It happens to the best of us. At some point, we have puffy eyes. Whether it's due to allergies or crying or whatever. It's going to happen. Fortunately, if you make like a Boy Scout and BE PREPARED, you can take care of the problem.
First, everyone should own a bottle of Visine. They only have about a zillion different varieties. Dry eyes, red eyes, allergy eyes, etc. Find the one that's right for you and stick it in your medicine cabinet. This is your first line of defense. Immediately apply 2 drops to each eye. Keep your head tipped back until your eye is really saturated with the drops and you can tell it went down your tear duct.
Second, you need a cooling eye gel. Not a cream. Definitely a gel. Here are a few recommendations:

The best thing to do is to keep this in the refridgerator. Insta-cool!! Gently dab the gel all over your entire eye area. Undereye, eyelid, etc.
Finally, the coup de gras, everyone should also own one of these: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=169858&catid=9386
A gel eye mask works wonders for everything from puffy eyes to headaches. Get one and throw it in the fridge. It's ready when you need it. So, you've applied your Visine, your eye cream, and now slap on your mask and lay down for a good 10 minutes. Relax. Breathe. After 10 minutes, take a look at your eyes. If you need another 5 minutes, take them. After this, you should look and feel loads better.
