When it comes to looking younger and more fresh-faced, nothing does the trick like bright eyes and a glowing complexion. And nothing comes in the way quite like puffy eye bags and dark shadows. Of course, good skincare and concealer can do a lot to help, but in recent years there are more and more eye masks on the market to tackle this problem area. I’m a huge fan of these mini sheet masks, which are the perfect on-the-go pick-me-up, especially if you travel as much as I do, and work long hours on set! So, I thought I’d bring you a little round-up of some of the best eye masks for banishing bags and dark circles so you can give them a go yourself…

Best Eye Masks for Bags & Dark Shadows

Sarah Chapman Platinum Stem Cell Eye Mask

I recently posted about this on my Instagram, it’s such an amazing boost for tired eyes. It’s a great design to target the whole eye area, from the brows and brow bone to the eyelids and crow’s feet zones and under the eyes. If you wake in the morning with puffy, tired eyes, this is a lifesaver.

This cult favourite eye gel mask hydrates, retextures, brighten and plumps the undereye area with retinol, vitamins and peptides to target fine lines and wrinkles.

MZ Skin Hydra-Bright Golden Eye Treatment Mask

Infused with nano gold particles to penetrate this delicate skin area, these gels are enriched with collagen, hyaluronic acid and seaweed, to instantly plump and restore moisture for brighter, more awake-looking eyes.

I love Alex Steinherr’s Primark collection, as far as high street beauty collections go, they don’t get better than this! This overnight eye mask is great for hydrating the delicate eye area.

The ultimate morning pick-me-up, these patches are like a cup of coffee for your eyes, in fact, the patches contain caffeine to stimulate microcirculation and de-puff tired eyes. Magic!
