Apa Bahasa Inggris "Kantong Mata"?

Saya mencari di beberapa kamus, apa bahasa Inggris untuk "kantong mata"; itu tuh lipatan tebal di bawah mata yang muncul kalau kita kurang tidur atau kalau sudah dimakan usia.

Tidak ketemu.

Setelah baca sana-sini, akhirnya saya menyimpulkan sendiri:

kantong mata = dark circles (around the eyes).

"Dark circles" ini bisa juga diartikan "mata panda."

Kalau anda tahu kata/frase lain yang lebih tepat, tolong berbagi dengan saya.

  2. Dark circle is correct. Puffy eyes and dark circles are different terms.. puffy eyes would mean that your eyes got swollen after crying or waking up. Dark circle is dark area that appears when you do not have enough of sleep or from staring at the screen for too long. The cause for both of them can be anything.. and they can happen at the same time. but they are very different.
