Thanks for watching Glam Fam! I hope that you enjoyed this video. If you like under eye content, I think that you may find this video super helpful to watch next: **How to Cover Up Under Eye Dark Circles & Stop Concealer from Creasing in Wrinkles| NO FILTER! ua-cam.com/video/RKIEzC4PfSs/v-deo.html
I swear by the Catrice True Skin concealer.....I am a 50 year old woman and most concealers will crease on me....This one is full coverage, looks natural, doesn't crease, and is so beautiful. It is also only $7.00 on Amazon. I have tried so many concealers (including high end like Haus Labs, Natasha Denona, and Laura Mercier) and this one beats them all.
I'm honestly glad you've addressed the "clean makeup" scam. Not possible for ANY makeup product to be clean, if only due to the fact that (a) there are massive factories which are producing this stuff (how "clean" can a factory actually be??) and (b) ANY makeup product which is produced en masse is highly.processed and this cannot be "clean". Seriously, the only makeup which could be considered clean would be not makeup: berries for lip and cheek color, soot for eyelashes, etc.
I'm 71 and have great skin, hardly any lines and just now getting a little under-eye discoloring. I've tried so many concealers and they ALLLLLL crease! I've given up on them, BUT I found that using the Tirtir cushion foundation in my under-eye area is doing the trick. I go lightly with my pinky finger and only in the areas where I need it. I don't particularly like the Tirtir on my entire face, but as a concealer, YES! You look super cute today!
I, just like everyone else have a problem with concealers accenting my wrinkles. I am 62 years old and have melasma along with wrinkles under my eyes. I recently ordered the sample kit of Tir Tir red on Amazon for $1.50. I used one of the lighter colors as a concealer under my eyes and it worked so well!, I moisturized with a little HA gel then applied the foundation with a concealer brush just under the eye area with a concealer brush and then a little powder. I think I have found my holy grail! The coverage was great and it did not accent any wrinkles and no caking. I am thrilled with the results!
ANASTASIA EYE PRIMER - it is transparent white, dries fast, matte finish - USE IT VERY SPARINGLY & ONLY WHERE NEEDED MOST - use a very small brush to apply. Apply your favorite under eye concealer over the primer - use a small brush to apply & lightly tap with your finger if needed. I have 60 year old dark circles on drier skin - this is my go to for complete cover that doesn’t appear heavy. I do not powder unless I am going to an event. Lancôme (in the tube) & Smashbox Becca are my faves.
Hi Gabbie. I love the cameras you use and that you have real skin with pores. You’re not afraid to show your imperfections, and that’s really admirable. That’s why I trust your reviews.👍👏👏 I’m really tired of these filters some influencers use and have perfect skin. Almost AI looking. You’re truly genuine and fun to watch. Thank you. 😊
It is a SOLID concealer. I made this video several weeks ago and since then, I've used a lot of the concealers in my day to day life and that one may actually be my favourite of the entire haul.
I like that you are honest and down to earth. You are one of my favorites because I've bought so much over false hype and you don't do that and I appreciate that. Keep being you!
Your darkness isn’t too bad. Mine is 3 times worse. What is the best for really dark circles? NEED HELP!😮 If possible, show it on someone who has bad circles. Thx
Gabi, thank you for taking all this time to do this BIG test! You save us tons on money (and hateful speech to our mirrors when one doesn't perform well!) and I really appreciate it. And I LOVE your top!!!! Did you twist the sleeve like that? It's so unique!
Thanks for doing this & especially for showing in natural lighting. I've been using the trueskin & butterglow over elfs corrector. I appreciate you being with us !
Thank you for sharing this video. This is interesting as some of us may struggle with finding the right concealer. Also, your makeup looks beautiful and your hair too.😊
This is possibly the Best run down of drugstore concealers I’ve seen. I’m an older gal with under eye wrinkles and some crepey eyelids but no darkness, your comments were very appreciated. It’s overwhelming how many products are out there and understandably it’s not one size fits all! BTW Elf Camo was a huge fail for me and I couldn’t understand why when sooo many UTubers loved it. Thank You Gabi 🫶🏻
Agree with you both regarding Elf camo concealer. The shades were so off I can't even say anything about coverage or creasing because I couldn't use it. It is clown makeup! I like a lot of elf products, but this one is a dud.
Gabi, your hair looks absolutely stunning in this video!!! ( It always looks great, but this style is I think my favorite on you!!)...Thank you for your videos, they are always helpful:)
Great info, thank you! Unfortunately it didn't help me find something that will work for me. I have HORRIBLE dark circles + outer eye corners as well. Deep troughs. Even dark eyelids. A few but not many fines lines even though I'm old-LOL I keep trying and trying all kinds of color correctors and concealers, different combos, etc. Nothing seems to work. Right now I'm using the ELF hydrating camo which I got in a shade that was WAY to light for me even though I have light skin. The only thing I can say about the kaolin is I think THAT is what makes it stick. Once I put this on and it dries down, it doesn't seem to budge. I noticed it did really cover the darkness so I went over it with the same concealer in a darker color. Ok, that's a little better. Then I put my Drmtlgy color corrector (which almost matches my skin tone) Even better. The pressed Revolution light peach powder in to set. Not bad but now I have 4 products under my eyes and it feels heavy. I've followed so many videos-some even worse dark circles than mine but it still never satisfies me. I don't know what to do anymore...defeated old lady of 61.
You are 100% spot on, Gabi….”clean” makeup is pure marketing. If you think back to the 70s and 80s, Cover Girl was the OG using “Clean Makeup” in their marketing campaigns. Back then it promoted a minimalistic look using models like Cheryl Tiegs and Christy Brinkley and had that Noxzema (face cleaner) smell. That’s because Noxzema and Cover Girl were made by the Noxell Chemical Corporation, now known as Noxell Corporation. More marketing. Today Clean Makeup doesn’t have preservatives and they turn rancid quickly. While it is turning rancid, you may not smell it but still use it on your face and around your eyes. Eeew. I think that is worse.
I have med/dry skin that does not retain moisture without help and I have noticed that the foundations and concealers that I have tried and loved that did not dry out or separate did not have hyaluronic acid in them. It seems like that would be a good ingredient but its tendency to steal moisture from the skin makes it a likely culprit for separating and drying. I also have noticed that concealers I loved had silicones in them as they seem to do smoothing and blurring, but also occluding moisture. I do not believe I have ever tried foundation or concealer with kaolin in it and I'm glad to know that it dries the skin out so I can avoid it. Other humectants like panthenol, squalene, and allantoin are better skincare ingredients to find in foundation and concealer 🙂
Great video, I hope you do a deep dive video on primers. Should we invest or not? Is it just a good skincare routine we really need? The beauty industry is flooded with primers nowadays.
Gabi - You look absolutely wonder. Your hair, make up, and the orange outfit looks great on you. Thank you for always giving your honest opinion on products.
I pair the Bare with Me with NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop foundation (to mix the colors and formulas) and I love it 😍 I actually used the Aquaphor balm as a base underneath because the foundation is more drying on my skin
Appreciated this video so much. I’ve owned and tried the Elf, Revlon Flex, Age Rewind, & NYX and I can make them all work on my old under eyes by setting with a light application of powder but my favorite less expensive concealer is the Catrice HD Hydrating concealer. It’s a medium coverage that dries down and doesn’t need powder or crease into wrinkles. I had hoped you’d include it in this video to see what you think.
I have heard so many things about the Catrice one! They don't have it in Canada (at least I've never seen it) so I couldn't purchase it but maybe I'll order it online!
I tried L'oreal Infallible in 340 Fawn years ago.I loved the shade, coverage, & fragrance. Unfortunately, it got crackly under my eyes midday. The fragrance also irritated my eyes. So I just use it elsewhere on my face. Revlon is a difficult brand to shade match for me so I've skipped their last few releases. I'm also not wowed by Maybelline Instant Age Rewind for undereyes but love both Light Honey & Honey for contouring. Thanks for all the info, Gabi!😘
Omg your hair and that top you are wearing wow your gorgeous 😊so many concealers I have don’t work will have to try NYX 😊thanks for sharing your thoughts on the concealers 😊
Well done, Gabi! I love how you show concealers from the same brand side-by-side - it's how we actually see them on display in stores, and I've spent alot of time trying to decide which product in a brand I should buy. I didn't see Flower Beauty's Get Real Serum Concealer in your comparison; it's a very popular product here in the US, (and one of my favorites) and I'm guessing maybe its availability in Canada is not so great -? Thanks for the video!
Hey! Thank you for the feedback. I am so glad that you found it helpful! I have never heard of that product before so it must not be available in Canada. A lot of people asked me about Catrice too but we also don't have that.
First I want to say that you are incredibly good at making videos. You are careful with your content and the way you test the products is super good. I have not tested them all, because not all of them can be bought in Norway. But I use maybelline as you tested and like it, and I also use Estee Laurder Double Wear Stay In Place Concealer. It's thin but I think it brightens and covers my blue rings. I also have oily skin. Heard a lot about Nars' concealer. Have you tested it?
Thank you so much for your enlightening video Gabby. Have you tried kokie be bright illuminating concealer? This stuff is great. I am mature, and it is so ptetty. It is medium coverage, and so brightening!
Great video!! Thank you Gabi. Undereye bags can be reduced with lots of hydration. Not sure if your hubby is like mine, who needs reminding to drink his water. 😉
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for making this video! I've been using the maybelline instant rewind for years but, now you've shown me options and I legit have to run out and try some!
ALSO!!! I seriously appreciate your honest opinions on which concealers are good for dark circles (which I massively have) and which are good for the lines and wrinkles which I'm just starting to get under the eyes 😭Its all new for me so I've been struggling with the under eye make up.
Thank you for this video. It's always hard for me to find a concealer that will cover my hollows (and I want to try doing it without a corrector). This certainly broke my choices down.
I love your hair! Mine is the same length. I also have an Airwrap, but it's a bit hard for me to do this hairstyle. Could you please make a video showing how to do it?
The problem I have with all of the drug store concealers that I have tried is that many of them look beautiful at first but tend to settle into fine lines after a couple of hours of wear. I’d love to see a video that tests concealers after all day wear.
@@GlamGirlGabi The footage in natural lightning was *chef's kiss*. I'm staying with my Nyx serum and Maybelline spongetip-thing, good to know those are top of the line
@@GlamGirlGabi Additional suggestion: comparing these same concealers on the upper eyelids (for those of us in need of evening out the skin tone) and as an eyeshadow base
Im 70 with under eye bags..and Ive tried all the drugstore concealers-- There are 3 I honed in on that work fabulously and beat higher brands. Revlon has a light mauve- colour corrector that erases the red/dark tone under bags. Let that dry and pat it in. If the higher part is lighter in colour-a touch of any darker toned concealer in that area. Maybelline Age rewind- is the best blendable around the whole face if needed- it may be totally enough around the eyes for younger eyes. I finish going back to the mauved,.colour corrected underbag area and dfinish the shadow Marcelle conceller- its in a wide cream pencil - the application and texture beats all the others in tubes /rods/ rollers..and because its drier not too liquid not too creamy- it stays on defining the area so well. I pat a bit of translucent power and use a dewy finishing spray-Its the best you can do outside of botox ; )
I love the NYX serum concealer. As someone with acne prone skin, I think the pump is more hygienic. What I don’t like is that the cap gets dirty even though the rest of the component is clean when I put the cap on.
AAW yes I can but I have to grow my hair out more. For this particular video, I waved it with the Dyson Airwrap but yesterday, I just cut my hair back into it's short blunt bob so it won't work now. I am still planning to do a Dyson video when my hair grows about two inches longer though so stay tuned for that!
Such a good video. I watch and like all of them. You are beautiful, kind and I love how you really focus on making older women look and feel beautiful. I completely understand what you are saying with the clean beauty products. It's a huge band wagon that makes millions for these companies. The marketing is sick and downright untruthful at times. But i also believe that some ingredients in our beauty products are not safe. America has horrible guidlines for what can go into these products. Some people are very severely allergic to some of these ingredients with very visible symptoms. Im very grateful to high quality companies who make beauty products with ingredients that are enjoyed by women without suffering. Everyone is different and some need actually clean ( not just marketed clean) makeup. I am one of these people. Please dont consider this a roast, its a respectful opinion. Ive learned so much in technique from you, you are so generous with your knowledge!
Have you tried the milani skin quench primer under your eyes? At 68, it is the best product for my under eyes! Any concealer works over it. I use it every time. I also agree with you about the "clean" beauty. Just a gimmick.
Gabi, thank you for another great video. I will definitely try 1 or 2 of them, but wanted to tell you about one that I have been using for a few years. I’m 61 years old & don’t have creasing with the Shiseido concealer. I swear by it. Have you ever tried it? If not, I’d love for you to try it & let us know what you think, as maybe other Shiseido products, if possible ❤️
I do have a couple drugstore that are ok, but honestly, I'd rather splurge on my Lacome Teint Idol Concealer (w/ Bobbi Brown Stick Corrector). I use them both spareingly, so they last for a whole year. Worth the money.
Fantastic tutorial. When I was 38 due sinus have one bag one, now 63 still the bag eye plus lines 😢 can't fine a concealer that work just don't use one at all. I use Dior and Elf as my foundation
I use the Bear with me on top of the NYX pink corrector on my 55 year old dry under eyes. I find using a tiny silicon point brush to apply sparingly and then buffing in works well. The Maybelline age rewind failed by breaking up on my under eyes after working for about 4 months.
Have you ever tried Southern Magnolia Minerals. Not as cheap as drugstore brands but really great quality. I have used them for several years and am really pleased with their products overall. Thanks for your videos!
Thankyou for that Clean make up! I trust you that that is the Case. Cruelty free I'm totally down for! But what about "forever chemicals" in makeup which have been banned in New Zealand and Australia your thoughts?
Being a Canadian girl 🇨🇦 it's nice that you can show a product that I want to try and I'm actually able to go and buy it! Why does makeup have to be so expensive though!
This was awesome Gabi and thanks so much for the close ups and natural light, so honest and refreshing!! 🙌🙌. Totally agree with you about the « clean makeup » being total 💩 bs.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT !! I have only seen one other lady (Susan Yara ) on you tube talking about clean beauty ! And I 100% agree !!!!! I have been saying it the whole time !!! And for people to buy into it is sad !!! Marketing at its finest and it’s ridiculous!!! Thank you being honest because viewers need to hear the truth and all it does is divide people when companies try and sell certain gimmicky theories !!!!
Gabi love ❤️ your honesty about the products you review. I agree with you about concealers. I don’t believe there is anything out there on the market to cover fine lines and crows feet. It’s just apart of the aging process.
Yeah that is the truth. You have to do your best to brighten without going too far with density and having it sit in the lines. It's a balancing act. However, lines around your face are the perfect indicators or a trult happy life so I'll take it :)
I wish I wrote it down! I have a million and I just popped whatever I thought would be pretty that day and now I don't remember. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! I'll make sure to write my lip combos in the description box moving forward.
This was so helpful, thank you for putting in the work! 👏☺ I've been on the struggle bus with my under-eye concealers for a while now! 😩 I really want to try the L'Oréal Perfect Match Concealer but I live in Belgium (Europe) where you are fortunate if there are any testers out to begin with and when you buy you can't return. Makeup is considered a hygiene product here, so it's non-refundable and that wasted cost falls on the customer. So even though I've loved the L'Oréal True Match foundation in the past what's putting me off getting the "Perfect Match" concealer is that when I look up close to the bottle it looks like it contains some sort of glitter/sparkle, no thank you! At the moment, I'm combining two concealers to get my perfect full-coverage concealer. The NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop (which is far too cakey but high coverage on its own) with the Essence Skin Lovin' Sensitive Concealer (which is the opposite; too watery and light coverage). Together they make the perfect formula, and that's the one I'm hoping to find one of these days in a singular concealer! 🤞😅
It's the same policies in my country for many consumables, like skincare and makeup products and also fragrances. Once purchased, we can't return due to change of mind (products not agreeing with our skin etc). Even if very lightly used, like BBW policy in N America where customers can return a fragrance they don't like, well I feel like in America you can buy anything and return if you don't like them. So jealous.
@@summerrose1545 Right?! We have to commit when making our purchases 😩And it really sucks when there aren't even testers to help us. Just wasted €18 on a foundation because I couldn't swatch it first 😭
BYE BYE UNDEREYE CONCEALER frdom TEMU is the best concealer I have ever tried for mature undereye areas! It costs under $2 a tube...which is a steal!!! It is very hydrating...light to medium coverage, but is buildable. I prep my undereye with AQUAPHOR LIP BALM, apply concealer, and set with a fine milked setting powder. It lasts all day without creasing.
I have been using the NYX bare with me for a couple of years now and it’s the only one that actually works for me. I don’t really have any circles, and I don’t care to cover them if I did. I like the pump, and I barely press it down and it’s the perfect amount for one under eye. One tube lasts me six months of daily use. I wear makeup even if I don’t leave the house. I have tried the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful skin concealer, and it has mica in it and it’s glittery under my eyes. The formula is nice, but I couldn’t figure out why I had sparkles under my eyes until I read the ingredients. The Haus Labs is okay, but I don’t think it looks as good as the NYX. I don’t know why I even bothered trying them when I already know that the bare with me is the best for me.
Great video! Your top is super cute! Where did you get it? Thank you for letting us know which ones are good for mature skin, I got Dermablend for my broken capillaries on my chin and it covers better than most but still not all the way.. too heavy for under eyes in my opinion

That’s true, the only one
Agree with the 3 of you. Caprice is my go-to for full coverage
Thank you but how can I know what colour to get. I need something a bit yellow based. thanks
@@nsg6225 I have number 15 (warm vanilla) and number 10 (cool cashmere). The warm shades are definitely more yellowish.
I'm honestly glad you've addressed the "clean makeup" scam.

Seriously, the only makeup which could be considered clean would be not makeup: berries for lip and cheek color, soot for eyelashes, etc.
The truth is that the word "clean" isn't regulated so anyone can say clean and mean absolutely anything by it. It's stupid and misleading.
@@YogaCheryl Exactly. It's a marketing ploy, nothing more.
Heck ya!!! So glad to see more people calling this out!! The fear mongering around this subject is terrible 🤢
Often, the "clean" products contain well known allergens like essential oils. Or they use tons of denaturated alcohol as a preservative.
@@awetistic5295 I've heard stories of people having some really nasty reactions to so-called "clean" makeup. Mascara is a particularly nasty one.

Thank you! I changed it up today. I used the Dyson airwrap to make it all flippy. It's got a vintage vibe to it that I think is fun :)
I pair the Bare with Me with NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop foundation (to mix the colors and formulas) and I love it 😍 I actually used the Aquaphor balm as a base underneath because the foundation is more drying on my skin
I totally agree about the Elf camo concealer. So disappointing. Thanks Gabi. This was a great video.❤
Appreciated this video so much. I’ve owned and tried the Elf, Revlon Flex, Age Rewind, & NYX and I can make them all work on my old under eyes by setting with a light application of powder but my favorite less expensive concealer is the Catrice HD Hydrating concealer. It’s a medium coverage that dries down and doesn’t need powder or crease into wrinkles. I had hoped you’d include it in this video to see what you think.
I have heard so many things about the Catrice one! They don't have it in Canada (at least I've never seen it) so I couldn't purchase it but maybe I'll order it online!
I tried L'oreal Infallible in 340 Fawn years ago.I loved the shade, coverage, & fragrance. Unfortunately, it got crackly under my eyes midday. The fragrance also irritated my eyes. So I just use it elsewhere on my face. Revlon is a difficult brand to shade match for me so I've skipped their last few releases. I'm also not wowed by Maybelline Instant Age Rewind for undereyes but love both Light Honey & Honey for contouring. Thanks for all the info, Gabi!😘
With pump concealers I've been able to pump a few dots on my eyes, adding as needed. It works pretty well. Just go easy. I love how clean pumps are.
Omg your hair and that top you are wearing wow your gorgeous 😊so many concealers I have don’t work will have to try NYX 😊thanks for sharing your thoughts on the concealers 😊
Thank you!

Well done, Gabi! I love how you show concealers from the same brand side-by-side - it's how we actually see them on display in stores, and I've spent alot of time trying to decide which product in a brand I should buy. I didn't see Flower Beauty's Get Real Serum Concealer in your comparison; it's a very popular product here in the US, (and one of my favorites) and I'm guessing maybe its availability in Canada is not so great -? Thanks for the video!
Hey! Thank you for the feedback. I am so glad that you found it helpful! I have never heard of that product before so it must not be available in Canada. A lot of people asked me about Catrice too but we also don't have that.
First I want to say that you are incredibly good at making videos. You are careful with your content and the way you test the products is super good. I have not tested them all, because not all of them can be bought in Norway. But I use maybelline as you tested and like it, and I also use Estee Laurder Double Wear Stay In Place Concealer. It's thin but I think it brightens and covers my blue rings. I also have oily skin. Heard a lot about Nars' concealer. Have you tested it?
Beautiful Dominique as always!! Xx❤
I would love a tutorial on how you atyled your hair for this video. It looks amazing!
Thanks for your honesty, I certainly appreciate it!🇨🇦❤️
Thank you so much for your enlightening video Gabby. Have you tried kokie be bright illuminating concealer? This stuff is great. I am mature, and it is so ptetty. It is medium coverage, and so brightening!
Undereye bags, also puffy eyel8ds -- 100 Percent Pure's Organic Coffee Bean Eye Cream. Works immediately, not greasy, brilliant. And mot expensive.
Great video!. I was just looking for a concealer video! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video!! Thank you Gabi. Undereye bags can be reduced with lots of hydration. Not sure if your hubby is like mine, who needs reminding to drink his water. 😉
Had to comment on your beautiful hair and cute top!❤ Hoping for a curling/style tutorial.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for making this video! I've been using the maybelline instant rewind for years but, now you've shown me options and I legit have to run out and try some!
ALSO!!! I seriously appreciate your honest opinions on which concealers are good for dark circles (which I massively have) and which are good for the lines and wrinkles which I'm just starting to get under the eyes 😭Its all new for me so I've been struggling with the under eye make up.
It's like a fine balance trying to find one that does it all.
Thank you for this video. It's always hard for me to find a concealer that will cover my hollows (and I want to try doing it without a corrector). This certainly broke my choices down.
I love your hair! Mine is the same length. I also have an Airwrap, but it's a bit hard for me to do this hairstyle. Could you please make a video showing how to do it?
incredibly helpful and awesome job!
Thanks Christine! I am so glad that you found it helpful!
I like the Age Rewind or Fit Me under eyes, and I use the Super Stay on the face when I don't wear foundation just to correct dark spots/blemishes.
The problem I have with all of the drug store concealers that I have tried is that many of them look beautiful at first but tend to settle into fine lines after a couple of hours of wear. I’d love to see a video that tests concealers after all day wear.
I'm smashing the like-button, because this video-idea is EXACTLY what we need & want :)
AAAW Aimee thank you! I am really happy to hear that you found this helpful!
@@GlamGirlGabi The footage in natural lightning was *chef's kiss*. I'm staying with my Nyx serum and Maybelline spongetip-thing, good to know those are top of the line
@@GlamGirlGabi Additional suggestion: comparing these same concealers on the upper eyelids (for those of us in need of evening out the skin tone) and as an eyeshadow base
I keep looking for the right one too for my 62 year skin some look good at first then crease up, thanks for sharing your thoughts and advice ❤
You are so welcome!
Im 70 with under eye bags..and Ive tried all the drugstore concealers-- There are 3 I honed in on that work fabulously and beat higher brands. Revlon has a light mauve- colour corrector that erases the red/dark tone under bags. Let that dry and pat it in. If the higher part is lighter in colour-a touch of any darker toned concealer in that area. Maybelline Age rewind- is the best blendable around the whole face if needed- it may be totally enough around the eyes for younger eyes. I finish going back to the mauved,.colour corrected underbag area and dfinish the shadow Marcelle conceller- its in a wide cream pencil - the application and texture beats all the others in tubes /rods/ rollers..and because its drier not too liquid not too creamy- it stays on defining the area so well. I pat a bit of translucent power and use a dewy finishing spray-Its the best you can do outside of botox ; )
Love this suggestion Leya! Thank you so much for sharing!
You look amazing today Gabi Your hair is fab that way and I love the colour of your lipstick and blush 🥰
Thank you so much 😀
Great info.. best I have seen on drug store concealers.. !!
I love the NYX serum concealer. As someone with acne prone skin, I think the pump is more hygienic. What I don’t like is that the cap gets dirty even though the rest of the component is clean when I put the cap on.
The next is more sanitary. I love it❤
Such a beautiful lady. I am grateful for your help❤
I like that flip (hair style)!
Will you please show us how to do your hairstyle that you’re wearing today? Love it.
AAW yes I can but I have to grow my hair out more. For this particular video, I waved it with the Dyson Airwrap but yesterday, I just cut my hair back into it's short blunt bob so it won't work now. I am still planning to do a Dyson video when my hair grows about two inches longer though so stay tuned for that!
@@GlamGirlGabi 👍🏻😘
Thank you Gabi! ❤ now I’ll watch 😊
Such a good video. I watch and like all of them. You are beautiful, kind and I love how you really focus on making older women look and feel beautiful.
I completely understand what you are saying with the clean beauty products. It's a huge band wagon that makes millions for these companies. The marketing is sick and downright untruthful at times. But i also believe that some ingredients in our beauty products are not safe. America has horrible guidlines for what can go into these products. Some people are very severely allergic to some of these ingredients with very visible symptoms. Im very grateful to high quality companies who make beauty products with ingredients that are enjoyed by women without suffering. Everyone is different and some need actually clean ( not just marketed clean) makeup. I am one of these people. Please dont consider this a roast, its a respectful opinion. Ive learned so much in technique from you, you are so generous with your knowledge!
Love the thorough review.
Have you tried the milani skin quench primer under your eyes? At 68, it is the best product for my under eyes! Any concealer works over it. I use it every time.
I also agree with you about the "clean" beauty. Just a gimmick.
Gabi, thank you for another great video. I will definitely try 1 or 2 of them, but wanted to tell you about one that I have been using for a few years. I’m 61 years old & don’t have creasing with the Shiseido concealer. I swear by it. Have you ever tried it? If not, I’d love for you to try it & let us know what you think, as maybe other Shiseido products, if possible ❤️
I do have a couple drugstore that are ok, but honestly, I'd rather splurge on my Lacome Teint Idol Concealer (w/ Bobbi Brown Stick Corrector). I use them both spareingly, so they last for a whole year. Worth the money.
Gaby I love yours videos ! I want you to review the Rimmel Multitasker Concealer please 🙏
Fantastic tutorial. When I was 38 due sinus have one bag one, now 63 still the bag eye plus lines 😢 can't fine a concealer that work just don't use one at all. I use Dior and Elf as my foundation
Your hair flipped up is gorgeous 😍
Thank you so much 😀
I use the Bear with me on top of the NYX pink corrector on my 55 year old dry under eyes. I find using a tiny silicon point brush to apply sparingly and then buffing in works well. The Maybelline age rewind failed by breaking up on my under eyes after working for about 4 months.
Have you ever tried Southern Magnolia Minerals. Not as cheap as drugstore brands but really great quality. I have used them for several years and am really pleased with their products overall. Thanks for your videos!
Thankyou for that Clean make up! I trust you that that is the Case. Cruelty free I'm totally down for! But what about "forever chemicals" in makeup which have been banned in New Zealand and Australia your thoughts?
Being a Canadian girl 🇨🇦 it's nice that you can show a product that I want to try and I'm actually able to go and buy it! Why does makeup have to be so expensive though!
This was awesome Gabi and thanks so much for the close ups and natural light, so honest and refreshing!! 🙌🙌. Totally agree with you about the « clean makeup » being total 💩 bs.
You're so welcome!
Great coverage for over the counter products.
Over 60 hollow eyes, dark circles, puffy eyes. Which one would you recommend? Thank you.
Omg my fave CoverGirl clean fresh. Second true match.
THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT !! I have only seen one other lady (Susan Yara ) on you tube talking about clean beauty ! And I 100% agree !!!!! I have been saying it the whole time !!! And for people to buy into it is sad !!! Marketing at its finest and it’s ridiculous!!! Thank you being honest because viewers need to hear the truth and all it does is divide people when companies try and sell certain gimmicky theories !!!!
I use the Nyx concealer and its sooooo amazing.
Gabi love ❤️ your honesty about the products you review. I agree with you about concealers. I don’t believe there is anything out there on the market to cover fine lines and crows feet. It’s just apart of the aging process.
Yeah that is the truth. You have to do your best to brighten without going too far with density and having it sit in the lines. It's a balancing act. However, lines around your face are the perfect indicators or a trult happy life so I'll take it :)
@@GlamGirlGabi Gabi you are so awesome. Is the LYS foundation good for mature skin?
My ND concealer & Lancôme Tient Idole just sit there while I always reach for LA Girl PRO Conceal HD Concealer.
TOTALLY agree with you about the "clean makeup" marketing BS!
Gabi, what lipstick are you wearing? Looks gorgeous on you! Thanks for this video! ❤
I wish I wrote it down! I have a million and I just popped whatever I thought would be pretty that day and now I don't remember. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! I'll make sure to write my lip combos in the description box moving forward.
This was so helpful, thank you for putting in the work! 👏☺
I've been on the struggle bus with my under-eye concealers for a while now! 😩 I really want to try the L'Oréal Perfect Match Concealer but I live in Belgium (Europe) where you are fortunate if there are any testers out to begin with and when you buy you can't return. Makeup is considered a hygiene product here, so it's non-refundable and that wasted cost falls on the customer.
So even though I've loved the L'Oréal True Match foundation in the past what's putting me off getting the "Perfect Match" concealer is that when I look up close to the bottle it looks like it contains some sort of glitter/sparkle, no thank you!
At the moment, I'm combining two concealers to get my perfect full-coverage concealer. The NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop (which is far too cakey but high coverage on its own) with the Essence Skin Lovin' Sensitive Concealer (which is the opposite; too watery and light coverage). Together they make the perfect formula, and that's the one I'm hoping to find one of these days in a singular concealer! 🤞😅
It's the same policies in my country for many consumables, like skincare and makeup products and also fragrances. Once purchased, we can't return due to change of mind (products not agreeing with our skin etc). Even if very lightly used, like BBW policy in N America where customers can return a fragrance they don't like, well I feel like in America you can buy anything and return if you don't like them. So jealous.
@@summerrose1545 Right?! We have to commit when making our purchases 😩And it really sucks when there aren't even testers to help us. Just wasted €18 on a foundation because I couldn't swatch it first 😭
One of my favorite conceales u did not mention is melani I love ❤️ it
BYE BYE UNDEREYE CONCEALER frdom TEMU is the best concealer I have ever tried for mature undereye areas! It costs under $2 a tube...which is a steal!!! It is very hydrating...light to medium coverage, but is buildable. I prep my undereye with AQUAPHOR LIP BALM, apply concealer, and set with a fine milked setting powder. It lasts all day without creasing.
I have been using the NYX bare with me for a couple of years now and it’s the only one that actually works for me. I don’t really have any circles, and I don’t care to cover them if I did. I like the pump, and I barely press it down and it’s the perfect amount for one under eye. One tube lasts me six months of daily use. I wear makeup even if I don’t leave the house. I have tried the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful skin concealer, and it has mica in it and it’s glittery under my eyes. The formula is nice, but I couldn’t figure out why I had sparkles under my eyes until I read the ingredients. The Haus Labs is okay, but I don’t think it looks as good as the NYX. I don’t know why I even bothered trying them when I already know that the bare with me is the best for me.
That is great to know! Thank you so much for sharing!
You’re so right about the “clean” makeup, all marketing BS.
Great video! Your top is super cute! Where did you get it? Thank you for letting us know which ones are good for mature skin, I got Dermablend for my broken capillaries on my chin and it covers better than most but still not all the way.. too heavy for under eyes in my opinion
Thank you!
