Hope this helps guys! You'll be seeing me using this technique in all my makeup looks going forward 🙌🏼❤
Have you tried the NXY bare serum concealer ?
I’m SO impressed, it’s damn good coverage …like hella good…. has a really thin texture, it wears amazing too!
It reminds me a lot of the Sephora gel concealer and a big like the bare minerals serum concealer but with much better coverage.
Thank you Alex! Really enjoyed the video... can you recommend more drugstore concealers to use for this technique?
EARRING INFO! Gorgeous! 😍Thank you😘
tissue proof makeup? like for your nose when you have allergies my nose makeup gets wiped right off
Can you do a video on your base in the video.? It looks so beautiful!
1. Moisturize
2. Apply under eye primer (a tiny amount)
3. Give it a couple of minutes to set
4. Apply under eye color corrector with a brush (because of the precision).
*she applies a tiny amount on the hollow parts and where she has the most darkness.
*she doesn't apply it all the way up to her eye because of the fine lines
5. Apply concealer with a brush
*patting with a brush in a downward motion
*use a really light hand
Thank you 😊 I was in a hurry
Thanks. One correction: She used the Milk Hydrogrip primer (a tiny amount) before the under eye primer which was a normal amount.
@@karaokelolawhy did she do that? What’s the benefit?
@@christinagrant3252i believe it just helps the makeup sit on her face better/prevents it from sinking too much into the creases!
Thanks!
As someone who naturally has very dark circles and under-eye creasing, but who also likes minimal and natural-looking makeup, it's been pretty much impossible and very discouraging to find a solution that would check all the boxes. My current routine is pretty much based on your older videos, but I am over the moon happy you've posted this. Thank you!
This was an immense help Alex. I have been so discouraged about makeup lately bc of eye creasing. At 41 years old, I just can't do powders anymore! Thanks again!! Xoxo
I hope this works for you! I’ve been feeling the same way 😩🙌🏼
Same Haley! At 45, I can barely use any powder...I have dry skin and super hydrate under my eyes before applying anything...thanks so much Alex this is super encouraging! ❤️
Same!!
Same.
I am 30yrs old and my under eye area never had a chance with powders 😂😂
When I was 20 there were already creases so I always had to apply lightly. Good thing is a good eye cream (bobbi brown for example) and light coverage kinda saves you money. 😅
I'm 53 years old. My make up routine consisted of slapping on some cream, foundation, eye liner, mascara. Thanks to you Alex my face now looks amazingly younger without looking over done. I had no idea about primers, serums etc and now my skin base and face looks more dewy and youthful. Never too old to learn new habits regarding skin and make up...can't thankyou enough ❤
For anyone that still wants to powder: the only way I‘ve found that looks natural and non-drying is to really work a setting powder (I use rare beauty) into a puff, until you can’t even see the product on the puff anymore. Then press and roll onto the skin. You get such a light coverage, but it really locks everything in without packing too much product onto the skin. 🥰
Would love to see more using puffs. They definitely have their place.
OMG YES! I love doing that! And if I find that it's still overly powdered, I just use a fluffy clean brush to wipe excess away. It's my favourite method at the moment!
Thanks for the tip! I use Jurlique Rose translucent powder is a fantastic product I use, provides a light dusting just enough to stop the shine.
Westman Atelier is a good choice for this, I've recently discovered.
I love that you acknowledge both your changing makeup tastes and the change in undereye skin texture as you age. I'm 33 and that really speaks to me! Full coverage is no longer flattering on me, EVERYTHING creases under my eyes, and I'm honestly just more confident and comfortable with my natural face than I was in my 20's. This is the perfect way to give myself a slight enhancement for when I feel like it :)
At 45 years old, I feel your under eye pain! After much research and experimenting with various products, I've learned cream based products are my jam. Setting my eyes just does not work any more and the Becca corrector is my holy grail. I don't use concealer under my eyes at all anymore because it just ages me tremendously. 😒
I love this minimalist technique on you, it looks beautiful! Thanks for the video. ❤️✌️
Check out the sensitive concealer from essence ☺️ It’s cheap and very hydrating
I've been obsessed with perfecting my under eye game lately. I'm mostly foundation free so I'm all about natural finishes vs the cakey high coverage paste look. Also I've really been loving letting dark circles peak through vs erasing them completely. After months of daily experimentation and continuous research, I've discovered some great techniques. Some techniques work better with certain concealers vs others. So it really is a matter of trial and error. However, all of the techniques that I've had great success with does involve powder. Which is fine for me...but I do like the dewy look Alex rocks and always wished I could achieve that with no creasing. The closest I got was to mix an illuminizer with concealer allowing the glowiness to peak through the setting powder. Alex's technique is different than the ones I've tried and I'm excited to have a new one to try! I'll definitely look into the milk primers to try this technique. I have the original becca corrector in my arsenal already, and I've been suuuuuuuper curious about sephora's gel concealer thanks to Alex. I've been really enjoying NYX's bare with me at the moment. Thanks Alex for mentioning what brush you use, I was dying to know! I find that using a brush is crucial for me to avoid over applying concealer (I no longer dot directly on face, regardless of what technique I'm using that day) and I also always wipe the brush off on a paper towel in between layers. Makes a WORLD of a difference. Brush used also changes things and I've experimented with several before settling on an old MAC 224 from my stash. I'm very curious about the sigma one Alex uses, I love the shape of it. Thank you so much for sharing this Alex! I can't wait to try it out!
When Alex mentioned serum concealers I was sure she was going to use the NYX haha
@@kbmakes haha! I had an inkling she was going to bust out the Sephora gel concealer. She spoke of it quite a bit lately and has been using it often. I really like the NYX one though! Bit of a learning curve for me as it is much thinner/hydrating than others I had...but once I figured it out...it's chef's kiss!
@@kbmakes also....LOVE your username lol
@@TwinkleToes66 hah thank you! Yours is great as well :) i think it might be Julia Adams that's been talking about the NYX
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 love so much
Thank you so much for helping those of us cursed with the dark under eyes. You're amazing!
This look is really nice! I really appreciate how you've gone less and less heavy with the concealer. You've always looked lovely, but it's fun to see how you've embraced your natural beauty more (while also bettering your skin). Continuing with this more natural look, I'd love it if you could do a video or two on tinted moisturizers/sunscreens with your comments/reviews. (I personally struggle to find ANYTHING that doesnt pill!)
these dark circles videos are life changing for me ! they used to be my biggest insecurity (always been thinking of getting injections for them and all) and discovering you and your work completely changed my mind, i actually enjoy seeing them on my face and wearing lighter makeup to the point that fully concealing them doesn't feel like my face anymore... thank you Alex
I have mature under eye skin, so powder there just isn't part of my game. I really loved the close up here, and your advice is always so useful even though our skin type is different. This looks so natural, and I love it!
I just wanna say that I’ve been watch your under eye concealer journey for a few years now and you never miss, you’ve put me on to more hydration in my skin care routine and I’m obsessed! THANK YOU ALEX!!
Thank you thank you thank you! This is so "mature eye" friendly! I have dark circles and it seems no matter what I do, when I try to conceal them I end up adding years to my face by accentuating the crepeyness and wrinkles. Any powder, no matter how hydrating they claim to be, is the worst under my eyes!
Love this!!! I picked up the Becca under eye primer after a LONG time and am now embracing again my dark circles. I hate cake and I hate heavy; this look is perfection.
So glad that i found your channel❤️ I’ve been trying to accept my dark circles and blue veins since like 15 yo. Your videos make me feel more confident about my appearance. Sometimes i even go out without any concealer under my eyes, and that’s a big change✨
Thanks a lot for this video Alex, I’m living for this kind of content, less is more! Always loved playing with makeup, but the trends these past 10 years have been getting me confused about all the different products one needs to put on their face to achieve a decent result. As several other people commented, aging + powder can get difficult to work with. So grateful for your work! Also you have incredible skin and features! ❤️
I pretty much gave up on under eye makeup, concealer, and general base because all of the info online was for full coverage and I was struggling to do natural stuff on my own. You are quickly becoming my favorite makeup youtuber because you not only show the fun stuff but also the realistic day to day stuff
I love that you're more into light coverage now! Your skin looks amazing 🔥
Love your videos!! I've had aging crepey skin under my eyes for a while... so up until this point, your tutorials for concealing under eyes looked great on you but I couldn't match it on myself. You look LOVELY in this one. The tip about no powder and doing concealer last to minimize is super helpful to me, and I'll now be seeking out a color corrector in addition to my light moisturizing concealer.
I learn so much from your videos. I am getting married in October and don't have the budget for a make-up artist, so I am learning to do everything on my own. I can't thank you enough for everything your videos have taught me.
I'm constantly battling my under eye circles and love all of your tips/tricks. Thank you for sharing.
I swear UA-cam was listening to my conversation 5 minutes ago. This is exactly what I need. Just found your channel and honestly, I have never been a makeup tutorial girl, but I really adore your channel. Something about the closeness of your face and natural look, even in your more "glam" videos, is just perfection!
Words cannot describe my absolute love for your work and strategies as an artist! I relate SO heavily to your critical thinking, science and method in how you apply makeup.
You're up there with Mary Greenwell, Lisa Eldridge and the rest of our legendary makeup artists. Because not only do you share your incredible skills, you encourage others to embrace themselves in their artistry and love of their own skin! ♥ (PS: If you're ever in London and pop by the Kryolan store, come say hello! 🥳)
Yes! This is the technique I have been dying for. You’re the only person doing this on UA-cam. I have been putting less and less concealer under my eyes and I’m like this looks way better than before. Thank you for confirming what I was doing. You look beautiful ♥️🇨🇦
I am so grateful to have found you! I have had significant dark eyes since I’m a kid. I find myself having to wear full makeup every day because my under eye needs full coverage. This is the video that I needed 👏👏 thank you!
This is incredible! You basically contoured your eyes! Stunning!!
Just tried this with similar products. Wow. I usually hate tacky primers but the hydro grip was so nice underneath the eyes. Instant improvement! Thank you Alex ❤
Hi, I just came across your videos. Thank you for the helpful tips as well as showing how to apply. I'm 62 years old and have been battling dark circles for a long time. I noticed when I use primer the concealer does have better coverage. I look forward to viewing your newer videos. You are doing an excellent job by simply being you which is why you are my go-to woman in the UA-cam makeup world.
I just watched your original dark circles video and was kind of discouraged because I have sensory sensitivities and can't stand the feeling of full makeup coverage. I'm so glad I found this video after because it perfectly suits my preference for having that balanced skincare/makeup feel. Thank you so much!! This is so helpful, just... a lifesaver.
This is brilliant! I have maturing skin with fine lines and very dark circles, and it seems like no matter how light of a hand I use I still get creasing under my eyes. I’ve been really enjoying the LYS concealer as it is very lightweight and dewy.
Brilliant! You just keep getting better & better. This is everything I know I need to do with for my dark circles. But I was missing the technique. Thank you!
This is so simple and brilliant. Plus, using the brush is much more gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes.
Once again, such a big help! Not overdone, but enough coverage. Thank you!
Keep up the dark circle video instructions.......MUCH appreciated and so challenging with SO many products out there.......your expertise with TECHNIQUE is what we need! Thanks.
Can’t thank you enough for this amazing tutorial. Dark circles are the bane of life. Thank you so much!
You're such a queen I'm so incredibly happy you're doing more videos 🖤 I live 🖤
You're the best , I love watching your style change and grow as you do!
I’ve seen a few of your videos & appreciate how much you zooooom in! Subscribed ✅
This is my favorite video of you! This is exactly the look and coverage I’m aiming for. Thank you!
LOVE this! Yes, please do more light coverage content. Thank youuu
I really love the up close view, we are able to actually see what your doing, thank you I appreciate it 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Im happy because what i have been doing for concealing is exactly what you are telling us now, it’s like being approved 😆
This is exactly the information I needed. I’m in my early-mid-thirties and I’m having to learn a lot of new ways to do makeup as my skin changes. I would love to see more light coverage content! 🖤
I also LOVE that Sephora gel concealer!
Alexandra is like the older, makeup-wise sister I never had 😭😭😭 thank you QUEEN!!
You have had the best explanation about how to use corrector and concealer in the most efficient manner. I have used the hydrogrip under eye primer but wasn't hydrating my under eye area enough as you suggested. Thank you for the tips.
Amazing how many of those with more mature under eyes (51 here) are TOTALLY stoked with this no powder option, thanks for sharing the update!🙏🌺❤
😊
The best concealer for mature eyes Loreal True Match, eye cream. Comes in cool and warm colors, I love this stuff! It's light coverage. I put just a touch on, let it sit a min. then pat with a small puff. I'm on stage and it lasts and looks great!
📝Thanks. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
GORGEOUS! I feel like you've made this especially for me. You covered all things I needed help with. Thank you!
Subtle and beautiful. Much better than powder when wanting a lighter more natural look. You are brilliant!
This is exactly how I have been doing for some time now. Seeing the expert do the same is so validating ! Deep set eyes have such thin skin around that even a little product on gives a heavy look.
Problem with most ultra light concealer formulas is that they are soo drying, making your eyes look twice as wrinkly!
That’s why I have settled on pixi peach corrector, it’s creamy, dries powdery, retains the shine. So forgiving !
When I have enough time, I use liquid concealer too but just along the edges of hollow to feather everything in.
In a face with deep set eyes, the depth feature is part of overall facial equilibrium, when the darkness is completely covered opaque, it takes away the distinctness. Something I realised quite late(hit 30 recently), the dark under eyes I was so conscious about, they just needed to be covered till the point they are not distracting, that’s all ! A better strategy is to highlight either the lips or the cheeks with a pop of colour, that totally balances the overall look.
Sorry for long post. Thought it might help someone.
Oh can u elaborate on ur review on the pixi corrector? I was looking to buy it but most of the reviews i read were saying that it's very dry and difficult to get out of the pot👉👈
I love pixi corrector concentrate too! If you go in light post eye cream and spf, it can be one and done for some skin tones.
I absolutely want to see more light coverage stuff!!! I love a very minimal but pretty polished look.
just when i considered going under eye concealer free, this vid pops up in my subscription box… perfect timing, thank you for the tips!!!
Beautifully balanced! Love your detailed and honest videos.
Yes! As I'm getting older my natural lines have been getting worse with any concealer. Also my sleep schedule has been shit recently so more color correcting has made everything cake up
This is what I needed, thanks
I've also always had dark circles under my eyes. When I'm not wearing make up I look like I got no sleep at all. When I do want to do a really light base I always have to apply concealer as well because there is such a stark difference in my skin and my under eyes. Your videos have really helped me feel so much more secure and comfortable in my natural skin and I don't feel like I need to cover them up all the time.
Definitely loving the light coverage myself these days. I can't remember when I last had on full coverage foundation.
Looks wonderful!!! I don't have any under eye issues but all of your videos are SO helpful!!! Blessings to you, Alex! ✌️💚🙏
I was skeptical, but boy you delivered. This is exactly the help I needed
liking this before watching it cause I know you always come through with the tips
😩🙏🏼❤️
Lol same. I mostly love her for no intros.
Thumbnail: a delicate blending brush on the undereye? Like and play!!!! Do I need this info being a MUA for 25 years? No. Do I need to watch her in action? I do. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Loved! Totally confirmed what I’ve been doing too. The extra tips at the end are great!!
HEYYY great to see someone finally advocating the hallows technique cos i honestly never use concealer right underneath my waterlines, i think it ages people up and looks very unnatural :/// AND honestly color correcting is sO underrated.. i used to not be able to cover my undereyes with 3-4 layers and now i just use a little amount of peach toned corrector before my concealer and it looks literally perfect. Great video!! and it's reaally cool to see one of my inspirations with makeup using the same techniques as i do :')
ALSO ABOUT THE POWDER THING!! i think a little sheen on the undereyes look really healty and shows the fine lines a lot less
Great video! You always seem to put out videos with the EXACT things I struggle with when it comes to makeup. Makes me feel less alone!! 🙌
The best dark circle coverage tutorial!, it looks so natural!!
Very nice and sheer - it covers the pigmentation but still looks like skin. I use the same/similar technique (just with my current concealer and primer) - I've got very thin, translucent skin under my eyes, so I deal with purple discoloration and fine lines, and have to keep sheer coverage on that inner triangle-shaped half only, and not cake on powder.
Nicely done video showing exactly how less is more!
always have my finger ready to press as soon as you upload 😩❤️
😭❤❤❤
Sameeee 😂
Love this approach! Looks very fresh and natural✨
Looks amazing! Thank you so much, I needed this - I too have dark, hollow, crease-y under eyes and anytime I use heavy coverage or add powder - it separates and creases! I prefer light coverage natural looking makeup anyway so I can’t wait to try this!
Thank you so much for this Alex! My dark circles make me look and feel tired, but covering them looks worse 😬 This was so helpful!!
i love your undereye videos and tips, they always help me! thank you ❤️
🙌🏼❤️
Thank you for this tutorial. I followed these tips and l feel like for the first time ever my under eye area actually looked naturally flawless rather than blank,flat and overexposed.
please never top making content the way you do, probably the only youtuber that i watch diligently and i watch all your uploads
Thanks for the video. Nobody is talking about light coverage concealing. You make everything seems so simple and explain so well! You have absolutely no lines I can see enjoy your beauty 😍🤗💗
Your skin is soooooo beautiful, so glowy. Such a gorgeous woman. Great job, I love how you apply make up so natural. ❤
Great look, love the minimal products ❤️
Omg u just made realise the reason soo many of the hyped up concealer dont work for me! It’s bcos of my creasy undereye! So now I’m sticking to Fenty Beauty undereye brightener and newly discovered NYX bare with me concealer. That’s so helpful. Appreciate it!
You are soooo pretty, honestly! ❤ love ur personality too girl! Thanks for the videos:)
Your eyebrows are perfection!
I’m coming for that Sephora bright future serum concealer THIS WEEK. Looks so hydrating.
what an incredibly pretty person. 🥺
Wow, I just purchased the Becca under eye brightner, so I was really relieved to see you use it here (it'll be arriving in the mail in a few days). I'm new to colour correcting and made that purchase on a whim! I got it in the fairest shade, so I was happy to hear you reassure me that it's going to work on my very fair and cool-toned skin 😊
I watched this last night and tried it this am. Amazing results. I used my normal concealer and forgot under eye primer, but the coverage and staying power was amazing.
I love the idea of using a lighter concealer to draw your eye away from the problem area. Brilliant!
Like you, product goes on the back of my hand first. I learned that from an MUA long, long ago. It allows more control as you pointed out and slightly warms the product which makes it apply better.
My understanding about color correction is that you use the opposite color on the color wheel from the color you want to mask. The part that’s often left out is that you need to adjust the depth of color to match your skin, which seems to be understood, and the corrector needs to match the depth of the color you’re correcting. That means that the darker the color that your correcting, in proportion to your skin color, the more opaque the color that you’re correcting with needs to be.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH AAHHH this tutorial WORKS !! i have dark circles that are so much darker than the rest of my skin and i really like light coverage. but for YEARS my makeup has looked gray under my eyes, and when i used color corrector it would blend in with the concealer and mess up the whole look. when i tried to use just concealer i would have to keep adding more because the gray would show through and it looked way too heavy compared to the rest of my face. plus i have a lot of undereye wrinkles so it was a whole mess. but this tutorial taught me that less is more and i tried it today and IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, the makeup looks seamless and there is no grayness!! plus its so light coverage i feel like im wearing nothing !!! thank you soo much you literally gave me my confidence back
wth that looks so natural! What a great technique
You look so stunning! 🔥🔥🔥
I've realized recently that natural eye "discoloration" can actually look really pretty and sexy. What bothers me is not the bit of darkness I have, but how my undereyes are a bit sunken in. It looks a little crypt-keepery rather than sexy and edgy. But I don't want to risk the side effects of under eye filler.
We need a tutorial on this whole look!!! You look stunning 🤍
the best dark circle tutorial i have seen. thanksss! ❣️
Thanks a lot. That was so helpful. Just when I thought I’m just too untalented to do it, ur video just popped up.
And weirdly … ur voice was very calming. Thanks for that as well 😅
Woah! I didn't know you had already done your foundation until you said you had because it looked so natural! Love it!
This looks so snatural and skin like, I loved the way it turned out at the last😍❤️
Wow. This has been great. The finish really works well with your skin tone. I will be trying this and lucky for me, I have the same products as you except for the concealer :) Thanks for sharing!
Really good video. No one does close ups like you do; so helpful. Thx
Bruhhh this is great. I’m only 27, but I’m already noticing the tiny tiny lines under my eyes. I used to be a full coverage concealer girl, but now I feel like it just looks heavy and extra wrinkly. This looks like you just woke up - in the absolute most stunning way possible - with a glowy natural skin. Damn. This is great! I guess light coverage is where it’s at!!
This looks incredible. I need to try all these products immediately!!
i’ve been getting fine lines around my eyes as i’ve gotten older. i’ve started using the good molecules bakuchiol oil for dry skin around my eyes and on my face. it’s definitely helped more with the fine lines than any eye cream i’ve used. i put the oil in a roller ball for easier use.
Beautiful demonstration!!!! ♥️ i am 55 and have never worn make up, heee heee but i am seeing dark circles.... not happy...i have tried everything and i am making myself look like a clown!! Hopefully I can follow your demo! Thanks so much!❤
I wanna see more like coverage stuff like this.
This is the video I needed but didn’t know ! Thank you !
