Dark Circles around the eyes can be caused by several different things ie;
1.Sleep Loss
2.Anemia
3.Heredity
4.Allergy
5.Drug Use

But the Darkness and/or Duskiness around her mouth I would be more concerned with as this COULD point toward Heart-Related issues...Lack of oxygen in the blood will cause darkness around the mouth as well as excess fatigue,loss of memory,forgetfulness,weakness in arms and/or legs...shortness of breath,dizziness etc ...having her checked out by her Pediatrician is a must...I'm glad you have an appointment.

drugs. i'm on crack and i get them too. tellher to use thick foundation. it worksfor me!!

lack of sleep
drugs (hope not)
constant tiresness
not eating well

my sister has the dark circles problem with her eyes, im not sure about the lips.

But its actually blood collected there for her, almost like a permanent bruise.

Im not sure if this is the same thing, but it sounds similiar

I have dark circles under my eyes .The doctor told me that it's hereditary in most cases due to lack of iron deficiency. I take iron tablets and drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep. I have to use a coverstick to cover it up because mine are really dark. Nothing on the market actually gets rid of them totally but it helps.

I hope I have helped you out.
