Flash photography in a dark room creates harsh, direct lighting that can exaggerate shadows and textures. Since dark circles are essentially shadows under your eyes (from hollows, pigmentation, or thin skin), the flash enhances them dramatically.

Here’s why it happens and a few quick tips to reduce the effect:

Why it happens:
Direct flash flattens features and casts shadows downward, deepening eye hollows.

  • Under-eye skin is thin, so any discoloration, veins, or puffiness shows more under bright light
  • Lack of ambient light means the flash becomes the only light source, creating extreme contrast.
Tips to reduce the look:

Use a ring light or diffused lighting instead of flash — it evens out shadows.

  1. Apply a light-reflecting concealer under your eyes before photos.
  2. Hold the camera slightly above eye level to reduce shadow cast under the eyes.
  3. Use portrait mode or night mode, which often softens harsh lighting effects.
  4. Edit photos gently afterward to reduce under-eye shadows if needed.
The best way to look the best on cam is to hold the phone 6 feet away at eye level slightly tilting it down in natrual , soft lighting.
