Today's topic... Dark eye circles

Hello everyone..

Today in www.kellykonomi.com, i'll be taking about DARK EYE CIRCLES!!

YES

I got dark eye circles...

I think i'm born with dark eye circles..

hahaha. even my eyelid seems pigmented.

sometimes, teachers will ask if i'm wearing eyeshadow cause my eyelid pigmentation was that bad.

hahaha.

But it was never a big problem for me cause i can always cover them up with concealer..

if everything fails, there's photoshop (wahahaha)

Nevertheless, since everyone wants to be a natural beauty..

let's learn how to get rid of these nasty undereyes!

Do you know that there's 3 types of dark eye circles?
