Count me among the dark-bags people. *sigh*
I use Almay concealer with Kinetin. You want to use the creamy moisturizing stuff like Sultana said - and this works well for that. Supposedly the Kinetin also helps with the darkness. I also use Dermalogica's Extra Firming Booster under my eyes - it reduces the puffiness _noticeably_. Just gently dab a little under your eyes (I also put a little above, in the inner crease area), and let it soak in before using a concealer.
Brushes are great if you know how to use them, but it's easy to accidentally irritate that sensitive skin instead. I find the most natural finish is from my fingertips - gently tapping the color to blend, never rubbing. Use a little at a time, and layer it to your preferred level. Also remember - slightly darker circles are generally more attractive than cakey eye makeup. Don't go too heavy or too light a color. Experiment and be forgiving - it always looks worse to us.
