I use CoverGirl concealer for under my eyes, and it helps a bit, but I wanna know if there is any other product that would help even more. The circles under my eyes are small and they're not that dark or anything, but I would like to cover it up, ya know! They're not horribly noticable.
Also, do you know of anything that could just completly get rid of this problem??? That would be great
BTW, I'm not sleep-deprived, and although I have some stress about law school, that is recent, and I have always had a bit of darkness under my eyes.
Any suggestions ladies???

I'm Iranian so i know how it is.
Lancome - Yellow concealer (make sure it's the yellow one).
It doesn't look yellow but it just works better than others.

I used to be a makeup artist for models and celebrities (translation: party goers!) and nothing in the drug store works for covering serious undereye circles. It doesn't have enough pigments.
I used a European brand (You can also purchase it in boutiques in New York City or online) called Face Stockholm. They make an oil free, heavily pigmented foundation called Picture Perfect Foundation. It's about $30 for a huge jar and it comes in about 20 different colors, not just "light, medium, dark" like cheap concealers do. Use it sparingly as a concealer and it's wonderful. Too heavy for all over coverage.
Just put on a tiny bit of an eye cream or gel and put a little of the foundation on a synthetic brush and blend under eyes. It's like magic!
At the moment, their website is being revamped so you'll have to email and ask for a mail order catalog or samples (I recently tried to reorder my foundation and was upset that I couldn't do it online). www.facestockholm.com

I use YSL touche eclat for darker skin. It not cheap though, its $36 but it works as you wont even notice that you're actually wearing a concealer. How this works is it reflects light... some people use it on their lips too to make them look plump and full...
Yves Saint Laurent Touché Ãclat Radiant Touch Highlighter
This chic pen concealer from YSL with its built-in tapered brush is unsurpassed for camouflaging blue, gray, brown and green casts to the skin. It's especially effective on hard-to-hide "hollow" areas such as under the eyes, at the sides of the nostrils and around the lips. That's because the pigments in this groundbreaking product highlight as well as conceal, which makes those areas appear fuller and more plumped up. You only need to use it sparingly, lightly swiping the brush against the skin, then blending in a sweeping motion.

Puffy dark circles run on my mom's side and I unfortunately have it and I'm only 24! After Thanksgiving I have been using Clinique's NEW All About Eyes Rich. I absolutely LOVE it and it is worth every penny. Every morning and every night I coat lightly so the cream can soak in. In the morning, I apply it RIGHT AWAY after washing my face before I start getting dressed and do my hair and makeup. It soaks in really fast but it leaves like a greasy look so I wipe it off before I head out the door. So, good luck!!

Under-eye circles i believe can be genetic as well..
Cover up is the obvious solution..and it does work very well.
Sometimes you can even use a neutral colored eyeshadow... make SURE it matches your skintone!!
They also have eye serums with specific vitamins etc to reduce under-eye circles or swolleness...I don't know how well they work, but there are many other products available... check out ulta.com I'm sure they have some there ^_^

Maybe if you laid off the alcohol a little it would help.
