I Have The Same Problem And I First Tried The Concealer/higlight From Covergirl... It Does Kind Of Work A Little

But The Best I Tried Is This New Under Eye Serum From Sephora... It Is A Little Pricey, But Definetly Worth It~!!!

Great And Easy To Use, Just Rub It Under Your Eyes Like Lotion

You may be using the wrong color concealer. Please read below...

Look at your parents/grandparents. If either one of them have dark circles under their eyes, chances are your "black bags" are hereditary in which case, there's not much you can do but use concealer. Since the color is really "blueish" you'd mix a small bit of salmon/peachy concealer with a little of your foundation and dot it under the eye area.

If neither parent has dark circles chances are you're needing more sleep. More sleep means getting to bed a little earler rather than sleeping later. Our bodies cell renewal works best at night than during the daytime. Drink plenty of water, use a sunscreen, and eat well. Those dark circles should go away. If not you can use a product like Factor-AŽ Eyes For Dark Circles by Jan Marini but make sure to LIGHTLY pat on instead of rub on.

Cucumbers, tea bags, potato slices, Preparation H and raw meat are excellent for swelling and puffiness but DO NOT WORK for DARK CIRCLES.

Eve Pearl makes the best under eye concealers for dark circles. It's really what she's known for as well as being a make-up artist to the stars (male and female).

Dark circles are really considered blue in color. To neutralize the blue you need orange or, a salmon/peachy color hence, her famous concealor. It IS a bit pricey $30 for the small palette however, it takes years to run out of this stuff. I've had mine for 3 years and have barely made a dent and I'm a professional make-up artist so I do faces all the time. Here's the link:

You can have dark circles under your eyes as a result of iron deficiency anemia. Has your physician ever indicated this condition for you?? If so, how ever way he is treating you should remedy the problem. Even so, try eating foods rich in iron if not contraindicated by your physician/medication: Clams, pork liver, oysters, chicken liver, beef liver, mussels, shrimp, sardines, turkey, beef, beens, blackstrap molasses, lentils, and others. Here's a more complete list with foods that enhance the absorption of iron:

Also, if you are overweight or have a round face with large "apples" on your cheeks, many times dark circles can be an illusion caused by the cheek and light casting a slight shadow.

Hope you found this helpful!

Good luck,
LR

Well maybe instead of hiding them you should try and prevent them. Have you been getting enough sleep? I have eye circles sometimes and its because I didn't get enough sleep the previous night. Try to go to bed earlier and maybe that will help over time.
