Help me! I an really pale and no matter how many hours I sleep, I always have really dark circles under my eyes. I've tried out a lot of concealers, the Urban Decay Naked concealer, Benefit's Boing, YSL Touche Eclat, nyx yellow hd concealer, but nothing works for me. Any tips or suggestions?

Do you use eye cream? try one for dark circles

From your picture, it just looks like your eyeshape that creates a shadow.
You could try using a concealer that's a few shades lighter.

It doesn't look like you have actually darkness of the skin but if you do, try eating more leafy greens, I've read that a deficiency in vitamin K can cause darkness under the eyes.

Also, try drinking more water and drinking less coffee and teas that do have caffeine because they can dehydrate you and cause darkness under the eyes and effects blood flow since it constricts blood vessels.

If you notice darkness of the skin under your eyes then try using a brightening eye cream that has licorice root or vitamin C.

If you see blood vessels that are causing an overall darker color under the eyes, it could be due to the thinner skin so you could try getting an eye cream with vitamin c, q10 or anything that can help improve the amount of collagen you have

I agree with Aurora, that it could possibly be your eye shape, but a good eye cream with vitamin c (to brighten) & caffeine (to reduce puffiness) could also help. Also, makeup tricks to darken just the PUFFY area (dark visually recedes the area) with either concealer or eye shadow and lighten just the area UNDER the puffy area with a salmon corrector and concealer a shade lighter. You can not apply the same shade concealer to the whole undereye area because you are not just dealing with darkness. You are dealing with an area that is physically RAISED. Two different tones will visually help the area look flush (one level) and thus minimize the darkness.

I already use a good eye cream but I normally have no puffiness. I have blue toned circles and I used a lot of peach concealers but nothing works.

WHERE you place it is just as important as what you're using. Are you applying the concealer all the way to the lashline?

Color correcting is a game changer. A light peach tone will work if you're fair-light skinned. If you are very fair then a light pink corrector.
