You literally just saved me so much frustration! I just bought new concealer for work and it has plenty of good reviews (elf camo 16hr).. but it was the patchiest mess ever! I watched your video and washed it all off, applied a tiny bit of my favorite eye cream and tapped it in, a super lightweight moisturizer on top, and then let it all sit for 20 mins. A very small amount of concealer and lightly tapping it out with my appropriately sized sponge instead of the giant beauty blender and... it's actually flawless . I could cry. Thank you so, SO much for this video!!!
@@parisinthe30sx I recommend you to try " The Ordinarys Coffein" serum (it's taking away all the dark circles & puffines) . And a good eyecream, "Vichy slow age". It is a wonder🧚🏼♀Next month im 38 & i love to see that so many grown girls are taking care of their skin & makeup💜 I wish you a beautiful week & a good health. Best wishes from Elisabeth,Norway ⛷️
Honestly this is one of the best "beauty guru" videos I have watched. Watching all these videos where famous gurus teach different techniques has made it very difficult for me to apply concealer correctly. I thought my under eyes were very dry so I was layering up moisturizer and primer and it was just getting cakier and cakier and I looked 55 years old despite being 29.... this changed my perspective, I quit applying moisturizer before applying makeup and only apply my hydro boost eye gel at night. And I use way way way less product and use my ring finger to blend it well. Life changing, thank you for this video
Kelsey Moncada , sounds exactly like me. I added tons & tons of under eye hydrating products. I have a Smashbox product that’s JUST an under eye hydrating cream. So, I’m going to try all her tips in this video tomorrow & I’m excited to see what happens.
I love watching your videos. Not only do you give choices, high-end to drugstore, on products to use but you explain why the placement, technique, tools & amounts are important. You are a great instructor! Thank you from a 69 yr old who doesn’t want to look like a painted clown! 😊
Thanks so much for the detail of this video... at 54 and on the other side of menopause, my under eyes are extremely dry and I have very dark circles... it’s very useful to learn of the various products and which ones work better for specific problems.... thanks again!
This is the best video I have ever seen when it comes to under eye issues. This has been my trouble spot for several years. I have dryness due to aging, and even the highly rated concealers have caked up and creased. But, with your expertise, you have demonstrated how to moisturize, use corrector, concealer (and powder, if used). It has made a difference, and I really appreciate it. Plus, your beauty inside and out is admirable. Thank you for all you do to enhance our lives.
Can’t believe I’m 62 and just learned you could use more than one under eye concealer. I have very dark circles and was trying so many individual brands but never thought to combine them. Thank you for that wonderful tip!💖
I have tried so many different ways to keep my concealer from creasing but nothing seemed to work. I tried your various methods as well as others, but no luck. Finally I got it figured out. I mix a little naked skin on the back of my hand with the age rewind and just a tiny dab of coconut oil. I dab it on gently with my finger and it works like a charm! I don't use any powder because that does make it crease on me. Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. I appreciate that you always keep it real!
This is the BEST video I have ever watched on concealers!! Yes, more please. It really helped that you were close to the camera and I could truly see the way you were applying things. Love watching you!
I needed this tutorial and can't wait to try your brilliant tips! I usually leave my under eye bare because concealer tends to accentuate my lines. This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much! I am very grateful for your knowledge!
For anyone wanting an affordable color corrector for your under eyes-Ulta Color Correcting Liquid Concealer in Peach is really great! Very similar to Urban Decay Naked Skin Corrector for less than half the price! 😊
I agree. The Ulta corrector is nice as is the Urban Decay Naked Skin one. I have both and like both. I use the pink corrector(Ulta and Urban Decay both have the pink corrector) for under my eyes(before concealer) rather than the peach one as I have fair skin and feel the pink one does a better job if you have very fair skin with pink undertones. The Ulta one is more matte than the UD corrector. The only negative about the Ulta corrector is that it dries out quickly whereas the UD corrector does not.
@@jjohnson1859 i can still see the dark circles when i do that. I even tried orange but it's too hard to cover and over all looks ends up being too thick for my taste and age.
@Centre Random do the color corrector before foundation and then use the concealer on top of the foundation. Also, try and use a thicker, either concealer, color corrector, and/or even a eye color primer. Example: MAC paint pots in the color you need then apply your foundation and concealer. That will help cover the dark circles
Thank you, Professor Leary!!! You are consistent in your teaching methods and your verbiage: "prep the area," "thin layers," "tap it out to a second skin," I find myself thinking these very words in my make-up routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this post. I’m not very accomplished when it comes to make up and despite watching lots of videos on technique nothing has ever solved the problems I have with under eye concealer. No one that is expect you! Thank you so so much!! I have finally been able to apply and wear my concealer and it not changing as the day goes along. I have oily under eyes and the lightweight moisturiser, appropriate primer, layering techniques and the nighttime under eye moisturiser have all been a game changer for me. Thank you!
Great video! I completely agreed that taking care of undereye AT NIGHT is super important. I'm 57, and I've found that a really good routine with moisturizing helps you avoid having to do (too much) concealing in the AM. Happy New Year everyone!
Omg thank you. I’m 30 and have oily skin but my under eye in pretty normal- dry. I’ve been using very rich concealers and it just creases so bad. I’m going to try these tips and see how it works. Your makeup is so beautiful. I look forward to watching your other videos because your makeup is exactly what I’m look for.
Elle, your videos always make me want to run upstairs and try what you have shown! Even when I am in my flannels doing the dishes with nowhere to go! I am definately going to try a lighter hand with my under eye cream pre makeup!
One of the best 101 tutorials I have seen. You belong to the school of her greatness... Lisa Eldridge. Would you consider when you update this in future (as there is always new products) to demo on a model with wrinkles? That would just be Aplus+++ Regards Tassie Joy
She always calls Nyx N.Y.X. Great video, Elle! Everyone has been asking to address the under eyes, both application wise and with product recommendations that work better under eyes with fine lines, dryness, darkness, etc.
Elle, this is a "much needed " video! I'm 56 and have to be careful not to put too much concealer, but it always gets crapey. I have dry skin. (Always have) I appreciate your wisdom! Tomorrow I will try to do what you did. Love you Elle💃❤❤❤
Wow! So much wonderful information. Thank you so much! I am 60, and have pretty good skin, but always look for ways to NOT make my very fine lines more pronounced. They are just starting to show, so I really appreciated your detailed explanations and instructions. I'm going to save this video to my favourites, but first I'll watch it another 2 or 3 times! New subscriber from Canada!
Love the way you use the layers and how even it looks. The only thing is the color under your eyes is reading a bit grey ish. I have olive skin and often that can happen to my skin tone under the eyes. It’s a subtle greying but rather than brighten, it well, greys it! It’s also that the camera is showing it. But the technique is brilliant and you have gorgeous skin.
Thank u so much for this tip, I can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning!! I just turned 34 & my under eye is in the dry side...it’s such a challenge. Thank u Elle!!
Janett Ramirez , I always thought my skin was oily so I used anti-oily products... turns out I’m mainly dry. She’s right, the MAIN thing to know is your skin type! But no matter what I do (moisturize or not) my under eyes look SO dry. I think it’s bc I use too much setting powder... but if I don’t use any it creases like crazy! Ugh! Just so frustrating!
Fantastic tips 👍🏼 I just found my holy grail routine for my under eyes. I’ve been having problems for many years with creasing and creepy looking under eyes 👀. And I’ve tried everything I could come across 😆. What really works best for me right now is eye cream let it set. Then my holy grail is to tap on a little bit of Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream Eye Roll-On let it set. And then tap over a little bit concealer like Tarte maracuja concealer. I don’t set it with powder. And it looks beautiful all day 🤩😘
Couldn't agree more!!! But nowadays people are all into stupidity... they are rude, mean, hurtful, with totally twisted perception of life and others. So Elle is like a breath of fresh air!
I have purchased SOOO many products and need these videos! Think I should have watched more of your instructional videos FIRST! Appreciate this help so very much! Thank you!
Thanks, Elle for a great tutorial. I do have trouble with my under eye area with cakey looking areas and with allergies/watery eyes removing my under eye concealer. And yes I do love these instructional videos.
Thank you!! Wow so glad you did this for us. I've been trying every way possible to make the under eye area not look worse! Much needed video. Being almost 60 it is very discouraging when everything else looks good and then you put concealer on and its terrible! Trying to find way to make it work.
I am having the same problem. I am 60, I have tried everything and watched all kinds of videos and I have yet to find a solution. I just dont wear any because it always looks worse.
Jackie Davis I usually don’t use concealer for the same reason. But, I am experimenting because sometimes I just need it. I just received my Bobbi Brown concealer and I am going to try it. It looked great when I had it put on in Macys.
Jackie Davis Two days in a row and it seemed to look good. It lasted all day and looked just about as good as it did 10 hours earlier when I put it on. I also used the Laura Mercier eye brightening setting powder and really brushed it in as I saw a you tuber do. Fingers crossed.
This is a great video! I'm 32 and have lines around my eyes naturally not fine lines exactly but eye creases I guess and it's hard to not make it look worse when I put concealer on I'm going to give these tips a go and see if it makes my lines look not so accentuated.
I've always had noticable dark circles under my eyes. No matter what I did, they were still apparent. Hell, I even had my makeup done at a CHANEL counter & even she wasn't able to conceal them. Tbh tho, my makeup looked awful when she did it so not surprised. Lol. Lately tho, I've gotten reenergized for makeup and have been watching lots of videos again. Came across your channel & have already picked up some great tips. (Even my husband is impressed by you!) Lol. I found your tutorials to be so helpful, especially concerning applying concealer. I'm happy to report that my undereyes have been looking better than ever!! ♥️♥️♥️ Tyvm..
I'm in my 63rd year, I went to have a look at my cosmetics and skin care, I could have nocked down with a feather everything was over 10years old so I have started journey, now everything is new and new ways of doing things Elle Leary is my God I can't watch enough tutorials thankful elle
This is such a helpful video! I have dark circles under my eyes and I'm usually able to cover them up, but the concealer is always cakey and dry. Thank you so much! This is very helpful.
Omg, I just followed her steps and it made a HUGE difference!! I’m so relieved. I was putting on way too much corrector and concealer. Thank you so much!!
Thank You so much for this video!!! I struggle so much with concealer application. Everything you said makes sense! I am 42 with dark circles and tiny fine under eye lines, nothing crazy (I try to take good care of my skin) but every time I try to put concealer, my under eyes look older. I believe I was putting too much moisturizer to prep, since (I have normal/dry skin I thought that was the right move) so it sets in the lines and makes me look like the grave keeper Hahaha. I just bought a color corrector but didn’t really know how to properly use it. I really appreciate your advice!
We got this Kari! Haha I did better this morning applying the concealer, but need a lot of practice. I ordered some of those under eyes patches and we will see how they work and if they help.
For anyone with super dry skin around the eye area, under eye and lid all the way to the brow bone, try this. At night after you completed your entire skin care routine, mix a dab of auquaphor and 3 drops of jojoba oil on the back of your hand. Apply it to the entire eye area and let it sit over night. Do this every single night, even after all the dry patches have disappeared. I use to have extremely dry patches all around my eye area and super wrinkly eye lids and after about 3 days of using this techniques the patches and wrinkles have disappeared. My undereye area isn't even puffy when I first wake up in the morning.
I just recently started doing the same but with sweet almond oil and I'll never buy eye cream again. Didn't even realize how puffy my eyes were until I started doing this. I now use it in the am as well without the aquaphor. Just want to add..I have extremely oily skin and HAD very dry and creppy undereyes.
@Jo's Glam Chat Do you have any tips for reversing and preventing deep wrinkles at night while sleeping on the neck and collarbone area? This just started happening to me about a year ago. I moisturize with my beauty cream and wrinkle cream, but it doesn't appear to be helping.
Forgot to say you are so beautiful, with no makeup on at all! Really all you needed was the colour corrector, and spot of concealer, and you looked perfect! You look like you have natural eyeshadow on, and your checks were pink and flushed just a tiny bit. Even your lips are loaded with colour! Beautiful!
Elle!!! This was SO extremely helpful!!! I have horrible deep bags so I tend to apply more concealer to accommodate for the “dips” and it always creases in my lines. I am excited to experiment! I need to go get a corrector right now! Thank you! 😘
Just found you ....WOW!!!! you are amazing and truthful and real!!! Good to know that you are a professional and not just a wanna be ...... THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!GOD BLESS!
Thank you so much for the very useful tips. I've got it all, dryness, discoloration, wrinkles and bags - unfortunately. I think I'll try botox too. I've been putting on a heavy cream thinking that will be best for the dryness then putting on concealer, which of course doesn't work. And also blending it out ever so lightly will help.
I am so excited for this video! So many times you will see “you-tubers “ applying all these products that just ‘cake-up’. Thank you for explaining it all, I have been doing most all that you have shown however I am 47 yrs old & did not take the best care of my skin in younger yrs. I so appreciate all & the explanation you gave!
...I have been using ' Eye Patches' since.....1999.....the choice of those were limited at the time, and I have to say that " Andrea " made some of the BEST ones, even with all brands I have used. ....I would put these on whilst I did my eye makeup,and then do the remainder of my makeup.... I am in my mid - sixties now and I appreciate all these great tips and sharing all of this, one of the best I have seen. ..Thank you !!!
Whew! What a relief to find you! I am a special occasions only make up wearer. Recently, I began attending church, and wanted to look my best. After globbing it on, I caught my reflection in the bathroom mirror....YIKES! It was just awful. I truly appreciate your advice. Thank you!!
Thank you so so so much! Tried it out today and for the first time in a very very long time didn’t have any creasing , and this topic has been a big struggle of mine for quite a while after hitting 40! Love ur videos & ur way of explaining everything, very informative, helpful and coming from you with love and sincerity!! Thanx again all the way from Amman , Jordan
As always great teaching!! Thank you, Elle ❤️ As for me & concealer, I am stumped due to the under eye puffiness (baggage) so I tend to run away from concealers because it emphasizes them so I just use my foundation instead. It’s due partly to allergies of course and hereditary. Would love to be able to have the brightness, flawless skin such as yours, absolutely stunning!! I’ve tried the “instant” , temporary fixes such as PTR specifically for that. While it does work/tighten like a miracle looking 10 years younger 🙌🏻 the downside is if ANY moisturizer underneath, concealer, foundation on top, if anything touches it, it totally removes the product (and there’s the case of the chalky residue too) Boom! the bags are back :( No matter how I apply it and not using an exceeding amount either. It’s such a very uncomfortable challenge! Doesn’t do a whole lot for the self esteem For Sure!!
Omg Elle ty so much for this video!! I'm 42 & I totally have this problem n I've literally tried I thought everything!! Love your channel!! Xoxo🙌🏼❤️💋💄✌🏼️
This video was so on point ! I have oily /combo skin with under eyes of a 40+ yr old ( sigh - hard) yet I already do a lot of tricks you’ve said. You Added Even more technics for me though. I truly thank you so much ah-ha moments indeed. Yeh !! 💞👀
I am a new subscriber as of yesterday, and this is the kind of video/tutorial that I like and need. I have recently unsubscribed to many that just didn’t offer the help and recommendations that I need. The one’s that were just full of fluff and by the end of the videos, I would realize that I would have to spend a fortune and over an hour to get the look that they demonstrated. The videos that I have watched of yours are to the point and just what I am looking for. Thank you.
Super helpful!! Thank you!! I’m 50 with hereditary dark purple in hollow and under my eyes. I have been just caking on Becca color corrector, Shape Tape concealer and Clinique powder!! So frustrated that ALL of this stuff... but I still see the purple!! I think these tips will be game changing!! 👍🏻😃❤️
I absolutely love your videos! I’m getting married in June and want to do my own makeup. I’m practicing and learning so much! It’s also so helpful that you recommend products. It’s pretty overwhelming to know which brand will work and the differences. I love that Sephora gives samples to try products w/o investing tons of $ upfront 👍 I love how natural your makeup looks! I like mine to look very natural as well, so you’re look is inspirational for me :)
Thank you! Under eye is my worst area. BTW, I love the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder! I got it after seeing it in one of your videos and it is absolutely beautiful! It adds just the right amount of glow to give a dewy, youthful look.
Great tips and tricks for the under eye. It seems to be a problem for a lot of people, me included. You always provide us with such informative videos that really help us with our skincare and makeup. ❤️
I watched YR touch up on the go video & did the trick with the moisturizer & tap a lil bit more concealer on 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 perfection ! WORKED like a charm thank you thank you thank you !!!!!!
I've watched sooooooo many videos on under eyes and I still can't get it right : ( This is a great instructional video, so I'm going to try out your technique. Thanks for all the great tips.
Good job, Elle--and I appreciated that you sat closer to the camera, as I'd suggested earlier. Made a big difference in viewing your techniques, plus there was a better sense of intimacy and familiarity having you closer to the camera.
I have under eyes like the Sahara, and this video is Gold! The only thing that has worked for me without aging me by 10+ years is the becca color corrector and the julep concealer done with your method. I've been curious about the stretch concealer.....I'll have to try it now! I never use powder under my eyes.....I set them with a beauty sponge sprayed with setting spray. Thanks for all your tips :)
I really appreciate that you read all the comments left below and you either reply or mark with a heart all comments read. Most of the RU-vidrs are interested on getting more subscribers and ask for thumbs up, but they don’t even bother to read or to reply from time to time to the people. You have a BIG LIKE 👍 from me, and dislike or unsubscribe for those who are not interested of their subscribers.
Omg. Your the best. I have absolutely learned why my under eye was creasing. I am 78 and very little wrinkles around my eyes. I raise my eyes and up and hold for a few seconds and repeat. I do this a lot and stay out of the sun and use sunglasses. I use eye creams at night So far doing good. I learned I am applying to much. Heavy hand as they used to say. My I cream maybe be to thick for day time. Clinique eye cream there new one. Could you recommend a lighter eye cream. . My wrinkles are at my chin. Going south. I will see if you have a tutorial on that. Thank you explaining so clearly. Judy
I totally agree with the glossier stretch concealer 2 years later! It is fantastic for my under eye! I am nearly 40, fine lines etc and my over all skin type is oily but every concealer I've ever touched under my eye has stuck to dry patches i didn't know i had regardless how moisturized (my preferred eye cream is tatcha silk peony). Glossier is perfect for me!
Great how-to. Thank you Elle. I have very dark circles and hollows with mature, dry undereyes. I have never used undereye pads but will def try them out. I just purchased the Glossier Stretch Undereye and like it but def have to use a second layer of either Nars or my Milani which is great too. I have the CT undereye you demonstrated but mine comes out in globs every time I twist it. I wish they'd change the packaging bc as is it is really messy. I waste so much product trying to keep it neat and clean. Thanks again for such a thorough demo. You look great. I'm not a beginner by any stretch but your tips are excellent for anyone struggling to make their undereyes look natural.
You are hella detailed and very knowledgeable. I love it! I’ve been having this creasing/dryness/cakey issue for a while. Been experimenting with different methods, so I’m excited to try your tips. Subscribed 😊
This is the first video I watched of yours, but you are so incredibly informative! I am only 25 but I really struggle with dry skin, especially under eyes, and fine lines/bags under my eyes. Thank you so much for all the information, explanations, and recommendations!!
I have watched sever a l of your tips this year. Just found you in last couple months to be honest. You do so much better than almost all out there, bc you show and explain. We love to see that. Blessings , love from me to you from Tx. 😘🙋🙏
I'm going to try this ASAP. My skin is very very dry and I've been using the buffet serum from the ordinary and Neutrogena hydro boost, but no matter what I do concealer always looks flakey and dry, and my dark circles show up. Im really pale so my skin is almost see through,veins and everything lol I also have the opposite of bags, my under eyes are sunken in 😑
Yay! Just what I needed to hear! Thank you soooo much for creating this video and sharing your tips. I’ve been layering my under eye area wrong and using the wrong products as well. I’m excited to try your tips! Xoxo!
Nice video. I am 65 and have a lot of under-eye and skin issues. The hardest part is analyzing your specific needs or finding someone knowledgeable to help you figure out what you need. I just know I look tired and terrible. Many trips to makeup counters, Ulta etc have been very expensive and not been helpful - They don’t seem to know what they are doing and practice one size fits all. Any suggestions for places to get better help?
hello♥️. New to ur channel & Absolutely love your videos. Im a bit older 53 & am going thru Menopause.....yuk lol. anyhow....if I do say so myself I've always had beautiful skin my entire life but now its changing & getting fine lines & large pores....which r a pain! I had to recently quit using powder all together under my eyes especially! I'm learning alot from ur videos. Thank u sooo much for all you do in thoroughly explaining how to apply different products for different prob areas💛 Your the best, can't wait to see more of your Expertise! Its hard being a Woman Sometimes, especially when your over 40. love & good energy xoxo
Really like this, would you do a video showing us how to apply the whole set of night pads please. Not sure what to use under them or not etc.🤷🏼♀️ Thank you Elle 💜💜💜
I JUST started using the eye patches and they seem to help alittle with the puffiness in the morning. But I find that using them during the night causes lines from them drying out. Idk. I put mine in the fridge and the cooling effect is very refreshing.
I didn't know that the Laura Mercier Flawless concealer was aimed at oily to combination skin! I've got it and now I understand why it's not my favourite. Knocking it out of the park Elle, brilliant vid, 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
Everything you do is pure magic! I'm always in such awe when I watch your videos! I always have to rewatch them a few times bc I get lost in your magical wisdom! I love you Elle!
You are so right about hydrating concealers!! I got the It Cosmetics concealer & absolutely loved it! But, my waterproof mascara smudged when I used it! I was so disappointed because I really loved the way it looked!
The dabbing technique you showed of the concealer. Just wow. Thank you so much. It worked great on my under eyes. Iv been putting so much concealer there in big v-shaped everyone's been doing and yeah. This worked the best. Great video 😊👌😘
Tracey leigh , yeah I can’t do that giant V-shape. I just put about 2-4 dots and blend it in. It’s true, LESS is more. I just can’t talk myself into not using as much. I dunno why!
Oh my gosh thank you so much. My makeup is flaw everywhere else but my under eye. Concealer just doesn’t set. And today I tried very tiny bit of primer and your blending tips. So much better. Luv yah!!!!! Thnx 😘
I find choosing colors tough especially you can't really tell till you have it on-I have so many! I do like Mary Kay under eye corrector perfect light peach
I'm 29 and recently started noticing vascularity around my eye area... I tried concealer for the first time today, the shape tape. And it pilled after my sunscreen and looked absolutely awful. I'm hoping this video saves me! haha. I'm going to try taking better care of my eyes at night (first eye cream is in the mail as we speak!). And adding maybe a lighter concealer, small sponge and keep my fingers crossed.
