Maybe use cold spoons, so put them in the freezer over night and use them in the morning, also drink lots of water!!

Make sure you get plenty of sleep, sleep slight propped up, and drink plenty of water.

If your dark circles are genetic then there's not much you can do other than cover them with makeup.

If your circles are purple you need a yellow color corrector and if they're blue then you need a peach/salmon color corrector then follow with your skin tone concealer.

•Eat whole foods as much as possible. Coconut water and green tea are good natural diuretics.
•Potassium-rich foods such as bananas, strawberries and yogurt help keep the body from retaining water.
•get plenty of vitamin a, e, c and B6
•Keep yourself hydrated by drinking enough water
•Avoid foods and beverages that encourage water retention
•Maintain an iron rich diet and talk to your doctor about iron tablets
•do not go over 1,000 milligrams of sodium a day, or at least try not to
• place both of your index fingers on the sides of your outer nostrils and apply gentle pressure on the two areas for ten seconds. Repeat five times. Pressing your acupressure points will release toxins that turn into under eye bags.
•Going to bed on early, sleeping for seven to eight hours, keeping stress levels low and doing facial exercises that minimize under eye bags will tighten the eye ring muscles and improve circulation in the eye area, which can help lighten the appearance of dark circles.
•freeze 2 cucumber slices for half an hour. Lie down and place both on closed eyes for fifteen minutes.
•try sleeping with your head elevated with two pillows to improve circulation

As for coverage, simply using a lights concealer doesn't really work or look natural. Try a salmon coloured corrected (Benefits Erase Paste) below a concealer of your skin tone or a shade lighter (maybelline fit me) to brighten up your eyes! To conceal bags you're pretty much reverse contouring lol! You don't want to brighten any puffiness because it will only be more prominent. So instead you will want to put a concealer underneath your bags on the little shadows. You can also add a light dust of shimmer in that area too with a small fan brush!
