+The Queen Of Memes I know right! It's super refreshing, most people don't have any at all... I also get that a lot on the first foundation routine video I made, but I had a newborn baby so they were extra bad! hahaha
+The Queen Of Memes I have HORRIBLE dark circles. I've always had a dark area underneath my eyes (even since I was a kid), but now that I'm in my 20s, it has gotten worse due to lack of sleep and too much staring at glowing rectangles. I'm thinking about getting it lasered. It is that bad... =(

II don't mean any of this to be mean. BUT it's so helpful that someone who actually has bags and dark circles, on videos it's been people with NO discolouration or swelling. Mine are awful and this was great advice
+Natalie Oughton (KyotoKyojin) I'm always surfing youtube in case I actually find a helpful video for the dark circles problem. This is the first time that the person in the video really have dark circles. I'm going to try this, looks very nice
Same girl same I'm 11 and my dark circles are horrid I'm really insecure about them I remember once my crush asked me what happened? And I said what do u mean? And then he said how did u get a black eye? That was the worst feeling ever and it doesn't help when TH-camrs are always like ugh my dark circles are so bad when they don't have any which makes me feel so alone!! I love videos like this where they actually have dark circles!!
+Brynn Nicole sweet heart no!!! 11 is not the age to be worrying about dark circles. next time tell your crush that you were in a fight with the hulk and he came out much worse! Looks really don't matter much. I wear makeup when we have company photos and that's about it. sleep well. eat well and if it's still rubbish and you feel rubbish then use make up if you really want to but you don't need to at all
+Natalie Oughton (KyotoKyojin) Love, love LOVE your response to her! Bravo! The world we live in today makes girls, and women alike, feel ugly! There are these pretty girls we watch do makeup and we wanna me just like them! Beautiful. So we go watch their video and we try the techniques, but they just don't work for us...or we can't get it right, ya know? So we feel like a failure. Or is it just me...lol Young girls don't have a chance to be...young girls! Boys see this stuff too and are told what "beautiful" is supposed to look like. I can tell you, the outside does NOT make you beautiful. It's the inside. And that's the oldest saying I remember hearing when I was your age, Brynn. I thought the people who told me that were crazy...old...they didn't know what they were talking about. Boy, was I wrong! Makeup can fix the outside. But there ain't no amount of makeup in the WORLD that can fix an ugly heart, baby! NOT E-NOUGH! So please, tell yourself every single day that you are a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. And you know what, you WILL be! Don't be what you see on TV or TH-cam or The freakin' Disney Channel, now a days! I swear! REAL people don't dress like that and have hair extensions and wear tons of makeup! Now, at risk of revealing my age, which a lady never does ;) I will shut up
I tried your trick earlier today, and it has not only brightened my under eye area, but it's also brightened my outlook on life. I'm 45, and I've been extremely self-conscious about my eye bags since I was as young as 10 or 11. Using your trick gave me a big boost in confidence, and I actually feel attractive now. Thank you! 😁
My favorite thing about you, is thats u get straight to the point, no 10 minute blabbering and intro, annoying long old intro, just straight to what we want to see, I wish u would upload more often, or even vlog daily.! Either way thank you for uploading awesome, informative, great videos ♥
I feel you so much... Didn't wear under eye makeup today and got asked if I got punched in the eyes, and got told I look sick/tired five times by different people. It's genetic, assholes.
I honestly never wear makeup, but this may become part of my morning routine and become the only (or nearly only) makeup I wear. This was really well made and informative, thanks
First, you are Beautiful. 2nd, thank you for actually having dark circles and showing us what to do. I hate when someone who barely has a mark under their eyes tries to show me how to fix my circles.

But, if there is some type of remedy to do (tea bags, certain masks, etc.) that would also help that would be great. Thanks for the vid.
My thing is that the structure of my face makes it look like I always have dark circles even when the skin itself isn't that dark... And then I started developing milia 😭
+TravelDiva66 Kiko do a really good concealer pallette! Also try Spatone, an iron rich water, it helped me! and also spirulina, spinach and kale plus lots of vitamin c to absorb the iron
@LAminerals I've had dark circles since I was a kid-- some of us have naturally thinner skin there. But the darkness has gotten way worse and harder to conceal in the last 5 years or so (through late 50s). I never tried this salmon color trick and am impressed with how it worked in the video.

ladies, gents,don't feel bad,I have the same problem.try ELF brand high definition lifting concealer,four dollars,CVS. another tip, brew tea,let the bags cool a bit,place damp teabags on eyes,freeze spoons and use,cucumber,potatoes
Thanks Rochelle, you're right. Tea bags are wonderful. I haven't thought of using them for a while. It's really relaxing when you're laying there quietly with your eyes closed. Only thing, I think you might want to use a lighter color tea because a really dark one might darken the area it touches.
I have hereditary dark circles that are worsened by my anemia. A friend suggested this video to me after I complained of being asked if I had a black eye. Finally someone doing a tutorial that actually has dark circles! I'm going to give this a try tomorrow!
THANK YOU! This was a MIRACLE for me! I watched this video last night & couldn't WAIT to try it. Today was the FIRST day my bags & circles were INVISIBLE! Hallelujah 😇 It took at least 10 years off my face (I'm 44) I've been struggling with this for years- I'm half Italian, but half English, so the dark circles & puffy bags really showed up on my fair skin. Thank you !😊
This was the most helpful under eye make up video. You actually have dark circles unlike most of the other girls in the videos. Thanks so much for posting this!!!
Dark Miss I went to the doctor and before I actually got my appointment there was a person who checks your weight and general problem you have. He pointed out my dark circles and said that I just probably don’t get enough sleep. So fucking rude
Котик Милый That is crazy, oh my God! A man addressing your darn unhealthy circles? Oh my God, he just threw advice. I’m freaking out! Make sure you don’t sleep, the dark circles might get offended...!! can y’all stop being sensitive about everything,,,
I think sometimes my family points them out just because they worry about me. And I understand that because I look tired when I have dark circles under my eyes! (And sometimes I am actually sick or tired)
Seen the prices of that good makeup and realized I'm also poor.... My bags make me depressed and never want to leave the house, so sick of all the annoying comments from stupid humans.
I don’t know where you guys live (I live in Ontario, Canada) so I dunno if y’all have the same store I bought this at...(Pretty sure you have something similar nearby) & I don’t know if this is advice you guys would think is good or not because I know how people believe it’s where you buy the makeup & the brand of makeup you purchase that makes the difference in how it works...But I own the same exact colour corrector pallet thingy she uses at the very beginning (I wish I could show you a picture) & when I say “the same” I mean color wise & consistency...Its obviously not the same brand but it worked the exact same way...(& trust me I know jack shit about makeup & how to apply it)...Hence the reason I’m watching makeup tutorials...lol...Anyways, I digress, sooooo I just bought it yesterday along with a bunch of other beauty products & makeup like “wet n wild” eyeliner, (that works awesome by the way) at the local buck or 2 or basically “the dollar store”...It was only $3, the eyeliner was a buck & another pallet & some eyeshadow palettes were $2 & $2 & 50 cents respectively...I dunno if any of this is helpful, after all you may already know about this, but it was really inexpensive, (I wasn’t sure at first about it because of that) & it works just like anything else I’ve bought for $20 all the way up to $59 dollars for lipstick & concealer...So I just thought I’d mention it in case you guys didn’t know about that & wanted to try for it for yourselves...(After all it’s only a buck or 2)...Although I do know that sometimes for some people even that can be to much money to spend on frivolous things like makeup, (especially when you have a family, mortgage & bills to pay)...But I thought I’d offer some advice & mention it anyways...So do with it what you will & I only meant to be helpful by posting this, so I hope it may help & stuff & happy shopping (if you do decide to buy)😊😊😊namaste...
You shouldn't be apologizing for trying to offer help. I'm fairly sure that there are lots of people that don't know dollar stores sell cosmetics... It was thoughtful for you to post this... I only found out recently myself and wow... that was exciting!!! I came home with a lots of goodies for under $20. For those that can't afford an item from a dollar store right away, I hope you can put aside 50 cents a month or so as it will get you enough stuff to get started.
I find you more attractive than many beauty gurus in the sense that you don't lie about your problems and aren't afraid to say you have them. When you say you have dark circles, you actually have them. You don't pretend you aren't human and you're so real about everything. Thank you for representing honesty and putting out DIY and fix-it content for people who really actually have these "problems."
Hi girl this vid hit home. I too have dealt with every eye trauma under the sun and have become a pro at concealing. So I really wanted to share my tips that helped me. I do a cucumber eye mask and a strawberry eye mask. The cucumbers instantly remove the puffiness and the strawberries instantly tighten the skin and yes this was instant for me. Just slice really thin (needs to b paper-thin or its useless) and size it to adhere comfortably under the eyes and repeat as needed. I do this twice for 30/1hr or I overnight the mask. 🍃💛
yessssss girl yessss! I have such an issue with bags and it gets annoying when people tell me I look tired even though I got plenty of sleep. I'm so gonna try this now, thank you!
Love this video! Iam 69 yrs.old, and have the dark circles--tryed the method you used,and it looks super! I used the Sephora pantone color corrector palette. Wonderful! Goes on easy and do not have to use much product. thanks for this video!!
Just found this, and I have to say, it's refreshing to see someone who actually have bags under their eyes give tips on how to cover them. This way one can see that it really helps, so, thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been searching for AGES on how to hide the bags - I color correct with red for the darkness, but even with that I hated that you could still see the bags underneath. I tried your trick with drawing a line with concealer around the edge of the bag, and it worked! I felt like crying because I finally have a solution! I've watched so many videos about hiding dark circles, and you are the first person to actually teach me something useful. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Even when I get the full 9 and 1/2 hours a night consistently over a long period of time the circles never go away, I am so tired of being asked if I'm tired
I've stumbled across your channel a few times now! My under eye circles are really dark and your tips help a lot. You're so sweet and your videos are really helpful. I subscribed :) xx
I'm so thankful I found this video. My circles get worse as the years go by. I've watched so many tutorials lately. Tried at least 5 different techniques and none worked. No one ever address the shadow well enough to make it look good. Thank you so much for your help!
I've watched SO many videos on this topic and yours is BY FAR the most help! Thank you for going step by step and providing real suggestions & answers!
I love everything about this video. I've watched over 20 others on how to conceal dark eye circles and all of them are overly complex and some of them don't even look that great when it's all over. This is the first one that's simple, almost self-explanatory, and won't cost a million dollars and seventeen products to pull off. Your before and after sealed the deal. I can't wait to try this tomorrow. Also, you're really pretty! Like knockout pretty, wow.
You are stunning! You kind of remind me of Jessica Rabbit :) I love watching this type of videos, and it's awesome that you actually have dark circles like me! You shared some great tips too! I actually just did a foundation routine in my channel as well! xx
I dunno why but u resemble jessica rabbit (to me) lol I think it's the big beautiful eyes and red hair and big voluptuous lips:) btw can i use a matte shadow??
omg I love you! your tips are ACTUALLY new and useful! not like other dumb youtubers making dumb useless overrepeated lifehacks. Thank you so much!:D good luck with the baby!:3
I've been using glasses all my life and have very dark circles and now I've inherited my daddy's saddle bag eyes🤬 Thank you so much for making this video! I already had some of the makeup, but had no idea of how to go about using them. You're an eye (life) saver!
I have suffered from this all my life! Thank you for taking the time to really explain how to apply these tricks it was really informative and the results look great on you
Omg someone with real dark and baggy circles... And just like me one eye is way worse. My current routine atm is 3 diff shades of studio finish, Cle de peau, a Armani corrector in orange, a skin toned fine milled powder from MUFE and a thin brush.... Its been giving me good photos, lasting 8hrs out of my 12 hour shift, gotten rid of my eye bags, naso labial fold, contoured my nose and kept the dark reddish area around my nose at bay. Only issue is I laugh or smile a lot lol so it does crack after 8hrs...just a bit specially under my eyes so I either pat it or add a bit of product and am set for the day.
Jasmine Kushnir ever tried MACs studio finish concealer? Its been my staple so far Ive tried Bobbi Brown, Armani, All of Canadian Drug Stores and in the end... The waxy stuff stayed on the longest and it covered the most. Her trick a well as Lisa Eldridge's applying it only in places you need and blending out has been working amazingly for me
ok today I apply it prior to foundation and I put only as much as I need...you can't completely avoid it but it's the least amount of creasing I ever got compared to my Bobbi Brown...and I avoid applying it too close to the lids...just focused on the darkest shadows of my bags
Alexandra i live in Greece and we have only mac cosmetics here.Does orange studio fix concealer do the same job with the orange product you used in the video???
This is the absolute best and most thorough video addressing both bags and circles! Although too much concealer for a woman of a certain age... that can be adjusted easily. I appreciate that it’s not extremely long to watch either. Well done! Subscribed!
This is awesome! but it seems it'll take long to apply all the levels. Also my circles and bags are much more noticeably would this process also help me?
I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone with dark circles like me!! I used to be really self conscious when I was younger because kids would always ask me “what’s that under your eyes. Are you sick? Did you get punched?” Until I learned it was just genetics. I’m so thankful for this advice ❤️
Hey great video very helpfu - I have horrible blue circles but I dont want to use so much makeup as a guy, (powder,foundation,moisturizer ect...) is using the concealer enough? or I gotta use all of that stuff to get a natural effect , tnx again for the great video my eye circles are so bad people think Im high or drunk all the time lol! even my boss thinks I'm addicted to something rofl, its make up time, screw it
yep, in order to get a natural & healthy looking result, i highly recommend using a moisturizer before applying concealer. and the concealer also might dry out your eye area a bit so it's a must to use moisturizer. to set the whole thing i'd definitely use powder because otherwise, your under eye area will look shiny & the makeup won't stay underneath your eyes for an entire day. (ofc you can give it a try and use no powder but i'm not sure about the results..:))
+Alex Beberman LOL don't do it dude unless you get it spot on its going to look as if you are a dude wearing make up - i'm not sure which is worse your boss thinking you are high or wearing make up or worse both OMG
I agree with all these comments, but again not in a bad way. It's so great to have a under eye coverage tutorial from someone who ACTUALLY has dark circles. My dark circles are so bad, and just about every tutorial I've seen is of someone who doesn't actually have dark circles.. SO FRUSTRATING!!! Because it never really actually helps me too much. Thank you again! Just found your channel and I love these little tutorials! Very helpful :)
Ok girls, would you find it weird if a guy you knew did this - even just the first step, not for the "3d" probelm? I'm a decent looking dude (I'm told), but my dark circles are SO BAD no matter what I do. Also, holy CRAP you are gorgeous.
anudistsjury Not weird at all. When I was in high school I knew a lot of guys who used some makeup to cover up any problem areas even some because they loved it, I even got one of them a tinted moisturizer as a gift that he wanted, Anyone can wear makeup!
anudistsjury I am a guy too. I really just want to cover them up so I don't look like shit.... The only reason I wouldn't is because society is all like "ew no, guy's shouldn't wear makeup", but we shouldn't care about what they think
Hi Alexandra. Whenever I use a setting powder after concealer, my under eyes become dry and lines show up, aka creasing. It doesn't matter how much moisturizer or wet concealer I use, whenever I use setting powder lines show up and my skin looks dry. Any suggestions? The setting powder looks so good when I see it on you & others but I may have to pitch mine because it doesn't work for me :(
DivineMs V there is an amazing makeup artist called Kevin James Bennet who came up with a solution to your problem! He calls it the "bulletproof concealer" technique (I think) and it is the ONLY THING that has ever worked for me. If you have a search on google for his name &a concealer hack then you should be able to find it. It takes quite a bit of time to do compared to normal "baking" that the gurus do on TH-cam, but in my opinion it's totally worth it and stops my eyes looking like crepe paper 😂. Hope this helps! If you can't find it let me know and I'll send you a screenshot I took when he first published it x
DivineMs V I make sure everything I use is for hydrating skin including primer and foundation. I specifically look for the words "hydrate" on the products. This helps me out from looking dry after using setting powder. Plus I invested in a high end setting powder too.
Georgia Soutar Thank you! I've used the "baking" process using a wet sponge without setting powder & it helps. But I'm anxious to see what Kevin James Bennett has to say. 👍👍
Aqua Cinta Thank you for the help. I'll look for products that "hydrate". I never really paid attention. And aside from the one Alexandria as asking what other"high end" setting powder would you recommend?
I'm so pale that during the winter I can't color correct under my eyes because no matter what (even with my prolong wear concealer) the Orange/salmon tint always peeks through! I've always had really dark under eyes and when I was in grade school I remember people always asking me if I hardly slept, which was never the case, and one day in eighth grade when I didn't wear makeup to school a guy had asked me if I had been punched in both eyes :( talk about lowering a girls self esteem lol
Maybe try a yellow concealer? It's better opposed to the orange for paler skin, or maybe your using too much orange! I had that problem first but found when I used less and pat it dry before I put another concealer on top it didn't peak through
Cuppycake Kaylee there are many orangish / salmon colors to try. Start with one like benefit erase paste in light or a dupe for it - which is way cheaper - is the NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Fair or light. Then if that does not work go to a more orangish color like NYX orange concealer - just use it lightly and then use a yellow color for the lines - as shown in the video. Set with a brightening powder - like ELF High Definition Eye Setting Powder, which is about $3. Good Luck.
did you try using the red like she did in the tutorial? sometimes if your skin is too blue/purple the cool times peek out under the concealer... that's why you need the red to balance it
+Simone Hamilton on some people it can even help if you put lipstick on your circles and then cover it up with foundation! I know it sounds crazy but give it a try! Good luck ;)
The best video yet...you used the least amount of under eye make up on your skin while most videos I've seen have literally packed make up on top of make up & that's so bad for your skin...awesome job!
finally somebody who ACTUALLY has dark circles.
yeah hhhhh
+The Queen Of Memes I know right! It's super refreshing, most people don't have any at all... I also get that a lot on the first foundation routine video I made, but I had a newborn baby so they were extra bad! hahaha

I have hereditary dark circles that are worsened by my anemia. A friend suggested this video to me after I complained of being asked if I had a black eye. Finally someone doing a tutorial that actually has dark circles! I'm going to give this a try tomorrow!
I absolutely LOVE how you actually explain WHAT and WHY you use products the way you do. Adore that! Keep it up girl
THANK YOU! This was a MIRACLE for me! I watched this video last night & couldn't WAIT to try it. Today was the FIRST day my bags & circles were INVISIBLE! Hallelujah 😇 It took at least 10 years off my face (I'm 44) I've been struggling with this for years- I'm half Italian, but half English, so the dark circles & puffy bags really showed up on my fair skin. Thank you !😊
This was the most helpful under eye make up video. You actually have dark circles unlike most of the other girls in the videos. Thanks so much for posting this!!!
I have never ever had someone say something about my dark circles, thats so rude! This tutorial is great and really helped. Thanks girl!
Dark Miss I went to the doctor and before I actually got my appointment there was a person who checks your weight and general problem you have. He pointed out my dark circles and said that I just probably don’t get enough sleep. So fucking rude
Котик Милый That is crazy, oh my God! A man addressing your darn unhealthy circles? Oh my God, he just threw advice. I’m freaking out! Make sure you don’t sleep, the dark circles might get offended...!! can y’all stop being sensitive about everything,,,
@@tea5224 Fr, people get offended by anything now
a yuding in my opinion it is kinda rude to point out someone’s flaw as a joke. I have no idea why you are so triggered
I think sometimes my family points them out just because they worry about me. And I understand that because I look tired when I have dark circles under my eyes! (And sometimes I am actually sick or tired)
the moment when you want to follow and do this tips and realise you too poor to buy things T.T
same 😐
Seen the prices of that good makeup and realized I'm also poor.... My bags make me depressed and never want to leave the house, so sick of all the annoying comments from stupid humans.
someone actually understands the struggle. everyone makes fun of my bags and im too broke to buy these things. my bags make me so insecure.
I don’t know where you guys live (I live in Ontario, Canada) so I dunno if y’all have the same store I bought this at...(Pretty sure you have something similar nearby) & I don’t know if this is advice you guys would think is good or not because I know how people believe it’s where you buy the makeup & the brand of makeup you purchase that makes the difference in how it works...But I own the same exact colour corrector pallet thingy she uses at the very beginning (I wish I could show you a picture) & when I say “the same” I mean color wise & consistency...Its obviously not the same brand but it worked the exact same way...(& trust me I know jack shit about makeup & how to apply it)...Hence the reason I’m watching makeup tutorials...lol...Anyways, I digress, sooooo I just bought it yesterday along with a bunch of other beauty products & makeup like “wet n wild” eyeliner, (that works awesome by the way) at the local buck or 2 or basically “the dollar store”...It was only $3, the eyeliner was a buck & another pallet & some eyeshadow palettes were $2 & $2 & 50 cents respectively...I dunno if any of this is helpful, after all you may already know about this, but it was really inexpensive, (I wasn’t sure at first about it because of that) & it works just like anything else I’ve bought for $20 all the way up to $59 dollars for lipstick & concealer...So I just thought I’d mention it in case you guys didn’t know about that & wanted to try for it for yourselves...(After all it’s only a buck or 2)...Although I do know that sometimes for some people even that can be to much money to spend on frivolous things like makeup, (especially when you have a family, mortgage & bills to pay)...But I thought I’d offer some advice & mention it anyways...So do with it what you will & I only meant to be helpful by posting this, so I hope it may help & stuff & happy shopping (if you do decide to buy)😊😊😊namaste...
You shouldn't be apologizing for trying to offer help. I'm fairly sure that there are lots of people that don't know dollar stores sell cosmetics... It was thoughtful for you to post this... I only found out recently myself and wow... that was exciting!!! I came home with a lots of goodies for under $20. For those that can't afford an item from a dollar store right away, I hope you can put aside 50 cents a month or so as it will get you enough stuff to get started.
Best trick, EVER. Thank you soooo much! I've been getting so many compliments on my make up ever since I tried this.
I find you more attractive than many beauty gurus in the sense that you don't lie about your problems and aren't afraid to say you have them. When you say you have dark circles, you actually have them. You don't pretend you aren't human and you're so real about everything. Thank you for representing honesty and putting out DIY and fix-it content for people who really actually have these "problems."
Hi girl this vid hit home. I too have dealt with every eye trauma under the sun and have become a pro at concealing. So I really wanted to share my tips that helped me. I do a cucumber eye mask and a strawberry eye mask. The cucumbers instantly remove the puffiness and the strawberries instantly tighten the skin and yes this was instant for me. Just slice really thin (needs to b paper-thin or its useless) and size it to adhere comfortably under the eyes and repeat as needed. I do this twice for 30/1hr or I overnight the mask. 🍃💛
I've been trying to cover under eye circles forever, and this is the best video for explaining how to do it! Thanks so much!
ZombieBear I'm so happy it helped
ZombieBear j
yessssss girl yessss! I have such an issue with bags and it gets annoying when people tell me I look tired even though I got plenty of sleep. I'm so gonna try this now, thank you!
Love this video! Iam 69 yrs.old, and have the dark circles--tryed the method you used,and it looks super! I used the Sephora pantone color corrector palette. Wonderful! Goes on easy and do not have to use much product. thanks for this video!!
Becky Riley I have tried a few Titorals for eye lashes eye brows for quite a while but nothing happened , how come I think it is all bull shit.
Just found this, and I have to say, it's refreshing to see someone who actually have bags under their eyes give tips on how to cover them. This way one can see that it really helps, so, thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been searching for AGES on how to hide the bags - I color correct with red for the darkness, but even with that I hated that you could still see the bags underneath. I tried your trick with drawing a line with concealer around the edge of the bag, and it worked! I felt like crying because I finally have a solution! I've watched so many videos about hiding dark circles, and you are the first person to actually teach me something useful. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Even when I get the full 9 and 1/2 hours a night consistently over a long period of time the circles never go away, I am so tired of being asked if I'm tired
I love how quick yet detailed this tutorial is! You're amazingly gorgeous (even with the dark circles!!!) Thank you for this video :)
I've stumbled across your channel a few times now! My under eye circles are really dark and your tips help a lot. You're so sweet and your videos are really helpful. I subscribed :) xx
another beauty hack video? :)
I'm so thankful I found this video. My circles get worse as the years go by. I've watched so many tutorials lately. Tried at least 5 different techniques and none worked. No one ever address the shadow well enough to make it look good. Thank you so much for your help!
I've watched SO many videos on this topic and yours is BY FAR the most help! Thank you for going step by step and providing real suggestions & answers!
So I noticed recently your bags have drastically improved. Did you get fillers or used products?? Do you have a video on what you did???
I don't know why, but I've always thoughy thay you looks a lot like Jessica Rabbit
Her lips and hairstyle/color I think :)
Taylor M. Collette yes!!!
she does
yeah omg
FINALLY. someone who has the same under-eye circles like I do. This really helped! :)
I love everything about this video. I've watched over 20 others on how to conceal dark eye circles and all of them are overly complex and some of them don't even look that great when it's all over. This is the first one that's simple, almost self-explanatory, and won't cost a million dollars and seventeen products to pull off. Your before and after sealed the deal. I can't wait to try this tomorrow.
Also, you're really pretty! Like knockout pretty, wow.
This is by far the best tutorial I've seen for bags and dark circles yet! Thank you! Can not wait to try this!
This is the best video on dark circles and bags.
-under eye moisturiser
-peach stiff colour corrector (for dark circle)
-yellow stiff colour corrector (for eyebag line)
-creamy concealer lighter than your skin tone
-undereye/translucent powder
You are stunning! You kind of remind me of Jessica Rabbit :) I love watching this type of videos, and it's awesome that you actually have dark circles like me! You shared some great tips too! I actually just did a foundation routine in my channel as well! xx
I was literally just thinking that she looks like Jessica Rabbit here lol
Hahaha Good, its not just me then ;D
I was just about to say that
Kayla Mina I wouldn't say stunning.. She's alright, but that nose, looks like she had way too much plastic surgery!!!
best tutorial i’ve ever seeen. honestly. i found this about 2 years ago and have been using this method ever since. game changer!
Alexandra, that trick of outlining the bag has saved me!! Total game changer!
when u mentioned the color chart I died laughing 😂😂 the way u said "if you don't know what this is" was hilarious 😂😂
I dunno why but u resemble jessica rabbit (to me) lol I think it's the big beautiful eyes and red hair and big voluptuous lips:) btw can i use a matte shadow??
I thought I was the only one thinking this! Lol
shannon mcdonald yesssssssss she does...jejejejejej
shannon mcdonald OMG! lol I was just gonna comment the same thing!
Thank goodness I found a video that doesn't talk so much! You got right down to business! Thank you for that...Very good instructional video!
Wow thank you for educating me on the color correcting I never was able to comprehend until now! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world
I have finally found the most comprehensive, practical, true-to-life video. Thank you!
omg I love you! your tips are ACTUALLY new and useful! not like other dumb youtubers making dumb useless overrepeated lifehacks. Thank you so much!:D good luck with the baby!:3
You sound a lot like andreaschoice
I was thinking the same thing😂
I thought that too!
Me too!
Ikr and she kind of looks like her too I thought she was Andrea at first but the I realized it wasn't
i think so too! haha i thought it was her as well at first XD
So my eye bags must be called “catastrophically extreme eyebags” lmao
I've been using glasses all my life and have very dark circles and now I've inherited my daddy's saddle bag eyes🤬
Thank you so much for making this video! I already had some of the makeup, but had no idea of how to go about using them. You're an eye (life) saver!
I have suffered from this all my life! Thank you for taking the time to really explain how to apply these tricks it was really informative and the results look great on you
Omg someone with real dark and baggy circles... And just like me one eye is way worse. My current routine atm is 3 diff shades of studio finish, Cle de peau, a Armani corrector in orange, a skin toned fine milled powder from MUFE and a thin brush.... Its been giving me good photos, lasting 8hrs out of my 12 hour shift, gotten rid of my eye bags, naso labial fold, contoured my nose and kept the dark reddish area around my nose at bay. Only issue is I laugh or smile a lot lol so it does crack after 8hrs...just a bit specially under my eyes so I either pat it or add a bit of product and am set for the day.
I understand how hard it is bc mine are super purple and kinda veiny, not so much bags but super dark under eyes and no concealer works😒
Jasmine Kushnir ever tried MACs studio finish concealer? Its been my staple so far Ive tried Bobbi Brown, Armani, All of Canadian Drug Stores and in the end... The waxy stuff stayed on the longest and it covered the most. Her trick a well as Lisa Eldridge's applying it only in places you need and blending out has been working amazingly for me
RED REBEL How do you avoid creasing with studio finish?
ok today I apply it prior to foundation and I put only as much as I need...you can't completely avoid it but it's the least amount of creasing I ever got compared to my Bobbi Brown...and I avoid applying it too close to the lids...just focused on the darkest shadows of my bags
Jog580
Alexandra i live in Greece and we have only mac cosmetics here.Does orange studio fix concealer do the same job with the orange product you used in the video???
Not concealer * i mean corrector
Yes it's awesome 😊🙌 they also came out with a conceal and correct duo, it's amazing!!
this video answered my under eye problems! that shadow under eyes KILLS me and my pics..thanks so much, ill try all your techniques today.
knucklesglam7 .
This is the absolute best and most thorough video addressing both bags and circles! Although too much concealer for a woman of a certain age... that can be adjusted easily. I appreciate that it’s not extremely long to watch either. Well done! Subscribed!
Finally! Someone who knows what she's talking about...
And straight to the point!
This is awesome! but it seems it'll take long to apply all the levels. Also my circles and bags are much more noticeably would this process also help me?
It will definitely help you if you have dark circles
She's so gorgeous she looks like a doll
thank you so much, that was really helpful!
Wow! I have dark circles and it takes me tons to cover. This looks so much easier and cleaner. Love the video!
I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone with dark circles like me!! I used to be really self conscious when I was younger because kids would always ask me “what’s that under your eyes. Are you sick? Did you get punched?” Until I learned it was just genetics. I’m so thankful for this advice ❤️
Girl you are gorgeous!
I can’t tell if my eye circles are from lack of sleep or my genes...
mood
Hey great video very helpfu
- I have horrible blue circles but I dont want to use so much makeup as a guy, (powder,foundation,moisturizer ect...) is using the concealer enough? or I gotta use all of that stuff to get a natural effect , tnx again for the great video
my eye circles are so bad people think Im high or drunk all the time lol! even my boss thinks I'm addicted to something rofl,
its make up time, screw it
yep, in order to get a natural & healthy looking result, i highly recommend using a moisturizer before applying concealer. and the concealer also might dry out your eye area a bit so it's a must to use moisturizer. to set the whole thing i'd definitely use powder because otherwise, your under eye area will look shiny & the makeup won't stay underneath your eyes for an entire day. (ofc you can give it a try and use no powder but i'm not sure about the results..:))
+Alex Beberman LOL don't do it dude unless you get it spot on its going to look as if you are a dude wearing make up - i'm not sure which is worse your boss thinking you are high or wearing make up or worse both OMG
just don't use a really light concealer and setting powder. you should get colors closer to your natural skin color
You are probably one of my favorite TH-camrs. Not only do you have hair almost exactly like mine, you know how to style it!
This is probably the best video on bags and dark circles I've ever seen. Thank you.
Did you ever make the video about eye bag treatments, please??? TIA. xx Blanchester, Ohio.
Like if you love when AlexandrasGirlyTalk post new videos!!
she's so pretty
+Jenny M Yes. She looks like a baby Angelina Jolie. Very pretty young lady.
this trick is so underrated. i saw this about 2 months ago and swear by it. thank you. i love this.
This is probably the best video I've ever seen on using makeup to conceal under eye issues. Thank you.
or u can put red tinted lipbalms or red lipstick under your eyes then blend it out 👍
you're so beautiful!
Omg I feel like there is hope for me after watching this video :')
Lisa Fernandez I thought I commented, and said “huh I don’t remember writing this” Haha 😂
I am going to try your technique. Thank you for a real normal demo that made sense.😊
This is the exact version to hide everything that I was hoping to find. Thank you, I'll watch it several times til I get it down perfectly.
your lips are so pretty and plump
Lovely. Will try this.
It's called collagen and a lot of it. Yuck. Her normal lips were nicer.
broughtbackin if you have nothing nice or useful to say maybe you should just keep quiet.
broughtbackin Someone's jelly
i do this other thing called photoshop
She reminds me of jessica rabbit...
I agree with all these comments, but again not in a bad way. It's so great to have a under eye coverage tutorial from someone who ACTUALLY has dark circles. My dark circles are so bad, and just about every tutorial I've seen is of someone who doesn't actually have dark circles.. SO FRUSTRATING!!! Because it never really actually helps me too much. Thank you again! Just found your channel and I love these little tutorials! Very helpful :)
Finally something simple that I can try without using a lot of products. Thank you 😊
Ok girls, would you find it weird if a guy you knew did this - even just the first step, not for the "3d" probelm? I'm a decent looking dude (I'm told), but my dark circles are SO BAD no matter what I do.
Also, holy CRAP you are gorgeous.
i wouldnt mind at all.if it makes u look better,then go for it.it's not like you're wearing lipstick and eyeshadows,its just to cover up dark circles
makeup isn't gendered :)
anudistsjury Not weird at all. When I was in high school I knew a lot of guys who used some makeup to cover up any problem areas even some because they loved it, I even got one of them a tinted moisturizer as a gift that he wanted, Anyone can wear makeup!
anudistsjury I am a guy too. I really just want to cover them up so I don't look like shit.... The only reason I wouldn't is because society is all like "ew no, guy's shouldn't wear makeup", but we shouldn't care about what they think
anudistsjury No only immature girls think its weird. if it makes you happy and feel good about yourself why not. Live in the moment.
Hi Alexandra. Whenever I use a setting powder after concealer, my under eyes become dry and lines show up, aka creasing. It doesn't matter how much moisturizer or wet concealer I use, whenever I use setting powder lines show up and my skin looks dry. Any suggestions? The setting powder looks so good when I see it on you & others but I may have to pitch mine because it doesn't work for me :(
DivineMs V there is an amazing makeup artist called Kevin James Bennet who came up with a solution to your problem! He calls it the "bulletproof concealer" technique (I think) and it is the ONLY THING that has ever worked for me. If you have a search on google for his name &a concealer hack then you should be able to find it. It takes quite a bit of time to do compared to normal "baking" that the gurus do on TH-cam, but in my opinion it's totally worth it and stops my eyes looking like crepe paper 😂. Hope this helps! If you can't find it let me know and I'll send you a screenshot I took when he first published it x
DivineMs V I make sure everything I use is for hydrating skin including primer and foundation. I specifically look for the words "hydrate" on the products. This helps me out from looking dry after using setting powder. Plus I invested in a high end setting powder too.
Georgia Soutar Thank you! I've used the "baking" process using a wet sponge without setting powder & it helps. But I'm anxious to see what Kevin James Bennett has to say. 👍👍
Aqua Cinta Thank you for the help. I'll look for products that "hydrate". I never really paid attention. And aside from the one Alexandria as asking what other"high end" setting powder would you recommend?
Have the same problem
You look like Jessica rabbit, so beautiful :) The haters are just jealous.
this was an amazing video. Tells you all the steps in a simple fashion and the result is flawless look, amazing
Such a good tip with putting the light concealer under the bags. literally like magic. A+ video!!!!
What nail polish is that though??
I'm so pale that during the winter I can't color correct under my eyes because no matter what (even with my prolong wear concealer) the Orange/salmon tint always peeks through! I've always had really dark under eyes and when I was in grade school I remember people always asking me if I hardly slept, which was never the case, and one day in eighth grade when I didn't wear makeup to school a guy had asked me if I had been punched in both eyes :( talk about lowering a girls self esteem lol
Maybe try a yellow concealer? It's better opposed to the orange for paler skin, or maybe your using too much orange! I had that problem first but found when I used less and pat it dry before I put another concealer on top it didn't peak through
Cuppycake Kaylee there are many orangish / salmon colors to try. Start with one like benefit erase paste in light or a dupe for it - which is way cheaper - is the NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Fair or light. Then if that does not work go to a more orangish color like NYX orange concealer - just use it lightly and then use a yellow color for the lines - as shown in the video. Set with a brightening powder - like ELF High Definition Eye Setting Powder, which is about $3.
Good Luck.
I think orang and red are for tanned people and I would recommend for pale people banana powder that all u need ;)
Lighter yellow
Roodey BM - would you suggest just using the banana powder over the regular concealer for those with more fair shades?
my eye bags are terrible! even after I use my concealer they are still there! help!!
Me too... I think maybe you should ask a doctor.
did you try using the red like she did in the tutorial? sometimes if your skin is too blue/purple the cool times peek out under the concealer... that's why you need the red to balance it
+Simone Hamilton on some people it can even help if you put lipstick on your circles and then cover it up with foundation! I know it sounds crazy but give it a try! Good luck ;)
Simone Hamilton some of the puffiness & swollenness will go down if you drink a lot of water & eliminate processed sugar from your diet...
Simone Hamilton i
The best video yet...you used the least amount of under eye make up on your skin while most videos I've seen have literally packed make up on top of make up & that's so bad for your skin...awesome job!
Excellent tutorial..you did a great job.
U still look great with dark circles lmao love you tho
You look mature in this video. But 2019 you look gorgeous.
I need a dupe for that Anastasia color palette 😅 anyone? "Help me I'm poor."
First time I've heard to use the opposite color of your eyes for under the eyes to cover dark circles! I am anxious to try this!
this is thr best tutorial ive ever seen for this exact problem! im so excited to try this for my friends wedding, and for the puctures!!
