So, hi everyone! I just wanted to share a fact. We are all at minimum, 50% better looking than we think. Why is this? It's because when we look in the mirror, all we see is our physicality, and especially any imperfections or annoying changes that come with age, hormones, etc. But when other people interact with us, they see a combination of our humor, intelligence, compassion, spirit and looks. You are beautiful, waay more beautiful than you think. Happy new year!!! ❤️
I find that I'm content when I look in the mirror. It's only when I see myself on photos or video, from other angles that I get disheartened. My mirror image is better than my real image.
Very rarely do you run into someone like yourself-a MUA who isn’t just talented, but one who intuitively & inherently understands makeup & face shapes to an uncanny level. Kevyn Aucoin was one, Pat McGrath is one, & so are you. Your tutorials make me grateful for this platform.
He is one of the biggest reasons I could attain my professional makeup skills. He is an unheard of makeup legend! Been tuned into him for almost or over a decade now and he still is as amazing as ever!
I have the roller stones in my fridge that I pull out and use. I literally cannot live without a good under eye GEL patch (ones that actually adhere, aren’t overly saturated and not paper towels etc). And I have my phone set for making a good sleep schedule. If I miss one of these, I can tell. I have had people tell me to get a little filler under my eyes as we loose skin density over time. I just haven’t trusted anyone yet to do fillers. And if I did, less is more would be the rule.
I know I’m early. And somehow, someway, I hope you see this. I just want to say thank you for being such a positive influence in my own life. And also thank you for all the amazing tips and tricks you’ve given me over the years that I intern have given other people. Your existence on this earth probably means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️
Absynth, I agree with you , how beautifully stated. I feel exactly the same way. Wayne, is a generous beautiful soul and I have such gratitude . I have for you as well, you've spoken for many of us. 💯💗
@@WayneGoss Beautiful comment, completely accurate. You are an amazing, kind, intelligent man and we have learned so much from you. Thank you for your incessant kindness and generosity of spirit. You really do mean more to us than you likely know!
New here. Wow. I never watch makeup tutorials due to the typical flashy/showy/cutesy presentation, but this was a breath of fresh air. Simple, direct, practical and chilled. Thank you.😊
I've naturally had these since I was a child (so my entire life). I'm just born with them. So you can imagine my disappointment trying to do the big triangle concealer method nearly every youtuber reccomends. It made me look considerably worse. I learned a few yeats ago that i had to specifically target the indentation/shadow and it's so tricky. But it does help, esp. the more famoloar you get with your own problem areas. Thank you for being one of the few people to share this technique onstead of the other common/ineffective method that os more for dark circles than what i have.
I did find this video very helpful, but for more than one reason. I am 49 and definitely struggling with hollows under the eyes. I don't want to mess with fillers either. This video made me feel so much better about my own issues. While some of it is because I now have a technique to try, a lot of it is because of you yourself, Wayne. You have so often repeated the mantra of embracing aging as part of life, and the gift we have of still being here when so many are not. That really stuck with me. I also realized that while you are really bothered by this it is certainly not as noticeable to others as it to you. That is also reassuring - since I feel like you look amazing, so maybe my own eye bags are not the first thing people notice about me. Thank you for continuing to be honest and vulnerable in a relatable way, and for not hiding behind filters,
Awards should be given, Wayne is the most helpful person in the beauty community!! Always showing the real issues and how to tackle them! Appreciate the candidness, it’s realistic and just relatable way you approach everything. ❤️❤️❤️
The most realistic video out there. A lot of videos show you that you can practically eliminate eye bags, however when you try, it can never be perfect. So we ended up wasting a lot of money and effort trying to achieve perfection that in reality never exists. Your video helped me adjust my expectations rather than buying more concealer.
Aww wayne- makes my heart hurt to hear in your voice how unhappy/frustrated you feel about the under-eye. I hope you know how appreciated you are ..for sharing all your knowledge over the years. You are so valued and I’m v grateful to have found you on this platform even from the very beginning! You’re the best 🤍
Thank you for your honesty on how much these bags are such a problem for you. Spot on for how irritating they really are. If you do get feedback on a "fix", please please post another video. Bags or not, you're still beautiful and I appreciate you.
I'm halfway through and I can see the difference between the side you did and the other. Thank you for being so vulnerable and teaching everyone too :) x
God has the most love for you all never let people tell you God doesn’t love you he understands you and wants you to tell him how you feel the most beautiful thing is he already knows what your gonna say but still listen God knows you better then anything talk to him he’s your father then only one you need if you don’t have one so he has so much love for you when you sun run right back to him he doesn’t want you to be perfect he’s close to the broken hearted he said you since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you I will give people in exchange for your life do not be afraid for I am with you he got you Jesus and God are always here to talk no matter what you did he’s always there Gods your father it’s no one else your gonna need
It’s so funny how we view ourselves. I despise my eye bags , as well. But when I look at you , all I see is your chiseled features and ocean blue eyes. Finding the cure for the issues is within ourselves. See yourself how others see you ❤️
@@asbisi Sometimes yes, but more often - no. Malar bags are definitely a thing of aging, most people who have them, get them in their 40's, I got them at 44. Never had them before. However there are some people who have them at young age or even "from birth" - but this is rare. In most cases it's just getting to the age of 45 or so and here they come. 🙂
I have had these my entire life. All of my children have them as well. I never really gave them any thought but I have learned that most makeup techniques can make them look more prominent. I can’t highlight the top of my cheekbones so I highlight the apples of my cheeks. I appreciate you giving us technical tricks to help us feel more confident.
Had them since I was a baby too. They do bother me, on the other hand, they are part of what makes me me - if that makes sense. I just live with them and try to focus on more positive things.
Sorry guys, I know I'm a bit late but just wanted to say, I get when there is something we don't like on our face it's the first thing we look it amd that stands out when we look in the mirror but before Wayne don't this video and pointed them out I had never seen them before, at all. He just has a good looking face to me. So it'll be like that for you guys as well. You see them but other people dont, think about it, when you look at someone, you see their face as a whole. There are things you don't like that others think are cute as well. Chinese makeup has an eye bag trend, Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about. They draw eye bags in with shadow
I'm turning 40 and I used to wear a lot of makeup, now I wear less makeup because more it makes me look older, so I follow your tips and I love them, they make me feel more confident for my age, which honestly makes me feel depressed to discover more wrinkles and dark circles under my eyes every day, but your tips helps so much! Thank you 🌹
Omg the pores and skin texture is no joke after 40. I used to have the most perfect skin up to my 40s. Now I'm willing to sell my family to get my facial fat, skin elasticity, and tiny pores back.
isn't this so depressing :(( Im also in my 40 and geez the under eye area is the worst. The wrinkles, the bags, the circles ...and i never now how to cover it well. I watched his video years ago and i love him but still don't know how to really do a good job under my eye lol
@@ivonnasercuchowa1361 get a dermatologist to prescribe retin a. I've seen at least a 40-50% improvement on my under eye issues with this. Just remember to saturate your under eyes in hydration every night. I slather on jojoba and vitamin c oil and seal it with vaseline. The improvement in the morning is shocking.
A couple of tips from someone who had a serious undereye filler mishap. First, a bit of gentle lymphatic massage helps depuff in the morning & second, Silc Skin silicone eye patches (I prefer this brand to SIO). I use these patches every morning, as soon as I get up. They act as a sort of "compression garment" for the puffiness under the eye. Leave them on for as long as you can & you will be amazed at the improvement. These patches and your consealer techniques will work wonders.
@@tamikow.5037 I get them on Amazon & reuse them for months. They don't have to be really sticky to work. I wouldn't be without them. Hope they work for you!
Thank you 😊 SO much for this tip. I've had the dark sunken undereye issues since a teen. It's hereditary in my family. I'm excited to try your tip!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
As a long time fan and "student", I tried this technique over the weekend... At 68 years old you need all the tricks you can lay your hands on! Wow - I'm in love with myself again. Thank you Wayne. From an aging hooded eye fan...
I can not thank you enough!!!! You have literally changed the way I feel about my face!!! This video and the one on only applying the concealer at the inside corners (to stop creasing) have been the most helpful makeup advice I've ever received. I have had what I thought were "dark circles" under my eyes since my early teens, and I always slathered the lightest concealer I could find all over my under eye area and couldn't figure out why it never made any difference. And as I got older, the creasing and and settling got worse and worse and I just felt helpless. But it makes so much sense that if you are covering the whole area in the same color concealer, everything is going to maintain the same level of difference in uneven-ness. I paused this video and immediately went to try this and I almost cried at the immediate difference I saw in my face. Thank you so so so much for making this information accessible and understandable. You are a blessing!
The first thing I see every morning are my festoons, they started at 50 and I’m now 60, they come up and down throughout the day, some days are worst than others. I use a cold roller and under eye patches to minimise before going out. I will try this makeup trick though so thank you for sharing.
I work shifts and also had sleep problems often living on 3 to 4 hours sleep a day/night, so after many years I started to get dreadful eyebags. I read that if you raise your bedhead by 6 to 8 inches in time they would slowly go, so I found a few thick paper back books and gave it a try and they did!!! Sleep problems are sorted out too I read about weighted blankets so bought quite a heavy one, which felt kind of odd but I almost instantly felt myself decompress and have slept much better and for longer ever since.
I’ve had filler on my cheekbones but placed deeply and not around the eye. It works wonders and at 60 I have only the slightest bags. One other thing, silicon under eye patches… discovered them a few months ago, they are remarkably effective under my eyes and have further flattened and reduced over night swelling to a level I’ve not had since my 30’s. They’re not sexy, a bit pesky to get used to and they can come off overnight but I think im addicted.
Wayne, I have the exact same issue. What helped me significantly was quiting sugar and carbs and excess salt! I use the same technique that you just demonstrated, very thin layers with very little setting powder, avoiding application of anything directly under the center of my eye in that area. Also, sleeping with my head raised slightly and mostly on my back. These steps really helped improve the appearance of mine. Thanks Wayne, for your lovely suggestions! I will try yours, as well! Cheers!
@@BeeLZBeeb I just eat as healthy as I can and that curbs the desire for junk food. Also, I drink tons of water. I think of food as fuel instead of entertainment so focus more on getting the right fuel into me whether it's particularly tasty or not. When I do eat a candy or cookies, etc. they're too sweet and I usually can't finish them, usually tossing it because the taste isn't worth the cost. I'm not 100% rigid, and when I have a day of eating crappy foods, I make sure I'm still drinking tons of water (helping to flush them away) and start fresh eating right the on the next day. I was eating nothing but chips, candy, cookies etc., out of depression but when I decided to eat for fuel, energy and general well being, my depression improved. That said, I still have a day or so a week where I'll eat anything, in fact today is one of them lol!
Have you found a way to get rid of them? i have genetic malar bags and they make me so insecure we just had a photoshoot for finishing college and all i could see were these annoying bags
@@shinryujinanswermycalls6648 u cant really "get rid of them", but u can manage them. mine seem to look worse when i lack sleep, have too much salt (and dont exercise /sweat it out) etc etc. from what i understand, malar bags are more so retained fluid between broke layers of skin & collagen, sinus issues etc.. most get them via aging. i started getting mine around 41, but i also have chronic sinusitis. surgery isnt a sure fix. as many surgeons haven't mastered that isolated section, minus not having to work on nearby areas, that may not need work. personally, i would just do as the OP suggested. make simple lifestyle changes. then if the "shrunken" malars still bother u, just use make up
Every time I do my makeup, I always hear Wayne’s voice in my head, as if he’s sitting oh my shoulder instructing me as I go! Thank you Wayne for all the amazing and wonderful lessons that really work! You are the BEST❣️🌸👏🌸
Mine annoy the hell out of me too. Peter Thomas Roth instant Eye tightener is a good temporary fix, but works best without moisturizer or concealer. Well heck...😐 When they come up with a good, non invasive solution, I will be first in line!
I’m grateful (!) for your openness about how much this issue upsets you. I feel the same way, and to hear someone else say it with the same level of frustration I have, is refreshing. Thank you.
I absolutely hate my under eye bags its such an insecurity of mine it’s genetic and I can never hide them. However I just watched this and tried it for myself and you can barely tell I’m literally crying right now. Thank you ❤
Yes true said my under eye bage its such an irritating and insecure mine too of it's genetic I can't hide literally my under eye bage are driving me insane Thank you
i know it sounds crazy, but have you tried sinus drainage and flonase? My doctor recently recommended that to me for my eye bags which i thought was strange. However, just one week into it, i'm already seeing results. I've suffered with this my whole adult life
@@treble_clef123 I’ve never had an issue with eye bags until this spring when my allergies flared up. I read that allergies and sinus issues can cause them to puff up- so your doctors suggestions are a good tip to try. I think for a lot of men, like my husband, it is genetic, but it’s worth a try to see what makes them less puffy, like sleeping elevated as someone mentioned in these comments. I know it can be very frustrating as my husband feels like he always looks tired. 😢
I've been doing this technique ever since you taught us a decade ago and it's amazing! I just watched another fairly popular British TH-camr do it and say it was her friend and fellow TH-camrs new technique and said the credit is owed to her. I politely shared that you're the originator of this specific technique from the start. She got upset and told me that "Wayne Goss did not invent the laws of highlighting and contouring." She admitted she has never seen your videos about it, but still didn't believe me. I had no idea giving Wayne credit was offensive to anyone. I only mentioned the specific technique and she's talking about inventing highlighting and contouring. It was strange and didn't make any sense. I've been watching TH-cam from the first year and I constantly searched videos about under eye bags, tear troughs, under eye hollows and concealer techniques for them. I watched all the videos, there weren't that many back then. No one before Wayne taught this technique. I got the Aucoin book when I was a teen, this technique was not in there. I watched pro and celeb muas and they weren't doing this technique. Now influencers are pretending it's their own. I see other people being credited all the time for other techniques like Mary Phillips and KJH, but when I share that Wayne gets the credit for this, they react negatively.
What brand is the pencil? That looks amazing. I have spent a fortune on products for awful under eye products. Thanks for your help. It's hard beating genetics. Lol
I was simply amazed at how immediate I could see the difference. With all of the technology, skincare products, and procedures, you would think there was something that could rid the bags. I know they really bother you. But, believe me when I say you're a beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
Wayne, you worry too much. You are very good looking and I’m sure your eye bags are not even noticeable to other people. Sometimes we have to remember that nobody is perfect, and you have taught techniques to many people that use them to better their appearance. I like your videos for being honest and personal and very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for being a beautiful person who is willing to discuss and show your imperfections - I watch all your videos and have never noticed this issue under your eyes - you are more than capable of letting on that your appearance is flawless. No one is really flawless; however, and this is so helpful for those of us who look at the beautiful people on TH-cam and believe that no one else has insecurities or issues. Thank you so much for being real - showing us how to be more comfortable in our own skin - never shying away from the beauty of added years - and making it seem achievable to be imperfect and beautiful at the same time ❤️
Been watching your videos for years. You’re so pleasant, kind and so talented at what u do. You know how to give advice to different people with different issues. Thank you, this video really helped.
I am truly grateful as a 32 year old man that has very deep set eyes, bedroom eyes, and as I age the festoons have become pretty much the only thing about myself that bothers me. This is a huge help and thank you as always for your positive outlook and at least you are a well aged wine and don’t have valleys for under eyes at 32 lol ❤️❤️
I watched this twice just now. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years (about age 70) I've developed these "bags", more prominent under the left eye. I think I remember a previous video of yours that lightly touched upon this but wasn't specifically dedicated to this technique. I've been trying to watch myself when applying concealer under the eyes and not apply it on the bags. It's a hard habit to break, but I am working on it. Thank you, Wayne, for this more in depth tutorial.
Hey all. Like Wayne I've become fixated on these malar bags/festoons and this video was so helpful. Thank you. I've started to use oregano oil (mixed with vitamin e oil) and this has helped too (go easy on the oregano oil though and never use without a carrier oil!) Good luck to all those who have these unsightly bags and to next person who says "you look tired!" Get lost! ❤
I have never before commented on a video, but really want to thank you for sharing this Wayne, your honesty is so refreshing and I feel your pain! This subject doesn't seem to be commonly dealt with in tutorials as there really is no quick fix. I have taken care of my skin for as long as I can remember and at 59 barely have a wrinkle, however the onset of these dreadful malar bags has really knocked my confidence and totally agree with what you say about swapping them for wrinkles! I find mine are worse if I don't drink enough water, but that aside there doesn't seem to be much else that has a lessening effect. Thanks again, it's been very helpful to see how you deal with the problem.
I LOVE these sorts of videos. I find them so helpful. I understand the concept of light brings forward, shadow pushes back, but seeing it done somehow helps so much.
I really like the subtlety of the solutions you present - just playing with light and shadow and an instant result without creating an artificial mask. Love it!
A few newer non-invasive treatments that look promising: - Doxycycline or tetracycline injections - Radiofrequency treatments I can say that personally sinus rinsing twice a day with a neti pot or similar has helped mine, some people also find that allergy medications reduce swelling. Thank you for your lovely tutorials and explanations!
I was actually wondering about this since they seem to be right in front of the sinuses. I was thinking inflammation might be a factor, if not in causing it, exacerbating it.
I am very grateful for this tutorial. I do have bags and am constantly trying to cover the entire area. I do not want fillers because I think it makes it look worse. I can't wait to try this method you have shown us. I love watching your videos because I learn so much from them.
Yesssss! I Got fillers and it was horrible!! It looked hell of worse…I had to go back several times to get them removed. I’ve been doing facial yoga- its a long process, but I’ve seen great results over the last year. This video is very helpful too.
Helpful ...doesn't begin to describe how much I appreciate your advice on this. Like you, my eye bags really trouble me, I'm 60 now and still shudder inside whenever anyone gets a camera out!! Learning to do facial massage helps to drain them and reduce them, but not remove them and has to be done daily....its probably easier to disguise them. You rock!
THANK YOU..THANK YOU.. I too feel so subconscious about my bags...but in addition I have dark circles. I wouldn't consider cosmetic surgery , first because of my age and secondly because I couldn't afford a good one. When I watch tutorials and the ladies eye area look so smooth and flawless it's a bit discouraging. I LOVE the way you explain everything so thoroughly. I respect and admire you so. Thank you again
I really have high praises for you, I love the fact that you are "real" about issues women have, also the respect about your honesty about products without name bashing the company..you are genuine and I really love your vids, they completely changed the way I do my makeup on "mature" skin, all your tips helped me so much, I can't believe how I literally took years off my face! Thankyou, you are amazing!
I have never once noticed this issue on you! I always just see how calm, kind and sharply witty you seem, as well as obviously creative and talented. I know we all have something we’d like to fix (poochy chin here! ✋) but I’ll bet when you’re in motion during the day, talking and smiling, not one person ever sees it! ❤
I feel like with your videos that aging is just more fun. I learn so much from you about looking at my actual face and highlighting the positives of it while creating a natural look. Bare in mind I'm 30 and blessed with good genes. But you can already tell better where I'll have wrinkles in less then 10 years even if I up my skin care routine. I come from a place like 10 years ago that I was scared to see any sign of aging in the future. Through knowledge and acceptance and a healthier view on myself I know sit here looking forward to staying chill because I learn from you. Thank you Wayne.
Appreciate you, Wayne...you're so good at what you do, and you communicate so well. You have such a humility and kindness about you that is both welcoming and encouraging.
Thank you for this -- It can be really discouraging to watch TH-cam videos of people applying concealer to perfect undereyes and when I feel I am never getting a nice look. This is really helpful.
I had filler done for my under eye area by someone notoriously skilled for that specific problem and it's taken 10 years off. I was scared i'd get sausage rolls but luckily it was done perfectly and you can't tell at all (dermatologist in Belgium in case you want her credentials). Also want to say I have been following you from the start and just LOVE your no-nonsense, in-depth knowledge, charm and taste. Your brushes are amazing too. ✊I've learnt tons from you and i now try to incorporate the things you do that i admire and respect so much into my own little channel. Love you always Wayne ❤️
Thank you so very much for sharing this tutorial!! I hate those festoons & malar myself (now I know what to call them!). I’m going to try this trick right now & look forward to seeing if anyone has other suggestions for dealing with them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us & have a wonderfully amazing day!!
When I had my hooded eyelid “fixed”, my surgeon said that he could remove the lower bags. He did such a good job on my eyelids that I’ve been half considering it. I love your videos.
I had it all done and it was amazing. It was in 2006 in Atlanta. I never regretted the surgery. It made a huge difference in my looks and self confidence.
A PS filled this area for me in Sydney. It was incredible, no more darkness, no more crevice and shadow. But it was very expensive and only lasted 4 months. He is extremely skilled in general, a sculptor. But I agree, many people will never be skilled enough to fill this area perfectly. There’s an extremely skilled ocular PS in NYC, Dr Amiya Prasad. He has even come up with a technique for bleph under the eye WITHOUT any incision. You can be awake, or twighlight sedation. Another amazing sculptor and artist. These people are genius level. Also Dr Anil Rajani in Portland is very big on latest eye rejuvenation. Plasma eyes looks amazing. You can consult with these people online and I’m sure they could help. They’re into and even developing some of the latest techniques.
I struggled covering dark circles for years and just couldn’t figure out why they looked worse. Then I watched a tutorial you video posted years ago and was so excited it worked. I didn’t even realize the difference between bags and circles until your tutorial. It was a life changer for me and I’ve watched your videos since. Thank you
Amen! Seems like most apply concealers I,2,3 different colors and takes forever. Pat with powder, on & on. I don’t have discoloration, I have circles ! Where are the circle videos? 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😜
You are so handsome, so smart and so freaking helpful. I've learned more, from your videos than I have my X-amount of years of makeup. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. And trust me nobody looks at them bags. They're too busy looking at your brilliant smile and beautiful eyes. 💖
Hi Wayne! I have festoons too, and my youngest has had them since around age six. They are not related to gravity as some stated, but a collection of fluid. Some people have good results with lasers in this area. I have had the best results with a great sleep schedule and eating a healthy, organic diet that isn't inflammatory- for instance, my festoons are always prominent after I drink or eat sushi.
Hey I know this is an old video, but a new treatment, doxycycline injections in the malar bag (not fillers) have been shown to greatly reduce it. The mechanism of action is not understood yet, but it likely scleroses the fat pad. I got 1 treatment, and they significantly improved the malar bags, and am going to get another one because getting it done twice helps a lot more
Thank you for this! I will be trying these tips. I also want to say that I love your honesty. You aren’t working magic. This makes your advice even more real to me. Thanks again!
@Wayne I don't know if you will see this comment, as you did this video a year ago. There is a way to reduce bags by just using 1tsp baking soda with water to make a paste, put it under the eyes, let it dry and then gently wipe off. This really works!
This is so helpful and timely! Your brush looks like it gives just the right amount of product/placement for this technique! I love your candid reviews and how you are encouraging us to be real and not the instagrammed filters we see everywhere. ❤️
You definetly helped me with the previous videos about concealing without creasing, now I'm feeling young and fresh in makeup again, I was almost giving up of it (even tho I love it) because it was making me feel and look older. Means a lot to me, really thank you.
I really needed this video in my life. At the age of 50, these suddenly popped up on my under eyes, I hate them. You have been an inspiration to me for many years now. Your tips and tricks have helped me so much in my facial matters of life. God Bless You ❤
Appreciate you sharing this technique. At age 53, I’m definitely dealing with this along with deep eye hollows (hereditary along with age) and dark circles. I agree about not getting fillers as I’ve seen how they can make the issue worse over time and even if you try to dissolve them, the filler never completely goes away. I, too, would love to know of any treatments that are effective without negative side effects.
I’m also 53 and I was born with those eyes. Very puffy lower lids and hollows underneath them have always made my face odd. As a thin child, my face looked very fat. In my 20s, I’d frequently get told I looked like Susan Sarandon. She’s a gorgeous woman, but also 25 years older than us. When you’re not even 30, it’s not great getting told you lol 50. I had no wrinkles, just these eyes. I have had some success with threads and use them if I have a wedding coming up. They’re not a permanent fix, but they have an instant improvement as well as the longer lasting effects of collagen boost under the skin. There is a minimal pinching feeling as the needle pierced the skin (usual after lidocaine cream or injection, I use cream because what’s the point of looking to numb the pinch of poking 🤷🏻♀️). The procedure is in office and very quick. I no longer do it regularly because I only leave the house about 4-5 times a year, unless it’s to the hospital. I’d seriously look into it at med-spas or plastic surgeon’s. The nurse practitioner can perform the service. There’s no need for a surgeon.
I’m also 53, with deep hollows and blu-ish purple circles. I wake up puffy and often use a jade roller to smooth out the under eye bags, which helps but deepens the color of the circles. Hydration of the skin and color correcting + concealer helps somewhat but I’ll be honest, I’ve given up on making them truly disappear. On a positive note, I’ve never heard the dark hollows called “festoons” and now I feel like here is a bit of a party on my face 😊.
Drinking water and NO salt in your diet!!! Throw away the salty chips! Also ice cold spoons out of the freezer gently place on your eyes and if not allergic, rub cold aloe vera gently under your eyes am and pm. and of course concealer and make up, This has helped me a lot !!
I have inherited my dads awful under eye bags. Surgery is my only fix. Drink too much water, and you'll end up hospitalized with low sodium levels. I plan on having mine fixed by a doctor. No one else is touching them.
Do you put the concealer on top of the foundation? Something I find helps this is using the mini-trampoline 10 minutes a day. It gets the lymph fluid moving and helps get rid of puffiness from fluid. It's very beneficial to the body. Astronauts use the trampoline in rehabilitation for muscle and bone loss.
@@emsa5034 You can get mini trampolines with side bars to keep your balance. I put our exercise bike in front of my trampoline and lightly hold onto it to keep my balance. Even 5 minutes a day helps. You can go on youtube and find all kinds of beginner rebound exercise videos. It's really good for other kinds of health too. Astronauts lose muscle and bone in space and part of their rehabilitation is using a trampoline to build muscle and bone.
Wayne, thank you for being so amazing and helpful. I really appreciate your mild manner and wonderful makeup advice.. especially as it relates to improving the look of our skin as it ages. Mine is just starting to show my age, and that’s such a difficult thing emotionally, and you’ve really helped me be able to accept it and embrace it knowing that makeup is still going to be fun as i age.. i just need to change my technique a little bit 😜 this comment probably sounds stupid but again, thanks Wayne. You’re the best.
Wayne, I appreciate how honest you are and how realistic you keep your advice. I have this same issue and yes, it is my nemesis - FAR more so than wrinkles, I concur 100%. Overall my skin looks pretty good for my 50+ age, BUT for these damn bags that make me look tired. I find a light dab of translucent powder is an essential step for me to blur them out as best possible - def makes a noticeable difference. Thanks for the tip. 👍😊💖
Thank you for this; I think about my under eyes every single day 💔 I totally agree that I'd do away with my bags before my wrinkles, any day. I'd look awake for a change!
Thank you Wayne! I'm 66 now, and any remedy is WELCOME :). I am amazed at how little things help all around, and I feel more comfortable "in my own skin." You look marvelous by the way!
Thank you for this! I've had "eye bags" my entire life. I'm only in my 30s, but I stopped wearing contacts in my 20s because people always thought I was exhausted or sick even when I was well-rested, and I didn't know how to properly cover them. Now with needing to wear a mask at work, though, I'm back to wearing contacts again, so I look forward to trying this out next week.
Yes I find when I wear contacts, my eyes get all wrinkly, baggy and watery in the wrong places and dry where they should be moist. I very rarely wear them now because of the daily wear and tear on my eyes. I cant get the laser surgery either. Roll on the day when some modern technique arrives to bring our eyesight back - apparently it is out there, we're just not being shown it.
@@jaygirl6868 I have some friends who've had good luck with Lasik, but I'm too scared to try given the things that could go wrong haha. Oh well. With the vision issues I have, my doctor has told me that contacts will work better to preserve my vision than glasses, so I might be more inclined to wear them if Wayne's technique works for me!
Thank you for putting a name to a problem I've had for 10 years or more! Mine are a little red and so I assumed they were linked to the slight rosacea I have. I've tried using green concealer and skin tone concealer so I now realise why I've not had much success. As always your insight and practical advice is wonderful!
Thank you, Wayne. My under eye hallows bother me a lot too. My video lighting hides how bad it is. Your techique here really helps. I think a fractional laser treatment may help it a bit also. I would love to try that someday.
I have been dealing with the same problem for a few years. Like you say, it's irritating. It has lowered my self-esteem , and I feel ugly. I have the feeling that people look at me and think the same. I cannot afford surgery, so I am going to try your technique to try to camouflage it and maybe feel a little better about myself. So, thank you for sharing your technique with us.
THIS WORKS!!!!! If you’re watching or trying this truck you’re gonna love it. I tried tiny dots directly on the line of the shadows and I had literally nothing else on my face I was just trying it for fun and OMG IT WORKSSSSSSS 🎉 LOVE YOU WAYNE❤️
Wayne I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. I just received Desert Blossom in the mail and working on uploading a video soon. It is gorgeous 😍 And your Edit brushes completely changed my eyeshadow game. Thank you for being such a 💎 inside and out!
Years ago I ran into your youtube channel when I was looking for exactly this. It has always been hard for me to hide my eye bags... hereditary. I have had eye bags since I turned 13!!! Imagine that! So I just want to send you lots of love because of that first video. I saw one when you got filler...and Now I see this one... and it just makes me appreciate you even more. I too hope to find a non filler/surgical solution. I tried the Thomas Peter Roth eye firming cream. It firms the under eye buy I can't used makeup under or over it. And if it overdries there is a white residue you have to constantly moisten again. I feel your frustration in this videos because as a 36 yr old... I shouldn't be struggling for years over this. But makeup helps, your techniques help, and in the end, the day goes on and we keep living. 💗
Thank you - I am trying this technique tomorrow and I just bought the CT Beautiful Skin Foundation as well. You are a great teacher! Having to relearn makeup as I get older, especially around eye area - always a challenge but slowly getting better with instruction.
I actually just spoke to my Dermatologist about this. I’m not a candidate for fillers as my skin is too thin in that area. She said that PRP treatment helps build collagen in the trough area.
I’d be really interested in a video advising on blush placement for people with these issues. I’ve had these horrors for 20 years, and I’m only 41 and I completely share your feelings on them!
@Wayne Goss Thank you Thank you so much. . I have been killing myself from past few weks more this to a point where I decided to go for much hyped Hydra facial and chemical peel.. tried so many makeup tutorials but all made my eyes look smaller and more puffy.. that statement of yours that the aim is to lightern and the fact we can't completely get rid of it, solved everything for me. I now know less is more and it will not be perfect but better. Thank you again
So, hi everyone! I just wanted to share a fact. We are all at minimum, 50% better looking than we think. Why is this? It's because when we look in the mirror, all we see is our physicality, and especially any imperfections or annoying changes that come with age, hormones, etc. But when other people interact with us, they see a combination of our humor, intelligence, compassion, spirit and looks. You are beautiful, waay more beautiful than you think. Happy new year!!! ❤️
Oh my God…I needed this so much. God Bless You. This was beautifully said. And Happy New Year to you too❤
I find that I'm content when I look in the mirror. It's only when I see myself on photos or video, from other angles that I get disheartened. My mirror image is better than my real image.
That was so sweet of you to say.. Bless your heart
I need to hear this. Bless you
@@sugargliderdreams this is a scientific fact! 💞
Very rarely do you run into someone like yourself-a MUA who isn’t just talented, but one who intuitively & inherently understands makeup & face shapes to an uncanny level. Kevyn Aucoin was one, Pat McGrath is one, & so are you. Your tutorials make me grateful for this platform.
I totally agree with you. Make up artistry has lost a lot of basic skill around face shape, light and shade and enhancing natural beauty.
He is one of the biggest reasons I could attain my professional makeup skills. He is an unheard of makeup legend! Been tuned into him for almost or over a decade now and he still is as amazing as ever!
Anna!! Yessss!!! I agree. And Kevyn - yes!!!! You spoke my truth. 🥰💃🏽💄😍
Tips to reduce malar bags: Reduce the salt in your diet, do not sleep on your face, and facial massage (Gua Sha)
I have the roller stones in my fridge that I pull out and use. I literally cannot live without a good under eye GEL patch (ones that actually adhere, aren’t overly saturated and not paper towels etc). And I have my phone set for making a good sleep schedule. If I miss one of these, I can tell.
I have had people tell me to get a little filler under my eyes as we loose skin density over time. I just haven’t trusted anyone yet to do fillers. And if I did, less is more would be the rule.
I know I’m early. And somehow, someway, I hope you see this. I just want to say thank you for being such a positive influence in my own life. And also thank you for all the amazing tips and tricks you’ve given me over the years that I intern have given other people. Your existence on this earth probably means more than you’ll ever know. ❤️
That is a VERY very kind thing to say. Thank you xx
Absynth, I agree with you , how beautifully stated. I feel exactly the same way. Wayne, is a generous beautiful soul and I have such gratitude . I have for you as well, you've spoken for many of us. 💯💗
@@WayneGoss how much does it cost for a one to one??? Do you do personal bookings?
That is so lovely and very true i like many others have learnt alot from wayne over the years 😀 thank you wayne
@@WayneGoss Beautiful comment, completely accurate. You are an amazing, kind, intelligent man and we have learned so much from you. Thank you for your incessant kindness and generosity of spirit. You really do mean more to us than you likely know!
New here. Wow. I never watch makeup tutorials due to the typical flashy/showy/cutesy presentation, but this was a breath of fresh air. Simple, direct, practical and chilled. Thank you.😊
I agree completely.
I've naturally had these since I was a child (so my entire life). I'm just born with them. So you can imagine my disappointment trying to do the big triangle concealer method nearly every youtuber reccomends. It made me look considerably worse. I learned a few yeats ago that i had to specifically target the indentation/shadow and it's so tricky. But it does help, esp. the more famoloar you get with your own problem areas. Thank you for being one of the few people to share this technique onstead of the other common/ineffective method that os more for dark circles than what i have.
“Irritating vileness” is the absolute best way to describe them.
:)
Dead! 😂🤣😅
Right?!? I laughed out loud 😂 Love you Wayne, I’ve learned so much from you 💫
Lmao. I feel it about mine bags
Yup.
I did find this video very helpful, but for more than one reason. I am 49 and definitely struggling with hollows under the eyes. I don't want to mess with fillers either. This video made me feel so much better about my own issues. While some of it is because I now have a technique to try, a lot of it is because of you yourself, Wayne. You have so often repeated the mantra of embracing aging as part of life, and the gift we have of still being here when so many are not. That really stuck with me. I also realized that while you are really bothered by this it is certainly not as noticeable to others as it to you. That is also reassuring - since I feel like you look amazing, so maybe my own eye bags are not the first thing people notice about me. Thank you for continuing to be honest and vulnerable in a relatable way, and for not hiding behind filters,
@Tara Doring Thank you so much!
Amen to this!
Agreed.
beautifully said!
Just wait til you're 59. Ugh. That's where I'm at.
Awards should be given,
Wayne is the most helpful person in the beauty community!!
Always showing the real issues and how to tackle them! Appreciate the candidness, it’s realistic and just relatable way you approach everything.
❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate that thank you xx
I totally agree, many thanks Wayne from across the pond🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
The most realistic video out there. A lot of videos show you that you can practically eliminate eye bags, however when you try, it can never be perfect. So we ended up wasting a lot of money and effort trying to achieve perfection that in reality never exists. Your video helped me adjust my expectations rather than buying more concealer.
Aww wayne- makes my heart hurt to hear in your voice how unhappy/frustrated you feel about the under-eye. I hope you know how appreciated you are ..for sharing all your knowledge over the years. You are so valued and I’m v grateful to have found you on this platform even from the very beginning! You’re the best 🤍
Thank you for your honesty on how much these bags are such a problem for you. Spot on for how irritating they really are. If you do get feedback on a "fix", please please post another video. Bags or not, you're still beautiful and I appreciate you.
I'm halfway through and I can see the difference between the side you did and the other. Thank you for being so vulnerable and teaching everyone too :) x
God has the most love for you all never let people tell you God doesn’t love you he understands you and wants you to tell him how you feel the most beautiful thing is he already knows what your gonna say but still listen God knows you better then anything talk to him he’s your father then only one you need if you don’t have one so he has so much love for you when you sun run right back to him he doesn’t want you to be perfect he’s close to the broken hearted he said you since you are precious and honored in my sight and because I love you I will give people in exchange for your life do not be afraid for I am with you he got you Jesus and God are always here to talk no matter what you did he’s always there Gods your father it’s no one else your gonna need
It’s so funny how we view ourselves. I despise my eye bags , as well. But when I look at you , all I see is your chiseled features and ocean blue eyes. Finding the cure for the issues is within ourselves. See yourself how others see you ❤️
I know i have had bags and circles all my life. As wayne is talking im saying but you are so gorgeous!
So true and well said.
I really hope that he read this message
I hate my huge bags as well but people eventually see your soul instead of your physical features, if you are a kind soul that is what they will see!❤
I agree. I was just telling someone the other day, I wish we could all see ourselves through the eyes of someone else.
I just love it when you show tricks to correct signs os aging. A true artist. No facetune here, just art.
I agree totally!
This isn´t exactly a sign of aging. People who have these have them from birth. They are not under-eye bags, but rather a part of your features.
@@asbisi Sometimes yes, but more often - no. Malar bags are definitely a thing of aging, most people who have them, get them in their 40's, I got them at 44. Never had them before. However there are some people who have them at young age or even "from birth" - but this is rare. In most cases it's just getting to the age of 45 or so and here they come. 🙂
I have had these my entire life. All of my children have them as well. I never really gave them any thought but I have learned that most makeup techniques can make them look more prominent. I can’t highlight the top of my cheekbones so I highlight the apples of my cheeks. I appreciate you giving us technical tricks to help us feel more confident.
Same. Have had mine since childhood also.
Had them since I was a baby too. They do bother me, on the other hand, they are part of what makes me me - if that makes sense. I just live with them and try to focus on more positive things.
I am struggling with this problem with age. I tried all the camouflage techniques …nothing works.
Sorry guys, I know I'm a bit late but just wanted to say, I get when there is something we don't like on our face it's the first thing we look it amd that stands out when we look in the mirror but before Wayne don't this video and pointed them out I had never seen them before, at all. He just has a good looking face to me. So it'll be like that for you guys as well. You see them but other people dont, think about it, when you look at someone, you see their face as a whole. There are things you don't like that others think are cute as well. Chinese makeup has an eye bag trend, Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about. They draw eye bags in with shadow
A plastic surgeon told me the bags are caused from allergies . He has his 16 year old son had then as well . Who knew .
'Festoons' is an amazing name for these. That's cheered me right up!
I'm turning 40 and I used to wear a lot of makeup, now I wear less makeup because more it makes me look older, so I follow your tips and I love them, they make me feel more confident for my age, which honestly makes me feel depressed to discover more wrinkles and dark circles under my eyes every day, but your tips helps so much! Thank you 🌹
Omg the pores and skin texture is no joke after 40. I used to have the most perfect skin up to my 40s. Now I'm willing to sell my family to get my facial fat, skin elasticity, and tiny pores back.
@@lisettes.9598 🙌🏻🤣
isn't this so depressing :(( Im also in my 40 and geez the under eye area is the worst. The wrinkles, the bags, the circles ...and i never now how to cover it well. I watched his video years ago and i love him but still don't know how to really do a good job under my eye lol
@@ivonnasercuchowa1361 get a dermatologist to prescribe retin a. I've seen at least a 40-50% improvement on my under eye issues with this. Just remember to saturate your under eyes in hydration every night. I slather on jojoba and vitamin c oil and seal it with vaseline. The improvement in the morning is shocking.
@@lisettes.9598 could you please share the % of your retin-a and how did you incorporate the jojoba and vit c with retin-a. Thanks!
A couple of tips from someone who had a serious undereye filler mishap. First, a bit of gentle lymphatic massage helps depuff in the morning & second, Silc Skin silicone eye patches (I prefer this brand to SIO). I use these patches every morning, as soon as I get up. They act as a sort of "compression garment" for the puffiness under the eye. Leave them on for as long as you can & you will be amazed at the improvement. These patches and your consealer techniques will work wonders.
Great tips, thanks!
@@teri2466 👍
@@cherpeters8775 where you buy the patches?
@@tamikow.5037 I get them on Amazon & reuse them for months. They don't have to be really sticky to work. I wouldn't be without them. Hope they work for you!
Thank you 😊 SO much for this tip. I've had the dark sunken undereye issues since a teen. It's hereditary in my family. I'm excited to try your tip!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
As a long time fan and "student", I tried this technique over the weekend...
At 68 years old you need all the tricks you can lay your hands on!
Wow - I'm in love with myself again.
Thank you Wayne.
From an aging hooded eye fan...
I can not thank you enough!!!! You have literally changed the way I feel about my face!!! This video and the one on only applying the concealer at the inside corners (to stop creasing) have been the most helpful makeup advice I've ever received. I have had what I thought were "dark circles" under my eyes since my early teens, and I always slathered the lightest concealer I could find all over my under eye area and couldn't figure out why it never made any difference. And as I got older, the creasing and and settling got worse and worse and I just felt helpless. But it makes so much sense that if you are covering the whole area in the same color concealer, everything is going to maintain the same level of difference in uneven-ness. I paused this video and immediately went to try this and I almost cried at the immediate difference I saw in my face. Thank you so so so much for making this information accessible and understandable. You are a blessing!
The first thing I see every morning are my festoons, they started at 50 and I’m now 60, they come up and down throughout the day, some days are worst than others. I use a cold roller and under eye patches to minimise before going out. I will try this makeup trick though so thank you for sharing.
I work shifts and also had sleep problems often living on 3 to 4 hours sleep a day/night, so after many years I started to get dreadful eyebags. I read that if you raise your bedhead by 6 to 8 inches in time they would slowly go, so I found a few thick paper back books and gave it a try and they did!!! Sleep problems are sorted out too I read about weighted blankets so bought quite a heavy one, which felt kind of odd but I almost instantly felt myself decompress and have slept much better and for longer ever since.
I’ve had filler on my cheekbones but placed deeply and not around the eye. It works wonders and at 60 I have only the slightest bags. One other thing, silicon under eye patches… discovered them a few months ago, they are remarkably effective under my eyes and have further flattened and reduced over night swelling to a level I’ve not had since my 30’s. They’re not sexy, a bit pesky to get used to and they can come off overnight but I think im addicted.
What sweet, encouraging man. So understanding and skilled
Wayne, I have the exact same issue. What helped me significantly was quiting sugar and carbs and excess salt! I use the same technique that you just demonstrated, very thin layers with very little setting powder, avoiding application of anything directly under the center of my eye in that area. Also, sleeping with my head raised slightly and mostly on my back. These steps really helped improve the appearance of mine. Thanks Wayne, for your lovely suggestions! I will try yours, as well! Cheers!

@@BeeLZBeeb I just eat as healthy as I can and that curbs the desire for junk food. Also, I drink tons of water. I think of food as fuel instead of entertainment so focus more on getting the right fuel into me whether it's particularly tasty or not. When I do eat a candy or cookies, etc. they're too sweet and I usually can't finish them, usually tossing it because the taste isn't worth the cost. I'm not 100% rigid, and when I have a day of eating crappy foods, I make sure I'm still drinking tons of water (helping to flush them away) and start fresh eating right the on the next day.
I was eating nothing but chips, candy, cookies etc., out of depression but when I decided to eat for fuel, energy and general well being, my depression improved. That said, I still have a day or so a week where I'll eat anything, in fact today is one of them lol!
Have you found a way to get rid of them? i have genetic malar bags and they make me so insecure we just had a photoshoot for finishing college and all i could see were these annoying bags
@@shinryujinanswermycalls6648 u cant really "get rid of them", but u can manage them. mine seem to look worse when i lack sleep, have too much salt (and dont exercise /sweat it out) etc etc. from what i understand, malar bags are more so retained fluid between broke layers of skin & collagen, sinus issues etc.. most get them via aging. i started getting mine around 41, but i also have chronic sinusitis. surgery isnt a sure fix. as many surgeons haven't mastered that isolated section, minus not having to work on nearby areas, that may not need work. personally, i would just do as the OP suggested. make simple lifestyle changes. then if the "shrunken" malars still bother u, just use make up
I just love how real you are❤
Every time I do my makeup, I always hear Wayne’s voice in my head, as if he’s sitting oh my shoulder instructing me as I go! Thank you Wayne for all the amazing and wonderful lessons that really work! You are the BEST❣️🌸👏🌸
Mine annoy the hell out of me too. Peter Thomas Roth instant Eye tightener is a good temporary fix, but works best without moisturizer or concealer. Well heck...😐
When they come up with a good, non invasive solution, I will be first in line!
I’m grateful (!) for your openness about how much this issue upsets you. I feel the same way, and to hear someone else say it with the same level of frustration I have, is refreshing. Thank you.
I absolutely hate my under eye bags its such an insecurity of mine it’s genetic and I can never hide them. However I just watched this and tried it for myself and you can barely tell I’m literally crying right now. Thank you ❤
Yes true said my under eye bage its such an irritating and insecure mine too of it's genetic I can't hide literally my under eye bage are driving me insane Thank you
i know it sounds crazy, but have you tried sinus drainage and flonase? My doctor recently recommended that to me for my eye bags which i thought was strange. However, just one week into it, i'm already seeing results. I've suffered with this my whole adult life
@@treble_clef123 do you go to a doctor to do this or you do it yourself?
@@shinryujinanswermycalls6648 I do it myself. My doctor is the one who told me to do it
@@treble_clef123 I’ve never had an issue with eye bags until this spring when my allergies flared up. I read that allergies and sinus issues can cause them to puff up- so your doctors suggestions are a good tip to try. I think for a lot of men, like my husband, it is genetic, but it’s worth a try to see what makes them less puffy, like sleeping elevated as someone mentioned in these comments. I know it can be very frustrating as my husband feels like he always looks tired. 😢
I've been doing this technique ever since you taught us a decade ago and it's amazing! I just watched another fairly popular British TH-camr do it and say it was her friend and fellow TH-camrs new technique and said the credit is owed to her. I politely shared that you're the originator of this specific technique from the start. She got upset and told me that "Wayne Goss did not invent the laws of highlighting and contouring." She admitted she has never seen your videos about it, but still didn't believe me.
I had no idea giving Wayne credit was offensive to anyone. I only mentioned the specific technique and she's talking about inventing highlighting and contouring. It was strange and didn't make any sense.
I've been watching TH-cam from the first year and I constantly searched videos about under eye bags, tear troughs, under eye hollows and concealer techniques for them. I watched all the videos, there weren't that many back then. No one before Wayne taught this technique.
I got the Aucoin book when I was a teen, this technique was not in there. I watched pro and celeb muas and they weren't doing this technique. Now influencers are pretending it's their own. I see other people being credited all the time for other techniques like Mary Phillips and KJH, but when I share that Wayne gets the credit for this, they react negatively.
What brand is the pencil? That looks amazing. I have spent a fortune on products for awful under eye products. Thanks for your help. It's hard beating genetics. Lol
@@elizabethlane9706 Are you referring to the 'pencil' Wayne is using? If so, it's a brush dipped in concealer.
I was simply amazed at how immediate I could see the difference. With all of the technology, skincare products, and procedures, you would think there was something that could rid the bags. I know they really bother you. But, believe me when I say you're a beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
Hello Lisa
Wayne, you worry too much. You are very good looking and I’m sure your eye bags are not even noticeable to other people. Sometimes we have to remember that nobody is perfect, and you have taught techniques to many people that use them to better their appearance. I like your videos for being honest and personal and very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for being a beautiful person who is willing to discuss and show your imperfections - I watch all your videos and have never noticed this issue under your eyes - you are more than capable of letting on that your appearance is flawless. No one is really flawless; however, and this is so helpful for those of us who look at the beautiful people on TH-cam and believe that no one else has insecurities or issues. Thank you so much for being real - showing us how to be more comfortable in our own skin - never shying away from the beauty of added years - and making it seem achievable to be imperfect and beautiful at the same time ❤️
😊
Wayne Goss is incredible.
it literally looked like he was 'erasing' the shadow under his eyes.
God,
what talent!
💙💙💙
Been watching your videos for years. You’re so pleasant, kind and so talented at what u do. You know how to give advice to different people with different issues. Thank you, this video really helped.
I am truly grateful as a 32 year old man that has very deep set eyes, bedroom eyes, and as I age the festoons have become pretty much the only thing about myself that bothers me. This is a huge help and thank you as always for your positive outlook and at least you are a well aged wine and don’t have valleys for under eyes at 32 lol ❤️❤️
God bless the lovely people who tell us they are 'bedroom eyes' rather than "You look tired"!!
I watched this twice just now. Unfortunately, in the last couple of years (about age 70) I've developed these "bags", more prominent under the left eye. I think I remember a previous video of yours that lightly touched upon this but wasn't specifically dedicated to this technique. I've been trying to watch myself when applying concealer under the eyes and not apply it on the bags. It's a hard habit to break, but I am working on it. Thank you, Wayne, for this more in depth tutorial.
I'm approaching my mid-60s, and I'm finding the same thing. Now I just have to see if he's got one for marionette lines.
@@TallWillow1 Actually the same technique applies for any wrinkles on the face. And instead of a concealer you can apply a brightening powder.
@@ionescuelectra thanks!
Your lucky that you have developed these bags at about 70!! I am 46 and have them !
i agree with you..mine bother me too, i wear glasses its so great , cuz they get hidden with the frame!
Where has this been all my life? You are so talented, Wayne! Thank you. All your tips are life changing.
Hey all. Like Wayne I've become fixated on these malar bags/festoons and this video was so helpful. Thank you. I've started to use oregano oil (mixed with vitamin e oil) and this has helped too (go easy on the oregano oil though and never use without a carrier oil!) Good luck to all those who have these unsightly bags and to next person who says "you look tired!" Get lost! ❤
The illusions of makeup are endless..thank you for another trick to help us feel better about our flaws.
I have never before commented on a video, but really want to thank you for sharing this Wayne, your honesty is so refreshing and I feel your pain! This subject doesn't seem to be commonly dealt with in tutorials as there really is no quick fix. I have taken care of my skin for as long as I can remember and at 59 barely have a wrinkle, however the onset of these dreadful malar bags has really knocked my confidence and totally agree with what you say about swapping them for wrinkles! I find mine are worse if I don't drink enough water, but that aside there doesn't seem to be much else that has a lessening effect. Thanks again, it's been very helpful to see how you deal with the problem.
I LOVE these sorts of videos. I find them so helpful. I understand the concept of light brings forward, shadow pushes back, but seeing it done somehow helps so much.
I really like the subtlety of the solutions you present - just playing with light and shadow and an instant result without creating an artificial mask. Love it!
Your new background makes everything you say so clear. A picture, or video, is worth a thousand words.
I was just getting ready and I was feeling insecure about this area. Just your tips, your energy, and kindness helped so much. Love to you. Xo
A few newer non-invasive treatments that look promising:
- Doxycycline or tetracycline injections
- Radiofrequency treatments
I can say that personally sinus rinsing twice a day with a neti pot or similar has helped mine, some people also find that allergy medications reduce swelling.
Thank you for your lovely tutorials and explanations!
I was actually wondering about this since they seem to be right in front of the sinuses. I was thinking inflammation might be a factor, if not in causing it, exacerbating it.
I am very grateful for this tutorial. I do have bags and am constantly trying to cover the entire area. I do not want fillers because I think it makes it look worse. I can't wait to try this method you have shown us. I love watching your videos because I learn so much from them.
Absolutely right. I got fillers and looked worse and more expensive.
Try derma-roller at home.
@@Sansaar1331 Thanks for sharing this information!
Yesssss! I Got fillers and it was horrible!! It looked hell of worse…I had to go back several times to get them removed. I’ve been doing facial yoga- its a long process, but I’ve seen great results over the last year. This video is very helpful too.
Helpful ...doesn't begin to describe how much I appreciate your advice on this. Like you, my eye bags really trouble me, I'm 60 now and still shudder inside whenever anyone gets a camera out!! Learning to do facial massage helps to drain them and reduce them, but not remove them and has to be done daily....its probably easier to disguise them. You rock!
THANK YOU..THANK YOU..
I too feel so subconscious about my bags...but in addition I have dark circles.
I wouldn't consider cosmetic surgery , first because of my age and secondly because I couldn't afford a good one.
When I watch tutorials and the ladies eye area look so smooth and flawless it's a bit discouraging.
I LOVE the way you explain everything so thoroughly.
I respect and admire you so.
Thank you again
I really have high praises for you, I love the fact that you are "real" about issues women have, also the respect about your honesty about products without name bashing the company..you are genuine and I really love your vids, they completely changed the way I do my makeup on "mature" skin, all your tips helped me so much, I can't believe how I literally took years off my face! Thankyou, you are amazing!
I have never once noticed this issue on you! I always just see how calm, kind and sharply witty you seem, as well as obviously creative and talented. I know we all have something we’d like to fix (poochy chin here! ✋) but I’ll bet when you’re in motion during the day, talking and smiling, not one person ever sees it! ❤
I feel like with your videos that aging is just more fun. I learn so much from you about looking at my actual face and highlighting the positives of it while creating a natural look.
Bare in mind I'm 30 and blessed with good genes. But you can already tell better where I'll have wrinkles in less then 10 years even if I up my skin care routine. I come from a place like 10 years ago that I was scared to see any sign of aging in the future. Through knowledge and acceptance and a healthier view on myself I know sit here looking forward to staying chill because I learn from you. Thank you Wayne.
Appreciate you, Wayne...you're so good at what you do, and you communicate so well. You have such a humility and kindness about you that is both welcoming and encouraging.
Wayne you are awesome! I could listen to you all day long ❤
Thank you for this -- It can be really discouraging to watch TH-cam videos of people applying concealer to perfect undereyes and when I feel I am never getting a nice look. This is really helpful.
Hello Becky
I had filler done for my under eye area by someone notoriously skilled for that specific problem and it's taken 10 years off. I was scared i'd get sausage rolls but luckily it was done perfectly and you can't tell at all (dermatologist in Belgium in case you want her credentials). Also want to say I have been following you from the start and just LOVE your no-nonsense, in-depth knowledge, charm and taste. Your brushes are amazing too. ✊I've learnt tons from you and i now try to incorporate the things you do that i admire and respect so much into my own little channel. Love you always Wayne ❤️
Can you tell me her name please?
@@corina.grindeanu Dr. Isabella Cervini
Thank you so very much for sharing this tutorial!! I hate those festoons & malar myself (now I know what to call them!). I’m going to try this trick right now & look forward to seeing if anyone has other suggestions for dealing with them. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us & have a wonderfully amazing day!!
You are beautiful naturally Wayne!
Hi Wayne, you're a beautiful person with or without what you perceive to be facial flaws. Thank you for being you.
When I had my hooded eyelid “fixed”, my surgeon said that he could remove the lower bags. He did such a good job on my eyelids that I’ve been half considering it. I love your videos.
who did you go to?
I had it all done and it was amazing. It was in 2006 in Atlanta. I never regretted the surgery. It made a huge difference in my looks and self confidence.
@@glendagrant9042 what is it called
Upper and lower blepharoplasty.
A PS filled this area for me in Sydney. It was incredible, no more darkness, no more crevice and shadow. But it was very expensive and only lasted 4 months. He is extremely skilled in general, a sculptor. But I agree, many people will never be skilled enough to fill this area perfectly. There’s an extremely skilled ocular PS in NYC, Dr Amiya Prasad. He has even come up with a technique for bleph under the eye WITHOUT any incision. You can be awake, or twighlight sedation. Another amazing sculptor and artist. These people are genius level. Also Dr Anil Rajani in Portland is very big on latest eye rejuvenation. Plasma eyes looks amazing. You can consult with these people online and I’m sure they could help. They’re into and even developing some of the latest techniques.
Hi..who was it that treated you in Sydney?
@@crowe286 Dr Paul Gerarchi in Double Bay
@@crowe286 Sorry hon, I just fixed the spelling of his surname
I’ve seen dr Amiya Prasad for hair loss prp. He’s a nice guy.
@@misterscruffle He seems lovely.
I struggled covering dark circles for years and just couldn’t figure out why they looked worse. Then I watched a tutorial you video posted years ago and was so excited it worked. I didn’t even realize the difference between bags and circles until your tutorial. It was a life changer for me and I’ve watched your videos since. Thank you
Which video was it? I'm still trying to figure this out, hah
Amen! Seems like most apply concealers I,2,3 different colors and takes forever. Pat with powder, on & on. I don’t have discoloration, I have circles ! Where are the circle videos? 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😜
You are so handsome, so smart and so freaking helpful. I've learned more, from your videos than I have my X-amount of years of makeup. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. And trust me nobody looks at them bags. They're too busy looking at your brilliant smile and beautiful eyes. 💖
I have these horrid festoons. Your video has really helped me.
Appreciate your time and way of dealing with these horrid bags.
Thank you
Hi Wayne! I have festoons too, and my youngest has had them since around age six. They are not related to gravity as some stated, but a collection of fluid. Some people have good results with lasers in this area. I have had the best results with a great sleep schedule and eating a healthy, organic diet that isn't inflammatory- for instance, my festoons are always prominent after I drink or eat sushi.
I learned to use a matte highlight to reduce the appearance of those and the ones by the nose.
Hey I know this is an old video, but a new treatment, doxycycline injections in the malar bag (not fillers) have been shown to greatly reduce it. The mechanism of action is not understood yet, but it likely scleroses the fat pad. I got 1 treatment, and they significantly improved the malar bags, and am going to get another one because getting it done twice helps a lot more
Did you get a second one, if so what were your results, I am getting my first injection in a couple of weeks. Did you have any down time. Thanks
Hey. Did you get your 2nd? Would love to hear your results
Thank you for this! I will be trying these tips. I also want to say that I love your honesty. You aren’t working magic. This makes your advice even more real to me. Thanks again!
You're so real and genuine ...I learn more from you than from anyone else !
Here's to You ! 🍾
@Wayne I don't know if you will see this comment, as you did this video a year ago. There is a way to reduce bags by just using 1tsp baking soda with water to make a paste, put it under the eyes, let it dry and then gently wipe off. This really works!
This is so helpful and timely! Your brush looks like it gives just the right amount of product/placement for this technique! I love your candid reviews and how you are encouraging us to be real and not the instagrammed filters we see everywhere. ❤️
You definetly helped me with the previous videos about concealing without creasing, now I'm feeling young and fresh in makeup again, I was almost giving up of it (even tho I love it) because it was making me feel and look older. Means a lot to me, really thank you.
I really needed this video in my life. At the age of 50, these suddenly popped up on my under eyes, I hate them.
You have been an inspiration to me for many years now. Your tips and tricks have helped me so much in my facial matters of life.
God Bless You ❤
I love you! Your tutorials are short and sweet, so many tutorials go on forever and I get bored thank you for making makeup fun!
Appreciate you sharing this technique. At age 53, I’m definitely dealing with this along with deep eye hollows (hereditary along with age) and dark circles. I agree about not getting fillers as I’ve seen how they can make the issue worse over time and even if you try to dissolve them, the filler never completely goes away. I, too, would love to know of any treatments that are effective without negative side effects.
I’m also 53 and I was born with those eyes. Very puffy lower lids and hollows underneath them have always made my face odd.
As a thin child, my face looked very fat. In my 20s, I’d frequently get told I looked like Susan Sarandon. She’s a gorgeous woman, but also 25 years older than us. When you’re not even 30, it’s not great getting told you lol 50. I had no wrinkles, just these eyes.
I have had some success with threads and use them if I have a wedding coming up. They’re not a permanent fix, but they have an instant improvement as well as the longer lasting effects of collagen boost under the skin. There is a minimal pinching feeling as the needle pierced the skin (usual after lidocaine cream or injection, I use cream because what’s the point of looking to numb the pinch of poking 🤷🏻♀️). The procedure is in office and very quick. I no longer do it regularly because I only leave the house about 4-5 times a year, unless it’s to the hospital.
I’d seriously look into it at med-spas or plastic surgeon’s. The nurse practitioner can perform the service. There’s no need for a surgeon.
@@MichiaMakes Susan Sarandon had those eyes even as a very young woman and was considered very attractive, so you are in quite good company.
I'm 41 and i have them half of my life, all eye area, i don't care about the wrinkles but this is depressing me a lot
I’m also 53, with deep hollows and blu-ish purple circles. I wake up puffy and often use a jade roller to smooth out the under eye bags, which helps but deepens the color of the circles. Hydration of the skin and color correcting + concealer helps somewhat but I’ll be honest, I’ve given up on making them truly disappear. On a positive note, I’ve never heard the dark hollows called “festoons” and now I feel like here is a bit of a party on my face 😊.
Doing yoga particularly inversions helps with drainage :)
Drinking water and NO salt in your diet!!! Throw away the salty chips! Also ice cold spoons out of the freezer gently place on your eyes and if not allergic, rub cold aloe vera gently under your eyes am and pm. and of course concealer and make up, This has helped me a lot !!
You need some salt to retain the water. Otherwise a lot of it is just going to be expelled
I have inherited my dads awful under eye bags. Surgery is my only fix. Drink too much water, and you'll end up hospitalized with low sodium levels. I plan on having mine fixed by a doctor. No one else is touching them.
My”baggage” is a family thing--diet has nothing to do with it
Do you put the concealer on top of the foundation? Something I find helps this is using the mini-trampoline 10 minutes a day. It gets the lymph fluid moving and helps get rid of puffiness from fluid. It's very beneficial to the body. Astronauts use the trampoline in rehabilitation for muscle and bone loss.
I would DEFINITELY fall off of a mini trampoline. Hell I fall off a regular trampoline without a net 🤣
@@emsa5034 You can get mini trampolines with side bars to keep your balance. I put our exercise bike in front of my trampoline and lightly hold onto it to keep my balance. Even 5 minutes a day helps. You can go on youtube and find all kinds of beginner rebound exercise videos. It's really good for other kinds of health too. Astronauts lose muscle and bone in space and part of their rehabilitation is using a trampoline to build muscle and bone.
THANK YOU!! it just makes sense..... eliminate the darkness...and it really makes a difference! You look great and very good looking!
Love your honesty, can really relate to the intensity of your own dislike...funnily enough your loveliness radiates as a result 🙏
Wayne, thank you for being so amazing and helpful. I really appreciate your mild manner and wonderful makeup advice.. especially as it relates to improving the look of our skin as it ages. Mine is just starting to show my age, and that’s such a difficult thing emotionally, and you’ve really helped me be able to accept it and embrace it knowing that makeup is still going to be fun as i age.. i just need to change my technique a little bit 😜 this comment probably sounds stupid but again, thanks Wayne. You’re the best.
Wayne, I appreciate how honest you are and how realistic you keep your advice. I have this same issue and yes, it is my nemesis - FAR more so than wrinkles, I concur 100%. Overall my skin looks pretty good for my 50+ age, BUT for these damn bags that make me look tired. I find a light dab of translucent powder is an essential step for me to blur them out as best possible - def makes a noticeable difference. Thanks for the tip. 👍😊💖
Thank you for this; I think about my under eyes every single day 💔 I totally agree that I'd do away with my bags before my wrinkles, any day. I'd look awake for a change!
Omg he is so funny. Love his expertise and tasteful looks!
Thank you Wayne! I'm 66 now, and any remedy is WELCOME :). I am amazed at how little things help all around, and I feel more comfortable "in my own skin." You look marvelous by the way!
Thank you for this! I've had "eye bags" my entire life. I'm only in my 30s, but I stopped wearing contacts in my 20s because people always thought I was exhausted or sick even when I was well-rested, and I didn't know how to properly cover them. Now with needing to wear a mask at work, though, I'm back to wearing contacts again, so I look forward to trying this out next week.
Yes I find when I wear contacts, my eyes get all wrinkly, baggy and watery in the wrong places and dry where they should be moist. I very rarely wear them now because of the daily wear and tear on my eyes. I cant get the laser surgery either. Roll on the day when some modern technique arrives to bring our eyesight back - apparently it is out there, we're just not being shown it.
@@jaygirl6868 I have some friends who've had good luck with Lasik, but I'm too scared to try given the things that could go wrong haha. Oh well. With the vision issues I have, my doctor has told me that contacts will work better to preserve my vision than glasses, so I might be more inclined to wear them if Wayne's technique works for me!
Thank you for putting a name to a problem I've had for 10 years or more! Mine are a little red and so I assumed they were linked to the slight rosacea I have. I've tried using green concealer and skin tone concealer so I now realise why I've not had much success. As always your insight and practical advice is wonderful!
Thank you, Wayne. My under eye hallows bother me a lot too. My video lighting hides how bad it is. Your techique here really helps. I think a fractional laser treatment may help it a bit also. I would love to try that someday.
Thanks lovely :)
I have been dealing with the same problem for a few years. Like you say, it's irritating. It has lowered my self-esteem , and I feel ugly. I have the feeling that people look at me and think the same.
I cannot afford surgery, so I am going to try your technique to try to camouflage it and maybe feel a little better about myself. So, thank you for sharing your technique with us.
THIS WORKS!!!!! If you’re watching or trying this truck you’re gonna love it. I tried tiny dots directly on the line of the shadows and I had literally nothing else on my face I was just trying it for fun and OMG IT WORKSSSSSSS 🎉 LOVE YOU WAYNE❤️
Wayne I just wanted to say thank you for all you do. I just received Desert Blossom in the mail and working on uploading a video soon. It is gorgeous 😍 And your Edit brushes completely changed my eyeshadow game. Thank you for being such a 💎 inside and out!
Thank you Wayne…I deal with these also 🙁. xo p
Facial exercises can improve dramatically this problem. I know it did for me 😉
Years ago I ran into your youtube channel when I was looking for exactly this. It has always been hard for me to hide my eye bags... hereditary. I have had eye bags since I turned 13!!! Imagine that! So I just want to send you lots of love because of that first video. I saw one when you got filler...and Now I see this one... and it just makes me appreciate you even more. I too hope to find a non filler/surgical solution. I tried the Thomas Peter Roth eye firming cream. It firms the under eye buy I can't used makeup under or over it. And if it overdries there is a white residue you have to constantly moisten again. I feel your frustration in this videos because as a 36 yr old... I shouldn't be struggling for years over this. But makeup helps, your techniques help, and in the end, the day goes on and we keep living. 💗
Thank you - I am trying this technique tomorrow and I just bought the CT Beautiful Skin Foundation as well. You are a great teacher! Having to relearn makeup as I get older, especially around eye area - always a challenge but slowly getting better with instruction.
I actually just spoke to my Dermatologist about this. I’m not a candidate for fillers as my skin is too thin in that area. She said that PRP treatment helps build collagen in the trough area.
I’d be really interested in a video advising on blush placement for people with these issues. I’ve had these horrors for 20 years, and I’m only 41 and I completely share your feelings on them!
Me too. They're horrible!
Me too at 42.
Is there a type of concealer that works better, such as a cream vs. a liquid?
Thanks for all your great tips!
Cream is generally more precise in application
ELF flawless brightening concealer. Thank me later.
@@WayneGoss what is the concealer pencil you use in this video?
Yes what concealer are u using THANK U I KNOW YOUR STRUGGLE PERSONALLY UGH ..mines from sun damage
@@JuxJacy Bye bye under eye by IT cosmetics has been the only concealer that works for me. Pricey but goodness it works!
I picked up this very trick from this video! It works! Everytime I use my concealer this way, I am so thankful for Wayne!
@Wayne Goss Thank you Thank you so much. . I have been killing myself from past few weks more this to a point where I decided to go for much hyped Hydra facial and chemical peel.. tried so many makeup tutorials but all made my eyes look smaller and more puffy.. that statement of yours that the aim is to lightern and the fact we can't completely get rid of it, solved everything for me. I now know less is more and it will not be perfect but better. Thank you again
