After your last video I bought the Dermablend foundation you recommended as a concealer. It has been one of the best makeup purchases ever. I am 51 and have dry skin, and that just floated over my undereye. The effect was beautiful!! Thank you!!!!
Dear Marlena, that was the best concealer video I have ever seen! At this point it's kind of hard to teach me new things about makeup that I think it's worth listening to, but you easily pulled it off
awesome tips as always! nobody has ever before explained how using the right tools for the right viscosity: thick: beauty blender, think : brush! before. Marlena demo'd it perfectly and I love how her videos are super packed with info but are not super long!! thankyou! you are awesome!
You are a very strong woman Marlena, you have been through a lot more than most and yet you still put a smile on your face, you are very brave and should be proud of yourself
Thank you Marlena, I needed this video. I will be 60 in December and have struggled with this issue for a few years. I tried this technique this morning and WOW what a difference it made so thank you. Have a wonderful and blessed day!❤
I am 62, and powder is just not my friend anymore. After I finish with my complexion products, I use a setting spray, giving it time to really dry down. Then I put the smallest amount of powder on, if I need it. I love the NYX Bare With Me concealer, and I literally only need one small dot under each eye because it's so pigmented! I remember my first experience watching TH-cam makeup videos was around 2016, and I tried the big triangle, then baking (plus dewy foundations were all the rage.) I would literally have to wash my face and start again! I learned quickly that those techniques didn't work for my skin!!
I’ve made EVERY mistake. I’m 50, and I think I actually gave up using concealer for the last 5 years because it wasn’t going me any favors. After watching your videos, and purchasing the Natasha Denona concealer. I’m back in the game!
Thank you for the tips. I never understood why my undereyes looked so gray after color correcting and using a light concealer. You hear everyone to tell you to “brighten”. I tried your tip today and used a darker concealer. It worked! Thank you so much!!!
Im 57 yo with tan skin, dry undereyes and dark circles. I do not follow the trends of thick full coverage concealer. Heres what works for me: 1. Over moisturizer my under eyes and let it absorb 2. Milani supercharge corrector in dark peach. It has a THIN , moisturizer consistency. I apply a thin line in my trough with a fine brush, let it set a few sec then gently blend out with a small brush. 3. Apply a concealer w/ THIN serum formula with good pigment in SAME shade as your skin. I use ilia. I dont use a brush. I apply a swipe on the back of my hand, rub "prime" with my ring finger and gently dab on my under eye. This will not disturb my corrector and makes corrector look skin like. I do not set with powder or spray at all. I swear by this process!
Im glad I waited for the black Friday sales to buy Natasha Denonas concealer. I was going to buy the wrong shade. Your tutorials help me so much. I was hating all the concealers I have bought for years and now I know why.
Still doing my makeup like i wore it in the 90s. Learned a lot as i am creeping toward 60. 🤯Mind blown by how beautiful the triangle concealer method was on you, really popped you cheekbones and brightened center of your face...loved it! techniques of patting with triangle puff, excellent, thanks for teaching me new tricks
I’m 55 and there’s nothing I’ve found I like more than IT Bye Bye under eye. It’s so pigmented and blends beautiful and doesn’t get dried out. And YES I’ve always bought my concealer darker. I’ve always felt weird cause this is the first time I’ve hear someone suggest that! Question though: you say less product the better, but we have a layer of primer, corrector, concealer, and brightened, and powder?
@ Yeah! No one talks about it anymore which always make me feel like I’m not playing with the cool kids anymore, but even when I try others top fav for my age group I just don’t like it the same at all. The IT is so balmy!
Definitely lots of layers, but each layer is to be thin. You can skip the brightener if you don't need it or can skip the corrector if your circles aren't blue/gray. I only add all these steps because my dark circles are SO discolored and dark :( But definitely skip any steps if you get enough coverage without it all xoxo
I have tried a gazillion concealers over many year's. The ONLY concealer that covers my dark circles and one spot of hyper pigmentation is the IT concealer. You only need a tiny bit.
Love this! I’ve also done all and have learned a couple of new techniques in this one! Can’t wait to try them. I have tried every color corrector out there (I think) and, believe it or not, the Maybelline concealer works the best on my skin to hide my dark circles. I was shocked! But, whatever works,I’m good. It Bye Bye is another good one. And I’m was glad to see your recommendation for applying the powder to set. I’ve been doing that and it stays all day without creasing. The other thing that works: I apply under eye moisturizer at night but I use almond oil before applying makeup and I give it time to sink in. My 71 yo eyes look great using these techniques. Marlena is right. Keep trying until you find what works for you! We awesome ladies are not a “one size fits all.”
I’ve tried color correction, but after my regular concealer, it just made it orange. 😮 I have very thin skin under my eyes, and I can see the vein. I started putting the Aquaphor lip balm (a la Scott Barnes) then the ND concealer, and setting powder. Game changer!
My BLUE circles Thanks you! I been practincing most of the steps you mention and I learned today the use of sponge vs brush, lighter conceler use and the Triangle shape! I am including ALL this new tips as of today!!
Hello Marléna, I have certainly made all of these mistakes and I still do. For me it's the most difficult part of makeup, the concealer and especially for the color grrrrrrr. Great video Marlena😗😗😗
I normally don’t wear concealer at all, at least on a daily basis. For one, I don’t really have dark circles, two I wear glasses and three I didn’t have a clue on how to apply it properly. This video has been extremely helpful. I still won’t wear concealer on a daily basis but for special occasions you can bet that I will be using your tips! Thanks Marlena!
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to your channel and subscribed immediately. I am 68 with bags ( another inherited gift, haha) with redness above the bags close to my lower lids then dark circles and shadows below. It’s a mess and I have never been able to work with concealers. Now, after your video, I have a better understanding of the products needed and the APPLICATION, which I had ALL wrong. Going to buy the products I’m missing and will give it a go. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
I have made every one of these mistakes as well. This is why I love what you do... You help teach us the whys and why nots and I know better now. If my makeup does something that I do not appreciate, (lol) then I always go to you ladies who can help me... Before TH-cam, I suffered with all of my makeup mistakes because I didn't know enough about makeup and it's application to correct myself.
Thank you! Just purchased the Anisa trio of brushes you recommend You are an incredible force of good light and love in this world I really appreciate your hard work in the process of presentation You have helped me so much ❤
I am ssssooooooo glad I've found u!!!!! I've learned so much from u. I luv watching ur techniques, ur suggestions on brushes, concealer, etc. Ur very knowledgeable, and I luv 2 learn about skincare, makeup application, etc. Thank u so much Marlena, 4 taking so much time 2 teach us ladies out here, who luv 2 learn.
Same tips for the nose and pore coverage? It's the slipping for me and the silicone primer. Would you recommend silicone primer? Maybe a gripping primer for over 40?
If it's slipping, I would skip the primer and put down powder first because chances are your nose gets oily and it's causing the foundation to break apart.
TYSM Marlena ❤️💋PLEASE 🙄🙏🙏🙏 cover concealing eye bags 😵💫😵💫 I inherited my Mom’s eye bags & lighter concealer amplify’s the godforsaken things 😮🙄😮🥺 Plus, I’ve GOT to be amplifying them too because I’m applying it wrong 😑 Help! God Bless you & your Family ❤
I learned through terrible mistakes that you do not put concealer directly on the eye bag, but use the one shade darker concealer onlynonnthe darkness beneath the bag. Trial and error taught me and a makeup artist showed me that the eye bag will only stick out unless you address the darkness under the bag itself and it works...never sweep concealer over the whole undereye as it does nothing to shrink that area...
Right. Light colors bring the feature closer, darker colors make it recede. My bags are already so front and center in your face that I had the same problem with the lighter shade just emphasizing the eye bag. Learning to just apply the concealer in my dark trough made the difference.
Great tips, thank you Marlena! My undereyes are the pain of my make-up life!! I find, though, that if I use a brush to blend-in concealer that it makes my creases look worse, same with a sponge, so I tend to pat it into place with my ring-finger .. however I have yet to find 'perfection' ... I wonder if I am doing it incorrectly? When using a brush I use the rare beauty concealer brush, so it is the correct size .. it could be just me though!!! SIGH!!!! I am also terrified of undereye powder!!! 🤣
Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge with us!! Great tips & yes I have been doing some of my steps wrong. Powder seems to show all of my wrinkles. I use a very small amount on a huge fluffy brush. I’ve found concealer & then setting spray and under my eyes works best but will definitely try some of these great ideas!!!❤
Great tips! I’ve def made the majority, if not all these mis-steps, but it was necessary to land where I am here. It’s pretty common to find me using foundations as concealers or Vice versa bc the market has a lot of improvements to make on olive shades, esp in the fair-light category. After all, it’s trial + error, w our changing faces, yes?
Great video. I'm 46 and my under eyes are always due to problems sleeping and stress. I do like color correcting. I use the catrice pot corrector. It's peach color.
My dark undereye circles and eye bags are the bane of my existence! I've tried all these techniques many times and still can't ever seem to get the results I want.😢 I also wear glasses which causes a whole new level of problems regarding concealer. Thanks Marlena for the great tutorial, I will keep practicing to try to get it right.
🙋🏼♀️ that's me! I've done them all! Ugh so annoying. I will try to fix my mistakes and see what works best. Thank you for this video. Question: do you spray or put the setting spray over concealer before or after the powder?? I wasn't sure.. it was the last tip on your video
Ohh I’m gonna try the triangle concealer thing! Looks so great! I always use a darker shade but I don’t think I’m applying it with the right tools in the right places
Marlena, I will try these tips, but I’m 65 and all my life I’ve always felt concealer only emphasized my circles. I have the Mediterranean dark circles which I believe are the most difficult.
Yes to all of this! I was trying the “new” only inner and outer corners and it does NOT work for me. QUESTION: Have you tried the Natasha Denona color corrector? Would you do a vid on your fave color correctors unless you already have and I have seen it 🫣
Bonjour, Thank you for this very informative video. I have a question: Are my fingers as efficient as a brush or sponge? I'm 60 and, 40 years ago, except for blush, no tools existed except one's fingers. I trust you completely: Do a brush or sponge really make a difference compared to fingers?Merci d'avance pour ta réponse.
This was so helpful! I love your informative videos. I always learn new techniques from you. Thanks for the great content and for being so authentic. ❤
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. Every time a sales consultant does a match - they match it to my neck, and I get a white ghosty effect. I prefer going darker on foundation, which blends out the hyperpigmentation better.
Love the tips! I’m still learning my makeup but the concealer is the absolute most frustrating part. My left eye tears every time which ruins and just makes me want to give up (tried eyedrops and allergy meds - doesn’t help). But something you mentioned here is a thinner consistency with high pigmentation… hyaluronic acid burns my face so bad and most foundations and concealers contain it so I already struggle finding any that work. Do you know of any that are good consistency, high pigmentation, and HA free that I could try? Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Marlena, when applying the color corrector, is that done after moisturizer and silicone primer? Then after corrector, the concealer? Or corrector then moisturizer and primer and concealer? Im sorry but I was unclear, I hope you answer. I have dark circles and now small bags! Oh the joy of aging.
I just tried Huda Beauty Cherry Blossom Corrector & Honey Concealer undereye combo today at Sephora, and I gotta say, chefs kiss - it was perf. Lasted many hours, and I didnt even set it.
I should add, I'm late 30s with a fair/light neutral complexion, dry skin, moderate dark circles and some lines under my eyes. I don't use botox, so I have some textural issues. I put a dab of either product down with a brush, then blended with a sponge. This combo looked bomb. Brightening, great coverage and the least creasing I've ever seen.
Hi Marlena, what shades do you use in the ND concealers? I just bought two to try for the first time and I love the look of it one is a little too dark, but I’m wondering if you and I might be similar shades.
I’m 72 and I’m hopeful your wonderful tips will help. Thank you so much for all these lessons because yes, I’ve messed up my concealer in most of these ways!🥹
Love you so much, Marlena 😍😍thank you for all of your wonderful content! I never miss a video. I have a question for you… Do you apply the color corrector before your foundation? Color correctors confuse me a little bit. I have one from Huda beauty.
Noooooo 😢 I begged her to do a tutorial for us on concealing eye bags in this comment section🙄🙏👀😑👀 I think it’s about color concealing & placement (Lord knows lighter concealer amplifies them more 😮🫢😵💫😮🥺❤️🩹Marlena can give us the tea 🫖 on feeling confident once we 1) Drink more water 💧 (If needed) 2) apply concealer correctly Praying 🙏 she reads this💯💯💯❤️🩹
I have always had huge bags under my eyes and the only thing that will ever work is a serum to flatten those bags out so you can work with any darkness there. The problem is once your serum dries you cannot put anything on over it or it disappears and you have the bags back. So when I apply the serum that's it....nothing goes on top but your bags are gone. The one I use is by Cover Girl called eye serum and it is great...but only when there is no moisturiser or product of any kind on them...😊. There are really expensive products on the market but I choose this one.
I always wonder if I use enough setting powder. I always go for a translucent one. I have noticed that I have never gone through an entire powder. I usually buy a new one because my other one will be a year old. It makes me wonder if I am using enough. I wonder if other people have this problem. I love watching these videos because I definitely make mistakes with my concealer!
I have aging skin (in 60s) - I don't have dark circles or lots of wrinkles, but when I've used concealer, it shows every nook & cranny. 😮 Would I use moisturizer & primer, corrector & concealer or can I get away with the la base primer & concealer?
“I don’t care about trends, I care about what works” PERIOD! Love that
I'm 60 years old and follow all these tips. I do NOT have creasing at all. Setting spray was a game changer. Thank you Marlena hugs❤
After your last video I bought the Dermablend foundation you recommended as a concealer. It has been one of the best makeup purchases ever. I am 51 and have dry skin, and that just floated over my undereye. The effect was beautiful!! Thank you!!!!
I agee! A holy grail!
I’m off to buy this product right now!
Dear Marlena, that was the best concealer video I have ever seen! At this point it's kind of hard to teach me new things about makeup that I think it's worth listening to, but you easily pulled it off
Yes…an actual makeup tutorial! Very helpful. Thanks, Marlena!

Love this! I hate using so many products and do not have the time!
You. Were spot on when you talked about what works vs what’s trendy.
Im glad I waited for the black Friday sales to buy Natasha Denonas concealer. I was going to buy the wrong shade. Your tutorials help me so much. I was hating all the concealers I have bought for years and now I know why.
I could never get on the train for using a lighter concealer. Using the same or one shade darker has always made my under eye look flawless! 😊
Still doing my makeup like i wore it in the 90s.

Bye bye under eye, has been my best bet. I’m 43, with very dry skin. It’s so good🤗

Saw a Robert Welsh video today where an MUA used an eyeshadow blending brush to apply and blend concealer in tiny amounts. Looked interesting.
All of them!!! 😂 I learned that a darker concealer works best on me and setting it with Rimmel Stay Matte works the best!
I’ve tried color correction, but after my regular concealer, it just made it orange. 😮 I have very thin skin under my eyes, and I can see the vein. I started putting the Aquaphor lip balm (a la Scott Barnes) then the ND concealer, and setting powder. Game changer!
Thank you again Marlena for sharing your knowledge and expertise!!! Love you! ❤️
I’m guilty of not color correcting. I didn’t know what color my undertones were. The peach corrector is a game changer.🎉
I've constantly made mistakes w/ my concealer to the point that I don't use it anymore. It just sits there. I could definitely use these tips! ❤️❤️❤️
Hell o Marlena love your channel can you do a tutorial on hooded eyes❤😊🤗
I need that one. ❤❤❤
My BLUE circles Thanks you! I been practincing most of the steps you mention and I learned today the use of sponge vs brush, lighter conceler use and the Triangle shape! I am including ALL this new tips as of today!!
Hello Marléna, I have certainly made all of these mistakes and I still do. For me it's the most difficult part of makeup, the concealer and especially for the color grrrrrrr. Great video Marlena😗😗😗
You just changed my life! Omg you hit every issue I have been encountering with lately 🤯
Thank you!!! I have used the wrong tool, too much powder and wrong placement. 👍can’t wait to try what I have learned.
You need to use a model that actually HAS dark circles
Seriously……she talks about how dark her circles are and I’m like, WHERE?
I normally don’t wear concealer at all, at least on a daily basis. For one, I don’t really have dark circles, two I wear glasses and three I didn’t have a clue on how to apply it properly. This video has been extremely helpful. I still won’t wear concealer on a daily basis but for special occasions you can bet that I will be using your tips! Thanks Marlena!
You look just perfect without any make-up
I'm 56, God bless you girl! I needed this video 10 years ago. Thank you a million!!!
Education to empower us not just showcasing trends and hypes. That’s why you are the OG. This is why I’ve been following you from my 20’s to my 40’s.

I’m so glad I saw this. I love makeup but honestly I’ve been making some of these mistakes…I’m 68 Tomorrow I’ll take your advice!,
TYSM Marlena ❤️💋PLEASE 🙄🙏🙏🙏 cover concealing eye bags 😵💫😵💫 I inherited my Mom’s eye bags & lighter concealer amplify’s the godforsaken things 😮🙄😮🥺

Amazing tips and techniques as always. Thank you Marlena
Great tips! I’ve def made the majority, if not all these mis-steps, but it was necessary to land where I am here.
It’s pretty common to find me using foundations as concealers or Vice versa bc the market has a lot of improvements to make on olive shades, esp in the fair-light category.
After all, it’s trial + error, w our changing faces, yes?
Great video. I'm 46 and my under eyes are always due to problems sleeping and stress. I do like color correcting. I use the catrice pot corrector. It's peach color.
God Love you girl for providing us with accurate and useful information and demonstrations. Bless your heart thank you
Learned so much because it’s all in one shot! Thank you!!
My dark undereye circles and eye bags are the bane of my existence! I've tried all these techniques many times and still can't ever seem to get the results I want.😢 I also wear glasses which causes a whole new level of problems regarding concealer. Thanks Marlena for the great tutorial, I will keep practicing to try to get it right.
🙋🏼♀️ that's me! I've done them all! Ugh so annoying. I will try to fix my mistakes and see what works best. Thank you for this video.
Question: do you spray or put the setting spray over concealer before or after the powder?? I wasn't sure.. it was the last tip on your video
Pretty sure it would be after.
Definitely didn’t use a colour corrector before concealer. Got the Bobbi Brown peach one and it definitely made a big difference.
I’ve been using the Bobbi Brown peach corrector for 2 decades. It’s a classic!
Hi Marlena, plz do a video on the best loose powders - for face , for under eye concealer
Thanks for the tips ! Really helped a lot for someone like me always struggling how to work my way out with concealing my deep hollow eye pockets 😅
I never fail to learn something from you, Marlene. Love your videos and I look a helluva lot better because of them. Thank you!
Ohh I’m gonna try the triangle concealer thing! Looks so great! I always use a darker shade but I don’t think I’m applying it with the right tools in the right places
How am I just finding you now. Artist to artist. Thanks you. I'm loving your vibe and honestly.
Marlena, I will try these tips, but I’m 65 and all my life I’ve always felt concealer only emphasized my circles. I have the Mediterranean dark circles which I believe are the most difficult.
Am 55+ , your tutorial again was an eye-opener 🎉 super thank you to you
Love your videos and honestly!!! 20 year old make up vs. over 40 is real!
Yes to all of this! I was trying the “new” only inner and outer corners and it does NOT work for me. QUESTION: Have you tried the Natasha Denona color corrector? Would you do a vid on your fave color correctors unless you already have and I have seen it 🫣
Have you tried the Bobbi Brown stick corrector? It’s so good.
@ I wish but they’re not CF and that’s a deal breaker for me 😞
When you find what works for you keep it up, if you’re still looking don’t give up ❤
Can you recommend products that don't have so much fragrance?
Bonjour, Thank you for this very informative video. I have a question: Are my fingers as efficient as a brush or sponge? I'm 60 and, 40 years ago, except for blush, no tools existed except one's fingers. I trust you completely: Do a brush or sponge really make a difference compared to fingers?Merci d'avance pour ta réponse.
This was so helpful! I love your informative videos. I always learn new techniques from you. Thanks for the great content and for being so authentic. ❤
I have a lot of hyperpigmentation. Every time a sales consultant does a match - they match it to my neck, and I get a white ghosty effect. I prefer going darker on foundation, which blends out the hyperpigmentation better.
Loving these educational videos! If fine lines are the issue, would you still recommend concealer all over?
Love the tips! I’m still learning my makeup but the concealer is the absolute most frustrating part. My left eye tears every time which ruins and just makes me want to give up (tried eyedrops and allergy meds - doesn’t help). But something you mentioned here is a thinner consistency with high pigmentation… hyaluronic acid burns my face so bad and most foundations and concealers contain it so I already struggle finding any that work. Do you know of any that are good consistency, high pigmentation, and HA free that I could try? Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Marlena, thanks so much for this video! ❤ What correctors do you recommend? For combo leaning oily skin with fine lines?
Oily skin, I like the Chanel color corrector as it doesn't budge. Little pricey BUT it works amazing esp for oily skin
@MarlenaStell thanks so much!
@@MarlenaStellwhat do you recommend for dry skin?
Awesome compilation of ideas. You are so real, you totally get it.
Marlena, when applying the color corrector, is that done after moisturizer and silicone primer? Then after corrector, the concealer? Or corrector then moisturizer and primer and concealer? Im sorry but I was unclear, I hope you answer. I have dark circles and now small bags! Oh the joy of aging.
Listen to this woman! I do most of these! I trust everything u say!
I just tried Huda Beauty Cherry Blossom Corrector & Honey Concealer undereye combo today at Sephora, and I gotta say, chefs kiss - it was perf. Lasted many hours, and I didnt even set it.
I should add, I'm late 30s with a fair/light neutral complexion, dry skin, moderate dark circles and some lines under my eyes. I don't use botox, so I have some textural issues. I put a dab of either product down with a brush, then blended with a sponge.
This combo looked bomb. Brightening, great coverage and the least creasing I've ever seen.
Thank you, Marlena!
You did a video on concealer. Can you do one on color corrector? What is the best color corrector?
Hi Marlena, what shades do you use in the ND concealers? I just bought two to try for the first time and I love the look of it one is a little too dark, but I’m wondering if you and I might be similar shades.
Right now I'm using 2N for brightening xoxo
@@MarlenaStell thank you ❤️
You are brilliant & thank you for educating us in all your videos🙏🙏 Love it💕💕
Thank you for these awesome tips!
Lol all of them! And I just bought new powder thinking that was my problem. Now I know!
I’m 72 and I’m hopeful your wonderful tips will help. Thank you so much for all these lessons because yes, I’ve messed up my concealer in most of these ways!🥹
Great tips Marlena 😊
Your videos are always so informative and helpful.
I use ur Make Up Geek concealer brush 🥺❤Sometimes I do use a sponge.
Great tip about the loose powder .
Great video! Loved the demos.😊 Donna
Thank you soo much for this video!! Youve helped me so much!! ❤
Love you so much, Marlena 😍😍thank you for all of your wonderful content! I never miss a video. I have a question for you… Do you apply the color corrector before your foundation? Color correctors confuse me a little bit. I have one from Huda beauty.
Yes use the color corrector first. Use it only on dark areas and then your concealer 😊
@ thank you 😊
I can’t wait to try these out tomorrow ❤ thank you so much!
I have bags under my eyes. Do I treat them the same as dark circles?
Noooooo 😢 I begged her to do a tutorial for us on concealing eye bags in this comment section🙄🙏👀😑👀 I think it’s about color concealing & placement (Lord knows lighter concealer amplifies them more 😮🫢😵💫😮🥺❤️🩹Marlena can give us the tea 🫖 on feeling confident once we
1) Drink more water 💧 (If needed)
2) apply concealer correctly
Praying 🙏 she reads this💯💯💯❤️🩹
I guess you’d use only under the bags?
I have always had huge bags under my eyes and the only thing that will ever work is a serum to flatten those bags out so you can work with any darkness there. The problem is once your serum dries you cannot put anything on over it or it disappears and you have the bags back. So when I apply the serum that's it....nothing goes on top but your bags are gone. The one I use is by Cover Girl called eye serum and it is great...but only when there is no moisturiser or product of any kind on them...😊. There are really expensive products on the market but I choose this one.
I always wonder if I use enough setting powder. I always go for a translucent one. I have noticed that I have never gone through an entire powder. I usually buy a new one because my other one will be a year old. It makes me wonder if I am using enough. I wonder if other people have this problem. I love watching these videos because I definitely make mistakes with my concealer!
Excellent instructions! Thanks.
Great video: amazing advice and straight to the point! Loved it. I have made all those mistakes,not anymore thanks to you👍
Can we get merch with the word Viscosity on it with foundation running in the background?! I would buy it!
Excellent Explanation! Thank you ❤
Thank you for such an informative video. I LOVE that Anisa concealer brush!
Just love your tips… you make me look way more pretty.❤
I have aging skin (in 60s) - I don't have dark circles or lots of wrinkles, but when I've used concealer, it shows every nook & cranny. 😮 Would I use moisturizer & primer, corrector & concealer or can I get away with the la base primer & concealer?
Thanks for the great tips. Do you apply your concealer before or after foundation?
She mentioned she does her concealer triangle shape after foundation, so I’m assuming she does it after! 10:12
