I am 20 years old, and a female. When my face is resting, I have dark under eyes, and minor eye. I have a fair share of other flaws, but all in all, I can tolerate them (although my under eyes bags without makeup are still terrible so I’d like to find a procedure for this too). However, the moment I smile, my face is ruined by significant under eye bunching and folding. I notice that this bunching also occurs when I am talking/ making facial expressions (but it’s less significant).
