I received a fantastic question from Meena. I thought I would also post the answer here since I have tried so many products to fix this problem:"I am an Asian indian, Nc42 , but have dark (plum color)eyelids. When I put [MAC] soft ochre, or painterly or bare canvas [paintpots] they look more greyish white on me. Do you have the same problem. Do you put a concealor on your eyes, or something, to even out dark eyelids skin tone and make it look nude vs plum.
Look forward to your advice.
Thanks
Meena"

Hi Meena,
Yes, I totally suffer from this problem. Not only dark eyelids, but darkness underneath the eye as well. In this post I will talk about some killer products for NC40-42 skintone to solve the dark eyelid problem.
Treatment: I am trying out the 100% Pure Caffeine Eye Cream, Organic Coffee Bean 1 oz (30 g)
to lighten the area around my eye. I will use it for 2-3 more weeks to let you know if it is working or not. 
If your lids are puffy like mine are most mornings, apply Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Puff Eye Roller .5 fl oz (15 ml)
Conceal:
Step 1. After moisturizing the area, I apply a thin layer of MAC Layin Low Paintpot, unfortunately it was limited edition. But keep an eye out, and definitely snag it if they re-release it. An alternative to this product is Ben Nye Blue Neutralizer - No. 2
Step 2. After applying a thin layer, you need to set it with powder immediately. The cheapest product is Ben Nye Visage Poudre Luxury Powder
in the shade Banana - it's a pale yellow powder.
Other two options are: MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Powder 0.35 oz OR Too Faced Primed and Poreless powder
After all of the above steps my eyelids are nice and concealed and match the rest of my face. Hope this helps.
