    I'm not sure there is anything you can do except use make up. Your bilirubin is a little raised but the whites of your eyes are clear,so I dont think you have any liver problems. You could try taking milk thistle, but I really dont think it would alter much. This is probably down to genetics. Many would consider this slight shadowing to be quite an attractive feature to your face. You certainly look nothing like a crackhead.
