For every girl with actual dark circles...we needed this content. Not just the review but the mini-rants about supposedly “full coverage” concealers. I’m really here for the irrational level of anger towards the Maybelline age rewind as well...I’ve harboured a quiet rage about it for years 😂
Maybelline age rewind is like a modern scam istg😫😫 they market them for dark circle like they have even an ounce of pigment in it. Crease easily, too sheer, annoying & messy applicator like I want to cover my undereye area not my cheeks too. Hate it with burning passion🙃

I was going to give up on the L’Oréal infallible concealer because it left my under eyes Cakey & tired looking. I held on to that concealer because I LOVE the coverage. I started using elf nourishing oil under my eyes (only a very very small amt, I learned this from Robert Welsh - makeup artist on UA-cam). I dabbed that on and then the L’Oréal infallible and BOOM no cakey tired cracking looking under eyes. I’m soo happy
Thank you so much for this! I can't really afford expensive concealers, and if you have to try every drugstore concealer in order to find one that works, you spend even more. I have undereye circles like yours, so seeing you use these is so helpful for me.
I always get creases underneath my eyes too! So frustrating. After applying my concealer though, I slightly go over those lines with a Q-tip to remove the excess concealer so it is bound to crease less, and of course I always add a translucent powder to set it. This trick does wonders for me.
Please keep the dark circle content coming!!! The ELF concealer is one of my favs. Also really like Covergirl Trueblend Undercover Concealer. I’ve got creases under eye too & always set with a powder. Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder is my favorite drug store setting powder. When you don’t set your concealer do you do a lot of touch ups on your creases??

skorpia g I get that. But at the end of the day, they’re $6. In my opinion, compared to higher end brands (and some drugstore) the $12 spent to find my shade wasn’t bad.
Thank you! I have the 16 he Camo and was literally waiting on my ELF rewards money to load to my cart to buy same shade in the Hydrating. Hella nice timing on yoyr comment... I just went a shade lighter. Btw anyone needs the Loreal Infallible, I just caught it on Amazon for under $5.50. Loved the video... ive got the nuclear natural circles from hell, too.
I really like your videos. You're not the only one that has 'larger eyes' that naturally causes a more sunken, darker under eyes. I've watched you for a very long time and always value your down to earth personality. Thanks for the drugstore comparisons. Saves me time and money!!!
It is a really good one, and I don't set it cause it does not crease at all, at least on me (i have combo skin). I cannot say how it performs in comparison with the one she choose to try except for the revlon one - which is far from good (kinda chalky).
@@cupcakexlindsay I have prominent dark circles and hate using a lot of concealer bc it creases and makes it look worse NO MATTER which concealer it is. So I color correct a bit and then do the rest, it has worked wonders for me. I don't use the catrice one anymore but I'd be curious for what she has to say
The elf camo concealers are my favorite that I’ve ever tried. You can wear it buffed out as your foundation, and then put blush, bronzer, highlight and powder on top. It looks so natural and beautiful.
I love he Elf hydrating Camo in light peach, it like a color corrector and concealer in one for me , I also use the L’Oréal concealer and really like that one too. I agree that age rewind does nothing but brighten.
I have horrific dark circles. The only makeup that truly covers them is Estée Lauder Camouflage foundation. It’s meant for scars. It does not budge nor crease. You don’t need powder to set it. It drys really fast so you have to work quickly.
I adore that you don t yell in your intros and in your videos in general. I am sick and tired of beauty gurus faking their mood and trying so hard to seem excited. I like you so much and you content. You are so soo talented and honest and your blending is extraordinary. ❤❤❤
These concealer videos are so sooo helpful. I'm right there with you: dark circles, deep set more hallow under eye area and a light warm yellow/olive undertone. Plus, setting my concealer always yields a gross, dry cakey mess from desert hell. Even though the Cle de Peau concealer is ridiculously expensive and the shade range sucks... the coverage is good and the texture is nice (requires warming up the product before application). You might wanna check it out. I am always on the hunt for the "perfect" concealer. BTW, I love your delivery, you always make me laugh!
I have not subscribed to anyone's channel for years but I love your videos so much that I'm obsessed and I subscribed straight away! Keep up the good work, you're hilarious.
Your natural dark circles literally look like a look that you can rock like those younger girls that started trending the under eye circles punk look on tik tok.. never would have thought my imperfections would be a trend but here we are and I'm here for it.
My dark circles look like I’ve been punched in the face so finding someone who actually has dark circles trying these concealer is probably the greatest thing I’ve seen all week. Can’t say enough how much I appreciate the realness in this video
That’s how I described how bad my dark circles are. I thought that I was the only one who thought of it visually that way. Watch her colour corrector video as doing that first then concealer makes a difference.
I fully with you on the really dark circle struggle bus! I also have lines under my eyes that I’ve just always have, but I struggle so so much with getting concealers to actually cover the gray cast and not settle... I generally have to settle. 😒 This was a super helpful video though, so thank you for that!!
Jaderia checkout her color corrector video. I just learned about color correctors from her. She explains how they work in one of her “dark undereye” videos. I’m still trying to find a color corrector that works for me but don’t try the Clinique one, it doesn’t work at all ☹️
I tried Revolution Concealer tube, and for me it's the one that works the best. Good coverage and the formula is nice as well. It's not too liquid or too matte. At least , this is what worked for me so far after years of trying different concealers
I adore that you call a spade a spade. No messing or excessive wordage. Great 👍 Being a medium, olive skinned individual, concealers are the bane of my life! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, very much appreciated. 💗💗
I’m not that interested with concealers because i don’t use it, but I watched the video because i love how she speak, talk it’s so natural, no dramas (lol). Now I’m a sub. Love this girl! 🙌🏻
I suffer from the dark circles but I also have the bags with creases... EVERYTHING settles in mine 😔. For me the best results I've gotten so far is to use my Becca color corrector and just take my foundation right up and no concealer... I know... I know... but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
Linda I have waisted sooooo much $ on concealers and setting powder... I even broke down and bought the Pat McGrath under eye powder ( $45 Canadian ) thinking it would help and boy was I wrong 😔... finally when I was in the drug store 2 weeks ago talking to the girl at the cosmetic counter she suggested I try my color corrector and just foundation. Its much better on my eyes.. still not perfect but better then any concealer combination I've tried.
Same problem here. I usually skip concealer. I even tried colour correcting. I find the more product the worse it looks. And I have had this issue even as a teen. I find concealer just draws more attention so I stick to just foundation as well. I will say so far mac pro longwear concealer gives me the best results when I do decide to use concealer.
Vivian thanks for the suggestion I’ll have to try this. I ordered the Becca corrector just yesterday so I’ll have to wait a few more days to receive it. Thanks again.
I love these in depth videos about a particular product. I don't have dark circles... I have been blessed with lots of fine lines around my eyes... booooo!! I'm always looking for different concealers so I really appreciate you!! Have a lovely day!
I love using some of these, especially for those days when I'm in a hurry but just want a little coverage under my eyes, a lot of these do a great job for that... most of these for me (with the exception of the L'oreal one) require color correcting or multiple layers to get the desired coverage I like. Flower actually makes a concealer that is really really good (especially for brightening) and it's called "Light Illusion"... I get mine in the shade light since the undertone works well for me with that one and it does a great job at working with other concealers if I can't do my normal routine but still want to get coverage really quickly. Really enjoy your videos and I get excited when you post new ones; thank you Alex. Keep doing your thing boo!
In terms of drugstore powders, I’ve been really liking the e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder. It’s translucent and doesn’t seem to look chalky. I’m a warm light medium skintone and it’s totally clear and fairly natural looking
Hon - I'm 50 now - I have just tried and tested make up and how to apply it. I have awful bags under my eyes but no wrinkles! I'm guessing you are young so if you want older woman tips - happy to help. YOU have helped for sure! xxx
Laura Spillane you can definitely get e.l.f., Maybelline, L’Oreal and Makeup Revolution in British drugstores 🙂 (I can’t remember which brand is in which store though... it’s been too long since I went shopping in an actual store for make up!), and things like Milani from BeautyBay (that’s actually what I was looking up when I found this video)!
Ugh yes, I hate that Age Rewind shit! I bought 2 because they were on sale, and all my research from reading and watching reviews and talking to friends suggested I was going to love it (huge dark undereye circles, mostly because my undereyes are so sunken and my skin is so pale & cool toned that I end up looking bruised... this has been a thing my whole life, though definitely more so now I’m in my late 30s, and now there are lines to contend with as well! Fillers are definitely on my wish list post-pandemic...). I did not love it. That applicator is so terrible in both shape and size so there’s just no good way to apply the right amount in the right places, and the formulation did very little for my dark circles, just mega-amplified all the lines. I looked terrible and had to take my make up off and start again. I tried it one other time just to be sure, and no. I need to donate that still-sealed one. Bah.
2023 I’m just getting to watch. I love that you show your eyes.I hate my dark circles and literally seeing this I feel less hate. More relate!! Thank you!!❤🎉
THANK YOU! Finally someone with actual dark circles! I looove how I can relate and she doesn't say bullshit about how great the "full coverage" concealers are!
I love your no nonsense, genuine, relatable candor. Another influencer once said how much it helps to find a influencer who's appearance is similar, and GIRL ...I was so happy and subscribed IMMEDIATELY when I found your channel. It was thee best advice, and I value your expertise. So, have to say : fuck yes! Ivory skin, large eyes, dark circle problems!! Lines, creasing holy shit! I'm also here to read the experiences /recommends on your setting powder question. Thank you ladies, imma try out what I've read, this is a huge issue for me. Alex, love what you do, n the way that you do it❤️ thank you❤️
I’ve recently gotten into your channel (thankfully) and I’m so happy to find this video! I have bad dark circles and it’s comforting to see someone else with actual darkness
I have the loreal infallible concealer and it is my favourite full coverage concealer because it completely covers my dark circles (you have to wait a few seconds and then blend it out to get that full coverage). I have the elf hydrating camo satin finish concealer and It honestly doesn't compare to the loreal infallible because it doesn't completely cover my dark circles and it also doesn't blend the greatest either. If you're someone who wants to cover dark circles, the loreal infallible concealer is the best choice for you :)
I love this video. Finally someone with actual dark circles testing concealers. And also you just give off this vibe of being a chill friend that just lays all the info out there.
CATRICE liquid camouflage. Shades are awful here maybe in the US you'll have more, but 020 was fine. Also they have a dropper one that's so thin but really nice. There's a "bisquit" shade in the infallible range and the color is perfect for my light olive skin. For the face during winter and highlight when I'm tan. I have to check out that "cashmere" one
I have that concealer and I like the formula, but the color oxidizes like crazy. That bothers me. I would like to try the elf one, but I'm afraid to see if it oxidizes as well.
I love the coverage of L’Oréal Infallible More Than, but found the formula too drying even with good skin prep. I like the L’Oréal Infallible Concealer Pomade better - it’s more hydrating and I prefer a pot concealer than a doefoot Thanks again for these videos specifically dark circles! It makes me feel better knowing it’s not just me haha! Xx
I have a makeup hack that several of my friends, in their 50’s, swear by for concealer settling in lines and creases under the eyes and other places on their face. They apply Mac Paint Pot on those spots after primer and before any other makeup. I can Not buy any more makeup this month, probably all summer 😬 so I can’t say if this hack works. I’d love to know if you have tried it, or will try it, and how it works for you
I recently discovered your channel and I'm hooked! I have dark circles and deep set eyes just like you and have never found a beauty youtuber with the same "problem". It's really awesome to get tips and tricks from someone who really gets it! Keep up the awesome work!
Aw I love the maybelline age rewind! It doesnt crease into my eye creases, I dont need to use translucent powder, and I am THE ABSOLUTE QUEEN of dark circles and it works good, but I do use a good amount of product!
I use the Maybelline Brightener shade over a tiny amount of the Becca undereye brightening corrector and Neutralizer for any areas on the face. I try not to powder/set it either as that adds a heaviness and cake-like look. I just got a tiny sample of Laura Mercier Secret Blurring powder (compact, not loose), and also need to try a couple of Elf powders: the loose Halo Glow and the Beautifully Bare sheer tint finishing powder in the sliver compact. I'm looking to cover blue veins under my eyes which I've always had, lighten the inner corner of my eyes/neutralize discoloration, and not emphasize any lines in the area at age 50. Lots of trial and error in finding the perfect combination!
Barbra I think the Maybelline Age Rewind is the best, for my undereye situation. I own around 30 concealers at every price point & always go back to Maybelline. Since I’m older (54) My biggest problem is getting concealer worked into the skin & age rewind practically blends itself. I do like the ELF hydrating one for maybe a cut crease or eyelid coverage. Stay TF away from the reg ELF Camo Concealer. It is sooooo freakin thick & very hard to blend. Causes me to break out-even at my age!!
I love how you're actually doing this right!! My dark circle are similar to yours and omgg THANK YOU i might get the elf hydrating concealer and then i'll switch to l'oreal . See which one is better
Great review :D I love love love the fact that she talks about the product based on what she thinks and she actually say "well I don't like it" even if everybody else likes it. So GENIUNE and REAL ! Thank you !
I have fine lines under my eyes and I usually use a bit of concealer and after I blend it in, I pull my eye down a bit so I get rid of the creases and bake. I don't get a lot of creasing throughout the day. I'm guessing because I bake in the actual creases..? I just dust away a bit of the powder after a few minutes bc I mostly just blend it in. Anyway that works for me. I either use the L'oreal infallible concealer or the L'oreal perfect match concealer and bake with a setting or baking powder
love love love this video and all your other ones. i've had undereye lines my whole life that have just started to get a little deeper cause of aging, and I always tried to hide them unsuccessfully. every so often I've searched for years for a video that I could really relate to, and finally found it here. I have learned to accept my lines watching your videos because they just ARE there and there's no getting rid of them, and started understanding the whole thing with the grey casting. thank you so much for your videos.
Hey A! Have you tried the Covergirl Trueblend Undercover Concealer. I have tried all of the Concealers you have tried with the exception of the Morphe, and did not find anything too great. I tried the Covergirl Concealer and WOW, I think personally that it is my dupe for Shape Tape. I'm very fair also and found the Lightest Neutral tone to be absolutely PERFECT. IT IS SO AMAZING!!!! ❤❤
I'm so glad I came across this video, this is the first time I've seen someone with eyes like mine - I have very sunken eyes with thin skin and dark circles underneath, and it really changes the way concealer sits. I'm also really pale, and my eye bags are greyish purple, so the feedback on the actual coverage is super useful.
damn, this is the first time in my life that I've ever watched a dark circle concealer video where someone had dark circles like my own. when I was in 8th grade I bought that Maybelline age rewind bullshit and it didn't do shit for me. I then started buying the NYX $5 concealer but it left a gray cast under my eyes and left me looking a little cakey. tartes shape tape made me feel like I was putting layers of makeup under my eyes and also left a gray cast for me. I still haven't found my perfect concealer. to see someone talk about that annoying shit and review concealers this well has been a struggle to find until now. I'm honestly so glad this video popped up on my home page.

The elf camo concealers are my favorite that I’ve ever tried. You can wear it buffed out as your foundation, and then put blush, bronzer, highlight and powder on top. It looks so natural and beautiful.
You made me wanna buy that Elf concealer and I don't even have any dark circles.
which one you got??Hydrating or the OG?
Her opening "hey", lololol. Totally like we're her best friend who just showed up late for coffee, but she's not going to mention it, haha! Love it!
😂😂😂
I love he Elf hydrating Camo in light peach, it like a color corrector and concealer in one for me , I also use the L’Oréal concealer and really like that one too. I agree that age rewind does nothing but brighten.
I have horrific dark circles. The only makeup that truly covers them is Estée Lauder Camouflage foundation. It’s meant for scars. It does not budge nor crease. You don’t need powder to set it. It drys really fast so you have to work quickly.
Thanks! I got to try it
I got that too. Tbh, it didn't make "wonders" to my under eyes, nor from hydrating nor from coverage.
"And they sent me bleach white" *Adds to cart*
You are not alone
im in love with her omg finally someone who dosent do drama or is loud or over the top and just seems so real and helpful???
Finally a tutorial for dark circles with someone who actually has them !
I adore that you don t yell in your intros and in your videos in general. I am sick and tired of beauty gurus faking their mood and trying so hard to seem excited. I like you so much and you content. You are so soo talented and honest and your blending is extraordinary. ❤❤❤
These concealer videos are so sooo helpful. I'm right there with you: dark circles, deep set more hallow under eye area and a light warm yellow/olive undertone. Plus, setting my concealer always yields a gross, dry cakey mess from desert hell. Even though the Cle de Peau concealer is ridiculously expensive and the shade range sucks... the coverage is good and the texture is nice (requires warming up the product before application). You might wanna check it out. I am always on the hunt for the "perfect" concealer. BTW, I love your delivery, you always make me laugh!
hearing no loud sounds or music at the very beginning is so satisfying to me just a simple “hey” and getting to the point is so nice :)
I have not subscribed to anyone's channel for years but I love your videos so much that I'm obsessed and I subscribed straight away! Keep up the good work, you're hilarious.
😭 Thank you so much Emily! 🙏🏼❤️
Your natural dark circles literally look like a look that you can rock like those younger girls that started trending the under eye circles punk look on tik tok.. never would have thought my imperfections would be a trend but here we are and I'm here for it.
I love how real and chill she is... shes now my new fav to watch!!
I think my favorite part of this is how real you are. Like there’s nothing fancy or fake to it. It’s so real and I love it
The Maybelline Fit Me matte+poreless pressed powder is amazing on my skin
Owen Sinodov yesss
such a wonderful powder, i love it
I love it. And I love the foundation too. It really does fit me. The shade I have is a perfect match for my skintone
My dark circles look like I’ve been punched in the face so finding someone who actually has dark circles trying these concealer is probably the greatest thing I’ve seen all week. Can’t say enough how much I appreciate the realness in this video
That’s how I described how bad my dark circles are. I thought that I was the only one who thought of it visually that way. Watch her colour corrector video as doing that first then concealer makes a difference.
I fully with you on the really dark circle struggle bus! I also have lines under my eyes that I’ve just always have, but I struggle so so much with getting concealers to actually cover the gray cast and not settle... I generally have to settle. 😒 This was a super helpful video though, so thank you for that!!
Jaderia checkout her color corrector video. I just learned about color correctors from her. She explains how they work in one of her “dark undereye” videos. I’m still trying to find a color corrector that works for me but don’t try the Clinique one, it doesn’t work at all ☹️
I tried Revolution Concealer tube, and for me it's the one that works the best. Good coverage and the formula is nice as well. It's not too liquid or too matte. At least , this is what worked for me so far after years of trying different concealers
I adore that you call a spade a spade.
No messing or excessive wordage. Great 👍
Being a medium, olive skinned individual, concealers are the bane of my life!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, very much appreciated. 💗💗
That L'oreal concealer would be perfect if they removed the fragrance from it.
A Peasant Agree... had to return it. My under eye skin was on fire. Went with the Covergirl one instead and it’s great.
Hyram would agree 😂
its straight out alcohol smell i remember when i had it i loved it but the smell.. my eyes got watery everytime
Damn, sorry to hear that you guys. They ruined such a good product with the fragrance, it's a shame.
And didn’t test on animals :(
I’m not that interested with concealers because i don’t use it, but I watched the video because i love how she speak, talk it’s so natural, no dramas (lol). Now I’m a sub. Love this girl! 🙌🏻
I suffer from the dark circles but I also have the bags with creases... EVERYTHING settles in mine 😔. For me the best results I've gotten so far is to use my Becca color corrector and just take my foundation right up and no concealer... I know... I know... but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
Vivian Aulenback I’m with you 100% on the under eye issues, but never thought of not using concealer. Great idea!
Linda I have waisted sooooo much $ on concealers and setting powder... I even broke down and bought the Pat McGrath under eye powder ( $45 Canadian ) thinking it would help and boy was I wrong 😔... finally when I was in the drug store 2 weeks ago talking to the girl at the cosmetic counter she suggested I try my color corrector and just foundation. Its much better on my eyes.. still not perfect but better then any concealer combination I've tried.
Same problem here. I usually skip concealer. I even tried colour correcting. I find the more product the worse it looks. And I have had this issue even as a teen. I find concealer just draws more attention so I stick to just foundation as well. I will say so far mac pro longwear concealer gives me the best results when I do decide to use concealer.
Yep.. was gonna try becca but expensive. I settled on dermacol for all over.. ahhhhh
Vivian thanks for the suggestion I’ll have to try this. I ordered the Becca corrector just yesterday so I’ll have to wait a few more days to receive it. Thanks again.
No drama,no begging for subscriptions,likes and hit the bell icon.
That is called attitude !
"Big, fat, thick, whatever" Doe Foot applicator. I enjoy the drug store reviews. Thank you Alex.
Michaelle I've heard at that size they are known as a buck-foot!
That “hey” caught me off guard for a sec and ... I like that
I love these in depth videos about a particular product. I don't have dark circles... I have been blessed with lots of fine lines around my eyes... booooo!! I'm always looking for different concealers so I really appreciate you!! Have a lovely day!
Her vibes is soo refreshing i loves itttt real, straight to the point, SO INFORMATIVE chill asf🖤
I love using some of these, especially for those days when I'm in a hurry but just want a little coverage under my eyes, a lot of these do a great job for that... most of these for me (with the exception of the L'oreal one) require color correcting or multiple layers to get the desired coverage I like. Flower actually makes a concealer that is really really good (especially for brightening) and it's called "Light Illusion"... I get mine in the shade light since the undertone works well for me with that one and it does a great job at working with other concealers if I can't do my normal routine but still want to get coverage really quickly. Really enjoy your videos and I get excited when you post new ones; thank you Alex. Keep doing your thing boo!
When quarantine’s got me staying way past my usual bedtime because I don’t have to commute to work anymore.. my dark circles NEEDED this!
Gotta say the elf concealer is in my basket because my no.1 adviser on actual dark circles liked it :)
In terms of drugstore powders, I’ve been really liking the e.l.f. Perfect Finish HD Powder. It’s translucent and doesn’t seem to look chalky. I’m a warm light medium skintone and it’s totally clear and fairly natural looking
Got dark circles and divots, am screwed. Thank you for sacrificing your under eye for science!
Hon - I'm 50 now - I have just tried and tested make up and how to apply it. I have awful bags under my eyes but no wrinkles! I'm guessing you are young so if you want older woman tips - happy to help. YOU have helped for sure! xxx
You mentioned wearing full coverage concealers on days you don’t feel like wearing any other makeup. What are some of your favorites for those days?
Would it be possible to do a british drugstore concealer video? Would looooove to see you review concealers I have used/could use.
Laura Spillane you can definitely get e.l.f., Maybelline, L’Oreal and Makeup Revolution in British drugstores 🙂 (I can’t remember which brand is in which store though... it’s been too long since I went shopping in an actual store for make up!), and things like Milani from BeautyBay (that’s actually what I was looking up when I found this video)!
Emma Bailey I mean like commonly used concealers. Like Collection lasting perfection and stuff like that!
I definitely bought the age rewind and makeup revolution concealers because they were so highly talked about on YT. never again.
Julia Taylor Ugh...that Age Rewind...
Ugh yes, I hate that Age Rewind shit! I bought 2 because they were on sale, and all my research from reading and watching reviews and talking to friends suggested I was going to love it (huge dark undereye circles, mostly because my undereyes are so sunken and my skin is so pale & cool toned that I end up looking bruised... this has been a thing my whole life, though definitely more so now I’m in my late 30s, and now there are lines to contend with as well! Fillers are definitely on my wish list post-pandemic...). I did not love it. That applicator is so terrible in both shape and size so there’s just no good way to apply the right amount in the right places, and the formulation did very little for my dark circles, just mega-amplified all the lines. I looked terrible and had to take my make up off and start again. I tried it one other time just to be sure, and no. I need to donate that still-sealed one. Bah.
They absolutely sucked I was furious lmao Whenever most beauty gurus recommend a concealer now I am just like 'yeah right 🙄'.
2023 I’m just getting to watch. I love that you show your eyes.I hate my dark circles and literally seeing this I feel less hate. More relate!! Thank you!!❤🎉
for drugstore powders, the maybelline fit me loose powders are my go to’s! the ELF HD powder is pretty good too
THANK YOU! Finally someone with actual dark circles! I looove how I can relate and she doesn't say bullshit about how great the "full coverage" concealers are!
i feel u should have millions of followers cz stuff u share is so true and straight forward
I absolutely love how you don’t put on a fake personality. Love this review!
I love your no nonsense, genuine, relatable candor. Another influencer once said how much it helps to find a influencer who's appearance is similar, and GIRL ...I was so happy and subscribed IMMEDIATELY when I found your channel. It was thee best advice, and I value your expertise.
So, have to say : fuck yes! Ivory skin, large eyes, dark circle problems!! Lines, creasing holy shit! I'm also here to read the experiences /recommends on your setting powder question. Thank you ladies, imma try out what I've read, this is a huge issue for me.
Alex, love what you do, n the way that you do it❤️ thank you❤️
I’ve recently gotten into your channel (thankfully) and I’m so happy to find this video! I have bad dark circles and it’s comforting to see someone else with actual darkness
I have the loreal infallible concealer and it is my favourite full coverage concealer because it completely covers my dark circles (you have to wait a few seconds and then blend it out to get that full coverage). I have the elf hydrating camo satin finish concealer and It honestly doesn't compare to the loreal infallible because it doesn't completely cover my dark circles and it also doesn't blend the greatest either. If you're someone who wants to cover dark circles, the loreal infallible concealer is the best choice for you :)
I love this video. Finally someone with actual dark circles testing concealers. And also you just give off this vibe of being a chill friend that just lays all the info out there.
CATRICE liquid camouflage. Shades are awful here maybe in the US you'll have more, but 020 was fine. Also they have a dropper one that's so thin but really nice.
There's a "bisquit" shade in the infallible range and the color is perfect for my light olive skin. For the face during winter and highlight when I'm tan. I have to check out that "cashmere" one
I'll have to check that out.
I have that concealer and I like the formula, but the color oxidizes like crazy. That bothers me. I would like to try the elf one, but I'm afraid to see if it oxidizes as well.
I don't even watch makeup videos, but I've been watching yours... You bring alot of value and realism yay!
Can you also try doing this kind of video with "mascaras"
I'm new to your videos and I've gotta say I love how you just jump in, no bullshit, and speak like a normal human. Huge fan.
I love the coverage of L’Oréal Infallible More Than, but found the formula too drying even with good skin prep. I like the L’Oréal Infallible Concealer Pomade better - it’s more hydrating and I prefer a pot concealer than a doefoot
Thanks again for these videos specifically dark circles! It makes me feel better knowing it’s not just me haha!
Xx
Angie I’m in the UK Angie can pick up from a few retailers here - have you tried Amazon I’ve seen it on there x
Thanks for your opinion as I have such a hard time finding something that doesn’t super dye out my super dry skin.
Subscribed because of the “hey”. It was both so real and new. 😂
Frs tho
I have a makeup hack that several of my friends, in their 50’s, swear by for concealer settling in lines and creases under the eyes and other places on their face. They apply Mac Paint Pot on those spots after primer and before any other makeup. I can Not buy any more makeup this month, probably all summer 😬 so I can’t say if this hack works. I’d love to know if you have tried it, or will try it, and how it works for you
I recently discovered your channel and I'm hooked! I have dark circles and deep set eyes just like you and have never found a beauty youtuber with the same "problem". It's really awesome to get tips and tricks from someone who really gets it! Keep up the awesome work!
Aw I love the maybelline age rewind! It doesnt crease into my eye creases, I dont need to use translucent powder, and I am THE ABSOLUTE QUEEN of dark circles and it works good, but I do use a good amount of product!
I use the Maybelline Brightener shade over a tiny amount of the Becca undereye brightening corrector and Neutralizer for any areas on the face. I try not to powder/set it either as that adds a heaviness and cake-like look. I just got a tiny sample of Laura Mercier Secret Blurring powder (compact, not loose), and also need to try a couple of Elf powders: the loose Halo Glow and the Beautifully Bare sheer tint finishing powder in the sliver compact. I'm looking to cover blue veins under my eyes which I've always had, lighten the inner corner of my eyes/neutralize discoloration, and not emphasize any lines in the area at age 50. Lots of trial and error in finding the perfect combination!
Barbra I think the Maybelline Age Rewind is the best, for my undereye situation. I own around 30 concealers at every price point & always go back to Maybelline. Since I’m older (54) My biggest problem is getting concealer worked into the skin & age rewind practically blends itself. I do like the ELF hydrating one for maybe a cut crease or eyelid coverage. Stay TF away from the reg ELF Camo Concealer. It is sooooo freakin thick & very hard to blend. Causes me to break out-even at my age!!
I'm amazed I actually learn from your videos every time. Thank u
Someone finally said it! 20:48 👏👏👏
I love how you're actually doing this right!! My dark circle are similar to yours and omgg THANK YOU i might get the elf hydrating concealer and then i'll switch to l'oreal . See which one is better
Yes! I’m so happy you’re doing another one of these 🤩
Great review :D I love love love the fact that she talks about the product based on what she thinks and she actually say "well I don't like it" even if everybody else likes it. So GENIUNE and REAL ! Thank you !
A youtuber i can pay attention to and not feel like im being SCAMMED 😭😭😭😍
She is so naturally pretty omg
I have fine lines under my eyes and I usually use a bit of concealer and after I blend it in, I pull my eye down a bit so I get rid of the creases and bake. I don't get a lot of creasing throughout the day. I'm guessing because I bake in the actual creases..? I just dust away a bit of the powder after a few minutes bc I mostly just blend it in. Anyway that works for me. I either use the L'oreal infallible concealer or the L'oreal perfect match concealer and bake with a setting or baking powder
love love love this video and all your other ones. i've had undereye lines my whole life that have just started to get a little deeper cause of aging, and I always tried to hide them unsuccessfully. every so often I've searched for years for a video that I could really relate to, and finally found it here. I have learned to accept my lines watching your videos because they just ARE there and there's no getting rid of them, and started understanding the whole thing with the grey casting. thank you so much for your videos.
Hey A! Have you tried the Covergirl Trueblend Undercover Concealer. I have tried all of the Concealers you have tried with the exception of the Morphe, and did not find anything too great. I tried the Covergirl Concealer and WOW, I think personally that it is my dupe for Shape Tape. I'm very fair also and found the Lightest Neutral tone to be absolutely PERFECT. IT IS SO AMAZING!!!! ❤❤
I'm so glad I came across this video, this is the first time I've seen someone with eyes like mine - I have very sunken eyes with thin skin and dark circles underneath, and it really changes the way concealer sits. I'm also really pale, and my eye bags are greyish purple, so the feedback on the actual coverage is super useful.
damn, this is the first time in my life that I've ever watched a dark circle concealer video where someone had dark circles like my own. when I was in 8th grade I bought that Maybelline age rewind bullshit and it didn't do shit for me. I then started buying the NYX $5 concealer but it left a gray cast under my eyes and left me looking a little cakey. tartes shape tape made me feel like I was putting layers of makeup under my eyes and also left a gray cast for me. I still haven't found my perfect concealer. to see someone talk about that annoying shit and review concealers this well has been a struggle to find until now. I'm honestly so glad this video popped up on my home page.
I love you! You remind me of myself with the way you talk, but you are SO talented! I’ve learned so much about makeup from you!
