We're excited to present this article from Allure!

While backstage at the Heart Truth's Red Dress celebrity fashion show last week, I found myself most star-struck by the presence of the Today show's Ann Curry. Move aside, Denise Richards and Dita Von Teese. Here is a woman who broadcasts from Afghanistan on Monday, reports from a rally in Italy on Tuesday, and is spotted at the "running of the bulls" in Spain on Wednesday — only to end up looking bright-eyed and beautiful within the confines of your television screen on Thursday's 6 a.m. news. To see the rest, just keep reading.

So You Want to Get Rid of Dark Circles. . .

Everyone thinks they have dark circles, just like everyone wants shinier hair and stronger nails.

Everyone thinks they have dark circles, just like everyone wants shinier hair and stronger nails. As any makeup artist or dermatologist will tell you, we all have a certain amount of darkness under the eyes, but I still hear people insist that theirs are the worst. Here are some tips to prevent them:

  • Relax. Get enough sleep, drink plenty of water (and not alcohol), and visit an allergist if you suspect the problem isn't purely cosmetic. And if your under eye area is more important to you than snacks (I'm sort of on the fence about this one), try giving up salt.
  • Use cold cucumber slices, ice or a treatment like Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Mask ($54) to bring down puffiness.
  • Dab a skin firming concealer under your eyes, like Clinique All About Eyes Concealer ($15.50). Beware of choosing a color that's too light, thinking it will brighten up the area. Concealer is meant to cover – match the shade to your forehead.
  • Curl your lashes and try a blue mascara, like Benefit Bad Gal Blue, which make the whites of the eyes appear whiter.
  • Draw attention away from your eyes with a sparkly lip gloss. Distraction!

Tuesday Giveaway! Cosmedicine Opti-Mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers

Do you, like us, obsessively inspect your skin in the mirror, and at the site of a new blemish, wrinkle,or age spot, lament, "Why? Why me?" Sephora is here to tell you exactly that. From the "whys" to the "hows" to the "what-ifs," they're answering all of your frequently asked questions—even those you're embarassed to ask. Even better, every day we're giving away one product to help you implement their expertise.

Today's question: How can I make the dark circles under my eyes disappear?

The answer: The eyes are needier than the rest of the face. The skin surrounding them is extremely thin, so it's the first place to show signs of aging (read: fine lines, crow feet), not to mention the everyday problems of dark circles and puffiness. Your solution? The 1-2 punch of a treatment and concealer that target your specific eye concerns.

To combat dark circles, start by treating with Murad Lighten and Brighten Eye Treatment or Cosmedicine Opti-mologist Eye Cream with Light Diffusers. Follow by concealing with Benefit Boi-ing in Medium or Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer in Golden Light.
