Great video! The Caliray color corrector is very nice. It provides good coverage, non drying and pairs well with concealer. BTW, the new Tarte creaseless creamy concealer is amazing.
Yes I use the Bobbi Brown Skin Corrector stick in peach and I love it 😊
Thank you for your in depth and thorough reviews. I have the same challenges and didn't know where to begin with correctors. This was so helpful.
You’re honestly so great at helping us all out without under eye issues! I don’t have dark circles but I’m lucky enough to have not only 1 set of under eye bags, I have a DOUBLE set! 😭 I am a “bag” girl so maybe it’s fitting 😂 But thanks to you Carmel, I’m better at hiding it on most days with the concealer techniques you’ve shown! You’re so talented friend! ❤
I love your videos lovely lady, thanks!❤
Hi Katelyn, just stumbled on your channel and very much loved your content so far. Especially the topic of undereye darkness and hollows girlllll we're almost twins 🙂From the 6 products you tried i've used 4 myself. I still haven't found my perfect one. The bobbi brown comes close though. I'm quite content with the Pixi peach corrector and the Becca undereye brightner. Im very curious about the NYX pro fix now. Love your make up by the way. Cheers and greetings from the Netherlands
I’m very glad to see you today!! Thank you so much for this helpful video ❤😊
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this video!!!! I've been wanting to try the Bobbi Brown one and I've only swatched it in the store on my hand but the color was beautiful, moisturizing and very comfortable. You've made me decide to go order it now and it's on sale everywhere since it's Black Friday😂
@@kikik9657 Oh you are so welcome! 🥰 I’m so glad that it was helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Bobbi Brown, it’s lovely- and you will definitely get it discounted somewhere this weekend! Yay! 😘💜
Hello Carmel, I don't use a corrector color under the concealer, I don't find much difference or maybe it's me who doesn't use it correctly and I often make mistakes regarding the concealer shades, in short a headache for me hahahha. Thank you for these explanations🤩🤩😄
@@audreyso1201 Hi Audrey! You are completely right, correctors and concealers are a total headache 😂 You might not even need a corrector, but if you want to dip into them, I think starting at the drugstore is a great way to go! Have a lovely lovely weekend, Audrey 😘🩷
I’m a recent convert to colour correctors too! I love the Chanel one in peach, but it has to be said the Natasha Denona C3 wipes out all darkness and then I go in with the super moisturising VB concealer. It’s pretty much my only combo that’s full coverage but doesn’t make me look a million years old!
@@adr12346 Hi Adriana! I’m not surprised you love the Natasha Denona at all, her concealer is one of my absolute favourites. I’m definitely intrigued by the VB concealer, it’s just the price of the puts me off 😂 Great Info, thank you so much! 🩷☺️
I really like the Bobbi Brown Correcting Stick and the Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer (it is a corrector) You look beautiful. Have a great weekend, xo
@@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55 Hi Clara, thank you so much much! 🥹 It sounds as though I need to try the Lancôme because it sounds like we have similar tastes! Thank you so much for sharing, have the best weekend 😘🩷
I have tried several color correctors, and so far the Bobby Brown is my favorite. I think I may need to go a shade darker though.
@@angelaferree2172 Hi Angela! Oh the Bobbi Brown really is fab. Choosing a shade is the trickiest part for sure. However when you get it right- it’s so effective! ☺️🩷
About four years ago I learned about color correcting for the first time and it was a revelation. I haven’t been without ever since. My under eyes are getting darker with age and concealer alone leaves them grayish. So in comes the corrector. I have tried some over the years. It depends on my day and mood which one I will use. My cheapest option is the Catrice instant awake under eye brightener which is similar to the Becca and Elf one. I tried the Nyx one that you reviewed but found that to be too dry and not hydrating. At the moment I love my Huda corrector but my favorite is from Sigma Beauty the Spectrum color correcting duo. And Just recently I saw a new to me Nyx option and can’t wait to try that as well. it’s called the Pro fix stick. It also comes in concealer shades.
@@hanniehoekstra8511 Hannie, WOW! You are a serious colour corrector expert 😮 Can you do a video please 😂 I’ve heard about the Catrice and I’ll definitely be trying that. I’ve actually written down all of your feedback for future reference- it’s so incredibly helpful! Thank you, lovely ☺️🩷
After trying every color corrector under the sun, I've found my absolute favorite. Pixi Beauty's Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach is a game-changer for my under-eye hollows, with Charlotte Tilbury's being a close second.
@@Sandra.Viewer Hi Sandra! Oh wow, I haven’t tried anything from Pixi yet, but it sounds like I need to! I always wondered about the Charlotte Tilbury, so it’s great to hear positive feedback. Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰🩷
Bedankt voor je duidelijke uitleg!
@@josvandenberg8871 It’s my pleasure, thank you Jos! 🩷☺️
I was about to purchase. You saved my money. Thank you so much for such an honest review❤
@@drhemadrivegda5643 Of course! ☺️Obviously complexion products are super individual, but I’ve just really struggled to get this to work for me! 😭🩷
would love to see a comparison of the old vs new saint germain
@@mr.fiffles Hi there! Oh I’m so sorry, I’ve never owned the old St Germain & I don’t think it will be easy to get hold of now ☹️💜
@CarmelNicoleBeauty it's actually still available on Ulta's site! it's the only color you can still get in the original satin formula likely because it wasn't purchased often and they still have some backstock
I love re-visiting my stash, and it's great how some items last so long 🙂, but then so many people do love to keep going on about how makeup products have their use-by-date and old makeup is downright "dangerous", in terms of germs🙄 I've never got any reaction from older products, and my skin reacts very easily... And it's atrocious to have throw a half-used (or less) products away after just a few months (or even years), just because of that! What do you think? 🙂
@@florenna Oh I absolutely agree with you! I probably don’t set a very good example because I use my makeup years after I’m ’supposed to’ 🙈 Well, I’m more cautious with creams & liquids but powders I never really stop using! 😂 I’ve only had one product noticeably expire (a Mac lipstick) so I think common sense prevails in a situation like that 😄! It’s a travesty to abandon makeup after 6 months, especially when they’re actually perfect! 💜
Beautiful ❤😊
@@adrienneroxanne9833 Thank you much, lovely 😘🩷
Sitting pretty looks great
@@katmac8365 It’s really stunning! 😍🩷
I tho k the new brave looks great on your skin face !… the new creme in your coffee is nicer in my opinion and the old modesty is much nicer than the new
@@katmac8365 Ah thank you so much! I most definitely agree about Modesty! Not sure what I’ll do when my original runs out 😭🩷
Such a pretty lip Carmel.
Thank you so much Robin, I hope you’re having a great week! 😘🩷
Hey Gorgeous 😍. I love this video and the look you did. Thanks to you I definitely picked up the elf bronzer/contour and I love it!! I might have to get that mascara now😍. It looks so pretty. When you were describing the swim lesson air I could feel that😳. Definitely not a good time 🤣. Thank you so much for this excellent video 😘😘😘
Hi Jan! Aw you’re so sweet, thank you so much! 🥰 Haha, so glad that someone else understands the whole swimming lessons thing, it’s the worst evening of the week 🥵 I’m going to catch up on your videos tomorrow! I’ve had the busiest week ever. Hope you’re having a lovely one 😘🩷
Great holiday look. You look beautiful as always. I appreciate high end and drugstore products, like the ones you have tested and reviewed past and present. So, thank you for trying these out for us. The burgundy mascara is quite adventurous, but it works.
@@Ltmotley Hi beautiful lady, it’s always great to see you pop up 🩷 Thank you so much! It’s good to have a balance, both drugstore & high end have such amazing products to offer! It’s all about finding them 😉 have the best week lovely 🩷
You too! You always make my day with your videos and replies. You are such an amazing person. ❤️
Such a pretty festive makeup look 😍 perfect for upcoming Christmas parties. I don’t usually wear red lipstick but if I did it would be that kind of berry red. What an absolutely gorgeous colour lipstick on you 😍😍😍
@@wwfarmhouse9055 Thank you so much, Sally! I didn’t wear red lipstick for many years, was convinced it wouldn’t suit me! Once I tried one, I’ve never looked back! I have a video out (hopefully next week) where I show you 10 red lipsticks for every budget, maybe that will convince you 😉💄
My actual reply popped up under Angelissima's comment! 🤷♀️
I love one and done shadows too. May I ask what is on your nails?
@@vanessaalvarez20 Hi Vanessa! Oh gosh, I think at the time I was wearing The Gel Bottle shade Powerful (BIAB) and their Pearl Chrome powder over the top of it 🥰💅
I actually didn’t have any powder eyeshadows until today ( I have a few eyeshadow cream products) I bought myself the Natasha denova mini palette I love it so much. I won’t use more than these. I think the big palettes are less likely to stay out they are too big. It’s really obvious when the PR people do their campaigns all the influencers produce the same videos. RMS seems to this weeks product. I bought the YSL bright pink blush like the Armani one, I actually find it quite difficult to use.
@@manymoms920 Oh wow, well it sounds like you’re loving your introduction to Natasha Denona! Her shadows are amazing to be fair and her minis are a fab option! I haven’t tried the YSL blush, not sure the reviews are convincing enough to purchase! Thanks so much for sharing 🥰🩷
I’d love to know what you think of the M Assam range. They do this mousse skin tint and another product that ‘erases’ skin texture. It’s really polarising some women think it’s great some love it. I’ve never tried it but see it on QVC
Your videos are great
wesome

good
this video literally came in the perfect moment in my life, love you
good
Your look came out beautiful!
@@AboutFaceWithMonaBagot You’re so sweet Mona! I appreciate you so much, thank you! 🩷☺️
The highlighter looks so nice on you ,well everything does ! But the high lighter looks especially good
@ Aw thank you so much Kimberly! You’re so kind 🩷
Thank you, Carmel...listening while working:-)
As soon as I saw the word 'affordable' I clicked so fast!!! Then I saw the burgundy colour scheme and realised where you were going. The packaging on the special edition Catrice products was beautiful. I was a little intimidated by some of the bold shades in the eyeshadow pallete but was pleasantly surprised at how you blended the shades together. I was so touched when you mentioned me in the video and thrilled when you said you liked the burgundy mascara (now on my 'must try' list). The burgundy lip had a rich opulence to it and the blue undertone made your teeth look even more white than usual. A stunning overall look again. Thank you Carmel for this video and your product testing and reviews!! Hope you have a lovely week, my friend!! (My youngest daughter was blown away to hear you call me that) xx 🤗💕
@@jillianpurdy2542 Hi Jillian! ☺️ I’m so glad I got round to reviewing it because it’s fast become my go to mascara! Thank you so much for the suggestion 😘 You’re right about the lipstick, I think that’s why I enjoy cool toned reds, they make my teeth look a whole lot better than what they actually are 😂 Aw, well tell your daughter that she’s incredibly lucky to have such a wonderful mum! Friends always, Jillian. Thank you for all of your support, I’ll never forget it 😘🩷 xx
Also I wanted to tell you I bought Oyster Pearl and it is so beautiful!! I’m obsessed with it! 😊
@@Katelyn-uk4gp Oh wow, that’s amazing Katelyn! 😃 I’m so happy that you love it. It’s always been one of my absolute favourites. Thank you so much for letting me know, you’ve made my day! 😘🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty I’m so obsessed I want more shades of the Eyes to Mesmerize! 😂 My wallet is crying 😆
Ahaha! So is mine Katelyn, so is mine 🤣😂🩷
You looked so pretty!! ❤Thank you for the video 😊
@@Katelyn-uk4gp Gosh thank you so much Katelyn 💕🥹

wonderful once again.... : )
@@trimbaker1893 George! Oh my goodness, I’ve really missed seeing your name pop up! ☺️ It’s so lovely to hear from you, I hope you’re doing great? 💜🥰
@@CarmelNicoleBeautyHi Carmel, smiling here, I am doing well. I am taking a day to rest, I cut up two huge oak trees that fell at a friends house during the hurricane here in the mountains of western North Carolina. My friend was overwhelmed by the size of the trees and could not cut them up their self. truly a pleasure to hear your nice voice on such a restful day here. You are doing a really good job of describing your makeup choices and opinions, Cheers Carmel, George.
@@trimbaker1893 Ah George, what a truly kind thing to do. It doesn’t surprise me at all that you’d be there to help a friend in need! Stay safe out there & enjoy that rest ☺️🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Thak you Carmel
Looking gorgeous and festive with this look Carmel! I lost my all time fave Rimmel lipstick earlier this year and I’ve never been the same person 😭they don’t make that shade anymore and I’ve looked high and low (sigh). Anyway, I just bought super affordable eyeshadows from Colourpop which I’ve always heard so many things about so bought them blindly on BF sale, if you ever want to do a video on that (unless you already have), I’d love to see it! ❤
@@heartmumblr Oh nooooo Sharon! 😩 What was the shade name? I’ll do my very best to find an alternative for you! I hate it when that happens, MAC did the same to me 😭 So, Colourpop are totally on my radar! I’m absolutely desperate to try their stuff. I’m waiting until someone tells me that they have free international shipping and then I’ll dive head first into a massive haul 😂 will you let me know what the shadows are like? I’m so intrigued! 🥰🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty oh you’re so very sweet, I’ve wasted so much money trying to find the exact lipstick and failed so pls don’t even try 💸 but I so appreciate you! And I know nothing about Colourpop but have heard so many good things so I finally decided to see if there was a BF sale and it was insane. They were selling a bundle of 6 eyeshadow palettes w very different colour stories (each palette had 9 shadows) for C$44! Works out to about a dollar per colour! Then I got 1 big palette (smoke n’ roses) of 30 colours for $C36. Will definitely let you know how I like them! It says free international shipping over $60 and I didn’t pay any shipping so maybe take another look?👀
Holy moly, this is brand new information Sharon! 😃 Right, I’m about to start my Colourpop research, I’m so excited!!! 😆🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Hurry, before they sell out!!! 🏃🏻♂️💨😆 So happy you can get it now! 💃
I'm such a sucker for anything with Art Deco packaging! Old school, theater glamour, perfect for the holidays ❤
Also, have you seen the Revolution True Icon palettes that look like dupes for the Patrick Ta palettes? I saw some reviews saying they're better than high end. I have my eye on the Bronze palette which looks like the rosy toned one from Patrick Ta 🤔
@@AngelissimaASMR Hi Annie! Ahhh, the packaging, it’s really beautiful 😍 Being honest, Revolution are never on my radar?! I think I need to dive in and have a look at these. I know that revolution are an incredibly affordable brand & if the makeup is actually good too- well they’re definitely worth a try! 💕☺️
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Revolution is never on my radar either to be honest! I've only tried a lip gloss from them. Idk what to think because they seem to just dupe everything but more overtly than even ELF. I do love ELF! 🤍
Oh Carmel...this look is beautiful! Somehow, the eye look really popped those lovely caramel eyes of yours! Still going crazy resting, but only a week left to go until the testing. Then, I presume, a little more resting until we come up with a game plan 😂. Thanksgiving (and probably Christmas) will just have to do without me this year. Then, I'll just enjoy them twice as much next year! 🎉
@@katemurphy5773 Hello my love! You sound so positive & I love that for you! You’re right, get through the next while & make up for it in the future ahead! I’ll be thinking of you! Happy Thanksgiving, my beautiful friend. Take good care 😘🩷
Hello Carmel, I had taken this burgundy mascara, very beautiful but on me I did not see much difference with a black so I gave it to my sister who has green eyes (magnificent on her). The shade of this lipstick, I loooooove it and it suits you super well. Thank you for sharing🥰🥰🥰
Hi Carmel, such a beautiful look! I Love bold lips, even with minor makeup a bold lip takes it to the next level. I have the burgundy mascara and with a white lash primer underneath it pops even more. Catrice is a brand I really enjoy. Have a lovely week🩷
@@audreyso1201 Hi Audrey ☺️ I can only imagine how amazing the burgundy mascara looks with green eyes! I think that’s why my friend loves it 😅 I think the lipstick would really suit you Audrey, you definitely rock those beautiful bold lipstick looks 😘🩷
@@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55 Hi Clara! Oh my goodness, the white lash primer underneath is an absolutely incredible idea! I’m going to try that in the morning! 😃 Thank you much 😘🩷
Amazing and fresh
That is so kind, thank you so much! 🥰🩷
Hi Carmel! I've always wanted to try her foundation in shade 9. It looks so blurring and honestly what I'm looking for. Ribbon is absolutely gorgeous. Such a festive, vintage yet timeless RED! 💄I've always been interested in her lipsticks but am still working my way through what I have. I could see her lipsticks being perfect for a small lipstick collection because the shades seem so perfect. I love the looks of Rainbow Spill and Strawberry Shock for the warmer months. Thanks for doing such great reviews for us 🤍
Hi beauty! You’re absolutely right, I think you could pick up a couple of her shades & be content with only those! They’re really something special 🥰 I just love a red lipstick, they make me so happy 😂 Hope you’re having the best week, Annie 😘🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty I love a red too. I want to do some simple makeup looks this winter with red and berry lips because those looks can be so much quicker than no-makeup makeup looks!💜
the foundation shade matched you so well. I'm a tad more tan than you are, wondering now which one to go between 300 Latte and 310 Amaretti 😅LOL . Thank you for such an informative review.🩷
@@mayrawinan8166 Hi May! Oh it’s a complete nightmare trying to choose the right foundation isn’t it?! 😩 Do you know your undertone? If you have more of a neutral undertone - go for 300 Latte. If you’re golden/warmer then go for 310! I don’t think that the difference between the two will be too dramatic, so don’t worry too much 🩷🥰
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Awww..That's very kind of you. Thank you so much.
I’m a big fan of these eyeshadows. But, if you look at the amount of product you get in the high end eyeshadow sticks it’s quite a small amount. I bought the Laura mercier ones and once home tried it, loved it then realised the bullet had detached from the holder. Couldn’t return it, it must have been dropped. I love them but on reflection the Armani and Lisa Eldridge, and Mac ones I think are better value.
L’Oréal have some eyeshadow sticks now. Not tried them yet
Hi there! ☺️ That’s a great point and I genuinely think that the affordable options are just as good (sometimes better!) than the high end! Sorry to hear that happened to your LM shadow 😩 In future, I would advise contacting the brand directly, they will often give you a replacement. It’s a lot of money to lose 😕 I’ve seen the new L’oreal shadows and I’m super excited to try them! ☺️🩷
This is an amazing technique, thanks for the upload! I realised a while ago that when we are young, the little fat pad under our eyes was positioned directly under the lashline and as we get older, it just flattens out into a hollow or bag! So we end up looking strange when we try to white out the entire area with concealer and hide that youthful contour. Instead, we can create it and I've actually seen many Asian girls draw a thin line just under the lower lash line with a contour pencil to mimic this youthful eye pouch then cover the rest with concealer, which is similar to what you did here! Very natural result.
Hi Melissa! Oh wow, I had no clue that the fat pad actually drops as we age. That is fascinating, thank you so much for sharing! I’m off to inspect my kids’ eyes now 😂 thanks for your lovely comment, I really appreciate it 😘🩷
Hi Carmel, I loved this video Thankyou. I’m a big fan of Lisa Eldridge’s foundation and skin tint too. I’m pretty much your shade twin and number 11 is a good match in winter and 16 in summer. Thank goodness she understands olive skin tone
Hi Sarah! Oh wow, I wish I’d consulted with you before I purchased 😂 I was clearly way off with my shade & I think that contributed to my feelings towards it. Thank you so much for the guidance, I really do appreciate it 😘🩷
