Dark circles. Why won't they go away?

I have pretty bad dark circles under my eyes. I get 7-8 hrs a sleep per night, and they aren't puffy. It looks like I have two black eyes! My makeup hardly conceals them. Why won't they go away? How can I make them go away?

I have them too, nothing covers mine. It's hereditary I think, I've found that using roller ball products (Like the garnier one) with caffeine help mine a fair amount though.

They are probably hereditary, like she says. I have them too. Try using a color corrector and a light reflecting concealer, keeping them both only on the dark shadows (like coloring inside the lines) then powder. If there's still a noticeable shadow add some more concealer and re powder :)

Get a peach colored concealer. Peach/red tones will cancel out the blue tone. You can find peach colored concealer in concealer pallets or sephora sells a concealer with a thing that you twist and it comes out and you just brush it on :) just ask a beauty consultant. Maybe try Ulta too?

Make up forever makes a good concealer that is meant for under eye use I believe. Try drinking more water maybe too. I find my dark circles lighten a bit if I stay more hydrated. Hope this helps! =]

They could be hereditary. I've had mine for as long as I can remember. It's about accepting them and not letting it keep you from experimenting with new makeup techniques and products to conceal them. Have you tried peach concealer?
