Unfortunately, you cannot fully get rid of under eye circles as the degree of their appearance can often times be hereditary. Remember that the dark coloring is caused by a combination swelling under the eyes and for lack of a better term, leaking capillaries.

Make sure you are getting an adequate amount of sleep every night. When you do not sleep enough, your body is under more stress which can in turn release hormones that stimulate swelling and contribute to your problem.

Your diet can also have alot to do with it. Try limiting your intake of sugar and caffeine and increasing your intake of iron.

It would benefit you to invest in an eye cream with Ester C and Vitamin K. Ester C (which can also be taken as a dietary supplement with the same benefits) stimulates collagen production which thickens the skin beneath your eyes making the dark color less visible. It will also diminish puffiness. Vitamin K strengthens the capillaries.

Correcting concealer is also a great way to hide them. Correcting concealer comes in a variety of colors depending upon which type of imperfection you are trying to hide. In your case, you will need yellow. Yellow will balance the blue tones of your circles. Once you have applied this, follow up with your regular cover up concealer that should be a shade or two lighten than your skin tone. You can often buy duos which are both corrective and cover up concealers packaged together. Make sure that you apply your concealer (in small dots that you will dab into your skin where you see darkness) after your foundation, that you dab instead of rub the concealer onto your skin and that you are not using your fingers. The oils and bacteria on your hands can cause breakouts on your face.

You could also use an eye brightening cream beneath your cover up concealer to hide under eye circles.

I personally use liquid makeup but what you will want to use is largely dependent upon your skin type. If you have oily, acne prone skin it would probably be best to use powder.

If you are able to use liquid, I would suggest topping off your foundation with a translucent powder to help it set and last longer. This will also reduce any oily effect that liquid makeup can sometimes produce. When applying your concealer, remember to apply it AFTER your foundation and BEFORE your finishing powder.

Hope this helps and good luck

Treatment for severe under eye circles is directed at the underlying cause, if known, and may include bleaching agents and laser therapy.

However, the best way to prevent dark circles under the eyes is to eat right, drink plenty of water and sleep well. Reduce stress and combat tiredness.

Various beauty products claim to have amazing remedial services on tired eyes. Over-the-counter cosmetics may help diminish dark circles under eyes. Try out skin creams that contain vitamin C or K, alpha hydroxy acid and kinetin.

However, you can cleverly camouflage the dark circles with a light-reflecting concealer - which helps because it contains titanium powder, which reflects light across the dark area. Choose a concealer that is a shade lighter than your foundation. In addition, if your circles are very dark, go 2 shades lighter.
Cosmetic surgery to remove dark circles under the eyes =
Some cosmetic techniques involve using lasers to stimulate the deep collagen layers in the skin, thus rejuvenating the skin's surface to remove dark circles.
Laser treatment can thicken the skin by increasing collagen production, so you are less likely to see vein around the eyes.

A procedure known as blepheroplasty actually removes skin under the eyes and draws the remaining skin taut to help get rid of bags. This expensive process requires recovery time and does have some risks involved. This technique, however does not addresses the cause of dark circles under the eyes.


Here is a home remedie but it might not have long lasting results like the one on top does

1) Mix a little almond powder with milk cream and massage the mixture around your eyes before going to bed. This is useful Home Remedy for Dark Circles under Eyes.

2) Slices of cucumber or potato can be used to reduce circles around the eyes. Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with a thin slice for up to twenty minutes. This soothes tired eyes and increases the circulation to the skin around the eyes.

3) One can also apply a little cucumber juice to the area. You could even grate the potato, wrap it in thin cloth and place it over the eyes. Make sure to wash the area thoroughly afterwards and apply a little cream or oil around the eyes to moisturize the area. This is another good Home Remedy for Dark Circles under Eyes

4) Detoxing the body helps in certain cases. This involves fasting for short periods of time, but continue to take in plenty of water. Cut out all the unhealthy foods that are a regular part of your diet. Give up alcohol, caffeine, sugary drinks, fatty and sugary food, smoking, etc.

5) Dab a little lemon or tomato juice in to the darkened areas two or three times a day. Be very careful not to let the juice in to your eyes. This is also useful Home Remedy for Dark Circles under Eyes.

6) Soak a couple of tea bags in clean, cold water for a few minutes, squeeze out the excess water and place them over your eyes. Keep them there for ten minutes or so.

7) Buy some Vitamin E supplements in capsule form. Carefully break open the capsule and squeeze the gel on to your finger. Gently and carefully, rub the gel around your eyes.

8) Squeeze the juice from a cucumber and cool it in the refrigerator for an hour or so. Add a little lemon juice and lanolin cream. Apply around the eyes for up to twenty minutes. Wash off carefully. This is useful to get rid of Dark Circles.

Good luck:)
