Okay. There's a few ways to approach this, but I've got a few questions for you.

Is it just darkness, or darkness and puffiness, or darkness and hollowness? If it's just darkness, that's something that can be covered with makeup without looking too makeup-y. Puffiness can sometimes be addressed with a dermatologist's help with botox and other injectables; similarly, hollows can be treated with fillers.

Have you seen a dermatologist about these specifically? I'm totally against unsupervised use of skin lightening creams, particularly in such a sensitive area, but under a dermatologist's supervision, these may be some help.

It's worth noting that the under-eye skin is the thinnest skin on your body (thinner even than your eyelids), so one needs to be very, very delicate with it.

For a makeup solution, I recommend Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles. You can get it at pretty much any drug or grocery store, and the puffball applicator makes it really easy to apply naturally, even for those with no makeup experience. It also contains caffeine, which will help tighten up the skin.

Creams that will help with dark circles over long term treatment include those with Vitamin K, which helps boost blood flow in the area. I like Korres Evening Primrose Eye Cream. Caffiene creams also help. For that I like 100% Pure Organic Coffee Bean Eye Cream. You definitely don't want to use cheap creams around your eyes. For one, if it gets in your eyes, it'll hurt like the dickens, and also because that skin is so sensitive, they can make problems worse.

You mentioned you have allergies - are you on any allergy medication? The other issue is that people with allergies tend to rub their eyes a lot. I did and didn't realize what an impact it was having on my dark circles. The way I stopped was by first making a mark in a notebook every time I touched my eyes. That made me cognizant of how much I was doing it, which made it easier to stop.

So, to sum up.

  1. See a dermatologist or a certified esthetician that you trust. Especially since you've got your wedding coming up (congratulations!) there may be a clinical intervention that will work quickly for you.

  2. Consider long term treatment with a Vitamin K cream, caffeine cream, or both. Also, find a night cream you like, and use it every night. I like Aveeno Smart Essentials Nighttime Moisture Infusion, but what works for you will depend on your skin type.

  3. Be cognizant of how you treat that skin. Touch it as little as possible, and if you have to, be very gentle. Anytime I'm putting on makeup there, or itching a spot, instead of rubbing, I tap with my ring finger. It's the weakest finger, and therefore has the most delicate touch. Be very, very gentle with your eye skin when you wash your face in the morning.

  4. When you wash your face, splash cold water on it once you're done. That will help close your pores and tighten your facial skin over all. Consider using a toner. I like Boots Botanics Organic Rosewater Toner.

  5. Find a moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF that works for you and apply it every morning. That thin skin is especially prone to darkening in the sun (a little melanin goes a long way in skin that's that thin) so it's very important to protect it from both UVA and UVB rays every day. Even when you're sitting inside and it's raining.

    Good luck! I'd love it if you reported back, let us know what's working and what's not so we can help you further.
