The main problem is though that the circles are kind of 'sunk' into my eyes, so when I cover them you can still see the lines.. in my FOTD's you can see it ;/ any advice?

As a fellow pale girl, I totally know where you're coming from. Regardless of my sleep schedule, I have thin pale skin so the blue veins beneath it are always visible and my deep set eyes just emphasis the problem.
I've always felt it to be one of my least attractive features and I havent found the best way to deal with it yet but my routine right now is doing a pretty good job of concealing. Here's what I do:
-After priming my face, I apply a very small amount of salmon concealor, patting it on. The one I'm using is from Lise Watier but I'll be picking up the MUFE concealor palette soon since this one's running out.
-I apply my foundation, focusing on any blemishes and my undereye circles.
-I do my eye make-up and brush away and fall-out.
-I use a thin layer of benefit erase paste which is super creamy and easy to pat on. I really press it into the skin which helps avoid creasing and I apply it slightly below where the bags end. Erase paste has a slightly pinkish tint to it, but this works beautifully to brighten the area and totally take away from the sunken appperance. Even if the color looks a little off to you, wait 'til you finish your whole face
-Apply transparent finishing powder lightly.
This is working really great for me right now but another thing that helps is to just really define the brows and cheekbones. Instead of applying blush to the apples of your cheek, use it as more of a contour or just apply some highlighter to the top of your cheekbones. I find that the more I define these two areas, the less I notice my undereye circles. I hope this helps and if anybody else has any other tips for sunken eyes, please share!!
