Cucumbers reduce swelling, as they stay at a temperature lower than that of the room. Cucumbers will help treat bags under your eyes, but not dark circles. Unfortunately, I don't know of any non-makeup "cures" for dark circles.
I have thin skin under my eyes so you can see a bluish greenish tinge due to the blood vessels below. The only thing I've found that covers up that discoloration is MAC concealer. You can apply it with a make-up brush to give it a smooth finish and reduce the occurrence of finger prints. It works really well--much better than anything else I've tried.
MAC is great makeup, and if you just ask them to give you a makeover they can show you how to apply the concealer the best way.
I know I don't need to tell you to have a good night!

I'm not sure how to message you directly, so I'll answer your next question right here.
MAC makeup can be found at any Macy's or Nordstroms or you could buy online at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
But it would be best to go into the store so they can match your skin color. That particular concealer costs $15, and it's worth every penny!
MAC is my favorite makeup... make sure you go and ask for a complete makeover, because it's free and it's fun. The makeup artists there are trained well and can teach you some tips and tricks. Enjoy!

For me, the whole cucumber thing doesnt work for what you need. It really just relaxes you. There is this stuff from MaryKay, and its just a cream [[no coloring or anything so its not considered make up]]. Look it up online or check out their catologue. From what I've heard, it works amazingly.
I hope I helped

alright, i have the same problem with dark cirlces under my eyes depending on the amount of sleep i get or stress i get in a day or so. ive done the cucumber thing, and it does work. the cucumbers are soothing and relaxing and help to reduce under eye poofiness and redness, and apparently helps to keep the area a little moisturized. another thing i use..which i laughed at because it was one of my great grandmas "home remedy" things, would be milk of magnesia, which is made for an upset stomache, your supposed to drink it. but if you take a q-tip and put a little of it under your eyes where your bags are and let it dry, it helps a lot too. of corse it dries a bright white and youll look a little funny, so you can leave it on for 15 minutes or so before you wash it off, or just leave it on all night. other than that, you say you dont want to wear makeup, but if you were to get a concealer, youd only have to put it right there under your eyes (a light color) and you wouldnt be able to tell they were there at all. its no problem at all, theyll be gone in no time.

Cucumbers make puffiness and dark circles go away. Another good thing to do is to freeze two spoon then take them out when they are very cold and put them under your eyes. You could also just put eye brightener or concealer under your eyes.

People apply a cucumber slice to each eye because it has properties which mean they work as a good moisturiser and the fact they are so cold means they can reduce puffiness in eyes.
However, for reducing black circles under the eyes, the best thing is a good under eye cream that is made specifically for the job. Unfortuantely, I don't know the names of any of these creams. However, as I understand Oil of Olay, L'oreal and Clinique all manufacture such creams so if you go to your local cosmetics store, they should be able to get you what you need.
