Allergic shiners: You may have nasal allergies which gives you a stuffy nose.Your blood tends to stagnate around your nose. Thebolood shimmering through your fine skin will give you the appearance of having lack eyes.

Allergy or skinq: Typical reasons for black "circles" under the eyes are allergy causing vasodilation of blood vessels under the skin or thin skin under the eyes that reveals the muscle and blood vessels more prominently. There is no "cure" for this but make up can cover this up.
