Answercathy;
if you have dark circles under your eyes,its a good bet that your father,mother and sibling have them as well.
the most common type of under-eye circles are usually an inherited trait like varicose veins and have nothing to do with underlying disease or how much sleep you get.
the skin under the eye is very thin. infair-skinned people,blood that passes through the large veins close to the surface shows through the skin,producing a bluish tint. the more transparent your skin,the darker the circles. in both fair and dark-skinned people,dark circles under the eyes can also be from a higher-than-normal amount of skin pigmentation in this area.
you can't totally eliminate dark circles any more than you can banish freckles. but here are a few ways to make them less noticeable.
-for women,color-correcting underbases worn under foundation makeup can improve unattractive skin tones. for bluish circles,apply a pale yellow underbase before applying your regular foundation. use a pale blue or mauve underbase for brown circles.
-dont bleach or peel-chemical skin lighteners or peels remove only the topmost layer of skin and are practically ineffective at permanently removing dark cercles.
-mix your own-commercial concealer makeups are fine,but stay away from too-light ones or you'll look like a raccoon
in reverse. you can custom-blend your own concealer by mixing a bit of moisturizer with a drop of foundation.
i hope this all helps;
