     Take iron supplements and drink lots of water. It is said that dark under eye circles can be caused by a lack of iron in the diet also known as anemia. It can also result from dehydration. Take a iron pill or vitamin daily and increase your water intake and notice the difference it has on your under eye area.

     Put a dab of Preparation H under eyes to reduce puffiness. Leave a thin layer on for 20 minutes. This is most effective when done before an important event, meeting or other function. The puffiness will return eventually but, with daily use, it will reduce the puffiness over time.

     Apply moisturizer under the eyes. Allow it to set for five minutes or so. Dab a thin layer of foundation under your eyes. Keep it very light so that it doesn't clump and get stuck in your eye creases. Lightly dust some concealing powder under your eyes. That's it! Just keep up the routine and your under eyes will become lighter and brighter.
