"Hi, I'm Kelly, an aesthetician and makeup artist at Ulta Salon Cosmetics, and I'm going to give you some tips on how you can get rid of dark circles under the eye. One of the easiest things that you can do is use a really great treatment for dark circles. This has a yellow tint to it. Yellow is a really great counter-active to blues and purples around the eye area, which typically is the color that you see with your dark circles, and that's just simply because the skin around the eyes is so thin and we have a lot of blood vessels really close to the surface. So what you can do is just take a little bit on your ring finger, pad it around the orbital bone and you're just going to massage in a circular motion, clockwise. This is a lymphatic drainage move. This helps to stimulate circulation around the eye, also to drain any congestion. Plus this treatment cream has some instant brightening effects to it. It has the instant yellow tint that's going to counteract darkness. Plus, over time it's going to help to thicken the skin around the iris and hydrate, and it's also going to help stimulate circulation. It has caffeine in it to stimulate circulation around the eye area to help counteract the dark circles. So those are some tips of how you can get rid of dark circles."
