How To Minimize the Appearance of Under-Eye Hollows and Conceal Dark Circles

Hola, mis amores!
This is a topic and video that I have been wanting to tackle for a while. I get asked about under-eye hollows as frequently as I do about under-eye darkness. I wanted to ensure I devised a routine that genuinely worked before filming a dedicated video about it.
Hope you all enjoy this video and find it helpful :)

I've had raccoon eyes since I was a kid, and always got asked if I was getting enough sleep. Still struggling with my epic genetic dark circles, and now that I'm almost 40 it's rough getting anything to stay crease-free under my eyes! Love your vids, and hoping you'll have a holy grail for me :D

[@katherinefuller5267]

Same and same. I looked like a tired or sad/ scared child. And as I’ve gotten older, it’s only gotten deeper and darker. I’d look so much younger if only not for this :(

[@MeganMcDuffee]

@@katherinefuller5267 I feel ya

[@kitokkey]

i’m 29 and also always have hollows and they are quite darker than the rest of my face, and even my lid is slightly darker (which i don’t mind personnaly for the lid it’s like free eyeshadow lol). lately i’ve been using medicube age r device on my dark circles and my friend noticed that my skin looked good and my dark circles were lighter and i was like yeah i’m wearing concealer like usual and she said no like even your lids, your whole skin tone is more even ! And i’m not consistent with skincare products but i was using the device consistently for a week so I assume it’s thanks to that and there might be an « affordable » secret that actually has an effect☺️

[@fortune.]

Has anyone had actual significant positive experience using niacinimide under the eyes? I see it being talked about so much. I'm a simple gal, I grew up before all this makeup info and influencing happened, respectfully 😂 But I'd like to always improve and learn! Does that ingredient truly make a difference under the eyes regarding darkness? I ask, because the cost of under eye creams with and without that specific ingredient is what I see haha. I'll take any advice thanks!

[@katherinefuller5267]

@@fortune. I’ve had none. I’ve used a cream of one sort or another with it under my eyes for probably about 15 years now. It just keeps my purple, huge dark circles well hydrated 😂I asked my dermatologist who I’ve been seeing since 2012 if there’s anything prescription she could give me. She said she only knew of one Rx cream that had some efficacy (but very little) for the $300+ price tag. She said there’s virtually nothing out there that’s going to fix what I have going on under my eyes.

[@hopefountain5332]

I’ve been watching these videos for the last few hours (don’t judge lol) and this is the FIRST one where I actually felt like I learned something useful. THANK YOU!! From one chick to another with hardcore circles. Thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

[@resurgem]

What an amazing result! You are the only person I've seen who actually has dark hollows. Mine are considerably worse than yours because I am older, butit'ss great to see what can be done with the right products. (And skill of application, of course).

[@ekelly1642]

I truly appreciate how you considered different lightings, this is my first time coming across your yo6u channel and i just subscribed! So excited to try this! You explanined everything so thorough yet so simple for a beginner like me, thank you so much for this!

[@lolabohico]

I love that you're showing the results under different lighting

[@tamihewitt6562]

Wow, thank you Sarah! I've watched a million videos about concealing hollows, but the way you did it makes it look so easy!

[@SandraCruzLab]

Sarah I'm always so thankful for your content. Dark circles and deathly hollows club meeting called to order! I'm here for it ❤

[@NMK-b5n]

I have seen many KZbin classes on hollows. I saw yours for the first time and it's excited me to try because it's made such an amazing difference on you. Gonna try this for sure. Thank you Sarah 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@deemart7397]

I’ve seen a few videos (there aren’t many) of make up for under eye hollows and you’re is the BEST! I’d love to see one on concealing jowls for us full cheek girls!

[@johannareynolds8922]

Omg thank you soooo much!! This is the ONLY thing that has ever worked for me. I’ve battled “raccoon eyes” since I was a teenager (thanks to autoimmune issues and genetics). This method is the ONLY trick that has helped me at all. Bless you, Sarah!

[@julievang2664]

I have the same eye hallow and bags problems even as a kid. Im not experienced with make up but I love the tip with the setting powder brush. Recently I tried using the beauty blender and it became so cakey I ended up washing it all off. I'm also looking forward to try the setting spray on brush before I blend. Thanks for the tips!

[@Old_boring_gal74]

My mom passed away on July 26th and my dark circles have been terrible ever since bc of horrible lack of sleep, so i greatly appreciate this video, its right on time ❤❤❤

[@ginahamari7168]

I have had dark circles since I was 5 years old. I love to see different techniques to cover them and going to try a few of yours. I love the idea of the lighter highlighter shade. At 64 i have loads of wrinkles under the eyes as well so they have become more of a challenge. Just enough to cover but not too much to fall in wrinkles.

[@lindatillisauthor]

I am 73 and can't wait to try this awesome trick!

[@SunnyChampagne]

If you have fine lines try swapping the powder for setting spray with a brush. 1) Dab the setting spray with a brush. Let set for 30 seconds 2) color corrector 3) concealer 4) dab setting spray to seal the deal If you have fine lines skip the powder. I’ve used from drug store to very high end they all get cakey, dry and accentuate my fine lines. For me, this method works my concealer looks fresh, no settling, no touch ups for 8-12 hours. I hope this helps somebody 🌸🌸🌸

[@somabarua133]

​@@SunnyChampagne Ohh thanks for that tip. I hate powder for this exact reason

[@dreamscape405]

Agreed ❤ I haven't worn any powder on my face for over 10 yrs. I just spray with setting spray, and it works just fine. ❤🥂💃​@@SunnyChampagne

[@pavaninaidu89]

Wonderfully done. I also love your thought of showing us how it looks under different lightings 🙌🏻❤️ Bravo!

[@gidgitvonlarue9972]

Wow - best tutorial so far - than you so much Sarah! I don't have black circles - but bags under my eyes for sure. This all makes sense. Thank you! xx

[@midlifemom5829]

Yes i have trifecta of darkness, hollows, mature fine lines ☹️

[@joannsalas]

Queen!! You always do such a great job at these videos! No one explains like you and it's very much appreciated. Going to give this a try. I never used the setting spray so maybe that will help. I find that after about a half hour, my concealer is settling into my lines, and when I step outside, the lighting is different so it doesn't look as good as it did in the house. LOL

[@panyiaxiong82]

This is by far the best video for under eye hallows. I needed this. Thank you so much!

[@joellaanderson2921]

My skin tone is a little lighter, how do I know what corrector color(s) to use? Love your video and the dramatic change…beautiful!

[@agds91078]

Thank you for doing this vid! Hi I’m a new friend to your channel from Kentucky, I’m now in my mind 40’s and the last few years I have been fighting stage 2 triple negative breast cancer and back on 2020-2021 I did almost a full year worth of 3 types of chemo and it caused me anemia and low blood platelets so all of that caused me to have bad dark circles. I looked so weak and sickly and when I lost all my hair lashes and brows I took a break from my own beauty KZbin channel and I’m now in remission and pray for good I want to get back to doing vids and want to look my best once again, but I’m still dealing with these dark circles. My body underwent a lot of chemo and 4 breast reconstruction surgeries so I’m guessing I’m stuck with these dark circles but thank you for helping me learn how to hide them. ❤

[@MMV842]

Wow 🤩 I NEED to try this method! And I pray it works for me just like it did for you! Thank you! ❤

[@r.e.t.8656]

Thank you so much ❤ I’ve had these since childhood, and don’t want to use filler … I’m hoping this will help. Thank you again ❤

Get the huda beauty corrector people 🤣♥️ like I got it because of Sarah and literally it covers my entire dark under bags!!!!! I have it in peach

[@Luciiffeerr]

It’s so good 😊

[@angeliquenavarro263]

Truth! Even before I add skin, toned, concealer, or anything to it, it looks amazing when I blended out

[@aj__love5919]

@@angeliquenavarro263 right it makes a massive difference!! I just need to lower it alittle because my eyes get smaller when I put the concealer or corrector close to the eyes😂

[@lauradrucker8195]

It does not last long for me sadly 😢 like an hour later my dark circles are showing through.

I got ten years on you and I've given up as well. I tried fillers and it was a nightmare, they ended up blowing my eyes up with lumps and I had to have it removed.

Holy hell that bare minerals was literal magic. I’ve got everything else bar that, I’m buying it and trying this whole routine!

Great video and demo! Thanks Sarah! I will spray my concealer brush from now on. What a good tip 😊

[@jmla29857]

Hi! Love your channel. Can you share what moisturizer you use underneath before you apply this? Or do you not moisturize the under eye are before applying this product

[@debbiejaxel9205]

Looks great, Sarah. Really appreciate your Hollos and Concealer updates! (I was wondering about those Huda color correctors. Thanks for incorporating them in your tutorial.) Yes, these hollows and darkness are dreaded - and so hard to work with. Your tips always helpful!. Keep the tips coming! :-)

First time I seen Under eyes "HOLLOWS" I did not know thats what they are called I looked for sunken eye never found much., now let me hear what you have to say and do...... Loved it, Thnx for this . am gonna try this , I dont have dark undereye but hollows. My goodness u read my mind. I was thinkin that she should also show under natural lighting and you did that . YAY good job lady

[@triciacarolkilbride2993]

I am ❤❤ soooo glad i came across your channel as i always look ill with the dark hollows and very pale skin. Will be following your links and buying what youve suggested. So many products ive bought and all end up in the bin! Can i ask during the video what colour of lipstick you are wearing? It looks so much like my favourite Maybelline grape juice which i wear ALL the time but has sadly been discontinued. Tried so many lipsticks that look similar on the shade chart, but liok totally different on! Thanks and hope ya dont think im being too cheeky asking. Im in Scotland but hopefully i will be able to buy your products. Thanks again for the best beauty video, ever! ❤❤

[@merdecristofaro6118]

Thank you for viewing in different lighting. Technique is game changer!

1st time seeing u, I was so impressed but then told myself, I need to see u in natural or sunlight. Thx for the surprise :D Now I have to try ur technique 😊

[@TaraK172]

Thank you for this video. Would you do these same steps for a minimal makeup look?

[@mexifrida]

Thank you, I struggle with this and have tried many correctors and concealers. Love the technique! Would you recommend the fenty concealer if we have under eye lines? I usually have a lot of creasing with some concealers.

Best concealer video I’ve ever seen

[@katyee888]

Brilliant video. Great job. Thank you, Sarah. Well done. Really appreciate it.

[@swrigley9861]

That made an amazing difference. But what about those of us whose undereye skin wrinkles up when we smile? I feel like that's where makeup tends to settle on me.

[@chareebennett5017]

Excellent!!! I can’t wait to try this on myself!

[@jennysheeran6407]

Wow! I am going to have to try these techniques! Such a difference.

[@elisabethbey791]

hey sarah :) do you like the huda corrector more than the becca one ? i’ve been using the becca for years but lately i found the greyness to be more and more visible

[@amylewis7563]

Cool. Never have seen using setting spray with concealer. 😎

[@SunnyChampagne]

The setting spray with a brush is a game changer! What works for me is 1)setting spray- let it dry for 30 seconds, color corrector, concealer, setting spray. Never, ever, ever powder. The setting spray sets everything all day. 6am-6pm. No settling in lines. I don’t use powder it accentuates my lines. The setting spray has been a game changer.

[@TheLoulicious]

I’m definitely going to try this . I’m a deep hollow girly here

[@sabrinatortoradesigns]

This is magical

[@zwiggle-bear]

What’s the fluffy brush please?

[@bgtsy]

Beautiful difference. Thx for sharing

[@dragonyuja]

Is there a reason why u should use translucent vs powder w color?

[@Beyondzz]

From my personal experience, colored powder will make the entire color of the under eye a uniform color and usually, with a concealer, i found it darkens the area instead of brighten it (unless your powder is a much lighter shade), so it will waste ur effort in minimizing the appearance of the dark circles/deep tear trought area. I found clear powder maintains the exact placement and shades of the concealer(s) ive used, which is why its recommended

[@birdlover7776]

Looks really good!

[@ShofarPrincess]

[@denisemarie6131]

Peach. Pink. Salmon. Bisque. What color corrector is really best for the various darkness: blues; violets; browns? Thank you!!

[@elacampusano7341]

Hello, according to color theory, blue or purple circles under the eyes are corrected with yellow. On the other hand, if the dark circles are green, red or brown, with light salmon if your skin is light and darker salmon (for example, orange) if the skin on your face is darker. A hug 😘

[@denisemarie6131]

@@elacampusano7341 It is a trial and error with so many products to try, both color and formula. I used to wear yellow for years until I realized that peachy tones match my skin better and enliven my face even though there is a definite yellow to my skin. Dealing with undereye bags adds to the dilemma. It's like finding a good pair of jeans or nicely fitted bra....it takes trying and trying.... I probably am looking for a solution that doesn't exist aside from the filler. Reality.... Thank you for writing back!
