I have dark circles in my baby pictures! They do get worse with lack of sleep, sickness and allergies. Mine are so bad that I may go out of the house once a year without concealer (hospital stays don't count <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> )! Otherwise, I really do look like I'm feeling like crud, even when I'm not, and people I see regularly (like at the walmart checkout and the library -heh) ask me if I'm okay *sigh*. Having very pale skin <i>does not </i>help!
