Dark Circles

Hi ladies, I will start by saying I am not a mum, but I figured mothers know best, so I'm here to ask for your help!

Here goes - I have awful Dark Under Eye Circles. They are very prominent, and due to me being pale, they make me look ill. Even make up doesn't cover them. I've searched hundreds of you tube videos to find suggestions and tutorials to help me but I can't seem to cover them. I use moisturiser and primer on a regular basis, I never drink caffeine, I drink tons of water and I have no skin damage due to the sun.
I have tried using the special colour corrector concealers, CC and BB cream with no luck.
Despite my age, I rarely drink alcohol and always get at least 8 hours sleep.

I know that there is no way I am going to be able to get rid of them - I have already tried all the remedies. I have lots of allergies: dust mites, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chillis, nuts - all nuts, nut oils and nut powders. I am also lactose intolerant, asthmatic, have eczema, hayfever and I'm hypoglycemic. I'm also undergoing blood tests for possible diabetes as I am showing all the symptoms of this and I have severe nerve damage in my shoulder. I have lost afew family members too, so I have had my fair share of stress attempting to live a life free of all the things above!

I understand that dark circles are brought on by allergies, hence why I am under no illusions that these will go away, but if anyone has or had the same as me please tell me how you cope with them. If anyone knows of any life changing foundations or concealers them please also share with me! They are so noticable and make me extremelt self concious, I even bought a pair of expensive glasses just to cover the circles a bit. I'm a 19 year old young adult, in desperate need of all your wonderful momma advise and suggestions!

Thanks in advance x

I find a creamy concealer is best for mine, Estée Lauder is my fav at the moment, but quite pricey.
