I am a makeup artist and this is what i think:

Dark under eye circles can be caused by fatigue, poor circulation, extra-thin skin under the eyes, hyper-pigmentation, illness or allergies. Treating the cause will help keep dark circles from coming back. In the meantime, consider the following cover-up tactics:

Steps:

1. To hide dark under eye circles, select a cosmetic under-eye concealer that's one shade lighter than the foundation you're using.

2. Understand that a pale yellowish concealer helps hide blue or grayish circles, while a light blue or mauvish concealer masks brownish under-the-eye bags.

3. Begin with a freshly washed and exfoliated face. Dab concealer under your eyes gently, using a soft circular motion.

4. Apply foundation up to the concealer and blend the two shades together gently, using a circular motion to cover dark under eye circles.

5. Finish with a dusting of untinted face powder for a polished, seamless look.

Tips:

Avoid concealers containing oils, because the oil will settle into the fine lines under your eyes and draw attention to the circles.

When using a cosmetic under eye concealer, wearing foundation is a must to avoid the "white mask" look.

To apply concealer:

Steps:

1. Wash your hands before handling your face. Dirt and oils on your hands will only aggravate the blemish.

2. Choose a concealer appropriate to the color and type of blemish you wish to hide. Concealer is a creamier foundation makeup with added pigments intended for specific parts of your face.

3. Pick a yellow-tinted concealer to hide red blemishes; choose a concealer a little lighter than your blemish for hiding darker marks.

4. Choose a masking cosmetic (which is thicker than concealer and has added pigment) to hide more prominent blemishes, such as small scars left from pimples or skin irregularities.

5. Apply the concealer or masking cosmetic over the blemish using your finger, an eye shadow brush or sponge.

6. Blend the edges with the surrounding skin, using a circular motion.

7. Set the masking cosmetic with a special setting powder, then apply oil-free foundation and powder on top.

Tips:

Try a cover stick, which is a stick version of a concealer. These contain a high proportion of wax to add body and thickness.

Masking cosmetics are usually not available at drugstores or beauty aid stores but can be purchased at major department stores. They're expensive, but effective.

Hope that helps.

Hows your diet and are you getting enough sleep? Although let me tell you chick some of us are just prone to it i suffer from the same problem though i do notice bad diet seems to contribute. Sleep doesn't seem to matter with me for i get plenty of rest also before the bleed of each month i find i am darker around my eyes, my energy is also low which i also associate with the waning moon. I find cool slices of cucumber help though don't alleviate the problem. Good Luck.

You can use a cream. It's not make up. There are creams out there that you can put on before bed. Some you put on before you go to sleep and after you wake up. I'm sending you a link to a page that can tell you what cream(s) would be best for you to use. I hope this helps. I also hope you at least look at the page. If not, I'll understand.

is it hereditary?we can not get rid off it..a Little treatment would make it "better"

Just get enough of sleep, drinks 8 bottle of water daily, get away from smoke and be vegetarian.

mask your under eye area with slice of cucumber and used tea bags (green tea would be better).

use eye cream daily and massage your eye area gently every time you use it, 2 times a day.

make up would be your salvation LOL!

Start writing in a journal to get stuff of your chest, then you can get some good nights sleep. Eventually it will lighten the load if you keep it up and you will be glowing again. No more rings oter then if they are hopelessly genetic.
