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:
Instructions
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 & Warnings
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.
Never use an over-the-counter facial and body cream bleach under the eyes to eliminate dark circles. Use only prescription creams administered under a doctor's supervision.
Always apply concealer gently--rubbing can cause swelling, redness or bruising of the under eye area

I dont think home remedies will help. I use to have dare eye circles and it wasnt b/c of lack of sleep. My doctor told me it was b/c i had allergies, so they appear darker. Used the cucumbers and vit E oil doesnt work. I would say just use concealer that helps, but sometimes u will be sick of that. Now, im using Peter THomas Roth Botanical skin brightener for my dark circles and that helps, its only been a week and big improvements. Its very costly though, but its at sephora!

Try a yellowish color base. Don't use your skin color base, it will make your eyebags darker. Also, white eyeliner and eyeshadow really make eyes stand out and will distract from your darker eyebags.
