Happy Friday my friends! Just wanted to let you know what I did on the other 2 days I tried this hack for those of you suggesting things that might help & let you know I did them already & while they did improve things a bit, it wasn't enough that it beat my normal setup for creasing & wear! I tried it with and without sunscreen and tried it with my NYX powder instead of the Maybelline powder, I also switched eyes. Sunscreen didn't seem to have any effect on it either way, using NYX powder definitely looked better than the Maybelline powder to start but by 4 hours the Aquaphor was making my concealer settle into my wrinkles and making it wear off. In the end my regular concealer setup was better!
Here are links to my concealer videos for those who didn't have success with the Aquaphor hack:

For those of you who wanted an update on my dog post surgery, she came through the surgery well and is healing up nicely! The first 2 days post-op were really rough but I gave her lots of pain killers & love! She started putting weight on the leg after a few days and is getting around well. She gets the stitches out & cone off today so we'll both be thrilled about that! She ruptured her CCL (equivalent of our ACL) about 6 weeks ago & had TPLO surgery to give her use of the leg back. Thanks so much for your well wishes & concern over the last 2 weeks! xo ~a.
Wishing your baby a speedy recovery. ❤️🩹
Oh, poor girl! Wishing her a speedy recovery - I love seeing her on your videos, she looks like a sweetie.
Angie - so glad to hear things are going well! Getting the cone of shame off is always cause for celebration! Love to your furbaby!
As someone else who has an aging dog, best wishes!
Ohhh my little baby has had TPLO surgery on both back legs, so I completely understand what you are going through Angie. Good news is he has done very well now years later and it was well worth it (he's 14 now!). Your baby is lucky to have you caring for her. Thinking of you!
I'm so annoyed with personalities that post just to go viral. Scott may be a professional makeup artist but he's also trying to sell his branded makeup. Angie actually does the work to test things out!! Thank you!
You would be right if the under eye concealer and the powder were his own brand, but neither was. Hard to “sell” “your” product if it isn’t yours.
@@Patriot1789 He'll probably get a commercial out of Aquaphor.
Agree, I am glad Angie tested this out. I love Chantecaille eye cream with flower waxes in the formula. I'm looking for a dupe because of the high price. This may work on a runway model that's 14 years old, but it definitely accentuated Angie's under eye area as she noticed immediately.
Angie, I have been watching you ever since you started your channel. I especially had a great laugh when you used your husband as your makeup model. You are such a gift to us older ladies. You are the only influencer that I 100% trust. As a nurse married to a doctor; I appreciate your knowledge of the ingredients in the products you review.
You're truly the best out there!
Laura Geller powder foundation is the best I have found for mature skin. Blurs, color corrects, not cakey. I gave up liquid foundation completely a few years ago. Fiera cosmetics is the best under-eye concealer I have found for mature eyes. I mix a bit of this with the Elf poreless putty primer and then apply it under the eye and doing final blending with my fingers works best. Overall, I have found that when you have mature skin, less is more is the best way to go. I wear a lot less makeup in my 50's than I did in my 40's.
I agree re: Laura Geller. I had given up on wearing makeup because I can’t stand having a ton of makeup on and most of it looked terrible on me. When I tried the Laura Geller products and I was pleasantly surprised that it really works well on my mature skin.
I bought LG Baked N Brighten powder foundation and I like it. It’s the best I’ve ever used. But even it seems to still accentuate my wrinkles. I agree- I stopped foundation in my 50s after trying so many. I use self tanners in the summer instead. Now in my 60s, it’s worse but still I look best without foundation. Yes it evens skin tone but at a cost of accentuating wrinkles. I don’t see anyone (except this poster) older who looks better with their foundation. I tried primers- hate them. They feel like cement. I may try Fiera under eye concealer. But I don’t have darkening under my eyes. Just wrinkles. And I have started using coconut oil or Vaseline on my face at night and then tissuing the excess off. I think it’s helping.
Excellent video! Thank you so much, Angie. As a Nurse Practitioner in wound care, we avoid allergens, and most people develop allergies over time (ie latex). Aquaphor has lanolin, an allergen that may cause issues. The best bet is to use a compoundable formulation such as Vani cream if needing to try something not indicated for the under-eye area. Be careful of products not indicated for the eye area. Products not indicated or tested for the undereye area can cause infection, irritation, and cornea abrasions.
Love Vani cream!
Thanks for pointing that out, regular Aquaphor gel does contain lanolin but the lip balm version does not.
Yes!! I am highly allergic to lanolin and Aquaphor is pure lanolin. Makes my skin crazy! I use vanicream ointment for all things needed for wound care and lip balm! Love the stuff!!
I got the Aquafor lip balm only. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and it gives perfection! It isn’t that you won’t see a wrinkle when I smile, it’s that after 8 hours my under eyes look freshly done. I’m 70. I swipe the lip balm and pat it. I apply my Charlotte Tilbury concealer and pat that. Then my concealer with your cat’s paw brush. Last the Pat McGrath under eye powder. Perfection all day I kid you not! Fabulous! I’ll never go back.
Agreed, not perfect, but better for me, less dry looking as the day goes on.
I did try it and noticed that while my under eye was more hydrated, wrinkles were exacerbated. However, I have applied Aquaphor under eyes and nasal folds at night, over my nighttime products for about 3 wks now, and the results in hydration and the way makeup looks on my skin is dramatically improved! I do not wash my face in the morning with cleanser, just use a warm wet cloth. I just cannot say enough about how using it at night has completely changed my daytime look
That makes sense, it just seems like something that would need hours to absorb before you put makeup on it.
I’ve been doing that for years using Cerave ointment and doing the same thing in the morning. It’s great!
Thanks for the tip
I went out and bought it also. Have been using it and old dear Lord hard telling what it ended up looking like because I never checked back😮. The sis without the aquaphor was noticeably better. Think I will use the aquaphor for my lips only. No waste there. Thanks for doing the experiment you brave heart.❤
It's a great overnight moisturizer!
I've been using the lip balm everyday for a couple weeks now. I already had the REVLON ColorStay powder in translucent and I don't use concealer but I do take my foundation up to my under eye area so I do the lip balm directly after my skincare and before foundation. I'm shocked at how great my under eyes look with this technique. Im 61 and wear glasses 100% of the time that have a very magnifying effect and this has been like magic.
I have done this type technique (except not using actual Aquaphor) with huge success. I use a really tiny amount of Lanolips ointment under my eyes, then apply my concealer over top of that. It always comes out perfect. I don't think it's so much the type "grease" product used but more the fact that the ender eye is really silky and moisturized with a product that doesn't immediately sink into the skin. When I saw the natural light closeup you could really see the heaviness of the powder used to set it. In any event, my technique is total win for my face.
Lanolips is fab and they now have a nighttime lip mask that’s great! It contains lanolin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. It gives a little tingle and I wanted to try it because I have a few dark spots on my lips that are starting to lighten! Yea! 🎉
Thanks for letting us know about changing the resolution on videos. Game changer and with all the TH-cam videos I watch not one creator has ever mentioned ruined that. Angie for the win.
I don't think everyone realizes there are different play back resolutions, they probably assume that playback matches upload/filming resolution!
Angie, I am sooooo happy that your sweet fur baby is healing well. ☺️❤️.
I left the lip balm on for a few minutes to soak in before I put on my under eye concealer and it worked for me.
I'm happy it worked for you!
The first post I saw like this was Dr Dray with a sunblock lip balm used under eyes.. That lip balm isn't available now, but I use a Korean super gunky cream just like this. Works great!
Love love love this video Angie! I agree that the side without the aquaphor was way better on you. I have a feeling that it's actually the powder that made the concealer caky because it's such a dense formulation. I have super oily skin and I have been using that to set my T zone lately and it's been amazing. Oily skin + my age + density all work really well for me but definitely not for everyone. It's been so cool watching people try this out. It works 10/10 for some and 0/10 for others. That truly is the beauty of artistry. It's so variable and unique to the person. Sending a hug to you my friend!
Hi Gabi! The powder was definitely part of the problem, but in the end the aquaphor just didn't work for me even with other powders... I tried it again 2 more times with lighter setting powders & while it did look better than it did with the Maybelline powder, it still wasn't as good as my tried & true concealer set up. I'm thrilled that it worked for you and does work for so many others as well! xo ~a.
I wondered the same thing. I'm exactly Angie's age (one month apart) and have what I would call "normal" undereye wrinkles. I don't use botox, so mine might be a bit deeper (not hating on botox, wish I could afford it, but just saying that my wrinkles are 100% there!). I had a random chapstick that I used. I did not use the powder Scott recommended as I had just finally caved in and bought the small sized Givenchy powder. It was the absolute best thing for my undereyes that I have EVER done. I've tried everything and every concealer. We're all different with our skin and even the "shape" of our wrinkles, so I had tried so many products and tricks and still had creased undereyes. This was amazing. I used my Haus Labs concealer, which I LOVE...I will definitely be using this hack!!!
Thank you for trying this out for us. I agreed, the Aquaphor extenuates your beauty lines. 😊. Logically it seems like it would make sense to use the extra moisture, but when I put extra moisture under my eyes, it causes them to crinkle, just in general. Thank you for being so brave for all of us. You have been my guide for many years. ❤
I have used jojoba oil under my eyes which dries down like a wax and it works really well so this makes complete sense to me!
Hi Angie! There's another makeup artist out here, and she tried this hack but she used the aquaphore ointment in a thin layer all over her face, she made sure to pat it in underneath the eye and around the face with her fingers using the warmth of her hand thenlet it set a little bit then went on with her routine not using Scott Barnes products and her face was beautiful at the end of 8 hours. So, I tried using the ointment using her application, creamy shape tape concealer, shape tape matt foundation, cream blush, nyx contour powder, and set it all lightly with Laura Mercier translucent setting powder finishing with nxy hydrating setting spray, I love it, looks hydrated, didn't settle in my lines or wear off, no mascara fall out. I think a light application of the ointment and warming it then letting it set helps. Also my concealer and foundation I used far less because the ointment is a great primer. Maybe try the ointment.. I'm 58. ❤
OMG THANK YOU! I too went out and bought this Aquaphor lip balm, I am 63.....and the exact same thing happened to me! It was horrible. I too have combo skin. The Aquaphor made my wrinkles look worse!I also tried it on my eyelids because they are a bit wrinkled and crapey and it made them worse too! NO THANK YOU! Thank God I only paid $4.83 for it...and it wasnt very exspensive...it didnt work for me either ...bummer! Thanks Angie!
Thanks for giving this a try! I love Gabbi, but trying this on more mature skin is apples and oranges. (She is great at pointing that out as well) And the women in the “hack” video, while older, did have the look that she had had a lot of work done, so that may have been a factor too.
Scott also used "face lifting" tapes on the woman in the video so the skin was pulled to reduce wrinkles (he mentions it in the video but it's so brief I had to look up the product to see what it was)...
Hello Angie, You are correct, the right side of my screen shows that the Aquaphor seems to have exaggerated the under eye lines! Thank you for this great video 🎉 🙂 Very happy to hear that your pup is doing well ♥️
Oh Angie! I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, but I’m glad to find out that I am not the only one. I was like… what in the world happened to my under eyes? I didn’t think my wrinkles were that pronounced. Used it a couple of times, and then went without it and my under eyes went back to normal.
I have been following this for a couple weeks but didn't want to buy into the hype until I heard from Angie!
I think it’s the powder. I tried the balm with Charlotte Tilbury powder and it worked.
I tried it with Halo powder and it worked for me. Agree it's probably that heavy Maybelline powder.
That’s exactly what I’m going to try before I go to work :)
Agree, the heavy powder was part of my fail but even trying it with different powders it wasn't as good as my regular concealer application.
I tried it with the CT airbrush powder & my nyx hd & failed with both.
Desperately trying to fine something that works for my wedding, though I do t know why I’m worried…not sure anyone will be that up close 😂
I could hear the sincere disappointment in your voice when you saw the creasing on one side! I so very much trust your opinion and appreciate your honesty❤thanks for sharing 🎉
You know how you JUST KNOW when something will not work (maybe on others but def not on me)? Yeah, that’s me when I saw this hack for the first time lol Thank you for trying it & sharing your experience with us.
I had the exact same experience....from the mascara smudging to the extra creasing. I tried it several more times with different concealers, powders and it never worked for me. So glad to know it was not just me!😅😘
Morning Angie
Oh my word I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen with my own eyes
Thanks for sharing see you soon ❤
thanks for doing this Angie, i appreciate it. i've used aquaphor or vaseline when my concealer is super dried out, it's a remedy for an extremely bad condition only!
Lifesaver! Swollen eyes caused under eye skin to peel.... Applied Aquaphor lip repair and viola! Soothed my skin so much that I was able to wear concealer. FYI I don't use balm but ointment
I tried this viral hack too and had the same result! Im 58 and have wrinkles similar to yours. I also tried using the balm under my eyes just over night to hold in hydration, but trying to wash it off was too stressful for my delicate under eye skin. It is nice lip balm for the lips though.
Happy to hear your pup is doing better. I did buy Aquaphor stick and see no difference from my reg application. Thx for putting to the test
Angie, I don't know if you'll see this, but your personality is delightful! I love your no-nonsense approach to beauty. You have a new subscriber 💗
I've had makeup artists on set use Aquaphor (the actual ointment) to refresh/rehydrate my undereye during filming, but only after the concealer has been powdered and set. I'm 47 and my skin is also combo.
I have an Aquaphor lip balm since I use it on my lips. I didn't have the Maybelline powder foundation but I used a setting powder I had on hand. I did notice that the concealer didn't sit in my wrinkles. It didn't fade the wrinkles but nothing sat in them. I love your channel, thank you for all the work you do.
hi Angie, like always great video :) I'm 61 I don't have a whole creasing under eyes or wrinkles on my face, thank God!! I just tired this, it worked good for me. The only thing I did different was dusting my under eye and face with Wet & Wild Photo Focus Translucent powder. I don't care much for powder foundations, I'm a liquid foundation girl since I first started wearing make up at 19. Cover Girl foundations has always been my go to, right now I like Outlast All-Day 3- in-1
I've tried this before and it doesn't work for me. It made my wrinkles more pronounced and it gives me milia bumps. My skin can't handle heavy moisturizers. Maybelline powders and concealers used to work for me back when I was younger. They look terrible on me now that I'm in my mid forties.
Hello, Angie! Your skin look better and better. Thank you for your honesty!!! I think we all need this. Models are very Jung, anything make up artist put on them will work! Please help me with concealer for 2 dark spots from driving, I can only use sunblock 30, higher like 50% give me headache. I'm sure a lot of women have that. Great video. Thank you again.
The hack worked well for me and I'm 60. I used Clinique even better makeup, Thrive buildable blur concealer and Anastasia translucent setting powder. Maybe it depends on what products you use over it? The Dior foundation Angie uses settles into my lines and makes me look older. I find mixing the concealer with the Aquaphor stick on my hand worked really well too.
Maybe it works with that super heavy runway makeup?
Yes, in a caption below one of the instagram posts, Scott Barnes wrote that it works best with cream concealer which I don't use so that could definitely make the difference!
Thank you, Angie for your honest product testing. Rin reality, everyone has a different skin chemistry and what worked for Scott Barns clients may not work for everyone. As a much older woman who does not use as much make-up, this hack might work as a night time moisturizer. But I have been using the snail mucin for years and have found it to be perfect for me. It moisturizes and heals my skin.
I really had my doubts about this hack working and I am thrilled you gave it a try! I think maybe if you are dry and really dry under your eyes it might work but lip balm is heavy so I wonder how thin you would have to apply. No i didn’t run out and buy these products I guess because I wasn’t sure it would work . Thanks for trying this hack!
This just proves that sometimes less is more. Yes, I was one who bought the products immediately after I saw Scott's video. I will still try it, but have lowered my expectations since watching the highly trusted and honest Angie. ❤
Resolution or not, you have beautiful skin. No denying that. I'm in my mid 40's and my goal is to have my skin look as fantastic as yours does in twenty years. I have often refreshed my concealer with facial oil - works like a charm.
Angie, thanks for this great video! Everything is NOT going to work great. I appreciate that you always say "it didn't work for me". As someone watching you do have to consider the type of skin someone has compared to your own. I have undereye creasing issues with my concealer. I'm 51 with dry skin, and I'm always looking for things that can improve this. Nikki La Rose suggested using a hyaluronic acid serum for this. I have used the La Roche Posay Hyalu B5 hyaluronic acid serum for my face for a couple of years. I tried using it under my eyes (very small amount needed) as prep for my makeup, and it works great! Thank you for your great videos! You are honest, warm and friendly in how you present things. ❤
Thank you Angie! I think you’re the only person that mentions the harm from oils, petroleum, etc that causes milia. I watch several Influencers that often talk about how lovely facial oils are for your skin……I learned the hard way that the oils cause milia and to get rid of them you need to see a dermatologist and have them removed. Love your videos and your honesty! ❤️
I tried the Acquaphor lip balm. I had the exact experience. I thought I didn’t do it right. Thanks for doing it.
Thanks for sharing your experiment! I can truly see in your video that the aquifor did not paint an ideal canvas. Your tried and true performs so much better! TY
I had the same experience with lip balm under my eyes. You are not alone!
Angie I think you've just perfected how to take care of your under eye area and no new tips/tricks can beat that. :) I looked back at your undereye video and at least one item isn't available now, and I'd wonder if you are using different items now (they seemed different in this video).
Could you possibly make an updated under-eye concealer video for us, please?
Happy Saturday, I'm 44 and I tried it about a week or so ago. It worked wonders on my under eye Make up
Thanks for another great video! I was intrigued by the aquaphor hack as well, but I used Cerave healing ointment instead and finished with the bye bye pores pressed powder after the concealer. It’s been working for me. I’m in my 50’s
It works for me, but I don't use the powder foundation. I also use Milani Glow concealer and Este Lauder Double Wear foundation. I use it on my eyelids before eye shadow too. I love this hack!
Angie! IT’S HERE! Colorless spf 50 The One Invisible Sunscreen Gel! I’ve been wearing it and it is wondrous! I’ll not use the other white cast and other sunscreens ever again!
Thanks for the resolution tip. Makes a huge difference.
Hi Angie! I’ve been watching you for years! I tried this a couple of weeks ago and was floored! It worked AMAZINGLY for me! I’ve tried everything and always ended up with wrinkles. This actually worked wonders for me. So, I was anxious to see what you thought. Oh,well. It could be your skin I have super dry skin… and I use a very lightweight powder. 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Angie, I tried this hack and it improved my under eye a bit. I noticed you had an aquaphore stick. The aquaphore I bought online came in a little tube with a small hole in a slanted top applicator, just like the tube of lip gloss used yo often come in. The reason why I'm mentioning this is perhaps the squeeze tub version has a different formula to the stick version?? Just a thought. I'm fairly new to your channel. Thank you for all your advice, frankness and honesty. I think you look awe inspiring.
Thank you, thank you for all the work you put into your videos, Angie! It is so appreciated. I admire your confidence and transparency so much! You are the best! PS the real world thought you put into your brushes is amazing.
Angie, you are the master! You are my #1 expert! I really appreciate your honesty and rely on your recommendations. ❤
I have been doing this for years and just today found out other people are doing this. It just makes it a little smoother. If you use too much it will crease though. The aquafor is oily. I put it on and blot it a little before putting concealer on over it.
I was wondering about this since I'm seeing it everywhere, thank you so much for testing it for us!
I don’t love the Aquaphor trick, but I do like the Tula cooling and brightening stick. I don’t know that it necessarily smooths anything, but it feels amazing. Thank you for this video!
Very helpful info. Very noticeable difference. Your normal routine looks so much better.
I agree with you Angie, they do look bigger on the Aguaphor side
Gaby is great, she really tries to help mature women it's what she likes to do. But she is NOT a mature woman, so she doesn't need to use the products herself. BIG difference, so Angie's experience with the products is more relevant to those of us who are more mature.
I've watched a couple videos about this hack, and this one is the most informative. I am dying to try it, and will add my comments here when I do. Am glad to read the comments from different women who've tried it. Thank You as always for the best videos for us mature women!
Oh my gosh! Thanks for testing this and for an honest review! These hacks are not for everyone that’s for sure! You look amazing Angie! ❤❤❤
My skin type is so similar to yours even tho I am 68 and my wrinkles are more defined. Usually what works on you, works on me. That is key!! It’s trial and error. I didn’t find you overnight. Skin Type Is Everything❤
Thank you for your review! I'm glad I'm not the only one this didn't work on. I tried it with my CT Airbrush powder and Chanel loose power and had the same cakey effect both times.
Thank you @hotandflashy for doing this for us. I always look forward to your vlogs! ✨🌼
I use Nivea lip balm under my eyes, no powder, but blot with a tissue. Love your videos.
Hi Angie, I love this hack! I’m using just an ordinary lip balm that I have it it’s wonderful. I’m not even using concealer. I just use my foundation all over my face. I don’t use powder to set under my eyes. It’s to cakey. You have to try it again!
Thank you so much for showing us how to adjust playback quality!
LOL! I know some have had success and some have not. All of our bodies are so different you know? I love your channel Angie! I am turning 42 in 2 weeks. Love all of your tips and honestly. Thanks for testing it for us. Now I know I probably won't be using it. You are one of a few make up influencers/youtubers I like and trust. This just goes to show use what works for you. Just because a Hack or product works for some doesn't mean it won't work for another.... Take care!!
It’s so helpful to me that my skin is similar to yours in that I have the oily t-zone with a couple of dry patches. I even have a sensitive neck. If something doesn’t work for you, there’s a really good chance it won’t work for me.
Now, if I could only be tall and thin…
I love the staying power of your current routine. Any chance you will add a link to your current and most recent makeup application?
As always, thank you for testing this for us.
You always look amazing! I think you're routine is better. Love all of your recommendations! 👏😁
I tried this and I prefer using a dab of Charlotte Tilbsbury setting spray under my concealer. Works great💕😊❤
Good morning, Angie😊❤ this couldn’t be a more timely video. I just got my 2- pack of the Aquaphor in the mail the other day, but haven’t had a chance to try this hack! I love how detailed and honest you are in your reviews! 💜I can totally see how some of this would happen with the extra emollient effect of the Aquaphor. It’s almost like it highlighted the high points of your under eye, and accentuated the low points.🤷♀️. I will give it a try and if it doesn’t work, at least I’ve got a couple of lip bombs to throw in my glove compartment! 😂 Have a great weekend, and thanks again for the review!❤
I tried this hack with and without the heavy powder. The heavy powder made my wrinkles worst but when I tried it with a light powder it worked beautifully!! Try it with a little powder.
Thank you for your transparency . You're still gorgeous anyway ❤
Thank you Angie, you are my go to Guru! Was gonna try this, you saved me once again!
Ah, Angie! Love ya! What a great experiment, thank you so. much for putting yourself out there and doing this, I love how thorough you are in your testing, thank you!
I tried just the aquaphor without that powder and it WORKED!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I set it with the Laura Mercier Ultra Blur talc free powder instead!
Your skin looks absolutely incredible !! Younger and younger. I’m glad you told me about the playback I want HD. IT uses more data but I have unlimited. Thank you for Reminding me
OMG. Thank you so much Angie. The side of the Aquaphor looks definitively worse. That’s why we are such big fans of your channel. ❤
The best thing for me is Neutrogena mineral uv- tint face liquid with vit E. Tinted sunscreen 30. I use med shade
I think it’s the powder causing the issue. I tried this and used the lip balm w sunscreen . I like that one better over my eye cream after it sets. Then correct and little concealer. Light powder . It helps smooth texture. I like it! I use the Givenchy loose powder
Instead of aquaphore i use cicaplast b5 from LRP (yes, the one for scars, it becomes my daily cream for face, but in special for eyes and LIPS), and sometimes i can even skip the concealer wich is not bad. I put a decent amount of it under my eyes and in my lips for 5 min and then pass it to the rest of my face. It not only make my make up easier, also improves the quality of my skin in the long run. If you try it, please let me know how it worked!
I love this hack! I’m 59 and have seen so many positive reviews. I tried it and loved it, been using it about 2 months now. I have a friend who has been using it for 3 years! So sorry it didn’t work for you.
I have very dry to dry under-eye skin. I was excited to view this video. I decided not to try this product. I recently resubscribed to The Agency and noticed a few new items. One was the eye balm stick which was in my latest box received. This worked great for me as supposedly the Aquaphor was. My undereye concealer stays in place and does not overemphasize my fine lines and wrinkles. A little goes a long way with the Agency eye balm. Thank you for all your beauty and health videos; I watch you every Friday!
I agree with you, final result, Aquaphor accentuates the wrinkles.
I did try it and really worked for me. I have very dry inner and outer corners of my eyes. I applied eye cream and applied aquaphor and let it sit 5 minutes or more before applying my concealer. I did apply a little more when it still looked dry.
I do Aquaphor at night on clean face (under eyes) b4 bed, not with make up. I feel it does help hydration, and mostly soaked by morning.
Scott Barnes uses an oil based foundation. I think Aquaphor probably plays really well with other oil based products. I haven't tried it because my favorite foundation/concealer is silicone based, and you use oils to clean them up and take them off, so I didn't think the Aquaphor would play well. Also, Scott does heavy stage/red carpet makeup, not really everyday makeup. It's way more than most women would wear. It gets touched up throughout the event/performance. It's very different from an everyday, enhance your natural beauty and people think it's just your natural skin but better AND lasts 15 hours each day kind of makeup.
Thanks for trialing so many products so we can find HG stuff that lasts all day and makes us look better in broad daylight!
I recommend the Body Shop's Vitamin E lip balm. I have been doing this practice for years. It works!
Hi Angie I am 64 and it deffo works for me although I have to say I only used a tiny amount
I'm wondering if any good lip balm will help with wrinkles and folds on our faces. I'm going to try it. Bummer that it didn't work for you. I think we all appreciate you trying out these so-called "viral" hacks. Saves us all the time and money. Thanks for your videos. I am 64 and have pretty good skin for not having had any plastic surgery, but I am aging naturally and like to incorporate good makeup ideas in addition to good eating and lifestyle. Our skin reflects on our overall health. I think you look awesome for your age. I see lots of "viral" videos on social media from many, but I always come back to your videos. Your honest and informative commentary really helps us all. Have a wonderful day.
The hack does work for me and I have deeper lines and much darker circles than you, I am 58yo. I used the Aquaphor - Only 2 swipes, Hourglass Concealer and sometimes NARS Concealer and used the Maybelline Stay powder to set only over the dark circles. I am so happy with the results:)
I tried the Aquafor and the Teint Idole concealer, but I used Laura Mercier loose powder because my CVS didn’t have the Maybelline powder. It worked for me and I’m 70 🤷🏼♀️
I think that you should have used your regular setting powder on both eyes. It works for me. I also lightly patted the aquaphor in before concealer
