It could be eye strain.  Are you getting enough sleep?  If you are studying, or reading, or staring at a computer monitor or TV for long hours, your eyes can become strained and this is nature's way of telling you to give it a rest.  Try doing something else for a while, take a nap, massage your muscles very gently under your eye.  Get lots of rest.

Wow, this question gets asked a LOT on here!  Your eyebrows are there to prevent sweat from getting into your eyes.

What you are describing is called milia. A pluged pore that the skin has grown over it. Trapping it. A lot of women get this under the eye. Too much eye cream? Do you wear glasses? Sweat can cause them as well. I suggest you go to a licenced esthetician for a facial. Sometimes they are removeable. Change up the routine. Make sure you are getting your makeup off well.

Ethmoid sinuses just behind the bridge of the nose and between the eyes \n\nThe ethmoid sinuses are near the tear ducts in the corner of your eyes. Therefore, inflammation of these cavities often causes swelling of the eyelids and tissues around your eyes, and pain between your eyes. Ethmoid inflammation also can cause tenderness when you touch the sides of your nose, a loss of smell, and a stuffy nose.

First, try correcting naturally- get at least 7+ hours of sleep each night and up your water intake to at least 8+ glasses a day.\n\nApplying foundation makeup or concealers with a yellow base is the best way to conceal dark circles under the eyes\n\nI would also talk to a specialist at a profession cosmetic counter like Lancome or Estee Lauder, they will most likely be able to help find a solution for bags under the eyes. \n\nAlso, depending on your age and the amount of damage, there is always minor surgery to remove the extra damaged skin under the eyes- but I would not recommend this unless you are 40+ and the damage is significant. If not, try the OTC remedies, ample sleep and extra water.

Sleep deprivation means more eye activity. The extra activity causes two things. The strain and irritation cause the blood vessels in your eyes to dilate, trying to circulate more blood through to alleviate the irritation. This causes your eyes to become bloodshot.\n\nThe increased blood flow isn't isolated to your the surface of your eyes. Your eyelids also receive more blood flow, causing them to become puffy and swollen. The increased blood flow also causes a color change in the eyelids, making them appear darker, especially the bottom lids.

It's actually caused by tiny blood vessels.  The skin under the eye is so thin it shows through.  There are over the counter cosmetic creams that can get rid of under eye circles.  Some people say putting slices of cucumbers on your closed eyes for a few minutes works too.  I haven't ever tried that, though.  You can also try getting more sleep.

Dark circles under your eyes means that your liver is not functioning well.  Probably not poorly enough to alarm a medical doctor, but enough to make you feel bad and to alert you to get plenty of sleep and extra water.\n\nThe liver repairs at night between 1 and 3 a.m. if you've had enough water to drink during the day.  If you're dehydrated, you'll wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep during that time.\n\nFenugreek and Thyme are good for respiratory ailments.  Headaches can be caused by dehydration or toxicity.  Make sure you have plenty of fiber in your diet.  Zinc is good for congestion and stuffiness.  Try Throat Coat tea or Gypsy Cold Care tea from Traditional Medicinals.\n\nWarm honey and lemon are great, too.  2 T honey, 2 T fresh lemon juice added to about 6 oz. warm water.

This sounds just like something my boyfriend had 2 weeks ago. It was bothering him so bad, so he went to the eye doctor and they told him it was a swollen gland. They told him to keep plenty of heat on it. Hope i helped!

For tired or puffed eyes, place a cotton pad soaked in chilled rose water. Keeping thin slices of cucumber ready in the refrigerator beforehand is ideal. \n\nGrated cucumber, by itself or mixed with carrot juice, can be spread under the eye, to reduce black circles and sagging skin.

Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness, pimples, and red lines on the nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. A rash over the cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin often occurs. People sometimes call it "adult acne" because it can cause pimple-like outbreaks. Rosacea can also cause burning and soreness in the eyes and eyelids. The exact cause of rosacea is unknown. One theory is that some people have blood vessels that are easily irritated. Another possible cause is tiny mites that normally live on our skin. People with rosacea have more of these mites on their faces than those who don't have the disease. You may control rosacea with medication and by avoiding triggers that lead to flare-ups. Left untreated, rosacea can get worse. Large, disfiguring bumps on the nose and face and serious eye problems are signs of severe rosacea. Fair-skinned people between the ages of 30 and 60 are most likely to develop rosacea. Women are more likely to have rosacea, but men usually have more severe symptoms.

They're cause by a small infection in one of the spots where your eye lashes grow.  It's pretty common and there are really not many things that can help.  First things first.. DO NOT try to pop it or anything like that because the infection will spread.  Instead try getting a towel and soak it in warm to hot water.  Then just put it on the eye.  Hope that helps.

This exact thing happened to my son.  He has eye allergies, and that seems to make him more prone to infections.  He had healthy bacteria (that we all have) get up under his contacts and cause an infection.  I would see an opthomologist, as you will need a prescription for drops.  My son had to stop wearing his contacts for two weeks (one week to put in the drops, and one week to continue healing the eye).  This was after falling asleep in the contacts for 10 minutes in front of the TV on a few nights in a row (he had been real busy and tired that week, and I just let him do it, thinking how short a timeframe it was couldn't do any harm).  I would wake him, make him take out the contacts, and send him on to bed for the night (he normally takes his out daily).  However, it was just enough time for an infection to take hold.  Long story short, don't sleep in your contacts, even for a short period of time.  Don't swim in them, either, ever.  My son uses Elestat drops during change of seasons or any time his allergies act up, as well.  He also vigorously washes his eyelashes twice a day with a washcloth and baby shampoo.  It seems to help the buildup.  No-rub solutions are misleading, too.  You need to rub the contacts and rinse them daily to remove the protein.

tanning wont really help. i have the same type of problem and its because its hereditary PLUS i have sinus/allergy issues that contribute. cosmetic surgery is out there but not the best idea, in my opinion. cucumbers work a bit especially with any puffiness, as does sleeping well! if all else fails, yup, makeup is always a quick fix

Your eyes have been covered all night under your eyelids while asleep or you stayed up all night partying and studying.  If you are sleeping, then your eyes maybe allergic to something like pollen or pollution.  If you are staying up, your tear ducts are stopping and the eyes are not getting cleaned because of interruptions of your sleep patterns.  There are eye drops for dealing with allergies or dry eyes.  To be safe, consult a doctor.
