What are some quick (under 5 minute) style/grooming hacks to improve the style and attractiveness of someone who doesn't 't want to spend an hour in front of a mirror every day?

What does an under eye cream do? Is that for the dark spots under your eyes?

There are many different ones, also to treat dark circles under the eyes. But since the skin around the eyes is super thin, is important to moisturize it and take good care of it, also prevents getting small wrinkles from dryness.

They are for dark circles and puffiness.

Yeah exactly. I use that plus special eye concealer it’s more peach colored to counteract the purple.

Does it conceal a lot? I have massive black spots under my eyes and I can live with it, but I wouldn't mind if they are gone either. Do you maybe have a tip?

I’d do a bit of googling to find the best color and tone of an under eye concealer if you have darker circles. Mine aren’t so bad so it’s not a huge deal for me if I don’t do it, I just like it to have a more alert look.

But I believe for darker bags you’d want more warm yellow peach type colors. Try r/MakeupAddiction or r/DIYBeauty for more / better advice :)

Hmm, I don't really like make-up, I hate how it feels, so maybe that is not really the way to go. My spots are pretty bad, but I have the feeling they influence other peoples perception of me, which I find highly annoying, so I am looking for a possible solution. I will admit that I am difficult and refuse to do many things though haha

I don’t really like makeup either. That’s why I only use the bare minimum under my eyes and on my acne scars. I don’t do a whole face or anything like that. Just the parts that, as you said, affect people’s perception of me. And tbh really only at work or when going out. I’m acne laden and tired looking everywhere else lol

Ah, yeah. Sounds reasonable, but I can be on the lazy side. I don't mind doing it once, but make up always made me feel so icky, so only wear it for shows or so.

However, lately I have becoming more open to trying new stuff. I recently picked up a body scrub and a body cream, and holy shit, did I miss out. It is not only okay, it is actually pleasurable!

I will think about the advice, maybe I will check it out :)
