Happy Friday my friends! Just wanted to let you know what I did on the other 2 days I tried this hack for those of you suggesting things that might help & let you know I did them already & while they did improve things a bit, it wasn't enough that it beat my normal setup for creasing & wear! I tried it with and without sunscreen and tried it with my NYX powder instead of the Maybelline powder, I also switched eyes. Sunscreen didn't seem to have any effect on it either way, using NYX powder definitely looked better than the Maybelline powder to start but by 4 hours the Aquaphor was making my concealer settle into my wrinkles and making it wear off. In the end my regular concealer setup was better! Here are links to my concealer videos for those who didn't have success with the Aquaphor hack: Easy Everyday Concealer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIuzknSHjJiCqrs How To Stop Undereye Concealer Creasing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iV7FmZ2Vrs1rp80 For those of you who wanted an update on my dog post surgery, she came through the surgery well and is healing up nicely! The first 2 days post-op were really rough but I gave her lots of pain killers & love! She started putting weight on the leg after a few days and is getting around well. She gets the stitches out & cone off today so we'll both be thrilled about that! She ruptured her CCL (equivalent of our ACL) about 6 weeks ago & had TPLO surgery to give her use of the leg back. Thanks so much for your well wishes & concern over the last 2 weeks! xo ~a.

Ohhh my little baby has had TPLO surgery on both back legs, so I completely understand what you are going through Angie. Good news is he has done very well now years later and it was well worth it (he's 14 now!). Your baby is lucky to have you caring for her. Thinking of you!

[@lindagoldman2351]

Angie, I have been watching you ever since you started your channel. I especially had a great laugh when you used your husband as your makeup model. You are such a gift to us older ladies. You are the only influencer that I 100% trust. As a nurse married to a doctor; I appreciate your knowledge of the ingredients in the products you review. You're truly the best out there!

[@HollyAllen-tq6jc]

I did try it and noticed that while my under eye was more hydrated, wrinkles were exacerbated. However, I have applied Aquaphor under eyes and nasal folds at night, over my nighttime products for about 3 wks now, and the results in hydration and the way makeup looks on my skin is dramatically improved! I do not wash my face in the morning with cleanser, just use a warm wet cloth. I just cannot say enough about how using it at night has completely changed my daytime look

[@jcriverside]

That makes sense, it just seems like something that would need hours to absorb before you put makeup on it.

[@Just-Nikki]

I’ve been doing that for years using Cerave ointment and doing the same thing in the morning. It’s great!

[@mycoperic]

Thanks for the tip

[@kathystclair9485]

I went out and bought it also. Have been using it and old dear Lord hard telling what it ended up looking like because I never checked back😮. The sis without the aquaphor was noticeably better. Think I will use the aquaphor for my lips only. No waste there. Thanks for doing the experiment you brave heart.❤

It's a great overnight moisturizer!

I'm so annoyed with personalities that post just to go viral. Scott may be a professional makeup artist but he's also trying to sell his branded makeup. Angie actually does the work to test things out!! Thank you!

You would be right if the under eye concealer and the powder were his own brand, but neither was. Hard to “sell” “your” product if it isn’t yours.

Agree, I am glad Angie tested this out. I love Chantecaille eye cream with flower waxes in the formula. I'm looking for a dupe because of the high price. This may work on a runway model that's 14 years old, but it definitely accentuated Angie's under eye area as she noticed immediately.

[@cathrynanderson9524]

Hello!! First of all, your tip about changing the resolution on the video is a game changer!! And giving that tip only proves that you're the most transparent creator ever to walk the earth! I had the lip balm already, I use it on my lips. I don't wear under eye concealer bcz I still have yet to find a method that works for me, and I'm okay with that. I personally think this is a perfect example of how certain products, application methods, etc do not work for everyone! I love your videos and appreciate the work you put into them ❤️

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

My sentiments exactly. Isn't she just a legend in the content creator world for being no BS. Love Angie.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Yay! I'm so happy the resolution "hack" helped you see what's going on!!

[@schnauzerlover1]

@@AngieHotandFlashy I wonder how it would perform if you were to apply a thinner layer and set everything with your Nyx powder. Maybe you can try that off camera and let us know later. Thank you for your videos. They are always so appreciated.

[@janicemillican9754]

Hi Angie, I'm 70 and tried this hack. My first try it was about like yours. I was sure it was the power fountain for setting. I tried another time spreading the Aquiphor with a brush , and using my regular under eye powder to set. It worked fabulously. I'm thrilled.

[@kathieanderson780]

Oh that’s helpful to know and might make this worth a try! Thanks for sharing!

[@laikanbarth]

I did the same!! I tried it will the powder foundation and it looked awful but when I tried it again with just my regular light powder it looked beautiful!!

[@lindajames4922]

I too was thinking the foundation powder was too heavy. Thank you for sharing your results with an alternative powder.🌸

[@KarenGaylor4712]

I tried it with the Givenchy prism Libre and it worked fabulously for me and I'm 68.

[@rebeccadietrich8925]

The first time I tried this hack was also an epic fail. I found it was the powder making look so cakey and wrinkly. Using my regular setting powder worked sooo much better!!

[@Canuckbelgo]

Hello from Belgium. Tried the hack 4 days in a row thinking that I must have been doing something incorrectly but had the exact results as you. I'm 55 with no crows' feet or deep lines and yet this technique REALLY made it look as though I had full-blown wrinkles! I even made sure to use a very light hand with all the products and I allowed the AQUAPHOR absorb for about 20 mins for 2 of my attempts. Thank you for being the ONLY genuinely honest content creator!

[@lifeinthemiddle3121]

Laura Geller powder foundation is the best I have found for mature skin. Blurs, color corrects, not cakey. I gave up liquid foundation completely a few years ago. Fiera cosmetics is the best under-eye concealer I have found for mature eyes. I mix a bit of this with the Elf poreless putty primer and then apply it under the eye and doing final blending with my fingers works best. Overall, I have found that when you have mature skin, less is more is the best way to go. I wear a lot less makeup in my 50's than I did in my 40's.

[@wendio5437]

I agree re: Laura Geller. I had given up on wearing makeup because I can’t stand having a ton of makeup on and most of it looked terrible on me. When I tried the Laura Geller products and I was pleasantly surprised that it really works well on my mature skin.

[@faye33ful]

I bought LG Baked N Brighten powder foundation and I like it. It’s the best I’ve ever used. But even it seems to still accentuate my wrinkles. I agree- I stopped foundation in my 50s after trying so many. I use self tanners in the summer instead. Now in my 60s, it’s worse but still I look best without foundation. Yes it evens skin tone but at a cost of accentuating wrinkles. I don’t see anyone (except this poster) older who looks better with their foundation. I tried primers- hate them. They feel like cement. I may try Fiera under eye concealer. But I don’t have darkening under my eyes. Just wrinkles. And I have started using coconut oil or Vaseline on my face at night and then tissuing the excess off. I think it’s helping.

[@OneLove4eva]

Angie, you look like your in your 40s.. stunning whatever age..but just in awe of how your skin looks makeup free.. I was so systematic about my skincare for decades.. just sometimes life keeps on kicking you down, I gave up on myself. Thank you for inspiring me again. Time to self love/ self care again. So much gratitude. 🙏❤️✨️

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I'm sorry you've been going through a rough patch, but happy to hear you're going to take some time for self care! I think it will help so much! xo ~a.

[@TC-gc5rt]

Thank you for trying this out for us. I agreed, the Aquaphor extenuates your beauty lines. 😊. Logically it seems like it would make sense to use the extra moisture, but when I put extra moisture under my eyes, it causes them to crinkle, just in general. Thank you for being so brave for all of us. You have been my guide for many years. ❤

[@bettystanbery310]

You are a riot! Just had to laugh when you said am I seeing this right? You are seeing it right! Having watched you made up by professionals, outside of this video, I’ve come to the conclusion that you know your skin best and your products so well that you are your own best makeup artist. And thank you for your good research.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I was shocked! I went into this so sure it would work!

[@Justme-os5ss]

Thank you for testing this, Angie. I have been wondering about it. For years it didn’t seem to matter what concealer or powder I used. I still had big problems that I was trying to “fix”. One day I decided to try color correcting stick and that Maybelline powder. AMAZING for me! So happy how much it has helped covering my dark circles and wrinkles 😊

[@raeliho]

Hi Angie! I actually have been trying this for about 3 days, only under my eyes. I'm 63 with dry skin. I use it with the Pat McGrath under eye powder and Natasha Denona concealer (I really disliked the Lancome concealer).And this has been working really well for me! I'm sorry it didn't work out for you:(

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Awesome! So happy it worked for you!!

[@paulag3525]

Angie- can you please remind us of what you use under your eyes for skincare (eye cream) without the aquaphor? Since whatever you are doing to moisturize seems better! Thx

[@helenh3972]

❤

[@prita2586]

Marketing has drilled into us to use a concealer under the eyes. Yet, it never stays and it always creases. I thought about it a long time when I realized…. you know what does stay? Eye shadow. It stays put, comes in dozens of colors that will match and highlight anyone’s skin tone, will layer without caking and is buildable. I haven’t had to buy a concealer in decades and I don’t miss it.

[@Yikes-lw7sl]

Please share which eyeshadow products you are using. Thanks!

[@ALillyLu]

Yes pls- cream or powder etc. this sounds like a great idea

[@RG-bd5fy]

Do share!

[@prita2586]

Just any powder shadow. And, no eyeshadow base needed either (that’s just more cream-something to gum it up and crease). Everyone has a fav eye shadow that works for them. If it sticks to your lids and doesn’t crease there, then it will work under eye. For everyday look, I just use a powder shadow in a MATTE color that matches my skin tone. Dab it on and done. For “fancier” days, I use that same everyday shadow first, then I might add a slightly lighter MATTE color to just the inner corners and just a tad under the outer corner. Then for night/going out, I use a SHIMMER shadow in yet a lighter color to just under the bottom lashes on the very inner corner (a lot like you do a pencil, but why bother with yet another pencil). No creasing and lasts all day! To start, try doing it with just a shade of your skin tone or a tad lighter. You can always enhance/do more later. Hope that helps!

I have tried this last week. I thought it did make a difference when I first tried it. I am 67 years old. I think it was the Maybelline powder you used. I used the Patrick Starr pink powder ( O/S). I thought it was good. But who knows, everyone is different.😊💕🙋‍♀️🇨🇦

About a year ago I started using a tiny, tiny amount of the regular Aquaphor ointment as a nighttime eye moisturizer. (I had forgotten my eye cream while traveling.) I continued use when I returned home, because it felt so good. I wasn’t even thinking about it helping wrinkles. A few months ago I noticed my eye wrinkles were dramatically improved! I am 59 years old, with normal skin. It’s a huge difference. I’ll never stop using it.

FINALLY a video not loving this hack. LOVE you Angie! NYC Makeup artist of 25+ years here and this didn’t work for me either. Makes everything look so much worse. I’ve found that Milani skin quench hydrating primer under the eyes is truly THE BEST under eye primer I have ever tried. Just a little dot under each eye on top of your favorite eye cream, under your concealer. Fantastic smooth results every time. ❤️

[@CareyXO]

Thanks for the recommendation. I am going to try this. 😊

[@tjodine2433]

I am going to try that as well but I have to say the aquafor hack worked for me. I am never happy with concealer and powder so had given up applying any at all. I tried using aquafor and it made a HUGE difference. I can’t use powder at all as it instantly makes me look 20 years older but the aquafor and just concealer looked ok.

[@cfsfibromom]

Thanks for mentioning this. I love that primer but haven't used it under my eyes! Can't wait to try it

[@colleenm9144]

You look absolutely beautiful. Your eyes look amazing after your surgery. I think the side of your face with just the glowy powder looks better because you have a nice complexion and dont need heavy coverage. Maybe use a facial primer to blur your pores if you dont already do. That mascara on you looks beautiful. I bet it doesnt smudge either. Thank you for sharing your new powder foundation look.

[@julieseifert7314]

I've been using Aquaphor under my makeup for 20 years. I would never do my concealer with out it. I don't use the balm though just Aquaphor from the tube and I would never use that powder foundation that he does. Maybe that's good for a red carpet event where they don't see you up close but I think that's where it went wrong for you. I love how Aquaphor makes my makeup glide on evenly and not cake in my wrinkles.

[@EFTTappingwithHeatherAmbler]

That's awesome. Haven't tried Aquaphor yet, but a thin layer of Vaseline under my makeup (and on top of my skincare) has the same effects you describe. Until first trying this a week ago, I pretty much avoided Vaseline like the plague, so the fact that this works is not only amazing to me, but also somewhat shocking. I'm 53.

Excellent video! Thank you so much, Angie. As a Nurse Practitioner in wound care, we avoid allergens, and most people develop allergies over time (ie latex). Aquaphor has lanolin, an allergen that may cause issues. The best bet is to use a compoundable formulation such as Vani cream if needing to try something not indicated for the under-eye area. Be careful of products not indicated for the eye area. Products not indicated or tested for the undereye area can cause infection, irritation, and cornea abrasions.

[@kimberlyanderson6457]

Love Vani cream!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Thanks for pointing that out, regular Aquaphor gel does contain lanolin but the lip balm version does not.

[@jaobryan]

Yes!! I am highly allergic to lanolin and Aquaphor is pure lanolin. Makes my skin crazy! I use vanicream ointment for all things needed for wound care and lip balm! Love the stuff!!

[@chermonfils]

Tried this myself immediately after seeing Gabby’s video. For me, the Aquaphor actually works great, but that Maybelline powder is awful-it’s really heavy and creases right away, no matter how you apply it. The Aquaphor keeps my typically crepy undereyes looking more hydrated, less wrinkly, and even a little luminous. Loving it on my lips, too!

[@jenstarrr]

You know how you JUST KNOW when something will not work (maybe on others but def not on me)? Yeah, that’s me when I saw this hack for the first time lol Thank you for trying it & sharing your experience with us.

[@SAYoung15]

I always appreciate your honest reviews and unfiltered content. I was curious about this hack but I also watch Robert welsh religiously so I had a feeling it would break down the make up. Thank you for doing this!

[@saltycat662]

I've tried this before and it doesn't work for me. It made my wrinkles more pronounced and it gives me milia bumps. My skin can't handle heavy moisturizers. Maybelline powders and concealers used to work for me back when I was younger. They look terrible on me now that I'm in my mid forties.

[@SirenSong_Pam_C]

Angie, you are the master! You are my #1 expert! I really appreciate your honesty and rely on your recommendations. ❤

[@Nia435]

Thanks for giving this a try! I love Gabbi, but trying this on more mature skin is apples and oranges. (She is great at pointing that out as well) And the women in the “hack” video, while older, did have the look that she had had a lot of work done, so that may have been a factor too.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Scott also used "face lifting" tapes on the woman in the video so the skin was pulled to reduce wrinkles (he mentions it in the video but it's so brief I had to look up the product to see what it was)...

[@lynnemartinveilleux5414]

I tried this using a lip balm from Norwex I had on hand that is lavender scented. It works surprisingly well.😊

[@emeliagaskin6734]

I think it’s the powder. I tried the balm with Charlotte Tilbury powder and it worked.

[@PatriciaMcDowell-z3g]

I tried it with Halo powder and it worked for me. Agree it's probably that heavy Maybelline powder.

[@aprilleerose]

That’s exactly what I’m going to try before I go to work :)

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Agree, the heavy powder was part of my fail but even trying it with different powders it wasn't as good as my regular concealer application.

[@MillieMoon-gn1zr]

I tried it with the CT airbrush powder & my nyx hd & failed with both. Desperately trying to fine something that works for my wedding, though I do t know why I’m worried…not sure anyone will be that up close 😂

[@november132]

I'm not surprised the Aquaphor didn't work. However I've been using Korean skincare balm sticks like Kahi for years now. I use it on my undereyes after eye cream at night and before corrector/concealer if I'm wearing makeup. Although since using these balms on my under eyes the area has been more plump and hydrated (something I could never achieve with eye creams alone) so if I'm using a hydrating concealer, I don't need to use the skincare balm beforehand.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Love love love this video Angie! I agree that the side without the aquaphor was way better on you. I have a feeling that it's actually the powder that made the concealer caky because it's such a dense formulation. I have super oily skin and I have been using that to set my T zone lately and it's been amazing. Oily skin + my age + density all work really well for me but definitely not for everyone. It's been so cool watching people try this out. It works 10/10 for some and 0/10 for others. That truly is the beauty of artistry. It's so variable and unique to the person. Sending a hug to you my friend!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Hi Gabi! The powder was definitely part of the problem, but in the end the aquaphor just didn't work for me even with other powders... I tried it again 2 more times with lighter setting powders & while it did look better than it did with the Maybelline powder, it still wasn't as good as my tried & true concealer set up. I'm thrilled that it worked for you and does work for so many others as well! xo ~a.

[@suzannehurst]

I wondered the same thing. I'm exactly Angie's age (one month apart) and have what I would call "normal" undereye wrinkles. I don't use botox, so mine might be a bit deeper (not hating on botox, wish I could afford it, but just saying that my wrinkles are 100% there!). I had a random chapstick that I used. I did not use the powder Scott recommended as I had just finally caved in and bought the small sized Givenchy powder. It was the absolute best thing for my undereyes that I have EVER done. I've tried everything and every concealer. We're all different with our skin and even the "shape" of our wrinkles, so I had tried so many products and tricks and still had creased undereyes. This was amazing. I used my Haus Labs concealer, which I LOVE...I will definitely be using this hack!!!

[@elizabethrph5850]

I used Jones Road Miracle Balm instead, it worked the same as Aquaphor. It makes my under eye smoother.

[@wmwilkinson1]

I left the lip balm on for a few minutes to soak in before I put on my under eye concealer and it worked for me.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I'm happy it worked for you!

[@shannonwhitfield8943]

I love this hack! I used the Aquaphor hand cream all! It works!

[@rnick7582]

Immediately thought the hack side accentuated the wrinkles. This is why we love you Angie!!! You save us all time and money❤️

[@JackieMoss]

Me too!

[@gracec6485]

This was interesting Angie! I love Gabby as well. I first saw this on RIsa Does Makeup and I went and bought right away and use it everyday. I can see a difference and my under eyes look hydrated and less wrinkled with concealer. 👍🏼

[@aprilleerose]

I have used jojoba oil under my eyes which dries down like a wax and it works really well so this makes complete sense to me!

[@babygurl74]

I've been doing it lightly for work since Tuesday this week. I wanted to give it a real shot. I've had the same result as you Angie. It's exaggerating all my wrinkles.

[@susanwheatley9138]

At 60, my biggest under eye concern is crepey skin. No amount of eye cream or moisturizer helped the situation. The lip balm greatly improved the crepe factor, so for me it was a success.

[@subterraneancatalyst]

Bravo! What a great video! I have my KZbin set on 1080p lol, your skin looks beautiful! Love seeing real human skin also. This aquaphor test makes me feel a bit vindicated : I have super oily combo skin, I'm 49, do skincare consistently and primers always makes my makeup slide off rapidly lol. Since I live in Houston my protocol for foundation during the summer if I'm even bothering is just spf moisturizer + foundation. No powder because it feels too suffocating with high humidity + heat and makeup.

[@lynnecarr5791]

Oh Angie! I’m sorry it didn’t work for you, but I’m glad to find out that I am not the only one. I was like… what in the world happened to my under eyes? I didn’t think my wrinkles were that pronounced. Used it a couple of times, and then went without it and my under eyes went back to normal.

[@janicelindegard6615]

I don’t wear makeup often; my eyes are just too sensitive as I age. But I keep an Aquaphor lip balm in my car. My under eyes were so dry one day I put Aquaphor on them out of desperation. I’m not going to do the concealer hack, but applying at night is an intriguing idea! Looking forward to the eyeshadow hack!

[@vzeimen]

I've been using the lip balm everyday for a couple weeks now. I already had the REVLON ColorStay powder in translucent and I don't use concealer but I do take my foundation up to my under eye area so I do the lip balm directly after my skincare and before foundation. I'm shocked at how great my under eyes look with this technique. Im 61 and wear glasses 100% of the time that have a very magnifying effect and this has been like magic.

[@ddb3126]

Angie your under eyes are truly goals!!! Such a good job keeping them looking fantastic ❤

[@janetp5956]

Once again thank you for taking one for the team Angie! Have not tried and won’t. I trust your honest assessment completely as always.

[@naderehtafaroji]

Dear Angie I love you! And I trust you. I couldn't get my hands on the aquaphor and I am so happy that it really does not work 😅

[@samirakaufman6004]

Angie, I am sooooo happy that your sweet fur baby is healing well. ☺️❤️.

[@heatherjane910]

I did it with my own powder (Milk loose) and it looked great!

[@mizzjen1194]

You know, maybe that works really well, hand-in-hand with the type of heavy full coverage foundation that he uses. Maybe that’s the difference!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Agree!

[@Ellen-tb7gr]

I immediately thought the same thing. Products used for movies & theatre etc. have to be LOT heavier.

[@Rholt1002]

I am sooo glad I saw your video before investing in these products.

[@leat.2147]

Well thank you for taking one for the team. Saved me time and money.

[@kellieoberstar]

51 - I've had great luck with the Aquaphor. I apply it before any makeup and I use a finely milled setting powder. I also apply at night to hold in moisture.

[@jaimiedunfee8143]

I love this hack! But I don't use the powder; too drying. Maybe try with your fave powder or none at all?

[@aprilleerose]

I would definitely try with your favorite powder in my opinion ❤

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I did, and it was better but the balm still caused more settling & earlier wear -off of my concealer...

[@aprilleerose]

@@AngieHotandFlashy oh that stinks. Hack failed! lol 💚

[@afsanarosebd]

I’m almost 50 years old and for over 10 years now I have been adding lotion to my concealer. That is my concealer hack. I dilute the concealer equal parts with lotion, or I apply the concealer to my under eyes and dab lotion on top of it. I have some discoloration on the inside of my under eyes. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t wear concealer at all because all it does is show the wrinkles and magnify them terribly. Not Everyone needs a thick goopy concealer, and I wish some companies would take that into consideration. Also, I very rarely set anything on my face with powder, because all it does is accentuate the wrinkles, I have dry skin so perhaps this is why that works for me I am trying some of the powders you have recommended to set my make up. Thank you Angie for the video.

[@robinboots563]

😂😂😂. Angie that is a shock and funny. Didn't expect this either. You are such a sport ❤

[@maryannemerritt9770]

Thanks for the video and the resolution tip. I trust your judgement . I didn’t run out and buy any of it because of what you demonstrated,so thanks for saving me money! The resolution change on my iPad was a huge difference.! I can now see that you really are just like me, lol, but you are a true beauty! Keep up the great truthful work!❤

[@cassandraotroy6325]

Maybe it works with that super heavy runway makeup?

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Yes, in a caption below one of the instagram posts, Scott Barnes wrote that it works best with cream concealer which I don't use so that could definitely make the difference!

[@andreagreen1133]

thank you for doing this and being honest I definitely noticed the side of your face without the aquaphor looked smooth and pretty 😂

[@barbara31655]

I have done this type technique (except not using actual Aquaphor) with huge success. I use a really tiny amount of Lanolips ointment under my eyes, then apply my concealer over top of that. It always comes out perfect. I don't think it's so much the type "grease" product used but more the fact that the ender eye is really silky and moisturized with a product that doesn't immediately sink into the skin. When I saw the natural light closeup you could really see the heaviness of the powder used to set it. In any event, my technique is total win for my face.

[@JulienArbor]

Lanolips is fab and they now have a nighttime lip mask that’s great! It contains lanolin, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. It gives a little tingle and I wanted to try it because I have a few dark spots on my lips that are starting to lighten! Yea! 🎉

[@janetjinkens4147]

I am so glad your dog is better!! I love my dogs also! Thank you for the tip about the resolution

[@consciouscrypto3090]

I have a similar product that I've seen all these 25-30 year old women raving about for similar usage (big in Korea, supposedly) but it has the same effect on me, accentuating my undereye and marionette lines, even without makeup! I actually get creasing like the skin is sticking to itself and freezing the wrinkles when I make an expression, not just causing makeup on top to settle into lines. I think the idea only works either on people with no wrinkles or with such heavy, caked on makeup that anything the skin is doing underneath can't be seen.

[@KMatth3624]

I actually did try the Scott Barnes trick and I think it works great. My concealer doesn't crease and wears all day. I feel like my under eye area is more hydrated at the end of the day. I've had no issues with milia. I use Shape tape concealer. I'm 66.

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Morning Angie Oh my word I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen with my own eyes Thanks for sharing see you soon ❤

[@victoriaa9933]

I have and love that Maybelline Super Stay powder foundation. I use it with my regular serum, moisturizer and primer.

[@lisanutini5183]

I got the Aquafor lip balm only. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and it gives perfection! It isn’t that you won’t see a wrinkle when I smile, it’s that after 8 hours my under eyes look freshly done. I’m 70. I swipe the lip balm and pat it. I apply my Charlotte Tilbury concealer and pat that. Then my concealer with your cat’s paw brush. Last the Pat McGrath under eye powder. Perfection all day I kid you not! Fabulous! I’ll never go back.

[@deann3621]

Agreed, not perfect, but better for me, less dry looking as the day goes on.

[@tammyhollan6149]

Thank you for your honest trial and review! ❤

[@moongoddess5858]

Angie! Honestly, you don’t need to look better than you do- you’re gorgeous!

[@karenhanretty3280]

I'm always amazed how great you look without makeup.

[@sherryg5813]

Seems like the tugging when applying the balm would not be good for any aged under eyes

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I wasn't a fan of the tugging...

[@cf8595]

I consider myself pretty gracious when it comes to judging makeup - whatever makes people feel good, and you're always super on point. But I gave an audible "yikes" at your 2 hr check in. That's a drastic difference for something that's supposed to be a hack!

[@martham7198]

I tried aquaphor under my eyes at night during the winter for extra hydration-Thought it was amazing for a few days until I developed milia which I am not prone to otherwise.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Yes, milia can develop from using heavy occlusive moisturizers & they take forever to get rid of!

[@juliemoses1909]

Danessa Myricks powder balm works the same way as the acquaphor, filling in the lines. At least that’s what I have been using! You have to apply lightly. I think the blurring power of the Danessa Myricks powder balm probably out performs the acquaphor. You’re probably nice and hydrated Angie and the acquaphor is just grease.

[@raeirvine1237]

I love the aquaphor under my concealor it looks amazing on me

[@jenniferschauer5759]

Thank you so much for testing this for us. I’m going to stick to my usual routine.
