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.

I recommend Arbonne's NutriMinC Re9 Anti-Aging corrective eye creme. Their products are pure, safe, beneficial, and made with exceptionally high EUROPEAN STANDARDS of quality. They are formulated with 9 key anti-aging elements (KOJIC ACID, NANOSPHERES, COPPER, VITAMIN C, ALPHA & BETA HYDROXY ACIDS, PEPTIDES, BIO-HYDRIA, ELHIBIN & STIMUTEX, and ALPHA LIPOIC ACID), giving you maximum benefit. Kojic acid is a natural lightening agent to help with dark circles and puffiness. They're also made with nanosphere technology that helps the products to adjust to your specific needs (applying more moisture in dry areas and less in oily areas). Research shows that 6 months continued use of Arbonne's Re9 system gives a 68% decrease in deep density lines and wrinkles. However, I started noticing results within a week or two. Be sure to use your ring finger when applying eye creme as they apply the least amount of pressure. I always recommend to start from the outer corner of your eye bone and dab inwards. This will keep from pulling and tugging at the sensitive skin around your eyes. If you're interested in learning more, I'll be happy to help you.

Believe it or not, putting cucumber slices on your eyes definately works to depuff them. Find a concealer that suits your skin tone. Apply with a smooth makeup brush to really conceal circles. Also, PONDS is a wonderful moisturizer that makes your skin look alive! And it's cheap!

try some concealer around the dark parts.
put spoons in the freezer the night before and in the morning put them on your eyes. it makes dark circles shrink.
also, curl your lashes to make them stand out instead of the circles!
