Shadows like those you mentioned are usually the result of wrong or inadequate lighting. If you ever see a professional photoshoot you'd notice they have a white screen infront of the model (next to the photographer) which has a very powerful lamp reflecting light on it. This prevents direct and very powerful light on the person in the picture (the lamps are very powerful and not nice to stare directly at) but provides a very good amount of light being directed directly on the subject (from the white boards) that prevent any shadows under the eyes. The best bet is to use powerful lighting (not a flash because they also cause red-eye as well as still causing shadows, just powerful lighting) to take pictures. I found using my parents lamp (a very powerful lamp used for making video movies which can be attacked to the larger cameras or tripods) to be very useful when I need to take clear and shadowless pictures.

its probably because of the shadow thats cast, your best bet is if you're taking pictures, and your'e inside, turn on all the lights you can get, open up teh windows etc, and turn off the flash. flash is horrible b/c of the shadows.
anyway, hope i helped
