HOW TO CONCEAL DARK CIRCLES & PREVENT UNDER EYE CREASING ON MATURE SKIN | Do's & Don'ts!

[@annabelperkins3572]

I struggle with under eye. I read that if you double hydrate your under eye,leave to soak then go in with an eye primer under the eye that can help! And it truly did! I followed the instructions to the letter. Instead of using my No 7 powder I sprayed the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray into a sponge and gently tapped it in! I was super pleased that it lasted all day until I got home from work! 👍

[@queenangelfire5832]

Spraying a sponge with setting spray and tapping in the powder was a super super game changer for me! I have also learned to slightly turn up the ends of false lashes to keep these 58 year old eyes from drooping downward.

[@Rrenae234]

@@queenangelfire5832what do you mean turn up the ends??

[@queenangelfire5832]

@@Rrenae234 When applying the eyelash strip I slightly angle the ends upward to keep my eyes from looking droopy.

Also before you set, use a tissue to softly press under the eye to whisk away any dampness that leads. To creases see Wayne Goss tutorial. About this and Risa is dead on with putting primer under eye as well. These are great helper tips from Risa the Pro

[@becky6568]

You influenced me to buy and try the Wet Wild serum I’ve been using it daily for a month or so . I have older skin and dry under-eyes. It’s already making a big difference. I kept buying all sorts of concealers and none ever worked because my skin was so crapy dry . I have definitely seen a difference. But you have to be consistent. I’m really really happy with this inexpensive serum. Thanks Risa ❤️

[@kcloveonaleash]

Ok, I'm now going to Walgreens to buy this serum!! Thank u

[@becky6568]

@@kcloveonaleash Be patient and good luck 🌹 I use it once in the morning if I’m wearing concealer which most days I do . I give it a few minutes to sink into my skin . Before I apply the concealer. Then right before I go to bed at night . As part of my night routine. I wish I had tried a serum so much sooner . I would have saved so much $ on all sorts of “ hydrating “ concealers’ 😩

[@CAMSabatino1]

Hi Risa! 47 year old with oily skin but dry under eyes. I’ve been using the Wet & Wild serum since you recommended it! I love it. I’ve also started using Elensilia Anti-Wrinkle Multi Balm Stick from Amazon. I use it before concealer and then during the day to touch up crepey skin. It’s been a great product. I have one in my makeup kit and one in my purse.

[@jillvirchis1075]

[@louisesharpy]

That sub count is climbing. Yes !! Congrats. This is helpful. It all changed for me even when I hit 60, now almost 63 in March , and even now it’s different. Helpful tips. I don’t use concealer under eye. I actually do inside of eye by nose A little below and i bring it up .With a fluffy brush DO NOT DRAG OR SWIPE. DAB. OR FLUFFY BRUSH. ALSO less is more. Ha

[@CK-ph3fe]

I get confused and overwhelmed about the difference and purposes for under eye brightener, color correcter, concealer as well as the correct order of use with foundation. Which goes on first, second, third, etc.

I never thought of applying my concealer by picking it up off my hand first before, so thanks for that tip!

[@reneebk1999]

[@lesliedemarco1691]

Risa: I love Tarte Shape Tape & even though it's thick & creamy, I use a tiny sponge but I wet the sponge so it's damp, therefore it smooths it out some, but I still get the benefits of the product!😘

[@glendamccurdy6677]

Great video Risa 😊 I’ve used an eye balm by Kjaer Weis for years and it’s a miracle in a little pot for hydrating the under eyes before makeup. It’s called The Beautiful Eye Balm…it’s pricey but I took a chance on it when it was recommended by Nikol and I’m so glad I did. My 52 year old under eyes love it ❤

[@kerrygolding1912]

Thank you Risa - you are amazing & I consider you to be the best make up artist! ❤

[@Lucygoosey1219]

I needed this video! Thank you ❤ I watched it Friday night while multitasking. But Saturday morning I tried to remember what you said. I used my finger to blend in concealer after letting it sit for a bit after applying it. Wow! That in itself was a huge help! I bought the Angie BK Beauty concealer brush after all the reviews. I will have I should have saved my money. My fingertip worked so much better! I also applied some setting powder with an eyeshadow brush. I couldn’t think of anything else. I did use high end concealer. But will definitely try with my drug store kind too.

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

Often, I'll do my makeup a few hours after skin care so that Wet N Wild primer has been a great tip to add about 5 min before concealer! Thank you Risa!

[@reneeburich9497]

Even if a person doesn’t do the triangle thing under the eye, I have to say, most of the people I watch still put too much concealer on! You don’t need that much. Go at least a swipe less. You can always go a little lower under the eye with a finishing powder if you need some brightness. The concealer and corrector should be only what you need in the very area you need it - not halfway down the cheek.

[@caseyrose1327]

I recently found you and I really have learned so much! I am 49 and your tips have changed my game for the better. A lot of make up tutorials are targeted for the younger ones so thank you! I am also saving money by applying my foundation to the back of my hand instead of on the brush. It's amazing how little I use now. This has been another of my problem areas (under eye), so thank you!

[@gayleconlon7834]

Right on time as usual Risa.I'm almost at the point where I'm about to "give up " putting on makeup every single morning.

I’m using that Kiehl’s avocado eye cream with a touch of hyaluronic acid serum, then apply that Wet N Wild primer after….wow, my under eyes look better and the extra hydration plumps out fine lines beautifully. Thank you! I’ve gotten a CO2 ablative laser treatment done last month but it didn’t tighten up the loose skin under my eyes (done 5 TCA chemical peels last year too). This makeup hack really helped! I was getting so frustrated with using concealer under my eyes, I never had to use it there before but with age, my blue veins are popping through the thin skin.

[@aleigha9141]

I struggle with my under eyes 😩 I try to do all the things and keep them hydrated. I did try the Natasha Denona concealer awhile ago and omg! It’s fantastic!! I love it! I think I may be a bit too heavy handed with the powder. I was using a triangle powder puff instead of just doing a light dusting with a brush and I ended up looking really dry, even after good skin prep. Sooo, definitely going to try these tips! I’m 51 and my skin really hasn’t changed much in the last few years as far as it being normal/dry BUT I lost over 50lbs in the last few months and now I see more lines and wrinkles in my face, on my forehead, and around the eyes that weren’t as noticeable before. So I’m really struggling with concealer and with foundations too 😢 I’m so used to my face being rounder and more filled out (I also take steroids daily which keep my cheeks fuller) and my primer and foundation worked. But now it’s not. It’s settling and aging me further. I need all the help I can get. Love you and your content 💜 you have such a beautiful smile! Have a great weekend! Hugs! 💖❤️

Hi, Risa! I saw a JCPenny haul and had no idea they had a beauty department after Sephora moved out of their stores. Anyhow, I finally tried uoma tripping smooth loose powder. I'm 50 and have tried so many powders. I was shocked how feather light that powder is and how beautiful it looks on my under eyes. I've only seen one influencer talk about it and even though you and I have different types of skin, I usually agree with your picks. You may want to check out the uoma powder. It's really amazing. PS: why are more people NOT talking about the catrice color corrector?!? It's soooooo good!

[@robinlawson7441]

I use almost all of these techniques (and many products) thanks to you and my other YT faves. ❤ My biggest issue the last few months has been setting.

Hi there! When it comes to videos like this where I’m teaching a technique, it really isn’t important what products you use or how much they cost. This is one of the reasons the great make up artist Kevyn Aucoin would never share the actualproducts he used. He didn’t want people to be so focused on that part of it. He wanted people to focus solely on the shades and techniques he used.
