I have hereditary dark circles and also some fine lines. My go to is the KVD and recently, I bought the Tower 28 and also like it. I never set with powder because it accentuates the lines under my eyes. Instead of powder, I spray a spray of Urban Decay All nighter on my fingertips and just lightly tap that under my eyes to set. Works every time and through a 12 hour shift outside (in Florida). Also seems to diminish and lines under my eyes.
Thank you Stephanie Marie for always including in your reviews whether a product has a scent/fragrance. From someone who is obnoxiously sensitive to scents/fragrances, it is greatly appreciated. 😊
Hey, Stephanie! 48 is NOT old! Many people say I was in my prime at 48. Wait until you are 68! But I'm not sorry I'm old. For example, you really DO get wiser, and you might even say SMARTER. It is SO hard to get eye makeup to stay in place, though, even with primer! My solution is I wear less eye makeup. By the way, this is the first year of my life that I have started wearing foundation (BB cream), and only to give me a little colour. My advice is, don't use it unless you need it. But I definitely recommend a moisturizer with sunscreen for all four seasons.
"Don't use it unless you need it" is great advice, imho. I use far less of all makeup, the older I ge because it accentuates the lines wrinkles on me. I've never worn foundation though, & if I could find a BB or CC cream that didn't make me look like I'm wearing crappy foundation, I'd be happy~ except so far they all do. I do use a bit of concealer undereye, my circles are quite dark, & around sides of nose where I'm a bit red. Do you have a favorite BB or concealer by chance? A whole lot changes between 48 & 68 for certain =) Thanks so much Carol, Samantha in AZ
@carolk2299 I've always has to use moisturiser. Just feels so tight without it. I'm 63 and getting wiser every year.lol But I bought some eye wrinkle remover. Can't use oil based anything with it. So am slowly getting the my perfect collection. Bought the face lift yesterday. Silly me. Should have waited for a sake
I was loving the ND Hyglam until I tried the Kulfi concealer. It blows the ND concealer off its throne. It’s so good for my mature skin and I also use it all over my face.
I’m so happy that you show you applying the product and a close up. It’s so hard to see how the makeup looks in real life when you’re under all those lights. So thank you for that!
I’m 64 and the only thing I’ve found that works well under my eyes is Fiera. I have bought so many over the years. They all creased and looked caked on no matter how lightly I applied. This is my opinion and what works for me. Move along if it doesn’t work for you 😊Love all your videos. .
@@louisesharpy I also really like the Lancôme tient idole. I have dark circles and it gives good, long-lasting, and easy to use coverage. Works well with correctors. Great shade range too.
@@Barbaras_Likes yellow does not combat the blue/purple that most people have under their eyes. Try a peach or even orange corrector! Much better! Good luck xx
Wait...I don't want to move along=)~ because that's my story exactly. No matter how much moisture underneath, they all cake & crease. I don't dare use powder anywhere for that matter. Can I ask please which one it is from Fiera, or do they have just one? Have also bought SO many over the years, it's ridiculous~ to the point where I've basically given up for the past year or two. I've just been using up whatever I grab from the darn drawerful, errggh. Also, do you have any tips regarding shades- do they run true to description, or maybe go slightly lighter or darker than usual? Hope my questions aren't too annoying, just desperate at this point😬~thanks (from a fellow "70's lady", always 27, in my case🙃) Samantha in AZ
Been meaning to mention your bangs, very very flattering and so youthful, keep em!❤ I am envious. Thank you for the great videos, always informative and well done, smart, articulate and classy.👏👏👏
I really appreciate your honest reviews. I have the same under eye issues that you do and am very picky about the texture and coverage. Thank you for the honesty with the pros and cons and recommendations for type of coverage.
Wow! I loved this review ❤ I have the same issues: dark circles, dryness, and texture. I love the details you provided about each concealer, keep hunting for that magic one that checks all the boxes !
I'm 48 as well dry skin I love the nyx bare with me concealer and physicians formula concealer both great coverage and hydrating with a drugstore price ❤
Love this type of videos ❤ they are so helpful! Would like to see next time you do this type of videos to rank the products, that would be amazing! Thank you!
Great reviews Stephanie! I just tried the Tangee red away correcting cream, it's a great color corrector! After that, I need just the slightest amount of concealer for brightening with much less creasing. It's working out great! I appreciate you putting price by ounce. You look lovely today, love red on you! Have a nice weekend ❤
Hi Stephanie, I love your videos, they are very informative and helpful 🤗 Can you please review the Hourglass and Natasha Dedona concealer? Thank you in advance!
Thank you Stephanie for this video. I have been using the Estée Lauder Futuristic Brightening Concealer for 2 months now and I do like it, although just like you, I can’t put it on too thick or it settles into my creases and I have to be careful of how much powder I put on it. Thank again!🙋♀️😊❤️🇨🇦
I keep buying and trying all these new concealers…and then go back to my LYS and Tower 28. 😊 Since finding the REM Beauty cooling under eye primer all concealers look better. That and the La Roche Posay B5 gel.
@@ashleybullard1285 I use it morning and night as eye cream. I do put sunscreen on top of it in the morning and use the REM under eye primer before concealer. I let all my skincare sink in for at least 15 minutes before makeup.
What is your skin like? How old are you or generally I’m sorry lol I want to see if it will work for me because I’ve never met an eye primer that works, but I would love to try it if it was similar to my skin.
I really appreciate your in-depth reviews! I have exactly the same issues and concerns as you do regarding my under-eyes, and your videos are very helpful. I also appreciate the fact that you emphasize the price per 0.25 Oz so that it is comparable, there are such big differences in the amounts that different brands have! So all in all, thanks!❤
Have been eagerly awaiting this video and didn’t disappoint! My holy grail has been the Nyx serum concealer but need more coverage! I have 2 big bulging horrors under my eyes I constantly have to conceal lol 😂
i would so much rather have honest reviews so thank you for being hard on products! In the future I would like to see more face movement after applying the concealers if possible. Personally when I put them on, they look fine but once I smile or move my face some crease worse than others. So Id like to know how they crease. Thanks!!
I still like the old it cosmetics bye bye under eye for full coverage without the dry cakey look. It’s not “luminous” or “radiant” but it doesn’t set so it doesn’t dry out and has full coverage. Tons of shades. It’s one I always go back to.
First, your bangs and hair are just amazing. I have the same under eye issues except I am 62 and have more lines and dryness. Loved the thoroughness of this review. Do you still use the Beautypie cream color corrector? I am currently using a mix of ND with some Rare Beauty brightener applied lightly with a sponge. Thanks for great content always!
I completely agree with your take on the Sephora concealer, I noticed it was almost like this chalky consistency and it smells off. I gave it a good try too and each time I had the same patchy/chalk like appearance.
Hello Stephanie. Love your reviews, especially since I also have dry under-eye skin and dark circles. Have you tried the Winky Lux concealer? I got a trial size with an order and I was blown away at how good it is. Btw, it’s full coverage and unscented but it comes in a squeeze tube which is not a deal breaker for me since it’s so good.
Hi Stephanie (my daughter’s name)! I am your color twin. So, I’d love to know what the beautiful lipstick you have on is. I am also listening to your concealer reviews as I need the coverage.
Love your concealer recommendation. I am struggling with dark circles and extreme dryness under the eyes. Also can you please share your hair color. Thank you
Love this vid but for girlies with DARK circles, I don’t recommend liquid concealer. I personally use a pot concealer they’re a bit more full coverage ❤
Hi Stephanie, I started using the Necessaire body wash after hearing you talk about it and I love it. I am considering the Rosemary shampoo and conditioner. I am having some hair loss and I am wondering if you have tried it ? Its pricey so dont want to try it unless I have a good recommendation. Thank you! FYI, Neutrogena concealer is my current fave.Ecru light is very slightly peach so is a color correction too
Your video was amazing, wow! I have a quick question: If I had to choose one concealer that gives the most realistic and natural look for dark circles-one that is undetectable- which one would you recommend for men, please?
Stephanie Marie, thank you for the review of the Saie, it sounds good for me to try as I am a non powder girl, unless it is Pat McGrath. You asked once about a SPF concealer, I recommend Drmtgly. I got it and use it for those days where I am an outdoorgirl. Would love your review of the Drmtlgy concealer. It is a 41. Again, thanks for this video, that Guerlin might be in my future.
Great reviews as usual! 👍👍I’m using the Laura Mercier concealer you reviewed in the video. I use the CT under eye corrector in light. I love this combination under my dry eyes. I set it with Givenchy loose powder in the pinky color. Love my undereyes with this trio! Your bangs look great in this video! Your hair looks beautiful!! 😀
Your reviews are so thorough and you work so hard on all your reviews one of the best ever ! Thank you I am 63. I found that I really like the Lancôme Tient idole. I need to try some. I do like the Georgio Armani. It has a peach undertone. My inner corners have dark. No dark circles. I’m 63. Dry.
Love your hair! I have never been lucky with concealer…not sure if it is me not being skilled but most make me look worse…I really need help…hollows, discolouration and dry crepey skin.
I'm using up the last of my Kopari Starry Eye Balm that's discontinued. I'm trying out an eye stick from Tula that I'm sharing in Sunday's video. I like it so far! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie thank you, I suffer with pilling between the bridge of my nose and the corner of my eye... which is where my eyes are the darkest... Nothing seems to work. Not even Charlotte Tilbury colour corrector.. infant that one is the worst.
I have been waiting for your review on the Guerlain concealer and the new Laura Mercier concealer. Like you, I was so excited to try both, as I love the Guerlain foundation and the flawless fusion concealer. Also like you, I was so disappointed in the coverage of both. Even with a color corrector, I don't get the amount of coverage I'm comfortable with. So sad. :(
Stephanie - thank you for your reviews. I have dark circles and hollows much worst than yours. Also very dry in that area. It's always a struggle to find the right product. I think you get to a point where is no magic product that can cover 100% and look somewhat natural at the same time. However, we keep trying to do our best! I have been using the Nars Creamy concealer and the Lancome Tent Idole. I decided to try the Haus Labs and it is actually very good. I use the 20 Light Medium Peach. I'm actually using it without color corrector (I use the Charlotte Tilbury one). Anyway - thank again and maybe you can try Haus Labs the next time.
Hi! I reviewed Haus Laubs when it was released too. It's in a previous review. I love the consistency and smoothness for a medium coverage concealer, but it didn't have quite enough coverage for me. You can find my review a few concealer reviews back. I retried Nars Creamy in my recent testing new makeup video last week and it's still too drying for me. Love Lancome TI! :) Thank you for watching!!
I think you look particularly lovely today! Are you please able to say what lip product you used? As I am in Australia the products you have linked don't work for me.
If you knew how many times I've referenced your running lists of foundation and concealer matches/test videos you'd think I' was your #1 stalker, LOL! You and Risa are my go tos for product reviews. Not only do I completely trust what you guys say, but both of you have complexions similar to my own, so you're just so spot on for my own needs.
Laura Mercier works so well for my dry skin and I love ND concealer. But if I could only have one it would be LM. ND shade was easier to match for me. I also go a shade lighter than my foundation and I had to mix two LM shades to get the color I wanted.
Thank you for the video, knowing what doesn’t cover your dark circles tells me what won’t cover mine especially since my circles are a lot darker than yours. I also have lines and crepy skin under my eyes which gets even more exaggerated once I set with powder. Can you tell me your top 5 concealers for all three issues? If you want to throw in some powders to set with that won’t all of a sudden deepen the concealer and waste all the time you spent putting the concealer on, I will appreciate that too.
I love the YSL foundation but hated and returned the concealer. Have you tried the Tower 28 concealer? It's really nice, covers and hydrates. I was very surprised by it because I need to correct and conceal my dark undereyes.
This is the best one ever lol I LOVE the SEPHORA GLOW CONCEALER !!!! I have NEVER worn a concealer never even thought about it until recently and I need plumping I wish they had a foundation to match it’s beautiful!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for your review. I’ve found the Sephora brand products I’ve tried (concealer, eye liners, eye shadows) to be complete garbage. Tried the brand during the sale and big fail.
Fantastic video. This is so timely, since I'm looking for a new concealer & was doing a deep dive into your previous videos earlier today. Always appreciate your thoughtful insights & thorough research.
What eye cream are you using Stephanie right now? I just haven’t found anything I like lately since I turned 50 Help I’m sick of buying them and I’ve spent a ton of money. I was married to the Nars concealer. But it’s not working for me now and I’m trying all of those now too. I just need something a little more coverage.
In the morning, I'm using the last of my Ordinary Serum before I crack open a new NIOD. Both are at the top of this list of some tried and true ones I enjoy or have enjoyed: shopmy.us/collections/15167 At night, I've been testing out the OneSkin one at the bottom of the list but haven't talked about it yet. I want to give it a full go first. I shared their SPF in one of my monthly favorites :)
As a guy looking to cover dark circles i was wondering if its necessary to use foundation in addition to the concealer and color corrector, if im only using it for those spots.
I always recommend using the least layers possible and never use foundation under my eyes since it sets and dries down more, which emphasizes texture and dryness. If you haven’t yet, check out my video on covering hollows with dark circles. It may help you as well! 💗
hi Stephanie I have a color question regarding the color you list for Pat McGrath's concealer. i have the same coloring as you, so I'm surprised at the undertones of L6 for your undereye area. i have darker circles and hollows than you. is there a reason you go with pink rather than a warmer undertone? thanks in advance
Hi! Yes, pink and peach counterbalance dark circles and look way better than yellow for that. Yellow tends to make me look ill under my eyes vs pink or peach which cancels the discoloration better and brightens. I'm able to blend it down into my foundation seamlessly and it works just fine :)
I am still on the hunt for a good concealer. About to give up. I have tried so many and nothing seems to cover these dark circles! Using the fiera now but it is so thick and drying.
I just bought Fiera, and am worried about this "drying effect." Do you know what causes it? What about shades and colors. They recommended light, but there was nothing to test it with online. I don't have the product yet, but interested in your experiences.
All concealers crease because of the movement of the face. Once you figure out where that is on your face, then every concealer will not crease, providing you don't apply product there. I'm a month shy of 47 with dry and dehydrated skin. While I have minimal darkness compared to others, I have a lot of puffiness and the resulting shadow is obvious. People have mentioned to me since changing the area of application, that I don't look old anymore.
I’m similar age to you with same under eye issues, I’ve given up caring about bags, nothing works for me, creases or leaves dry area near inner side of under eye , help please
I think i use too much concealer in general. I have very deep set eyes, quite close together, with very dark veins uner and on my lids. No color correctors seem to cover or corrector enough without being too dark on my fair skin. Plus they tend to change how my concealer sits. But then i use too much concealer to try to brighten and cover that area. I also have a lot dryness and texture around my eyes. Maybe I'm just sol. Any full full coverage concealer is dry af, but natural finishes aren't enough coverage.
I rely so much on your concealer reviews; what works best on you is works best on me! What corrector and concealer are you liking absolutely the best for medium full coverage for you right now?
I feel like the Natasha Denona concealer coverage disappears and it's too creamy and creasy for me. I don't set with powder bc it looks so crepe and dry and dinosaur looking lol and it removes coverage imo. I think it's why I'm the single person in the universe that doesn't like that concealer 😂
No you're not. I didn't like it in my review of it either. It's drying on me as the day goes on. I think it works well for those with moderate dryness who may have texture OR those who have moderate texture with dryness. But for those of us with both, it just doesn't work
The older I get the less I use concealer. I do much better mixing a few drops of a hydrating serum into whichever foundation I'm wearing than concealer. Almost all of them make me look crepey, wrinkly and much older. No thank you.
I wish I didn't look like a zombie without it. Foundation doesn't cover enough and because it sets it's always more drying on me. That might work better for me with drying concealers though. Hmmmm maybe I can make some work that haven't before! Thanks for that!
Great video but please stop posting price per ounce anything that is 40 dollars per ounce I would not buy. We just want price most of us don’t oabout ounce price
Hi, I understand you feel that information isn’t relevant for you. While you feel you can speak for most of my viewers and think most of them don't care about per ounce price, you are one person and cannot speak for most of my viewers. I make my videos for thousands of people and not just one. While you may not want to hear about a particular foundation or want that 2-3 extra seconds of price per ounce breakdown, many of my viewers do. You’re more than welcome to speed through those few seconds if you’re bothered by them. The price per ounce given per video adds on less than 20 total seconds per video I do.
Bangs, having them straight across makes your face look too.long. I know I have a long face. I avoid this cut. Needs little longer pieces on the side. Fire 😂that hairstylist they should know this.
@suzihazlove4979 I'm so confused how and why you thought commenting about her hair the way you did, was appropriate. It's not kool at all. We are supposed to Lift each other up. Stephanie thank you for All your informative videos.

Great reviews as usual! 👍👍I’m using the Laura Mercier concealer you reviewed in the video. I use the CT under eye corrector in light. I love this combination under my dry eyes. I set it with Givenchy loose powder in the pinky color. Love my undereyes with this trio! Your bangs look great in this video! Your hair looks beautiful!! 😀
Thanks so much!
What is CT?
CT-Charlotte Tilbury.
Your reviews are so thorough and you work so hard on all your reviews one of the best ever ! Thank you I am 63. I found that I really like the Lancôme Tient idole. I need to try some. I do like the Georgio Armani. It has a peach undertone. My inner corners have dark. No dark circles. I’m 63. Dry.
Wow, thank you Louise!
Love your hair! I have never been lucky with concealer…not sure if it is me not being skilled but most make me look worse…I really need help…hollows, discolouration and dry crepey skin.
Hi, thanks for this video . Am definitely going to try . What do you prep your under eye area with prior to concealer thanks Karen
I'm using up the last of my Kopari Starry Eye Balm that's discontinued. I'm trying out an eye stick from Tula that I'm sharing in Sunday's video. I like it so far! Thank you!
@@StephanieMarie thank you, I suffer with pilling between the bridge of my nose and the corner of my eye... which is where my eyes are the darkest... Nothing seems to work. Not even Charlotte Tilbury colour corrector.. infant that one is the worst.
Thanks for another great video. Do you think the Sephora concealer would be good for highlighting? I seems like it's super light reflecting
It just doesn't apply smoothly for me, so I won't use it for that personally. Thank you!
Hi was wondering if you have a review on under eye correctors? I enjoy your videos.
Yes I do 💗
Can't wait to watch this video 💙💛❤💚💜
I have been waiting for your review on the Guerlain concealer and the new Laura Mercier concealer. Like you, I was so excited to try both, as I love the Guerlain foundation and the flawless fusion concealer. Also like you, I was so disappointed in the coverage of both. Even with a color corrector, I don't get the amount of coverage I'm comfortable with. So sad. :(
Love your hair!
Thank you! :)
Stephanie - thank you for your reviews. I have dark circles and hollows much worst than yours. Also very dry in that area. It's always a struggle to find the right product. I think you get to a point where is no magic product that can cover 100% and look somewhat natural at the same time. However, we keep trying to do our best! I have been using the Nars Creamy concealer and the Lancome Tent Idole. I decided to try the Haus Labs and it is actually very good. I use the 20 Light Medium Peach. I'm actually using it without color corrector (I use the Charlotte Tilbury one). Anyway - thank again and maybe you can try Haus Labs the next time.
Hi! I reviewed Haus Laubs when it was released too. It's in a previous review. I love the consistency and smoothness for a medium coverage concealer, but it didn't have quite enough coverage for me. You can find my review a few concealer reviews back. I retried Nars Creamy in my recent testing new makeup video last week and it's still too drying for me. Love Lancome TI! :) Thank you for watching!!
@@StephanieMarie what is your absolute favorite?
I think you look particularly lovely today! Are you please able to say what lip product you used? As I am in Australia the products you have linked don't work for me.
Thank you so much, yes very helpful.
If you knew how many times I've referenced your running lists of foundation and concealer matches/test videos you'd think I' was your #1 stalker, LOL! You and Risa are my go tos for product reviews. Not only do I completely trust what you guys say, but both of you have complexions similar to my own, so you're just so spot on for my own needs.
Yes! I feel the same about both of these ladies.
Haha! I'm glad the shades help you! Thank you so much!
same! ❤
Laura Mercier works so well for my dry skin and I love ND concealer. But if I could only have one it would be LM. ND shade was easier to match for me. I also go a shade lighter than my foundation and I had to mix two LM shades to get the color I wanted.
Thank you for the video, knowing what doesn’t cover your dark circles tells me what won’t cover mine especially since my circles are a lot darker than yours. I also have lines and crepy skin under my eyes which gets even more exaggerated once I set with powder. Can you tell me your top 5 concealers for all three issues? If you want to throw in some powders to set with that won’t all of a sudden deepen the concealer and waste all the time you spent putting the concealer on, I will appreciate that too.
Hi! I'm glad it helped! I'm unable to respond to everyone with individual recs but will have a top concealers video out soon 💖
Thank you
Please test the new Wyn Concealer and Skin Tint
I love the YSL foundation but hated and returned the concealer. Have you tried the Tower 28 concealer? It's really nice, covers and hydrates. I was very surprised by it because I need to correct and conceal my dark undereyes.
Hi! I reviewed the Tower 28 concealer a long while back. You can search for the review on my channel if you'd like. It's one of my top faves :)
This is the best one ever lol I LOVE the SEPHORA GLOW CONCEALER !!!! I have NEVER worn a concealer never even thought about it until recently and I need plumping I wish they had a foundation to match it’s beautiful!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for your review. I’ve found the Sephora brand products I’ve tried (concealer, eye liners, eye shadows) to be complete garbage. Tried the brand during the sale and big fail.
Fantastic video. This is so timely, since I'm looking for a new concealer & was doing a deep dive into your previous videos earlier today. Always appreciate your thoughtful insights & thorough research.
What eye cream are you using Stephanie right now? I just haven’t found anything I like lately since I turned 50 Help I’m sick of buying them and I’ve spent a ton of money. I was married to the Nars concealer. But it’s not working for me now and I’m trying all of those now too. I just need something a little more coverage.
In the morning, I'm using the last of my Ordinary Serum before I crack open a new NIOD. Both are at the top of this list of some tried and true ones I enjoy or have enjoyed: shopmy.us/collections/15167 At night, I've been testing out the OneSkin one at the bottom of the list but haven't talked about it yet. I want to give it a full go first. I shared their SPF in one of my monthly favorites :)
You look so pretty! Which of all those concealers is your very favorite ?
Thank you! I'd probably say EL out of these. I'm doing a top top favorites out of all concealers I've tested soon, so stay tuned!
As a guy looking to cover dark circles i was wondering if its necessary to use foundation in addition to the concealer and color corrector, if im only using it for those spots.
I always recommend using the least layers possible and never use foundation under my eyes since it sets and dries down more, which emphasizes texture and dryness. If you haven’t yet, check out my video on covering hollows with dark circles. It may help you as well! 💗
hi Stephanie I have a color question regarding the color you list for Pat McGrath's concealer. i have the same coloring as you, so I'm surprised at the undertones of L6 for your undereye area. i have darker circles and hollows than you. is there a reason you go with pink rather than a warmer undertone? thanks in advance
Hi! Yes, pink and peach counterbalance dark circles and look way better than yellow for that. Yellow tends to make me look ill under my eyes vs pink or peach which cancels the discoloration better and brightens. I'm able to blend it down into my foundation seamlessly and it works just fine :)
@@StephanieMarie Thank you! 💕
i’m looking for the video where you used the stainless steel gua sha that had a ball on one end. would appreciate a link to it. thanks 🙏🏼
Hi! I think that was my last Amazon video! 💗
thank you! indeed it was. found it.
My faves include the Nyx serum, Lancôme eclat, and the HUDA #fauxfilter.
I’m new to your channel. Have you tried Haus Labs Triclone concealer ? If so, what are your thoughts ?
She has a video where she does talk about that one. She liked it.
I sure have! It's in my concealer playlist :)
I am still on the hunt for a good concealer. About to give up. I have tried so many and nothing seems to cover these dark circles! Using the fiera now but it is so thick and drying.
I didn't like the Fiera as much as everyone else either. I'm going to do a roundup of top concealers soon :)
I just bought Fiera, and am worried about this "drying effect." Do you know what causes it? What about shades and colors. They recommended light, but there was nothing to test it with online. I don't have the product yet, but interested in your experiences.
Do you have a video testing concealers with a beauty blender?
I test them with sponges also but prefer to blend out most with the warmth of my finger because of the better coverage, smoothness, and blendability.
Can you tell us what color corrector you have on?
Today I have on the Tarte bit.ly/3xPWpy1 in light medium
It cosmetics undereye concealer seems to be the best. Only need to use a little and it’s very tacky. It’s good for dry eyes.
What corrector did you use when testing the concealers?
I use either my Bobbi Brown that's being discontinued or Tarte CC usually.
Your hair looks fantastic. You look just like Taylor Swift. Wild!
Aw thank you!
You look so different with bangs I can’t even get used to it! I’m a hairstylist so idk why it’s so shocking to me 😂😂
All concealers crease because of the movement of the face. Once you figure out where that is on your face, then every concealer will not crease, providing you don't apply product there. I'm a month shy of 47 with dry and dehydrated skin. While I have minimal darkness compared to others, I have a lot of puffiness and the resulting shadow is obvious. People have mentioned to me since changing the area of application, that I don't look old anymore.
Stephanie, i appreciate you reporting to us on those concealers. ❤ Which one of all , and not necessarily from this video is your number pick ? 🙏🌺💗
I’m similar age to you with same under eye issues, I’ve given up caring about bags, nothing works for me, creases or leaves dry area near inner side of under eye , help please
I think i use too much concealer in general. I have very deep set eyes, quite close together, with very dark veins uner and on my lids. No color correctors seem to cover or corrector enough without being too dark on my fair skin. Plus they tend to change how my concealer sits. But then i use too much concealer to try to brighten and cover that area. I also have a lot dryness and texture around my eyes. Maybe I'm just sol. Any full full coverage concealer is dry af, but natural finishes aren't enough coverage.
Have you tried natasha denona?
Yes you can find it if you search stephanie marie natasha denona concealer :)
Your eyes! Wow!
Sephora concealer is the best
I rely so much on your concealer reviews; what works best on you is works best on me! What corrector and concealer are you liking absolutely the best for medium full coverage for you right now?
Thank you! I'm working on an updated top concealer video right now! :)
For $47 I expect it to buy me dinner! 😂
I need a full coverage concealer because my eyes are very dark under the eye.
VIEVE!❤
I’m kind of shocked how few shades a brand like Guerlain has
I feel like the Natasha Denona concealer coverage disappears and it's too creamy and creasy for me. I don't set with powder bc it looks so crepe and dry and dinosaur looking lol and it removes coverage imo. I think it's why I'm the single person in the universe that doesn't like that concealer 😂
No you're not. I didn't like it in my review of it either. It's drying on me as the day goes on. I think it works well for those with moderate dryness who may have texture OR those who have moderate texture with dryness. But for those of us with both, it just doesn't work
❤❤❤
The older I get the less I use concealer. I do much better mixing a few drops of a hydrating serum into whichever foundation I'm wearing than concealer. Almost all of them make me look crepey, wrinkly and much older. No thank you.
I wish I didn't look like a zombie without it. Foundation doesn't cover enough and because it sets it's always more drying on me. That might work better for me with drying concealers though. Hmmmm maybe I can make some work that haven't before! Thanks for that!
You lost me when I saw the price of these concealers.
It’s always a mixed bag. Sometimes these have more affordable products. Unfortunately I don’t control which brands release new products.
Mind you, you only need 2 dots under each eye usually, so they do last ages!!
Great video but please stop posting price per ounce anything that is 40 dollars per ounce I would not buy. We just want price most of us don’t oabout ounce price
Hi, I understand you feel that information isn’t relevant for you. While you feel you can speak for most of my viewers and think most of them don't care about per ounce price, you are one person and cannot speak for most of my viewers. I make my videos for thousands of people and not just one. While you may not want to hear about a particular foundation or want that 2-3 extra seconds of price per ounce breakdown, many of my viewers do. You’re more than welcome to speed through those few seconds if you’re bothered by them. The price per ounce given per video adds on less than 20 total seconds per video I do.
Bangs, having them straight across makes your face look too.long. I know I have a long face. I avoid this cut. Needs little longer pieces on the side.
Fire 😂that hairstylist they should know this.
It was me - I went too straight when I trimmed them. So sorry it bothers you. It's hair and it will grow fortunately
This review was very informative about concealers ; it was NOT polite
for the negative remarks about choosing bangs!
@suzihazlove4979 I'm so confused how and why you thought commenting about her hair the way you did, was appropriate. It's not kool at all. We are supposed to Lift each other up. Stephanie thank you for All your informative videos.
I’m not a fan of this hairstyle
🤔 I don't recall asking
@@StephanieMarie you are right, I’m sorry
