Mine are not very dark, but I would like to improve them.

There are different ways you get dark circles under the eyes, sagging
and thinning skin being the most common. Many products promise
miracles but I think that they are a waste of a lot of money - at
least based on my experience. I have read that topical vitamin K can
build up the skin under the eyes and have tried that for a couple of
years, being careful to get a potent one and all that. But it made no
difference. (My grandmother had them too.) I think all one can do is
get a good concealer. I use an undereye moisturizer that puffs out the
area. I bought one from Kanabo, after a clerk put some under my eyes
and the fine lines disappeared for a while. (Later I found out that
the Bobby Brown eye cream did the same thing far less money.) The last
few days I've been patting some Laura Geller spackle on top and I
think it makes the concealer last quite a bit longer. (It's too soon
to be absolutely sure.) Then while the lines are smoothed, I put on my
concealer. I have many brands which I go back and forth between which
one I favor. Amazing is good, but you absolutely have to have the
lines smoothed out or it cakes in them. I prefer the creams and with
the Laura Geller spackle I think they will last a good long time. (My
major complaint with creamy ones is they don't last as long.) I pat a
tiny speck of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector on top to deflect from
the dark circles and lines. (It lasts over the spackle, so far and
it's great on the check bones and other places.)
Try that.

Thanks for the response. Concealing them hasn't really been a problem,
but I would like to not see them on days whe I don't feel like wearing
makeup.
