Eyeshadow Q. and de-puffing eye Q. - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

NikiX5 · 12-15-2002, 10:15 PM

Hey guys!!

In the morning when I don't get enough sleep, My eyes are so puffy and they feel incredibly puffy.
Mostly my upper eyelids. Sheesh!
So does anyone know how to de-puff them?

And does anyone know how to put more earthly toned eyeshadows(brown) on without making it look too dark??
I wan't a smoky eye, but not so it looks like a clown.
I love the color brown! any tones of it.

Not sure on the eyeshadow questions. I'm a redhead so those smokey eyes don't go to well on me lol..

I've heard that Preperation H can get rid of puffiness instantly. Some people swear by it! I've tried it once and it took care of the problem, but my eyes weren't super puffy that day. I'm going to try it again.

You could try putting a spoon in the fridge before you go to bed. When you wake up it'll be nice and cold. Then you use the back of the spoon on your eyes to cool down the puffiness.

I'll try the cold spoon!

I had the same problem with my eye lids being very puffy after i got up in the morning so i bought a eye mask and put it in freezer and put the mask on and that worked like a charm for me. U only have to have mask in freezer for 15 minutes. I have also tried the spoon thing and that worked well too. Good Luck!!!

Hi there...I am new to this board so "hi!!" Anyway, the cold spoon, eye mask, an ice cube wrapped in a thin towel, or anything cold helps to de-puff... I know 'cause I am always puffy!! Also, I have heard salt retention can cause this, and/or allergies, or sleeping with your head to far down, so try to sleep with your head elevated a bit more, don't eat too many salty foods before beds, and see if you have any allergies!
HTH!
