Thanks so much for watching, I love you! ♡ - Навчання та стиль
omg when you said "I was diagnosed" my heart dropped! but then i was like "oh..." hahaha you got me good nikkie.
Ikr. I was gonna get really sad and emotional.
Lol sammeeee
Me too xDD
Mine too, it scared the hell out of me ....
Same!
My three year old daughter watched this video with me. Before you even put any concealer on she said, "Oh, what's here name?" I said, "That's Nikkie" and she said, "She is so pretty!! She looks just like Elsa!" 😊😍
Omg adorable 😀😆
Omg that's so cute 💕💜
THATS PRECIOUS
That's adorable
Awww
What I found works best for me is to apply as little concealer as possible, not the thick layers you always see on UA-cam. because it may look good on video but in real life thick makeup is very noticeable. I put one drop of concealer under each eye and blend it out with my ring finger because it provides less pressure than inder or middle finger. Then set with skin-color powder as lightly as possible. If a thicker layer is needed in a particular spot like closer to the nose, add more there but don't do unnecessary thick layers of concealer under your entire eye. It looks much better if your undereye circles are showing through a thin concealer a bit than if you have a cakey creased mess under the eyes.
+Maddy Ruth Ahh me too and that sucls
Finally I see something saying what I'm saying 🌚😂❗️💯.. E erupting when I see a makeup video I always say why tf is she applying thick layers then don't get me started on the function !!!!!!!!!! BRO like who did that 2 you they be using the new spoon makeup it look like they just painting they're face that little so called spoon brush is painting paint on them instead of paint the paint is the foundation
Tell me about it! What we see on UA-cam does not workout in real life! And when they do a closeup you can see how really awful it looks....Pores galore yikes 😳
But when u have huge awful under eye bags, you don't want to put as little as possible because it will look very very bad. I used to have the worst, they've gotten better since last week I had my tonsils and adenoids out, but they are still a little bad. Little product won't do it and it won't work. What about then?
But I have really dark circles:/
i think i'm just in that club where none of this baking magic works on me, no matter what i try it always creases and looks horrible :( :( i now have to just put a tiny dab of concealer under the inner corner and leave the rest bare, i wish i could cover my dark circles but it honestly looks better this way then when i put makeup on it and it accentuates my under eye lines (fml i'm only 24)
I have the exact same problem. baking makes my eyes look like I'm 35 and I'm 23! ughh
+likeastarbaby That's exactly what I do!! I keep my concealer to the inner corner area only and don't take it all the way to the outside corner. The only way to avoid creasing into smile lines is to keep that area bare. It looks so much better this way. Too much concealer looks awful under the eyes, and it makes you look older!
I tried baking but it made my under eyes look like I was 40 and I'm only 17
+likeastarbaby Have you tried dabbing a tiny bit of jojoba oil over your concealer?
Olivia Mullins i feel like that would make the area pretty shiny even with a very small amount...
I've been doing this technique for a long time and it nearly works with every concealer. I got one more additional tip:
Powder your undereye from the outer corner to the inner corner :)
Great tip! Thanks for sharing! ♡
why??
Yes i see what you are trying to say!! thank you :)
***** thanks for the info!
omg thanks for the tip !!
This totally works! I started doing this 3 months ago. I discovered this after being too lazy to grab a brush to set and decided to just use my beauty blender. I was amazed at how well it worked.
Your natural instincts ROCK! Haha
If I used that much concealer i would get creases, caking, & drying. Everyone is different but your circles aren't even that bad.
lilacshine9 same. i have deep set eyes and very dark sunken circles so if i put concealer or foundation there, it looks terrible and doesn't even do anything tbh...
do you use colour correctors btw?
MEMEnthusiast u can try use red color 1st before apply the concealer..this maybe works for your problem 😊
deqhaiku thanks, i'll try that out👌😊
me too...can't overdue it with the concealer otherwise it for sure will crease.
MEMEnthusiast d
My under eyes crease even when I'm not wearing makeup 😞
well obviously...
... ^
Lauren Cutler no shit
I accept with you me to ..احبكم كولش هوواية I'm from iraq and I like your accent
Contouring
A great tip TO AVOID THE POWDERY LOOK: after setting under eyes/face with powder and after apply other final products (blush, contour, highlight) ALWAYS finish with a setting spray. IT COMPLETELY ELIMINATES THE DRY POWDERY LOOK, and just melts everything to look poreless and like porcelain. Also sets for long wear and no touch ups needed for the night.
Sorry for the delay. Mac fix+, Model in a bottle, almost all the lines have one, check with Sephora.
However, I recently have been using Elf setting spray, it's only $3 and I think it works as well as Mac fix+. Nyx also has an inexpensive one that comes in either Matte or Dewy finish. I like the Elf one better, leaves a nice satin finish.
I just ordered a different one from Ben Nye, called Final Seal. I have not used it yet but it gets the highest ratings from Wayne Goss, Jessica89, lots of high end peeps too. It's only like 11 bucks for 2 oz, but says about 50 -75 uses, save for special times as it has alcohol. Smells minty I hear (yuk). But supposed to hold up even oily skin to sweat, highest heat, humidity, etc. Supposed to be THE BEST OF THE BUNCH as it is used by pro stage Broadway actors to hold up stage makeup against bright hot lights for Long hours. Surely our MOST STRESSFUL days can't be that bad, we hope, lol.
( Save the B.N. Final Seal for special, grueling days/events) and Try the Nyx or Elf for affordable daily wear, (I never go without a setting spray, after my final powder set.) Spray a few times, let dry, spray again. X pattern, then z pattern, include sides of face, eyes. This gives tone and cheeks extra coverage. I spray over my liner, mascara and lip, but if the spray to is too wet, the liner, mascara may run so go light there, 1 to 2 sprays is good for eyes.
Loreal has a new one, good price, good reviews, I have not tried yet.
Good luck, stay beautiful, but remember it's just makeup, not too serious, just have fun with it! :-)
+Renee Conroy go watch jaclyn hills new full foundation routine ...she talks about setting sprays alot in that video.... in my personal experience the urban decay ones are the best :) but that's just me
+ErinLuxe I love urban decay. I use their spray in the morning, and my makeup lasts all day until I take it off at night, and I'm out in the elements (I'm a large animal vet tech)
I couldn't believe that my make up was still 100% in place at lunch the first day I used it!! And, they are completely cruelty free (as is ELF, which is reasonable in price :))
Glamour Babies. Well The Loreal setting spray which has really good reviews I feel gets rid of the powder so I start to crease again also fix+ by Mac does the same and moves around makeup
Omg, I have suffered for years with my concealer creasing. I have tried high and low end products with no luck. Watched your video, tried it at work today and no creasing at all. Thanks so much you have given me the cure I've been looking for for years. Amazing x
Here in august 2019
Nikkie wearing a brush for foundation
"The less products underneath the eyes the better"
WHAT IS THIS WORLD
Same
I’m confused too
Wearing a brush ??
In 2020, what black magic is this, she would never!
I've had SUUUUUUUUUUCH a struggle trying to figure out how to avoid creasing under my eyes. I'm so so frustrated at this point! Thank you for making this video. Going to give it a shot.
I did this and had the worst experience this morning! I had patches under both eyes! It was a disaster.
I think your sponge might have been too wet. Try using it with a damp, but definitely not wet-wet sponge.
I thought that might be it too!
Or you have dry skin
definitely not!
Quite the opposite actually.
+NikkieTutorials could that also cause creasing?! Mine creases no matter what like crazy 😩😩 i feel like if my beauty blender is not that wet my face will dry out!
THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST SOMEONE FINALLY WAS OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT HOW PRO LONGWEAR DOOOOOESSSS CREASE!!! Thank you! I have it, but it does crease on me! Whenever someone says it doesn't I wanna be like who are you? How does it not? Are you lying? lol
Right! I hate when ppl say it doesn't crease!
Well for me it doesn't crease,however for my friend it creases on her. I guess it all depends on your skin type (and no I'm not lying maybe I'm that 1% that has the magical powers of unicorns to stop it from creasing?)
Mine doesn't crease at all. And iswear I'm not lying. I think it is just different for everyone.
I must admit Ive always been using a Beauty blender and I do each eye one by one and set it before I go to the other eye. But it never creases on me. And I am not lying! ;)
Christine Jung lol! Please teach me your magical powers of unicorns :(!
awe nikkie looks so cute here😂😍
New baby songs
I’ve recently been looking up beauty gurus for makeup tips, & I felt like all the videos I watched the people made themselves look amazing, bc their professional makeup artists... & I can’t relate. Idk why but u make it easier, & I feel your very relatable to the everyday women! Thank you!❤️❤️
I only found creasing if i used too much concealer, I feel like that was the bigger issue. When i used what i actually needed and yes very quickly set it, I found that it not only looked more natural but the creasing stopped as I too have natural creasing in my under eye skin anyway. But the goal for me was if i did look up or take a selfie lol that it looked fresh at all times. So thats another option. I know a lot of gurus really pile it on sometimes so sometimes, esp with MAC a little goes a long way.
I think that's the biggest issue. I used to apply pro longwear like I've seen everyone here do. But it ALWAYS looked crepey and creased. Then I started doing what lisa eldridge does where she swipes lightly and actually moves the product to wear it needs to go and even swipes some off and ADDS if she needs more. Now not only do I use way less product it never ceases and looks super natural! I also use the rt sponge to set it but I always did that and it didn't really do anything before. I really like Lisa's way of doing concealer.
xxgoodnevil17xx Let's be honest, I think most of us like Lisa's way of doing everything! Haha!
I mean don't get me wrong I love this channel bc of the high fashion looks. So I don't really look for the helpful tips. Lisa is where I go to get a more natural finish as she is older and I feel her before and after a are achieved with very little makeup and she looks beautiful. So her techniques are my every day. And here is where I come for my girls nights lol
i agree, the amount of concealer most beauty gurus use is really not necessary- of course, i support anyone using any amount of product they want, but i know through trial and error for myself that i only need a very small amount in a target area to get a great final effect :)
Agreed for sure. :D
I tried this it works!!!! I'm saved.
Hooray!! 🎉🎈
i have such teary eyes(plus i use contacts) that even a light breeze can make me tear, if i lay my head to a side, my eye gets teary. are my undereyes bound to crease?
I have the same problem. I use this technique and it doesn't crease on me unless I sweat (such as at work). :)
i thought this was only me!
+situative k +Madi son +Lily Pierce You guys should probably see someone about that, 'cause it can be bad news for the surface of your eyes...
+3cc3ntr1c1ty i dont think that its a medical condition as both my mom and grandmom are like that too. Some people have naive eyes i guess. But thanks for your concern
Okay, if you're sure ^^ 'cause it's just that it sounds like dry eye to me, (I have it myself, you see) and that can be caused by many things, from blocked Meibomian glands, strong winds, air conditioning, to just simply having larger eyes. Contact lenses can sometimes exacerbate it, too, as you've probably experienced. There's lots of over-the-counter eye drops you can choose from to help the stability of the tear film & reduce the symptoms, but since I don't know you in person or know your full situation, I don't want to make blind recommendations, haha. That's why I said you should see someone about it first (even if it's your local pharmacist - I know optometrists or general practitioners can be expensive in some places). If you decide to get eye drops, just make sure you get the ones suited for contact lenses =)
I've been using this technique for about 2 years and I love it...😍
Same! I think they call it "baking" in make up language these days? :p not sure.. but I've always been doing it and it's amazing😍😍
I tried this technique today for the first time with a regular makeup sponge and IT FUCKEN WORKS. I'm 18 and already have visible fine lines building up under my eyes :( also, I have very bad dark circles, so I have to pile on concealer, which makes it look so damn cakey. This made it look soooo much better. The only thing I personally don't like is that, even though it gets rid of the creasing, it looks powdery.
I have the same problems you have, I have bad lines and extremely dark circles so I'm always putting on a ton of concealer, I knkw more than I should, and it drives me nuts!
Ju M. someone said a few comments below to try a setting spray, that it gets rid of that powdery look.
Ju M. Start early with some form of peptides for undereye and something with collagen. Also use sunscreen and save your skin while you can. Believe me it's nice to have people think you're 15 yrs younger than you actually are.
Loulwa Al Qublan I don't know if that would work. I would use less concealer but would use the corrector, which would also add to the texture.
Loulwa Al Qublan you def know what you're talking about.. she should take your advice bc ive seen this trick done by many beauty guru's!
That's the trick I use on all my clients!! Even better, try setting with a makeup buff! Works a lot better! Trust me!! As usual, you're hilarious and I love watching you so much!! kisses!
I'm sorry but what is a makeup buff?
***** Thank you! =)
comebacksparkles !
a huge powder puff like Sona is mentioning, is used daily in television, film and editorial, so yeah there are no complaints from there
comebacksparkles ! Look at gossmakeupartist he and Lisa Eldridge are masters in applying makeup and giving the best tips!
MAKEUP_ADDICT1971
Gossmakeupartist is actually pretty bad imo, he's not a real MUA like he claims to be. I don't think he's really that good with make up either, it always ends up looking muddy and heavy. Lisa is indeed amazing though! I love her so much.
OMG! Thank you Nikkie for making this video. It absolutely works. I tried the technique yesterday and I felt so confident and beautiful. What a great solution to a Troublesome problem. Everyone should give this a try at least once.
Love this technique! Works great for guys too!
just to be on the even safer side, apply eye primer to the under eyes. the eye primer helps the eye shadow from creasing so it will do the same with concealer.
"I was diagnosed with a severe case of..." You freaked me out for a second, haha.
Ok, I *never* comment on UA-cam videos, especially old ones that have a gazillion views because, what's the point? But I just have to say that you are *so* sweet, genuine and fun to watch! I can just tell that you make an awesome best friend. I would binge watch a TV show featuring you hard core. You're amazing!
I love your makeup in this video! It's so cheerful and summery!
This is so nostalgic. “The beauty blender comes in a bunch of colors now”
does anyone else hear this "blowdryer" in the background😁
+sandramaliibuu yes
thank you soo much for this tip. my under eyes have been creasing up lately (due to aging) and it made me start feeling insecure because of it, so last night i searched "how to avoid under eye creasing " and your video came up. i tried today and I'm amazed how my under eyes haven't creased. This makes me so happy, thank you for sharing 😘
YOU'RE MAKEUP SLAYS IN THIS OML YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL
no lie. i seriously have always done this and my gawwd it works wonders!!!
AAAHHH I always get so happy when you put a video up! I love you so so much! :D
Omg, I just tried that and it's WOW! I would always struggle with my concealer (my wrinkles were really showing it off) but that's a lifesaver, it really really works! Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much I was about to give up too but I think I'll give it another try following your instructions! I've got everything I need and I was SO close to your example there's hope for me yet!
Awe sweety the world is cruel but you're beautiful. Thanks for taking time to teach us to do the same.
would have been nice to see a close up
I too have struggled with this debilitating disease off under eye creasing mind you I'm over the big 40! Thanks .... I was using powder but clearly not enough on my damp sponge !! You may have cured me I will try tomo !! Thanks Nikki !!
BTW you are gorgeous!!
Just seeing this now in 2018. It took me a while to figure out what had changed but I realised it's your lips. I think they looked better before all the filler. Just more natural and beautiful. That said, do what makes you happy!
Mine creases as soon as I smile, it's just the smiles of my eyes. So I just deal with it! :D
Nope. If you are dry under your eyes, the powder makes you look 80.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
OMG! NIKKIE. I started watching your videos obviously after you got your lips done. I'm so surprised! You look a lot different, (NOT bad different!!!!!!). I've been having a problem with the creasing too, so I searched for tips and your video came up, I was so excited. Lol, I've yet to finish watching. Hope the tips work for me. Thanks for sharing.
Yay! I have been struggling with the creasage for ages. Was getting really fed up and like you, was guna just give up. Saved the vid for me to try out later!!
Thanks for the tip. I reaaaalllllyyyyy needed it! I almost began to hate wearing makeup, go figure haaa!
Awe Baby Nikkie!! I’m watching this in 2019! Love you girl!!
You look great with and without lip fillers, Nikki! Wow!
And thanks for doing all that hard work coming up with a way to stop creasing
this light eye makeup look is so good on you!
She somehow looks 10 years younger in this video. It's so cute how her final makeup looks in this video compared to her videos now
I had the same problem then started using nars radiant creamy concealer and never had that problem again
Changed my life. Nikkie you are a GODDESS! Thank you 😭💖
Just watched this and I am so happy I did! I cannot wait to try this out tomorrow morning!! Thank goodness your keeping it real!
I have wrinkly eyes, always have & for me the creasing was almost inevitable until I started blending it in with my fingers. I'll let it set for a bit & then before setting with a powder I take my finger and blend it a little bit more & I get no creasing at all.
thats what I do!! works like a charm :)
I think I'll try her way anyway just to see if it works Lol 😊
Yes!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!! It works!!!!!!!! Until the end of the day!!!!!! Unbelievable!!! Thank you!!!
Finalllyyyy!!! Thank you!!!! I've been dealing with crease for way to long!! You are my healer xxxx
Not sure if I posted this or not but thanks SO MUCH for sharing this tip! It really works!!! My concealer ALWAYS creased! I just stopped wearing it. Don't know why this works but it does! Please try it ladies! Love your channel doll!
I love you 😀 you've helped me so much in becoming a better artist
OMG it works!! I have had this problem for so long and now it's solved because of you! Thank you!! I love you!! :)
Omg im so fascinated by her makeup and her eyes in this video, so pretty.
I don't know why my under eyes look so dry when i use this technique. Any tips?
You are so young with no under eye problems
Do you find you get flashback from the LM Secret Brightening Powder? If so do you have an alternative that looks as great in the daytime that doesn't cause flashback? I've used it for years but have noticed it's giving me a lot of flashback lately.
you saved my makeup life Nikkie, i love you so much! 😭💞
Nope. Still creasing on me 😊🔫
me too 😭😭
+Eleonora Bottan put some kind of setting powder on it
I always do it but idk why it creases anyway
+Eleonora Bottan maybe, this is a trick I use, apply te powder from the outward corner of the eyes to the inner corner
+Jasmine Margetts I'll try, thanks
who else watching this in 2018?
shami shami me
Watching in 2076
KamaroPayne lol
Me😂
shami shami meeeeeeeeee
I've never had an issue with under eye creasing until the last couple weeks. I take a lot of pride in other areas of my life outside of aesthetics, but this trivial REALLY got to me! :( ...Going to try this trick tomorrow. Thank you!!!
thanks so much!! i have really oily skin and my concealer always creasesd like crazy. i tried this and have had really good results every day even though it is hot and sweaty in NYC right now. i used NARS radiant creamy concealer, sephora brand smoothing translucent setting powder, and just lightly misted my beauty blender with 1 spray of tarte rainforest of the sea hydrating mist thing that i got as a sample
I think she's better with her natural lips, she's so cute 😍
Love, I'd like to see a zoom in to make sure there really is no creasing. Also if it changes later in the day...
Because of this technique, my undereye does not crease. I am so glad to have found you!!
Thanks!!
Soooooooo appreciate this tip! I'm a ripe old 36 now, and the little wrinkles are getting hard to work around... definitely gonna give this a try!
could a regular loose translucent setting powder still work? or does it have to be white like the laura mercier secret brigtening powder? i always get flashback when i use a white powder like that
No, you can use whatever translucent loose powder you want:)
+Caroline Leitner Have you tried this technique with the innisfree no sebum loose powder?
Stay away from HD and brightening powders when you bake
+Hailee Palumbo why?it works just fine, been using city color for a month now..
+486davinci they flashback
How baking began😂😂
Nikkie you did it again!!! I can't wait to try this out tomorrow morning thanks girl x
Great video!!! Thankyou soooo much for sharing this trick.. I too have creasing problem.
in the 80s ALWAYS with the damp sponge for foundation, concealer AND power...always. We used sea-sponges and just cut them up (and I walked 10 miles in the snow for them hahaha) jk...old school always wins ;) Another great video. Thanks!
you just saved us we girls who have under eyes circles
your a life saver. been trying for weeks to not crease my under eye concealer thankyou so much x x x
I will be trying this technic tomorrow for my last holiday supper, looking forward to it!
I have veryyyy dark circles and every time i put concealer on it it wrikles :(
One thing I was told recently was (for dryer skin) to put foundation under your eyes first because concealer is very drying. So the foundation kinda protects. But then with colour correct AND concealer.... it's a layered one!
LuckyHell exactly omg... i can't use too much concealer under my eyes cause my face is dry af lol
this makeup looks so pretty on you!
I've literally been doing this technique for as long as I can remember, it's really good
I have horrible lines under my eyes! If this works I will love you forever!! :O Looking gorj as always though :)
okay.. just want to say.. OMG !! IT FREAKING WORKED :O Love you forver!!! Thank you for this tip! It worked a treat! :O *****
You look so much prettier with natural lips.
Exactly my thought!
Right?
Jennifer L she looks so weird here
I feel like she is so much more confident now tho??? That's all that should really matter 😕
I agree: lip filters, even when done really well age women.
You're eyeliner is giving my life honey!
I'm so happy I found this! I had the same problem with Mac prolong wear! It helps even more because we are the same shades😊
Girl keep the tips! Also, I like your hair better now w/o the black roots :P
*keep the tips coming
It was a wig..
Oops :/
I actually dislike the look of over bright under eyes! I like to but the concealer on my upper cheeks and blend it up to my under eye with my beauty blender.
*put
That's a good idea I'm going to try that
Just subscribed! I've watched a few of your videos before, but I'm now just getting around to subscribing lol You have such a great, likable personality that is fun to watch with very clear instruction. Thank you for putting these videos together! Its obvious you put a lot of effort into them and I completely appreciate it :)
Great job! I've been working on this problem lately as well. I hope this technique works as well on me!
Would a pressed powder work for this, or is a loose powder better?
+Natasha Milan prob super fine loose powder would be the best (the tinier the pieces of each powder is the less likely it is going to clunk up in your fine lines & crease if that makes sense) like ultra fine loose powder...
I tried it and It works wonders 💋💄😍
Queen Brendan omg your makeup in your profile pic looks flawless tbh
OK thanks for this suggestion, certainly will try it tomorrow! and your eye-shadow is incredible.....
you're so pretty... and your makeup is flawless hunny
That's great if you're 20something, not when you're 40 something and have fine lines and wrinkles under your eyes it makes you look older with the powder crepe paper city!!!
I have the lightest skin color known to man and I have yet to find a concealer lighter than my skin tone, are there any brands that make an almost white concealer?
I'm suffering from the exact opposite. Although I'm white I'm too dark /taned and they all look like super white halos under my eyes
+mariaH People on UA-cam make it look so damn easy haha
i use the maybelline dark circle eraser age rewind in "brightener" shade.. and I am very pale. works great!
You can find concealer or cover fx foundations that are a true white colour
+Sam Nars Chantilly is lovely and light
THIS. WORKS. SO. WELL.
I LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH NIKKIE
Edit: for the powder i use the bottom of my beauty blender and the tip to blend the concealer
Gracias for the tips Nikk!
omg there wasnt "Heeeelloo guys, it's me nikkie." in the past. it's weird 😂
