Pregnancy mask

I'm 28 wks with my second and i have the worst "pregnancy mask" this time around. They say that girls steal your beauty but I'm having a boy this time so he better be super handsome because i don't have beauty right now. Any suggestions other than concealer on how to lighten the brown splotches? They're especially bad around my eyes

I bought a special under eye concealer for that. It's more yellow and then I put my regular concealed or CC cream on top, to cover the yellow. Hides the dark spots great!

I have the brown stache on my lip too. The sun definately made it worse. No more sun.  Foundation to cover it up if I feel i need to.

I never had it with my boys and now I'm almost 28 weeks with a girl this time and I have a 3 in circle in the middle of my forehead!! Couple spots under my eyes. I tried covering it with make up but it only lasts a few hours then you can see it again because I'm so fair skinned. Is it supposed to go away right after birth? I hope this isn't something that can stay:(

My eyes are really bad and my upper right forehead looks like i have a disease lol! I also have a solid brown line around my upper lip that almost makes me look like i have a moustache:(  i tried getting sun to maybe hide it under a tan but that made it soooo much worse!

Mines to I thought I was going crazy but now I see it's not just me. I am having a girl and I just look tired to me. My nose is getting bigger and my face, neck and chest is getting darker. When I look at my old pictures I get a little depressed I wonder if I will see that side of me again but anything for my little lady!

I as well have them under my eyes. And am having a boy as well. Lol I don't  wear much makeup anymore. Don't  have the energy or need too. But I do still use my under eye cream from ponds for the dark circles under my eyes. It works really well. But maybe because I dont get much sleep due to heartburn, back pain, and much more I can still see them.
