do you know of any ways to get rid of the bags under your eyes after a 2 day binge?

Since this was sent to me, I'll just assume we're talking about meth here. I'm not exactly the guy to ask, since in most cases looking like the walking dead doesn't bother me.
 
make-up, sleep, good meal, lots of vitamins, take a shower, staying healthy or rail some more.%)
 
There are also specialty products available on the internet that do wonders for bags under eyes (instant cures).

Usually it's some combination of vitamins and emu oil.
 
Would not recommend Preparation H. In my humble opinion it is just
a urban legend and the company themselves (makes of
Preparation H) says that it does not work for the eye circles.

If anybody here actually tried it, please post.

What else can you do to avoid appearing like a junky?

1) Buy a yellow concealer in any department store, and apply under the eyes. The yellow tone will hide the blue under the eyes pretty well. Dab it on gently with one finger instead of smudging and smearing it on. This will make it a lot less noticable.

2) Sleep on your back and with two pillows. This will help drain the fluids that are making the eyes puffy and dark.

3) Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods until the bags have gone away.

Hope this helps,

Sure it will, maybee if your face is pierced, you wear a spiked dog collar, consistantly wear death metal t-shirts and wear black combat boots. Or if you are a girl...
 
It also works if you are an executive on wall street, wear a white shirt and tie, and power suit. If you put just a little bit on, it goes a long way towards hiding your non-job related activities. And it won't be noticed unless somebody gets very very close to your face.

Don't believe me? Next time, get really close to a woman who looks like she is not wearing concealer under the eyes, and take a good look - you might be surprised.

Just get some sleep! If you're gonna be using meth, then you pay the price, there is no other solution than sleeping to not look like you have been up for a couple days with baggy eyes. Sure, you can use make-up and what not but you're probably going to end up looking more like a junkie cause it will actually be more noticable.
 
I've tried the preparation H treatment and it will reduce puffiness a little.

I've also tried "Sudden Change" which is a clear make-up that you put on your eye bags & as it dries it tightens up and makes the bags go away. It should be used with a some sort of make-up to cover the dark circles though. I've had some success with this, but it feels kinda weird.
 
Splash some water on a spoon and put it in the freezer for a few minutes.

Take the spoon, close your eye and press it (lightly) into your eye socket.

I've done it a few times and it seems to work better then nothing.

I saw it on a "Secrets of Miss America" show. Right after the "gluing your swimsuit to your ass" segment.
 
Alot of it is genetics.. If you had circles under your eyes before hand, there is not much you can do about it... If they appeared after drug use it means you are not getting enough sleep(coke/meth) or you are sleeping too much(weed/heroin).. The only way to remedy that would be to take less of the drug to fix your sleeping pattern(taking a counteractive drug like stims/day, downers at night kinda thing may get you sleep but wont take the circles out)..

Most of the time its genetics.. However, if you have the genetics(like me) and use drugs(like me) you really outta just embrace the druggy look.. Hollywood tells us its cool anyway these days.
 
Eyedea

Get some glasses that don't magnify (just glass).
Wear 'em, they take the focus off what's under your eyes
and if anyone asks, say you have to wear them for a couple of
days to re-correct your eye muscles, as they are out of sync.

People will buy it.
 
all these answers suck.
personally a pair of Arnette Swinger sunglasses with the blue lenses will do the trick. People can see your eyes still when your talking, and you can wear them at night or when it's overcast outside.
 
^^^^
i'm sorry, but the title of this thread does say: getting RID of bags under your eyes ..., so technically these answers do NOT suck, covering up is something else.;)
 
So suck away

You suck.
I mentioned glasses.
 
I have used D-STRESS from Biotherm Homme a lot of times and it is pretty good, but quite expensive though...

Good luck !
