I just subscribed to your channel. I am 59 years old with dark circles, wrinkles under my eyes, and puffiness. I like that you're a mature woman, dealing with the same issues I am dealing with me. I don't bake, since it will make my wrinkles more noticeable.
after trying several primers, i discovered Tatcha Silk Canvas Protective Primer. it comes in a small size to try out & i love it for under shadow, under eyes, before lipstick-it is the bomb. my under eyes stay fabulous ALL DAY, along with shadow & lips. i use Becca under eye brightening corrector over the primer & a light weight concealer. i am 66 & can’t tell you how thrilled i am to finally have found my perfect solution to my under eye darkness. i am also a retired makeup artist who still loves to see all the new products. i love your channel & you always help me with great tips on looking my best! hugs!!☺️❤️
Thanks to you Annie i been wearing makeup again i been in a funk and havent been wearinging make up for years like 3 years i just stopped from deppression. At one tim i wouldn't dare go out the house with out make up watching your videos has helped me get out of my funk and depression and makeing me want to wear make up again thank you so much for inspiring me
Yep, it makes a huge difference. Just remember the tiniest amount is all you need. The more product you use the more chances it will settle. Less is best🥰
I just discovered your channel a few days ago when I was searching how to avoid creased concealer and wow your tips worked perfectly for me. I have tried so many other tips from many other channels which all failed I have since watched many of your videos and I want to say a huge thank you, you are funny, sincere, honest and a pleasure to watch. Please don’t change, sending you best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦 🥰
You are my kindred spirit. This is, to me, the greatest mystery for women of a certain age (me-58) is how to apply concealer and keep it from creasing, getting into fine lines and crepeing!! Thank you for leading this expedition!! :)
Thanks for sharing all your tips. I'm 54 yrs old and still looking for the perfect combination and perfect application to get a nice, smooth result. I agree that it is about prepping the skin and getting the right product to start. I I can't use oils either under the eye. It's becoming a full time job!! haha
I loved this video on under eye creasing. I did what you said and blotted the eyecream under the eye, applied bareminerals concealer and no creasing!! The ticket is blotting the eye cream. I am going to try the anastasiaas well!! Love your channel
Omg I did this color correct then concealer and blended together today and I'm so impressed! I think this is best my undereye has ever looked. Thank you so much!!!!
YEAH! This is exciting because it gives me hope. It really looks very natural, like skin. My lids are oily. Nothing stays on. It all ends up under my eyes...lol Looking forward to trying this!
I’m back. Watching the miracle you figured out for us because I just purchased the smash box under eye primer and the CT magic genius powder in medium! I can’t wait! Had to put it on quad pay though because its too expensive for me atm. BUT I NEED IT
So Anne, it is very late and I can't sleep. I ended up getting up and playing with makeup and I FINALLY got to try this. And OMG it worked! I ordered the smashbox and it just came in, I have the same BK Beauty brush, and same powder. I used the Kiehl's undereye cream, and used the Lancome Effacernes concealer with IT Cosmetics color corrector. My under eyes don't look dry, though they are matte and I have ZERO creasing. I used a different under eye primer on my left eye to see if that worked, and it did! It was the Catrice Liquid Camouflage Under eye primer. Thanks for another great video! Now, if only I could go out so ppl could actually see how amazing my makeup looks, I'd be a very happy girl! 💖😷
Your finished makeup is always so stunning. Goals!! Your eyes enchant me and I envy them as I have very puffy and hooded eyelids. I Love his tutorial. I am just starting to try using makeup to try to enhance me as is get older (51). I have saved this tutorial and will keep trying your technique and if I need to adjust I now feel more confident to keep trying!! Thank you so much Anne!
Thanks for the great video! Powder recommendation: By Terry Hyaluronic powder. for under eye concealer. Game. Changer. Everything else made my concealer dry and scaley looking, including Charlotte Tilbury. It removes the shine that emphasizes eye bags, but does not dry out... they hyaluronic component keeps it from drying out. I 'm 52 and have serious undereye circles, creases, wrinkles, crinkles and I recently changed from Charlotte Tilbury magic concealer to Jeffrey Star concealer combined with By Terry Hyaluronic powder, and the result is dramatically different. My biggest "Game Changer" of all products I've tried in 2019!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I did try the By Terry but returned it. It didn't work under my eyes and on my face it actually made my skin more oily. But, we all have different skin. What works for one doesn't for another. I appreciate you sharing your tips and recommendations because this will be very helpful to someone struggling with this issue💖
Hi Anne, I’ve been subscribed for awhile but I don’t think I’ve taken the time to comment. I enjoy your content and all the help you share. It’s a bonus that you’re so “real” (no shame in a close up, you rock it!) and I can get my fix of a Midwest accent! I appreciate that you return with some “revisions” and solicit feedback. It’s a process, working with these eyes of ours. Thanks for leading the team effort! 💐 Jacqui
Thank you so much Julie for sharing💓 Yes, absolutely. Everyone has there technique that works. And the more we share the more helpful it is to others. Because as I always say what works for one doesn't for someone else 😘💓😘
I have recently gone back to my under eye concealer as well. Right now I’m using the it cosmetics one,I have them all. Also I really like the Elf under eye powder. I still top my concealer with my bb cream very lightly and then a slight brush of elf powder. So I have moisture,moisture,moisture cause I’m older older older lol! It stays all day without looking bad😊for now I’m happy🤪
I just subscribed to your channel yay. Love your videos cause I'm 60 and my skin has really changed over the years and you have wonderful tips for us more mature ladys. These younger girls don't have our issues yet so they can't even help us. I've quit buying all those products though for under my eyes cause they make my makeup crease so quickly as the day goes by. Watching this video might help me though, will have to give it a try.
Hi Cynthia. I recently shared this video on another concealer I just tested. This one only comes in two shades but it's a color corrector and concealer. You can see me demo it here ua-cam.com/video/5v4LkaXg3aY/v-deo.html
It looks great! very natural, which is the goal for me. I have a lot of discoloration around my eyes, but never thought to use a color correcter. Thank you, I will try this!
I find the fewer products I use on my undereye area the better it looks. I use the tiniest amount of Saturday Skin moisturizer, and a pinpoint amount of IT Bye Bye Undereye concealer and powder very, very lightly. Lasts all day with absolutely no creasing. My holy grail now!! ❤️
I need to get a good eye primer.... I’ve never used one. With the tip you gave me about oily lids and liner the other day.... that and trying this technique for concealer could REALLY up my game! Thank you! 💗
I love your videos. Finally someone who shows what really happens around the eyes (I have the same problem). I find your videos very interesting. Thank you very much!
I just started using the smashbox primer last week. Game changer. My under eyes are my problem area. The only thing I do differently is after concealer I take a damp beauty blender and spray the tip with setting spray, squeeze the beauty blender a few times and gently press under my eye, let it dry then I take the it cosmetics finishing powder it includes a small puff applicator and dip and tap off on the edge and I press under the eye. I was using the by terry but I noticed by about hour 5 I had dry, cakey, creasing. I’ve tried a brush and beauty blender for the powder but I just felt my eyes still looked cracked and cakey. The puff for some reason works could be the soft fluffy applicator applies just the right about 🤷🏼♀️ good luck ladies beauty is hard when you reach a certain age!
Hi Christian! Isn't that primer fabulous!!! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and technique. The key for each of us is finding that sweet spot with what works.
Great video! I just watched your older video and this updated video. The gamechanger for me was the Beauty Blender! That really smoothed things out in a major way! Thank you so much!!!
The Becca anti fatigue under eye primer is nice too. My biggest problem is that i have an actual fold below my tear duct area - and that is part of the dark circle I want to fix. This is a challenge I have not yet figured out
I like the under eye primer by Elf. I can't use Smashbox because it isn't cruelty free. I think, like you, that when you reach a certain again, you can't pack on the concealer. Little dabs is the way to go. And yes to blotting with a tissue. It works. Bare Minerals makes a nice lightweight concealer. Your under eye area looks incredible. Thanks, Anne. Enjoy the warm weather for me. ❤😘
You're welcome Rene. And thank you so much for sharing your routine and recommendations. This is so helpful. I wish I could send you some your way. I'm very thankful for each day here. Sending warm hugs💓💓💓
@@MakeupForMatureSkin thank you, Anne. As always, you have such great tips and tricks. Yes, please do send some warmth this way. Every winter, I wonder why I'm on the east coast! Hugs back❣🤗
Great tips, I love the jcat aquassurence concealer hands down. It stays on my face all day until I actually remove it. Key is to let it sit drying for a few minutes before you set it with powder. I'm always looking for different ways to make my makeup look and stay better.
Anne...thank you for this video. I have been trying some of your tips from this video over the last few weeks. I'm in the group that has dark circles under my whole eye - and have had that ever since I can remember. So I have accepted that I won't be able to totally get rid of them...but I can disguise them as best as I can. Your tips have helped me greatly with NOT having the concealer crease and the powder from making everything stand out to much more and making me look like the crept keeper lol. Thank you for all the tips. I think I finally have a a couple of products and application techniques that are finally working!!!!!
Same here. My only difference is I don’t mix the corrector and concealer but I might start trying that. I also use one of the purple Real Techniques eye brushes. If I forget the undereye primer, it’s a disaster.
Hi Anne. I just live in the wrong part of the world. All you mention I try to get from our makeup stores here. I mentio something and the beauty consultants have never heard of that product before. So I will just have to accept what I have. Loved the video. Thanks for all the help you give to us all.💖💕
Hi Helen if you don't have these products here's what you can do. When you apply your current concealer use very little. Make sure you only apply it where you need it. Blend it out in that area only.Once it's blended well then you can blend the rest under your eye. Take a tissue and blot it. Then leave it. If you need to powder use a sponge dupe for the BB and use it damp but not soaking wet. Dip it in the finest powder you have and apply it. Right after go back and gently remove the excess powder. See if that works for you. If you can't powder than just follow the first steps. Application is key. Too much concealer will settle no matter what.
Thank you Annie for doing this video! Fortunately I don't have dark circles under my eyes, I just use my foundation as my concealer. I do need to powder though and love the tip of the beauty blender. I have seen people bake with it but I don't need to do that either. I do just a quick sweep under my eyes to set it. I will try it with the BB and see if that works better! love and Hugs!
I love that you show us how, and you ACTUALLY try the things you show us !! You work and I appreciate that. A lot. I enjoy watching you so much. And I even watch the whole thing without getting bored !! Love you. My tip always is to Pat and dab. ! I use a damp beauty blender (the smaller ones) and dab
Hi Mercedes I'm so glad this was helpful. Our under eyes are the hardest challenge at our age. I've never been able to powder under my eyes and now I can. Let me know how this works for you.😘
I don't know if Elf still makes there undereye primer but it's all the same to me as the Smashbox. So it's a good alternative to the Smashbox if anyone is budget conscious. I've used the Smashbox for years.
I have been having a hard time with the under the eye as well. Thank you! And God! I loved the human in you. I’m blind as a bat, take pictures of my makeup/skincare small print 😂
I love your videos, Anne! Thank you so much for addressing the needs of older mature women. You are beautiful and I love how you curl your hair! Do you have a video for that?
It looks very natural Anne, which I really like. Great tips! I use an under eye primer by Elf, and it works great. You always bring us such useful and practical tips. Thank you!
I like this but i don’t think i could mix my color corrector with my concealer because then it wouldn’t be the color i want under my eye. I only want the concealer color visible
I never realized you could put concealer right on top of corrector. That would prevent one less step so I’m going to give it a try. I also prefer using a damp beauty blender to set my powder. Great tips; thanks Annie :)
Aha! Very useful thank you Annie. I’ll definitely be trying the damp blender sponge. I didn’t even know they did under eye primer...where have I been!!! A few videos ago you asked if anyone had any suggestions for make up videos...well I’ve begun to notice I’m getting a bit jowelly, (I’m not even sure that’s a word lol) , my jawline isn’t as firm as it used to be. Also my neck is starting to look a bit scrawny...any suggestions? Don’t really want to go down the turtleneck sweater and scarves just yet! 😂
I'm so glad this was helpful. Oh girl my face is falling too LOL! But I think a few things help to keep my skin firmer and it's probably something you need to look into. I haven't had any procedures. I'm not against them I just don't want to do them myself at this point. But you need to build up your collagen. We lose much of it as we age. Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C,Retinol.These all help promote collagen in our skin. And always wear sunscreen it does more than protect us from skin cancer. When skin cells are damaged it reduces the production of collagen. I also use a collagen powder in my coffee every morning. It's from Vital proteins. I've shared that on a few of my empties videos. I hope that helps🙂
Nice! I'm going to look into that primer. The powders you mentioned don't work for my under eye, either. I like the W3ll people & Sydney Grace. Hv not tried the CT loose powder. I definitely prefer the lancome effacernes over the other. The CT color corrector is a big thumbs up from me. Thanks for the trial and error/testing. :)
It looks great! I struggle with undereyes. I never use powder because i think it looks terrible. I end up putting cream on my undereyes over the concealor throughout the day. Probably not the best option but my undereyes are so dry. Looks like I should order an undereye hydrating primer and also try the tissuing off as you suggested. Thank you for your perseverance with this troublesome issue. I will definitely try. 💗
Follow-up comment...this is a super DUPER set of tips to get great looking undereyes! I can’t believe I didn’t think of blotting the excess concealer, etc, before now. Highest of fives! 🥰
The Becca (blue) eye primer is fab. Takes a tiny amount. Makes eye area smooth as silk. Mel Thompson recommended it in recent video. Becca is 30% off right now (I think)
AnneP all your makeup is beyond beautiful today !! I love the soft pinks on you especially with those pretty cone trees in the background. Hoping you tell us the shadow pallet you’ve used (and hoping I own it) 😘😘😘
Hi Cheryl! Those pine cones are from Micheal's craft store. I bought them a few years ago. I'm wearing a cream shadow and powder. I shared this look here ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html 😊💖💖💖💖
Wow, you look gorgeous!!! Loved how you did your makeup and hair. I also need to mention I have dark circles in a complete circle. Seriously like a raccoon. I thought since I was aging but, my sister said I’ve had them since I was little?!?! Ok, thanks Anne. Ok, I see you have videos on my questions. 😃
Thank you so much! I'm 48 , it's been driving me crazy! I have naturally dark circles ( plus fine lines) genetics. Plus the lovely puffiness under my eyes. ‼. I fight rosacea also . Again thank you ! I see all the twentysomethings just slap on the make up... Ummm if I did that I'd look like I played in a mud pit and let it dry ⚠
Hi Anne, I'm sixty and I found if I wear a light shade or too light or white shade concealer Under my eyes the light draws attention to it. I wear a shade darker. Thanks for your tips.
Thank you for the extreme close ups!! I've ❤️ Lancôme Maquicomplet concealer for years. Correcteur (yellow) covers red SO well. I don't use it under my eyes because the matte(ish) finish doesn't look as skin-like as I want. But it's an excellent product!
Hi Anne thanknyou for another great tutorial, yoyr u dereye looks great im definately going to try this method , ive struggled to find a way to stop creasing there or lessen it at least , ive been trying the elf cameo concealer and its not bad , thanks again all the best Mary 🌼🎄🌼
You look Stunning, bit jealous. I did say no ones going to get that close. I suddenly have broken viens around my nose. I haven't used Retin A for a month. I think, only think that was helping. I am gonna use the middle one .5 it seemed to help my skin more. I know it's a long term thing. But the middle one was easy peasy. Wish i could do my eyes like that. Trying, not enough though. love to you & family Tabitha too the photo bomber queen. So funny xxx💕❤💞🐈🐾🐾
Here's a tutorial on this look.ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html I listed the shadows above in the description and it's mentioned in the video I linked as well. The palette is no longer available but you can use colors that are similar😉
After your last video trying to resolve this issue, I gave it some thought and ended up trying my Tatcha silk canvas as the under eye primer. Then I used pretty much the same technique as yours today for applying concealer, but used Sisley phyto-powder to set it, and later, setting spray to set all the makeup. I thought these products worked very well together to eliminate creasing and give a nice finish without looking “powdered.” They’re expensive products, but solving the problems of 50+ year old skin often doesn’t come cheap I’ve found😑.
Hi Annie 🙋♀️ Something just hit me as you were talking. "Some of you suggested this, some of you suggested that" as you went through each step of the process. I realized that I don't think there is a universal solution to under eye concealer. I think the trick is for everyone to mess around with various products until they get it right for their under eye. I may take some lessons from you and some from somewhere else to make a total solution.
Hi Laura, I agree and I said that at the end that this may work or it may not. But something that will help is to apply it correctly and blend it well. No matter what you're using if you don't apply it just where you need it and you don't blend it well it won't matter what product you put on it. I don't have to use a powder to set my under eyes. I've shared that in other videos because it's how I apply it and blend it. BUT I like the way a powder looks because it adds more of a filtered look because it takes the shine down 😉💓Thank you so much for watching and for expressing your opinions.
@@MakeupForMatureSkin I prefer a touch of powder also. Ya know what else I was thinking. I think the single most important thing we all share is the need for hydration under the eyes. That is a unique as concealing in terms of what works! Lol. Again there, I have no fail proof method, but under eye masking in addition to the usual steps definitely helps the cause. The whole thing is really a pain in the butt! Thanks for all your efforts. I so enjoy your channel. 😘🌷
I had mentioned the undereye primer so am glad to see you found it. I have been using thistle for years. Could a stippling brush work as well as the style you are using

I love your natural eyelid color ! I would pay for that
Well I have lots of veins and redness I just cover it up with a primer before I apply my shadows.😉
The Becca anti fatigue under eye primer is nice too. My biggest problem is that i have an actual fold below my tear duct area - and that is part of the dark circle I want to fix. This is a challenge I have not yet figured out
Hi Chris yeah I understand. I wish I could totally disguise my scar on my lip but nothing has of yet. Hope you have a wonderful weekend💖💖💖
I like the under eye primer by Elf. I can't use Smashbox because it isn't cruelty free.
I think, like you, that when you reach a certain again, you can't pack on the concealer. Little dabs is the way to go. And yes to blotting with a tissue. It works.
Bare Minerals makes a nice lightweight concealer.
Your under eye area looks incredible.
Thanks, Anne. Enjoy the warm weather for me. ❤😘
You're welcome Rene. And thank you so much for sharing your routine and recommendations. This is so helpful. I wish I could send you some your way. I'm very thankful for each day here. Sending warm hugs💓💓💓
@@MakeupForMatureSkin thank you, Anne. As always, you have such great tips and tricks.
Yes, please do send some warmth this way. Every winter, I wonder why I'm on the east coast! Hugs back❣🤗
Great tips, I love the jcat aquassurence concealer hands down. It stays on my face all day until I actually remove it. Key is to let it sit drying for a few minutes before you set it with powder. I'm always looking for different ways to make my makeup look and stay better.
Hi Gina! Oh thank you so much for sharing. I haven't heard of that one.
Anne...thank you for this video. I have been trying some of your tips from this video over the last few weeks. I'm in the group that has dark circles under my whole eye - and have had that ever since I can remember. So I have accepted that I won't be able to totally get rid of them...but I can disguise them as best as I can. Your tips have helped me greatly with NOT having the concealer crease and the powder from making everything stand out to much more and making me look like the crept keeper lol. Thank you for all the tips. I think I finally have a a couple of products and application techniques that are finally working!!!!!
Yay!! That makes me so happy!!!😚💖💖
I love that you’re using a magnifying glass to read the wording on the product - I’m not alone😂😂
😂Nope you're not alone😂If I leave my house without my readers I'm in trouble.
I'm already wearing Progressives oh Lord
Same here. My only difference is I don’t mix the corrector and concealer but I might start trying that. I also use one of the purple Real Techniques eye brushes. If I forget the undereye primer, it’s a disaster.
Yeah that's been a game changer! Best under eye primer!
Hi Anne. I just live in the wrong part of the world. All you mention I try to get from our makeup stores here. I mentio something and the beauty consultants have never heard of that product before. So I will just have to accept what I have. Loved the video. Thanks for all the help you give to us all.💖💕
Hi Helen if you don't have these products here's what you can do. When you apply your current concealer use very little. Make sure you only apply it where you need it. Blend it out in that area only.Once it's blended well then you can blend the rest under your eye. Take a tissue and blot it. Then leave it. If you need to powder use a sponge dupe for the BB and use it damp but not soaking wet. Dip it in the finest powder you have and apply it. Right after go back and gently remove the excess powder. See if that works for you. If you can't powder than just follow the first steps. Application is key. Too much concealer will settle no matter what.
@@MakeupForMatureSkin many thanks for those tips. Will definitely try that. Xxx
I just love your personality and your videos!.. thank you so much!!!. Great video!
Thank you so much Linda💖💖💖
Hello Anne 😘😘😘 Thanks for the awesome tips. I think I should try the Smashbox primer. I love Chanel's concealer. It works so nice on me.
Yes this primer is fabulous!!! I think you'd enjoy it with the Chanel💖💖💖😘
I'm sold on that Smashbox primer! Thanks for great suggestions!
You're welcome Stacy💖💖💖
It would’ve been great to see how you did your entire makeup application, as it looks wonderful! 😃
Thank you💖💖💖
I feel my under eyes looks best if I put nothing over them....even makeup. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you Kim💖Do what works best for you😘💖💖💖
Thank you Annie for doing this video! Fortunately I don't have dark circles under my eyes, I just use my foundation as my concealer. I do need to powder though and love the tip of the beauty blender. I have seen people bake with it but I don't need to do that either. I do just a quick sweep under my eyes to set it. I will try it with the BB and see if that works better! love and Hugs!
Hi Tanya! You're so lucky not to have to conceal under your eyes. Thank you so much for watching💖💖💖
I love that you show us how, and you ACTUALLY try the things you show us !! You work and I appreciate that. A lot. I enjoy watching you so much. And I even watch the whole thing without getting bored !! Love you. My tip always is to Pat and dab. ! I use a damp beauty blender (the smaller ones) and dab
Hi Louise! I'm so glad they've been helpful. Yes, blend, blend, blend and dab. A little goes a long way. Too much and it will still settle.
Will definitely try these tips!!, undereyes are a real struggle 😫, Thanks Anne!! Another great video full of useful tips 💖💖
Hi Mercedes I'm so glad this was helpful. Our under eyes are the hardest challenge at our age. I've never been able to powder under my eyes and now I can. Let me know how this works for you.😘
I don't know if Elf still makes there undereye primer but it's all the same to me as the Smashbox. So it's a good alternative to the Smashbox if anyone is budget conscious. I've used the Smashbox for years.
Thanks so much for sharing 😘
I have been having a hard time with the under the eye as well. Thank you! And God! I loved the human in you. I’m blind as a bat, take pictures of my makeup/skincare small print 😂
You're welcome 💓💓💓💓
I love your videos, Anne! Thank you so much for addressing the needs of older mature women. You are beautiful and I love how you curl your hair! Do you have a video for that?
Thank you so much Tammy💖💖Here's a recent video I shared ua-cam.com/video/RlpOcDMQBnY/v-deo.html
You have sold me I will give this a try. Thank you for this video!
You're welcome Theresa💓💓
It looks very natural Anne, which I really like. Great tips! I use an under eye primer by Elf, and it works great. You always bring us such useful and practical tips. Thank you!
Thank you so much Beth. I'm so glad this was helpful.💖💖💖
I like this but i don’t think i could mix my color corrector with my concealer because then it wouldn’t be the color i want under my eye. I only want the concealer color visible
I never realized you could put concealer right on top of corrector. That would prevent one less step so I’m going to give it a try. I also prefer using a damp beauty blender to set my powder. Great tips; thanks Annie :)
You're welcome Susan💖Yes, it's multi-tasking and it works great blending the two together😉
Thank u so much for your videos. I always pick up a new tip or trick that I cannot wait to try!
Hi Samantha I'm so glad they're helpful. Thank you so much for watching💖💖💖
Aha! Very useful thank you Annie. I’ll definitely be trying the damp blender sponge. I didn’t even know they did under eye primer...where have I been!!! A few videos ago you asked if anyone had any suggestions for make up videos...well I’ve begun to notice I’m getting a bit jowelly, (I’m not even sure that’s a word lol) , my jawline isn’t as firm as it used to be. Also my neck is starting to look a bit scrawny...any suggestions? Don’t really want to go down the turtleneck sweater and scarves just yet! 😂
I'm so glad this was helpful. Oh girl my face is falling too LOL! But I think a few things help to keep my skin firmer and it's probably something you need to look into. I haven't had any procedures. I'm not against them I just don't want to do them myself at this point. But you need to build up your collagen. We lose much of it as we age. Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C,Retinol.These all help promote collagen in our skin. And always wear sunscreen it does more than protect us from skin cancer. When skin cells are damaged it reduces the production of collagen. I also use a collagen powder in my coffee every morning. It's from Vital proteins. I've shared that on a few of my empties videos. I hope that helps🙂
Very frustrating! I’m definitely going to try these techniques. Thanks for another great video!
You're welcome Kim💖💖💖
Nice! I'm going to look into that primer. The powders you mentioned don't work for my under eye, either. I like the W3ll people & Sydney Grace. Hv not tried the CT loose powder. I definitely prefer the lancome effacernes over the other. The CT color corrector is a big thumbs up from me. Thanks for the trial and error/testing. :)
Powders are tricky. They can be too drying if not on the right skin type. After my no buy I want to try some things from Sydney and Grace.
It looks great! I struggle with undereyes. I never use powder because i think it looks terrible. I end up putting cream on my undereyes over the concealor throughout the day. Probably not the best option but my undereyes are so dry. Looks like I should order an undereye hydrating primer and also try the tissuing off as you suggested. Thank you for your perseverance with this troublesome issue. I will definitely try. 💗
Hi Daphne, application is key as well. Only apply it where you need it, use very little and blend, blend, blend😉💖
Hey, kudos to you for the close-up of your under-eyes. It looked like skin, not crepe-y. High five, can’t wait to try it!
💖💖💖💖
Follow-up comment...this is a super DUPER set of tips to get great looking undereyes! I can’t believe I didn’t think of blotting the excess concealer, etc, before now. Highest of fives! 🥰
I've never used the damp beauty blender or the top with the paper towel. I'm going to try them, thank you!
You're welcome Julie💓💓💓
The Becca (blue) eye primer is fab. Takes a tiny amount. Makes eye area smooth as silk. Mel Thompson recommended it in recent video. Becca is 30% off right now (I think)
Wow really Love. The colors you have on your eyes Lips cheeks very very! Pretty netural Look
Thank you💖💖💖
I love the tutorial! I am also interested in how you got the curl in your hair?
Here's a playlist of my hair tutorials ua-cam.com/play/PLsMV86EENboVjq2nuTOh3oG6IIaX-jmbM.html
AnneP all your makeup is beyond beautiful today !! I love the soft pinks on you especially with those pretty cone trees in the background. Hoping you tell us the shadow pallet you’ve used (and hoping I own it) 😘😘😘
Hi Cheryl! Those pine cones are from Micheal's craft store. I bought them a few years ago. I'm wearing a cream shadow and powder. I shared this look here ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html 😊💖💖💖💖
Wow, you look gorgeous!!! Loved how you did your makeup and hair. I also need to mention I have dark circles in a complete circle. Seriously like a raccoon. I thought since I was aging but, my sister said I’ve had them since I was little?!?! Ok, thanks Anne. Ok, I see you have videos on my questions. 😃
Thank you so much💖💖Even if you have complete dark circles still apply it as I shared. Less is best and blend well.
Thank you so much! I'm 48 , it's been driving me crazy! I have naturally dark circles ( plus fine lines) genetics. Plus the lovely puffiness under my eyes. ‼. I fight rosacea also . Again thank you ! I see all the twentysomethings just slap on the make up... Ummm if I did that I'd look like I played in a mud pit and let it dry ⚠
You're welcome 💓💓💓
I tried concealing like you tuber that turned out nightmare 😄
Thank you for sharing, I now really want to try smashbox under eye primer.
You're welcome💖💖
It appears to be moisturizing!!
Yes, this lasts all day😉
Anne this was great. I am definitely going to try this step by step and play around to see if I can get similar results. Thank you for sharing ❤ xx
Hi June! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Please let me know how this works for you.
This looks great and I'm going to try it exactly the same. I love your eye makeup! Do you have a tutorial for this look?
Thank you so much Denise💓 Yes here's the tutorial for this eye look ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html
Thank you for this follow up!! 💞
You're welcome ❤️
Hi Anne, I'm sixty and I found if I wear a light shade or too light or white shade concealer
Under my eyes the light draws attention to it. I wear a shade darker. Thanks for your tips.
You're welcome Linda😘
Love this video. Great suggestions. You look wonderful. 💕
Thank you for the extreme close ups!! I've ❤️ Lancôme Maquicomplet concealer for years. Correcteur (yellow) covers red SO well. I don't use it under my eyes because the matte(ish) finish doesn't look as skin-like as I want. But it's an excellent product!
You're welcome💖Yes, I have that one as well. Lancome makes great concealers.
You are beautiful as always. I love my Lancôme as well. Thanks for the tips. You have me trying things even when I’m not going out anywhere, lol.
Thank you so much Dee! I play around with makeup even when I'm not going anywhere LOL too! It's just fun to play around with so you're not alone😘💓
Hi Anne thanknyou for another great tutorial, yoyr u dereye looks great im definately going to try this method , ive struggled to find a way to stop creasing there or lessen it at least , ive been trying the elf cameo concealer and its not bad , thanks again all the best Mary 🌼🎄🌼
You're welcome Mary😚I'm so glad this was helpful💖💖
How about Laura Mercier under eye powder? There is also the Clinic line smoothing concealer...
Terrific tip, Anne! Thank you so much.
You're welcome Denise💖💖
That seems like way too many products to layer, but I’ll try it. Thanks!
Your eye makeup looks great!
Thank you so much Carla💓💓
Oh boy Anne I need this info for sure. Not just undereye but for my smile lines and fine lines near my smile lines lol.
I'm so glad this was helpful💖💖💖
Great tips! I’m def going to try this out. Yours looks great! Your make up look is stunning today! Tutorial?
Thank you so much! I shared this eye look in a recent video ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html🙂
Wow. That looks fantastic!
Thank you so much💖💖💖
You look Stunning, bit jealous. I did say no ones going to get that close. I suddenly have broken viens around my nose. I haven't used Retin A for a month. I think, only think that was helping. I am gonna use the middle one .5 it seemed to help my skin more. I know it's a long term thing. But the middle one was easy peasy. Wish i could do my eyes like that. Trying, not enough though. love to you & family Tabitha too the photo bomber queen. So funny xxx💕❤💞🐈🐾🐾
Thank you Angela💖💖Yeah finding the right strength of retin a is key. It just takes practice, you can do it😚💖💖💖
What eyeshadows did you use in this video? Love them and would love to see a tutorial on this eye look!
Here's a tutorial on this look.ua-cam.com/video/XIECKzF1HL8/v-deo.html I listed the shadows above in the description and it's mentioned in the video I linked as well. The palette is no longer available but you can use colors that are similar😉
I use the Tatcha peony cream and I love it! I’m going to have to try the Lancôme concealer. You’re makeup looks flawless and on point!😍
Thank you so much! I haven't tried any Tatcha products other than the setting spray several years ago. I may have to dabble in it.
After your last video trying to resolve this issue, I gave it some thought and ended up trying my Tatcha silk canvas as the under eye primer. Then I used pretty much the same technique as yours today for applying concealer, but used Sisley phyto-powder to set it, and later, setting spray to set all the makeup. I thought these products worked very well together to eliminate creasing and give a nice finish without looking “powdered.” They’re expensive products, but solving the problems of 50+ year old skin often doesn’t come cheap I’ve found😑.
Wow! You look fabulous. Very helpful tutorial! 💗
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that this was helpful💓
So I'm a little behind with this post, but I don't think they make that concealer anymore. Do have a new suggestion? Thanks for this!
My top three favorites are Sisley, Lancome Effacernes, and Anastasia pro pencil.
Hi Annie 🙋♀️
Something just hit me as you were talking. "Some of you suggested this, some of you suggested that" as you went through each step of the process. I realized that I don't think there is a universal solution to under eye concealer. I think the trick is for everyone to mess around with various products until they get it right for their under eye. I may take some lessons from you and some from somewhere else to make a total solution.
Hi Laura, I agree and I said that at the end that this may work or it may not. But something that will help is to apply it correctly and blend it well. No matter what you're using if you don't apply it just where you need it and you don't blend it well it won't matter what product you put on it. I don't have to use a powder to set my under eyes. I've shared that in other videos because it's how I apply it and blend it. BUT I like the way a powder looks because it adds more of a filtered look because it takes the shine down 😉💓Thank you so much for watching and for expressing your opinions.
@@MakeupForMatureSkin
I prefer a touch of powder also. Ya know what else I was thinking. I think the single most important thing we all share is the need for hydration under the eyes. That is a unique as concealing in terms of what works! Lol. Again there, I have no fail proof method, but under eye masking in addition to the usual steps definitely helps the cause.
The whole thing is really a pain in the butt! Thanks for all your efforts. I so enjoy your channel. 😘🌷
You are looking even more beautiful. I will try your technique Thank youuuui ❣️❣️❣️
Thank you so much!💓💓
Such a pretty Christmasy background 🌲. Ok time to rewind and watch 🤗
Thank you so much Maria💖💖💖💖💖😘
Excellent tutorial Anne 🤩
Thank you Jo💖💖💖Hope you have a fabulous weekend😘
I had mentioned the undereye primer so am glad to see you found it. I have been using thistle for years. Could a stippling brush work as well as the style you are using
Yes you could try that. Makeup brushes are tools. I think we all have our favorites😉You could also try using a damp makeup sponge.
You mentioned you loved another concealer a little better. What concealer was that?? Thank you
Hi Terri! I use Lancome Effacernes in light buff.🙂
