What are dark circles and why it occurs?

If you already do not know, the skin under your eyelids is referred to as ‘periorbital skin’. One of the most interesting facts regarding this part of your face is its thickness; 0.5 mm, which is way thinner than that of the skin covering the rest of the part of your body; which is 2mm thick on an average. As a result, sometimes the blood vessels beneath the periorbital skin appear clearly as compared to other body parts. The appearance of internal blood vessels through the periorbital skin tends to look darker, which is known as ‘dark circles’.

While for people with darker skin tones, veins would appear brownish, in case of fair skinned people, the same would appear to be dark red. In order to hide your dark circles, find makeup artist in Australia who can do the job for you.
