I love how you blend both sides evenly the same way, unlike some videos I see where the “wrong” side is botched to make the other side look flawless.

Yea I honestly can’t tell a diff

You do have flawless skin my dear or so it appears! :) Thanks!

I love your channel and demeanor! So, I still go all underneath but not in the V shape. I need color correcting due to genetic darkness under there sadly. But I keep it as minimal as I can! Would you consider doing a video on specifically concealing for undereye darkness? I'd love it. Thanks! 💜

[@kaycemorris9914]

I also have this issue. Would like to see video with color correction

[@CRS980]

I still use the triangle shape with a light weight concealer because I have dark circles and the shape is more flattering on my rounder face

[@sydney88888]

Interesting. I’ve always been afraid to try the triangle shape, but I have a round face as well so maybe I’ll try it out and see how it works! Thanks for mentioning that ❤

[@FindingMyTrueself]

finally somebody i can relate to. i have deep dark circles. after corrector if i use the dot technique it just highlights the dark Circle and corrector. people with barely noticable under eyes can get away with this technique

[@takarusushuma8875]

I also use the triangle shape with concealers to hide my deep dark circles,but i prefer using my concealer before foundation and applying the foundation afterwards neutralizes it so well!!!

[@IcedPeachTea]

Hi gang! I also have deep dark circles. What concealer do you guys wear, please? I’m so lost

[@CRS980]

@@IcedPeachTea for lighter coverage days I like the maybelline instant age rewind eraser. For more coverage I recently tried the one size beauty turn up the base butter silk concealer and like that one

What is the best technique for those of us with mature eyes & visible troughs? Love your videos!

[@main2333]

Your skin is still firm and young. Hard to tell. Both sides look good. Could you do this on a 50-55 year old?

[@maynardewm]

Ya that’s not gonna work if you have under eyes like mine that are very pigmented…

[@alexf9447]

Exactly. Just do what works best for you. There’s no wrong way as long as it’s blended properly.

[@chasingdreamswithritalacon8750]

So when you apply the "More Flattering" concealer which way did you blend it ? Did you blend it down? Or on the gap?

[@Amira-uu1bl]

Please post a video how you take care of your skin ! And what’s your favorite product’s ♥️

[@dorothyobrien7724]

Thank you! Learned something new again! ❤😊 I will tell you, I have been extending foundation (in a lighter color) along the outer eye area like you have here with the concealer. I was doing my eyeliner and I thought it would enhance it. I was just trying new things.

Bobby brown color corrector. Research each color ❤ Rare beauty & Fenty beauty has eye brightener now too.

[@kaycemorris9914]

Color corrector :peach covers blue/purple coloration. Green covers redness .

[@wdbreezy]

@@kaycemorris9914 Corrector helps with the discoloration, but not the hollows. Short of an eye lift, I’m not sure if there are products on the market that help with both issues (?)

[@s.7948]

Colour corrector

[@opalizard]

The best thing I've done as far as learning where to put which products is to just experiment and play with it. Trends are a fine place to start, but I think the best techniques will vary from person to person and you won't know what you like best until you try it. This one here wouldn't work for me personally bc I don't like concealing too close under my eye, and it completely misses where my dark circles are the darkest. The best part about makeup is there are no rules and you shouldn't feel ashamed of preferring one way of doing something over the other.

[@reyno6826]

I am learning so much from your videos!

[@MariahPhotographs]

Ooo thank you for this tip needed it

[@reinamachado9200]

Thanks for your advice

[@kathyvictoria6059]

Beauty gurus still do this tho. In one video they’ll say don’t ever do this but than the next they go ham w the concealer. It’s so confusing

[@frankiefrancy]

Unfortunately, heavy makeup photographs well and looks better on camera... the lighting washes away all colors and highlights all your skin concerns... in fact, editorial makeup has different requirements than normal everyday makeup. Social media has helped in diffusing the message that everyday makeup is heavy makeup, while it;s not like that.

[@simpleworld4514]

never did the triangle... did what i liked on me only. i still dont do the current trend, i only put concealer on the inner corner.

[@addymae4]

Okay but I have a dark spot from previous popped blood vessel. That’s the spot that needs most coverage for me

[@nelfasanez7313]

THANK U FOR SHARING❤

[@Naomiroseessentials]

I still love my 2014 upside down triangle 🔻😂❤

[@AmbitiouslyVicious]

Quality over quantity! I think the reason the triangle concealer was more effective back then because we’d use hella contour & it was like easier to blend when so much product was laid out like that imo. Contouring and highlighting was THE HYPE back then. Everyone wanted to practice their contouring and highlighting lol. That and eyebrows were literally super excessive back then. 😂😂

[@marilynmroe9077]

You are beautiful and amazing !

[@manda_musings8459]

Even the “correct” way seems like way too much product in my opinion. But I also don’t have dark circles usually either.

[@MissGreenflower]

I have dark circles and quite deep hallows but I don’t wear so much concealer. The key is color correction and highlight the wright spots with less product possible.

[@jastenmontelibano]

thx for the tips

[@harmoneypeters]

The “older” concealer looks better tbh

[@carolinejohnson22]

It's just awful. Concealer is meant to hide dark circles and blemishes. These days it's used as another thick layer on top of foundation. Even young teenagers with perfect skin are covering themselves in gunk😮

[@HannaMDx]

Totally agree

[@da1uwant2be]

Concealer is also meant to add light to the face so the face isn't flat.. sometimes people simply want to just have fun with makeup without dictation..makeup is self expression and an art form whether someone "needs" it or not its their prerogative.. I'm 34 and I love a full face I have no bags or dark circles but I'm going to do whatever my heart desires and I tell my clients choose the makeup style that you're comfortable with.. you don't have to stick to basic or light makeup looks only when you're young unless you want to it all washes off anyway so why not have fun😊

[@aubreyshelton3217]

I did not do this ever... I ALWAYS applied it the 2nd way. I don't always follow trends. I apply ams practice and apply the way Ithink looks good on my face. Plus.. I don't like to waste anything.. especially make-up. I love this concealer though

[@marilynmroe9077]

I use way less concealer than both sides lol .. I use my brush to spread it then my ring finger to blend.. it is a game changer at 39 under my eyes..

[@arlenchan3554]

What brand of concealer do you use?

[@virgismar]

Theres a third way, less concealer on the second side avoiding the part of the eye with all the wrinkles. It makes them more obvious, the less product is placed there, the better

[@xyzmsbright]

but my eyesbugs bugs are worst.. i need the triangle shape style 😅

[@TheDevineFempress]

I like the old

[@NKeddle]

I never bring the concealer under my entire eye area as it closes the eye. I only apply it in the inner corner and a tiny bit at the outer edge to create a more lifted look. I use probably one fifth of what you do on your right side. Most women use way too much concealer.

[@karenm5723]

This is all well and good, But, if you have discoloration you need to cover the whole bag otherwise you have a dark gap of skin in between. You already had that area precovered with make up...

[@Mariajose-sk1md]

Si tiene un cutis impresionante para que se pone maquillaje que no ocupa.

[@lucybreet4405]

You skin is so beautiful. No need for

[@MichelleBorden1995]

I think makeup is different for different face shapes anyone with long big forgead should not put any concealer going up the temple like me it makes it stand out more makeup is like a trend and just bc it looks good one one person don’t mean it dose on eveyone same with shades well trends are the same to and ppl don’t understand it I think less is always more but u also have to contour and conceal to fit ur face shape

[@blacklavoux]

I put 2 dots under each eye, inner and outer under eye area. Put powder on. And the eye makeup stays the whole day.

[@juliasanders8233]

How old are u? Your skin is so nice

[@MsKelsieJH]

But that part in the middle is so dark it looks like someone punched me. 🙄🥺

[@kankan572]

The wing off to the side actually isn’t flattering for everyone. If that’s the widest part of someone’s face they would never want to put it there… same applies for contour placement

[@_MelissaRae_]

Is it me because I don’t see much of a difference both looks good to me

[@Sine761]

I have the most movement in my inner corner! There are extreme wrinkles AND my dark shadows! Lucky me 😑

I’ve never worn concealer and I am not planning on ever using it. My skin is what it is. I am not obsessed with trying to make my skin look flawless or perfect in any way. I never wore any makeup other than lipstick and mascara till I was 40. Now at 63 I wear a bit more but I don’t like the look of so much makeup. I’ve always been very active and athletic. I’d rather keep myself fit and healthy than feel the need to have flawless makeup on.
