The puffiness under your eyes or under-eye bags is not just an outcome of fatigue or lack of sleep. It may also be due to chronic allergies, which may also lead to the tell-tale dark purple hue. A matte concealer may help you to cover the under-eye dark circles. Be sure that you are picking concealer of the same tone as your foundation. It should not be lighter or shimmery, which will further focus attention on the puffiness.

Allergens like pollen also lead to the release of histamine, a chemic that contributes to runny nose and puffiness. Over-the-counter antihistamine can help lessen the irritation in a few weeks. See your doctor for the best treatment.
