Yes—your lighting likely exaggerated it. Light coming from high above, especially bounced off a ceiling, can deepen shadows under the brow and eyes and create a more tired look.

What helps:

• lower or soften the key light so it’s less top-down
• add fill light near the camera axis to open shadows
• use a reflector low in front of the subject (around chest/neck level) to bounce light back up into the eyes
• a beauty dish or other soft frontal light can be flattering for this

In general, high-angle light is less “safe” for portraits unless you want a dramatic effect.

Other options:

• makeup is a very common solution for under-eye darkness or puffiness
• gentle retouching in post can reduce the dark area if needed

So the main fix is not just the subject’s tiredness—it’s controlling the direction of light and adding fill so the under-eye area doesn’t fall into shadow.
