A little dab’ll do ya. But I’m sure there are virtually identical drugstore equivalents– I just don’t know what they are.

No. I mean maybe, if I didn’t wear glasses?

I do wear contact lenses, however, when I am attempting to look pretty, in which case breaking out the concealer is a must. We don’t want to talk about the dark circles under my eyes, as they fill me with shame. I have some yellow Maybelline concealer that I wouldn’t say I “swear by,” but it sufficiently covers the dark circles so that I don’t look like I have coke problem just this side of manageable.

I’m actually pretty tempted to try the YSL stuff, but I can’t. My heart won’t let me.

Hydroquinone won’t work on dark circles under the eyes- that’s just thin skin showing blood vessels underneath, while hq works on brown discolorations caused by the sun or hormones (melasma).
