      Have you tried the NXY bare serum concealer ?
      I’m SO impressed, it’s damn good coverage …like hella good…. has a really thin texture, it wears amazing too!
      It reminds me a lot of the Sephora gel concealer and a big like the bare minerals serum concealer but with much better coverage.

    1. Moisturize
    2. Apply under eye primer (a tiny amount)
    3. Give it a couple of minutes to set
    4. Apply under eye color corrector with a brush (because of the precision).
    *she applies a tiny amount on the hollow parts and where she has the most darkness.
    *she doesn't apply it all the way up to her eye because of the fine lines
    5. Apply concealer with a brush
    *patting with a brush in a downward motion
    *use a really light hand

    As someone who naturally has very dark circles and under-eye creasing, but who also likes minimal and natural-looking makeup, it's been pretty much impossible and very discouraging to find a solution that would check all the boxes. My current routine is pretty much based on your older videos, but I am over the moon happy you've posted this. Thank you!

      I am 30yrs old and my under eye area never had a chance with powders 😂😂
      When I was 20 there were already creases so I always had to apply lightly. Good thing is a good eye cream (bobbi brown for example) and light coverage kinda saves you money. 😅

  • @KPDanni
    @KPDanni 2 ปีที่แล้ว +238

    For anyone that still wants to powder: the only way I‘ve found that looks natural and non-drying is to really work a setting powder (I use rare beauty) into a puff, until you can’t even see the product on the puff anymore. Then press and roll onto the skin. You get such a light coverage, but it really locks everything in without packing too much product onto the skin. 🥰

    I've been obsessed with perfecting my under eye game lately. I'm mostly foundation free so I'm all about natural finishes vs the cakey high coverage paste look. Also I've really been loving letting dark circles peak through vs erasing them completely. After months of daily experimentation and continuous research, I've discovered some great techniques. Some techniques work better with certain concealers vs others. So it really is a matter of trial and error. However, all of the techniques that I've had great success with does involve powder. Which is fine for me...but I do like the dewy look Alex rocks and always wished I could achieve that with no creasing. The closest I got was to mix an illuminizer with concealer allowing the glowiness to peak through the setting powder. Alex's technique is different than the ones I've tried and I'm excited to have a new one to try! I'll definitely look into the milk primers to try this technique. I have the original becca corrector in my arsenal already, and I've been suuuuuuuper curious about sephora's gel concealer thanks to Alex. I've been really enjoying NYX's bare with me at the moment. Thanks Alex for mentioning what brush you use, I was dying to know! I find that using a brush is crucial for me to avoid over applying concealer (I no longer dot directly on face, regardless of what technique I'm using that day) and I also always wipe the brush off on a paper towel in between layers. Makes a WORLD of a difference. Brush used also changes things and I've experimented with several before settling on an old MAC 224 from my stash. I'm very curious about the sigma one Alex uses, I love the shape of it. Thank you so much for sharing this Alex! I can't wait to try it out!

    I love that you acknowledge both your changing makeup tastes and the change in undereye skin texture as you age. I'm 33 and that really speaks to me! Full coverage is no longer flattering on me, EVERYTHING creases under my eyes, and I'm honestly just more confident and comfortable with my natural face than I was in my 20's. This is the perfect way to give myself a slight enhancement for when I feel like it :)

Setting my eyes just does not work any more and the Becca corrector is my holy grail. I don't use concealer under my eyes at all anymore because it just ages me tremendously. 😒

    This is exactly how I have been doing for some time now. Seeing the expert do the same is so validating ! Deep set eyes have such thin skin around that even a little product on gives a heavy look.
    Problem with most ultra light concealer formulas is that they are soo drying, making your eyes look twice as wrinkly!
    That’s why I have settled on pixi peach corrector, it’s creamy, dries powdery, retains the shine. So forgiving !
    When I have enough time, I use liquid concealer too but just along the edges of hollow to feather everything in.
    In a face with deep set eyes, the depth feature is part of overall facial equilibrium, when the darkness is completely covered opaque, it takes away the distinctness. Something I realised quite late(hit 30 recently), the dark under eyes I was so conscious about, they just needed to be covered till the point they are not distracting, that’s all ! A better strategy is to highlight either the lips or the cheeks with a pop of colour, that totally balances the overall look.
    Sorry for long post. Thought it might help someone.

    I've realized recently that natural eye "discoloration" can actually look really pretty and sexy. What bothers me is not the bit of darkness I have, but how my undereyes are a bit sunken in. It looks a little crypt-keepery rather than sexy and edgy. But I don't want to risk the side effects of under eye filler.

    Very nice and sheer - it covers the pigmentation but still looks like skin.

    THANK YOU SOOO MUCH AAHHH this tutorial WORKS !! i have dark circles that are so much darker than the rest of my skin and i really like light coverage. but for YEARS my makeup has looked gray under my eyes, and when i used color corrector it would blend in with the concealer and mess up the whole look. when i tried to use just concealer i would have to keep adding more because the gray would show through and it looked way too heavy compared to the rest of my face. plus i have a lot of undereye wrinkles so it was a whole mess. but this tutorial taught me that less is more and i tried it today and IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, the makeup looks seamless and there is no grayness!! plus its so light coverage i feel like im wearing nothing !!! thank you soo much you literally gave me my confidence back

    Ok...i hope this isn't a stupid question, but...why do you use peach-toned color corrector? Your undereye/inner corner coloring seems to be red, not blue or purple. I would think a green color corrector would work better to neutralize the colors that are present for you. Am i missing something?

    LOVE this technique. I have deep set eyes + fine lines on my lower lids so this is basically my only option for under-eye concealer otherwise it just doesn't work. Seeing up close how you place the color corrector was super helpful. Just wondering what you think about using a product like the YSL Touche Éclat Concealer Pen - would you recommend or not?And if yes, any tips would be awesome!

      I have deep set eyes and use YSL Touche Éclat pen in the shade medium. It’s a bit pricey but worth it imo. it’s the only product that really brightens up my under eye and corrects pigmentation all while looking completely natural. I combine with the YSL primer and it’s a dream 🥰

    i’ve been getting fine lines around my eyes as i’ve gotten older. i’ve started using the good molecules bakuchiol oil for dry skin around my eyes and on my face. it’s definitely helped more with the fine lines than any eye cream i’ve used. i put the oil in a roller ball for easier use.

    You are so beautiful and proof that you can have stunning skin even with dark circles! I am indian and around a light- medium complexion and my major skin concern are dark circles! Pretty good skin( no acne, smooth etc).However I am so paranoid about my dark circles if I dnt wear concealer but when I see others who have it, its looks so normal. I guess it's the 'you look tired' comment I have got ( when I am without concealer) that's made me so self conscious over the years! Loved this video!

Thank you for the tips- to overcome feeling conscious I have started lightly correcting and use a brightener ( to remove the peachiness) and set with a loose dusting of powder- it just takes the edge of the darkness but doesn't cover completely! Slowly reducing the coverage so i can just embrace them! thank you for this helpful video 🙂

    i myself experience an unnecessary degree of under-eye dark circles.. genetics!! the product i use every day is like skincare, super low coverage and light but really takes the edge of the darkness enough for me to feel human and that is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Highlighter in shade 1! i am super fair skinned and age 34.. just make sure you opt for the highlighter and not the full coverage option ( unless that is what you’re looking for ) i don’t leave the house without this product!!! 💕

    I had recently read that mature under eyes (I'm 51) should go with an under eye concealer in a shade closest to your skin tone, rather than one that is too light (which you can still use but just in the inner corner area)...I'm not exactly sure why but the difference was noticeable & flattering. Just throwing it out there.
    I WISH I liked the Sephora concealer...the smell....just why? If it dissipated quickly, fine, but it doesn't...at least for me.

    I live for this. People need to learn the correct way to not pile on makeup and get a beautiful natural look. Have you tried a more green under eye for correction? Just asking because on camera, your under eyes look very red/maroon and green would help cancel. But obviously you are a pro and they are probably more purple then it looks. The orange kind of made a ring around your eye that to me I can notice on camera but again you are a makeup genius and it’s probably flawless in person! Would love to hear your thoughts. Keep it up we love the content! Much respect!
