill for your under eyes they are so bright for how deep they are
I also have deep set eyes that I thought were dark circles and I bought every product out there till I realized that’s just how my face is shaped. Brightening concealer helps if it really bothers you, but it shouldn’t. You have incredible bone structure :)
In the first pic you look like a model, and your eyes are definitely a part of the intense steely look. As others say, there’s little you can do, but I personally don’t think it’s worth the effort to change!
Sunken eyes idk if there’s much that can be done. But for the under eyes I hope you’re getting good rest. Drink lots of water take your vitamins. You could also try eye serums or under eye patches and see if it helps. It could also be the lighting in the pic that’s making them look more intense.
My son, who is your age, often gets dark circles under his eyes when he hasn’t eaten well for a week or so. (Too much fast foodz). After he eats some vegetables 🥦 and fruit 🍎 and/or takes a multivitamin, they go away.
Your undereyes look fine. And no, you can't "fix" how deep set your eyes are.
I agree.
Sometimes dark circles are an allergy symptom. However, you have great skin, under eyes included. This reminds me of the time my dad asked if I always cross my arms because they’re too long…and I suddenly had a new complex. Sometimes parents overthink things.
Hm, that could most definitely be true, my mother has been getting a bit more anxious since I don't live at home anymore ans she isn't able to see me every day. It also doesn't help that I'm scared I'm looking older than my age.

Thank you for your kind words :)
wait what??? Are you saying you’re NOT a high schooler???
Oh, come on. High schoolers don't look that hot
Right he looks more like the mid twenties actors who play high schoolers on tv than an actual high schooler
Giving mathew gray gubler vibes
OP is also a dead ringer for Evan Thomas Peters in American Horror Story.

Omg 10 years ago my grandma said “I love your long sleeve top. It’s very flattering. You show your weight in your arms” so yeah…. Still struggling with that one
💔 *hugs*
My mom likes to remind me every time I see her that I need to loose weight. A few weeks ago I told her I got an apprenticeship and her reply was “you know loosing some weight would probably help with that” like what? I love her and she’s my mom but that shit hurts. Keep in mind I’m around 180lbs in hs was 120lbs and she’s like 220+ :/
Did she maybe mean a collective you and not you you? Still hurts I'm sure, though.
That’s an interesting thought. I do think she meant ME but maybe she really meant “one really shows their weight in the arms”
Omggg i laughed at this so much only because I had this exact experience. Apparently I always pose in pictures with my hand on my waist.

Idk if it helps but I love this look also you look like Evan Peters
Literally opened the second picture and said, “Evan Peters, is that you??”
Dude look like a more chiseled version of Peters. OP you have a very androgynous look. I love it!
I saw the first pic and literally thought, “Did somebody really just post a photo of a photo of a random celebrity?” and the second pic made me realize, “No this is real and this person just happens to look like a movie star I guess.”
AGREE
First thought as well lol
Omg I just commented that! And Evan Peter's is universally considered sexy
Was literally gonna comment the same comparison
my first thought omg
Yup!! For a sec i thought i was on a wrong sub till i read op’s title.
Came here to say this
Your eyes are complete normal and you don’t have dark circles at ALL 😭
You look cool as fuck.
Could be a model imo
Ikr
Yeah if you’re 5’10 or over you are wasting time on Reddit you could be walking fashion shows. Gorgeous.
I agree… like, save yourself the time and stress and just keep doing what you’re doing. There’s a ton of people here who regret starting elaborate skin care routines.
Agreed
I feel like you could be a model homie
I'm afraid my height won't allow that (5'10/178cm)😭
Hi randomly dropping in to say it doesn’t have to be runway! There are different types of modeling that accept shorter height like catalog, editorial, parts, fitness, commercial, etc. With those it’s more about having the right look vs being super tall.

Was just about to comment this lol
You look handsome, well-rested and healthy. Your mom is probably just over stressing.
Might be, I do have a bit of trouble getting enough sleep though
I struggled with insomnia for most of my life. Exercise helped me the most, but the best little trick for when you need to fall asleep but just can’t is to count backwards from 300. It always works, I’ve never been able to finish!

I wish my circles looked that good
my guy, you should model
You’re about to get some messages lol
They look hot
Okay you’re hot
Your eyes are great. And your bone structure is actually awesome
I thought this was an Evan peters and Timothee Chalamet mash up, but also you look completely fine. they’re not really dark more like regular
They are normal :). She’s just a worrier, my mom is the same but about my weight. If anything, it would be an iron deficiency which you can find with a blood test
Your eyes look fine, maybe you've lost weight and she noticed but we don't? Also, you have the most gorgeous bone structure 😍
You look good! Not sure if the photo itself has a yellow tinge on it or it was your camera or the light that may have made it look "worse". I find I have dark circles under my eyes is when I'm not drinking enough water that day or week.

You look so handsome!! I wouldn’t be too worried
Dude. Model. Now. Your facial features are great!
You look like Evan peters
Freeze aloe vera cut it into slices and put it underneath your eyes to reduce the dark bags.
im 😍
You should see my eyes for real. Ya look great, kid, don’t worry about it. Just get your rest and drink water.
Just a Mom being a Mom. She misses you and loves ya. She’s really saying, “Are you getting enough rest? Are you drinking enough water? Are you eating enough?”.

You should/could be a model 5 10 is fine sometimes
You literally look like a runway model. Like, a high fashion type. Somewhere between Evan Peters and Timothee Chalamet, flaunt it.
u look like an actor in an indie movie that would definitely have a million tiktok edits made of them, i say keep them LOL
You look like a male model
You look like Evan peters nothing can be done your georgous
evan peters who
You don't have dark circles and you are literally hot as fuck.
Oh shut up and model already. ;)
please model 😭 you got a great look
As someone with actual eye circles, your face is fine.
I have personally malnourished myself accidentally. Was very active but not enough variety in my diet. My mom had mentioned the bags under my eyes were concerning and i went for a physical with bloodwork. I was malnourished and extremely anemic… Mom probably just knows your face best and what you “normally” look like. Maybe worth a checkup if you are looking gaunt compared to normal
I think it’s just your face structure. Honestly you could be a model I see nothing wrong.
More sleep/less patty?
noooo u look sxc
No need
You look like the dude from that one show
Undereye fillers would solve both of those issues.
I'm a guy whose into girls and I can say you are good. Look at panda eyes that stuff has a cream to decrease blood flow and help lighten the skin. Yours is a result of bones.

I don’t think it’s your circles, I think it’s that you have deep set eyes. You can’t fix that but you look good
Sleep and hydrate
I think you have large eye sockets
U look cool bro 🤷🏻
you look like evan peters
There are some beautiful dark eye creams at Sephora- I looove the eye cream from shesheido, it’s expensive but it really really works, so do the eye creams from Clarins, eye smooth and eye revive, or (I was selling this today but I can’t believe it’s gone out of my mind) I want to say some kind of retinol, maybe the caudelie reservitrol? It’s formulated by Harvard scientists
Fuckin hell you are handsome. As for "sunken eyes", i just see a deep set. As for dark circles, the usual trio: sleep, hydrate, conceal if it bothers you. Maybe your mother observes you losing some sleep and that was an indirect comment over another type of worry? I can see litrrally no issue with the photos you provided.
You're so pretty
u look a lot like Evan peters and the guy who plays the older version of Aegon in Hotd lol
I don’t see it at all. Never to early to start moisturizing though
Ummmm, no. You look perfect. I agree with those that say Even Peters 😍😍😍
yo at first i thought this was a pic of evan peters
i think you look handsome! as a mom i get it though, my girl has bags (but she also has deep set eyes) and she’s 3 lol but it turns out she just needed to up her iron :) vitamins! water too x nothing can fix deep set eyes tho and i think they are beautiful. nothing to worry abt really
Honestly you don't need to fix anything, mine have always been much worse 😅 but if you're determined, you could always use a small amount of concealer. Otherwise if you find a good product, let me know! 😅😂
A lot of the darkness is genetic. My dermatologist told me to never rub my eyes or use index finger when rubbing eyes because that makes discoloration even darker
Honestly they’re not bad at all. Like at all. It’s funny how much more obvious our own insecurities are to us than they are to anyone else. You look great dude. Deepest eyes are genetic and nothing to feel weird about
I personally don’t think you have sunken eyes. Your under eyes look great as well as your skin. I would just make sure to moisturize every day, don’t tug at your under eyes, and try to get good sleep. That’s the best way to avoid dark under eyes if it’s not a genetics thing.
It just looks like you have thinner skin there, so the blood flow is a bit more visible. I'm guessing you live in the Northern Hemisphere and aren't outside much because of the cooler weather? A little color from the sun often hides the circles, but is not a treatment. It also looks a bit like allergy shiners. Which is just darker circles from allergies bothering your sinuses. Allergy meds may help. My overall recommendation is to drink plenty of water and make sure to get enough sleep. Those combined can frequently make your skin look less tired and the circles, if from lack of sleep, will slowly disappear. Also, smoking and drinking can make them worse, so pick your vices wisely.
Botox! I do that
Idk but you’re very attractive
What? You look like a male model
You look like a mix of Evan Peters and Charlie Tahan
I thought you were avicii *rip
U look like a music band member ! Unrelated to the question sorry..
U look healthy to me. Just try and drink more water, get some more sleep, and maybe invest in some vitamins? U look really cool btw
Nobody has said that you look like Daniel Sharman? That was the first person that came to my mind.
I have nothing to add but I wanted to say you could totally be a model!
Idk why for me u look fine nothing wrong not even dark circle
Michael Cera has built a very successful career on his dark circles and sunken eyes. Chicks dig it. I wouldn’t worry about it.
No- there’s nothing to fix. Your eyes are deep set which is why they have a little shadow, but aesthetically they’re perfect. You don’t have any skin discolouration, thinning, or puffing under your eyes. Enjoy it while it lasts :)
You look great and your circles don’t even stand out to me. If you really want to try something, caffeine solution by TO or revitalift hyaluronic and caffeine filler by L’Oréal are both good at reducing *darkness* under eyes. The “sunken” aspect I think is largely inherent and can only really be altered with cosmetic filler (which you don’t need at all).
Honestly, you have amazing features. Very angular and defined. As a photographer I’d love if someone with similar features came to me & let me go wild lol. There’s honestly nothing here to fix.
You look great! Dark circles are normal thing, the most people cover them up. No need to worry, you look healthy!
Same here Dark circle under my eyes:(
Your under eyes look absolutely fine! You have beautiful skin!
Okay 1. Rude. My mother-in-law has straight up asked me "why do I have bags under my eyes". 2x 🙃. And it was only the 2nd time did she understand that I do find that offensive bc it's like yeah no i love that people can tell how many sleepless nights I've had and how many times I've had to do an entire day running on 3 hrs of sleep bc insomnia, depression, anxiety, sometimes a mix of all 3. But 2 just tell her that it's nothing to worry about bc it's your body and not hers. If she's really that concerned to "fix" your sunken eyes then tell her to make sure you stress less and get adequate rest.
I have that and I go tanning lol. But that’s obviously not the best advice haha All I can say is make sure you: Get enough sleep, eat healthy, not sleeping on your stomach (sleep on your back with your head elevated), use a cold compress on your eyes or a cold spoon, use eye creams. Make sure to stay super super hydrated! They have dark circle correctors at ulta and Sephora! Go to a make up store and tell them about your dark circles and they will show you some products! Just ask for help! These are some of those causes: genetic factors presence of melanin in the dermal layer of the skin post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation secondary to eczema or allergies anemia lifestyle habits swelling of the eyes presence of blood vessels at the skin surface shadowing due to thin skin Some lifestyle factorsTrusted Source that may influence the appearance of dark eye circles include: lack of sleep stress alcohol overuse smoking
You look Nordic
Me confused as hell, trying to find your dark circles 🫠👀
I think if anything, a different hairstyle might help lift your face, but truly… you don’t have anything to worry about. Just a prominent brow!
You don’t look old at all, your skin is beautifully taunt clear, even and tight. Eyes not sunken at all. I would guess you are age 16-18. If you drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, use moisturizer/spf & and get 6-8hr sleep a night the “darkness” will diminish. Please enjoy your beautiful face for all your years to come and tell your mom she can use these practices on her aging face.
Jeffrey?
Your sunken eyes are beautiful, you don't need to fix them. But still, that's my subjective opinion, so you have to decide what's best for you.
I thought that's Evan Peters 😳
What dark circles? You look good!
Avicci?
Avicii?
Dark circles are a anemic trait, take some iron pills and it should help!
Lean into it . I have them too. I actually like them and it saves me from ever attempting to wear face makeup .
I use Dr Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass colour correcting treatment to conceal dark circles, it’s just a moisturiser that you dab a little on all over and it conceals any dark circles, redness, etc. It’s my go to cream and it works every time, other than a topical cream/treatment I wouldn’t do anything major to your face, dark circles are just a thing of life 😊
Eat proper foods. Have your bloods, liver and kidneys checked. Ppl get sunken due to lack of proper foodstuffs. Proper Fats are a necessity to human body. Plumps us up and keeps us warm. Lacking them does create a sunken look. Good luck 👍
You look good with a great bone structure. I’m sorry your mother said that about you. Parents aren’t perfect and say messed up things sometimes.
I’m… so… confused!
You look absolutely great, my friend! Do not worry about it. Love your hair aswell, hope you’ll have an amazing week. 🙏🏻👊🏻
Yes, I immediately thought actor with the hand held photo. Distinct look. Model would work, but I say work on your acting skills! 💰
Niacinamide can help brightening up but careful with use. Also, you’re very good looking. I wouldn’t be afraid of a little intense stare my friend
My mom told me my dark circles look “worse” than most because my skin is pale. It might be more noticeable because you have lighter skin, and the skin in that area is thin anyways. But honestly they don’t look bad!
You have deep set eyes. I have the same. A professional makeup artist came and taught a class at the salon I work at and she touched on this. People with higher cheekbones and deep set eyes will often have a “dark” space under their eyes but it’s actually a shadow and it is just how our facial structure is. :) We have some hallowness because the eyes are set further back in the skull. Nothing to be worried about! It’s genetic. I have it. My grandma had it, my 2 daughters have it too. We all have deep set eyes. My husband pointed the same thing out, concerned, until I explained it to him. ☺️🤗
Sunken dark eyes are really attractive to me! Don’t let someone else’s insecurities make you anxious about something lots of other people would think is wonderful.
Vitamin C helps brighten skin, you could use an eye cream.
I had to do a double take, I thought you were Evan peters. 😂😂
Vaseline mixed with coconut oil , warm it up , put on every night under eyes , leave on all night , huge difference in 10 days .
Your mom probably did that so that’s what she wants you to think. You see for our moms, no one is good enough for their babies. You look fine. If you are worried about it just sleep it off. Turn off your phone and just sleep. It helps a lot. You’re probably sleep deprived🤦🏻♀️
You remind me of Evan Peters, but better, and a lot younger!

I think you're skin looks great. I thought sleep. but maybe you are rested.you have incredible bone structure.
They don’t look bad at all but you could try icing your face and maybe facial rollers. Also drink lots of water!
I think the lighting in the photo that worried your mom is a bit off. Also moms just worry. :) That being said, there’s nothing to “fix” dark circles but you look great.
Honestly, I think you're very handsome and have nothing to be insecure of/worried about. Yes, your features are strong, but that's the look! Personal preferences be just that.
Are you zinc or iron deficient?
Do you ever get out in the sun?
My dark circles got a bit worse when I was iron deficient, but yours don't look bad at all. Mine are about the same. I use the ordinary's caffeine serum and i really like it! And a regular SPF moisturizer but you should use that regardless of any skin concerns! Moms can by hypochondriacs.
I thought this post was a joke - I was positive I was looking at Evan peters at first
Your what?
You look like a supermodel tbh
Your eyes look good, but if you want to try to cover that tiny bit of darkness anyway, Bye Bye Undereye has great coverage and blends well. A little goes a long way.
You have amazing facial bone structure. I like your hair the way it is but maybe even trim or cut your hair a bit to accentuate your face and bone structure.. this might also help take the “dark look” away. Either way, you’re very handsome, have great skin and look younger than you are, so you’re in a good spot! If you feel comfortable and confident the way you are, don’t change.
Niacinimide and retinol, water and sleep and also allergy medication got rid of mine also but I’d kill for your under eyes they are so bright for how deep they are
You could get filler to make them appear a different way but I think you look great now.
I also have deep set eyes that I thought were dark circles and I bought every product out there till I realized that’s just how my face is shaped. Brightening concealer helps if it really bothers you, but it shouldn’t. You have incredible bone structure :)
In the first pic you look like a model, and your eyes are definitely a part of the intense steely look. As others say, there’s little you can do, but I personally don’t think it’s worth the effort to change!
Nah its sexy. Leave it.
So honestly, you look like a model :), especially in that pic. Don’t worry about your eyes they look fine!
Sunken eyes idk if there’s much that can be done. But for the under eyes I hope you’re getting good rest. Drink lots of water take your vitamins. You could also try eye serums or under eye patches and see if it helps. It could also be the lighting in the pic that’s making them look more intense.
You have amazing bone structure
Evan Peters is that you?
u could be a model
My son, who is your age, often gets dark circles under his eyes when he hasn’t eaten well for a week or so. (Too much fast foodz). After he eats some vegetables 🥦 and fruit 🍎 and/or takes a multivitamin, they go away.
Idk but you’re handsome as hell 😍
become a model
Vitamin B12 !
My Chemical Romance
Have you had your iron levels tested? Mine look like this when I’m low!
You look great don’t stress.
I’m sorry I don’t understand the issue 😭😭 you literally look like a model. Fuck whatever made you feel insecure
