What can I do to make my eyes look less tired, sad, and grumpy looking (without make-up)? (photos)

Question

I don't like how the areas around my eyes look so dark and sunken in. I don't really like the lines under my eyes either. I always feel I get enough sleep so I don't feel tired. I just always look tired. If I don't wear make up, I get comments like "what happened to your eyes" or "did you sleep?" Or "are you okay? You look sad..." LOL. Make-up helps but I can still see it through the make-up. I'm not sure what I need so im not sure what kind of doctor to look for . I'm not happy with my eyes :(

the hollow dark circles under your eyes can be improved by injecting a filler in the area called the tear trough. Restylane is injected to improve the contour by eliminating the depression.  Unfortunately the darker discoloration of the skin in this area is difficult to improve so coverup makeup is still usually used.  Most people find that the makeup looks better when applied to a smoother contour. Hope this is helpful and best of luck.

so you don't say how old you are but you do have a slightly sunken eye look and your upper lids do have an extra prominent fold. You may benefit from an upper lid blepharoplasty and some cheek/tear trough volumisation to take away the dark circles around your lower lids if you were in your 30s or 40s (or older).OF course if you are younger, these things are still possible but I would be less likely to recommend them to someone in their 20s. Hope that helpsAdam Goodwin
