there's the old cucumber slices trick - or you can buy a gel mask for, like, $5 - you keep it in the fridge and then wear it for 15 minutes. the cool is supposed to reduce puffiness. not sure if it works, though. i've had dark circles all my life - no matter how much sleep i get, they're there. let me know if you find anything that works!

I wish I knew. I have looked like a racoon all of my life. My brother's kids have them too. Have you checked for anemia? That may account for being pale.
I had some white cover up that worked great. The skin tones don't seem to do anything for me, but the white with makeup over it helped. Can't seem to find it in my area anymore.

I have'em too!! A yellow concenlor works best to cover them up! I have very oily skin so I use a powder foundation instead of a cream base to give me some color!

You should try a highlighting stick instead of cover up, or on top of cover up. The highlight reflects any light that hits it and so it doesn't look dark under your eyes. Also a good eye gel to use at night. Make sure it's a gel not a creme, creme will add moisture to prevent dryness, gel will cool and prevent puffiness.

Let us know if you find something that works!

I have found the best stuff for dark circles. It's Physician Formula Under Eye Brightening Concealer in yellow.
You just pat some of the creme on the dark circles and then cover with regular foundation. This is the best one I've found that's not cakey.

You can get it at Target and Walgreens. I wouldn't go out without it.

Good luck

Aloette has a wonderful product called Advanced Eye Recovery Complex, and it has peptides in it. It's great on dark circles and lines around your eyes.
