[@carolefreeman2544]

Best tutorial for under eye concealer I have seen yet. I can not wait to try this out. Thank you!🤗

[@TheShuiligans]

great idea putting the setting spray on the make up brush so clever...learning its all about the learning! Under eyes are the bane of my life getting a concealers that isn't drying and actually highlights or hides dark circles THAT STRGGLE IS REALLLLLLL XXX

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

The Shuiligans the struggle is so real lol I have a new video up next week talking about under eyes so stay tuned Xo

[@JacFash]

Where would u do your color correcting in this type of routine/technique?

[@grayperetti1379]

I have watched a million of these videos on how to avoid under eye creasing and this one was by far the most helpful! I can't wait to try these techniques, thanks so much! 😁

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

thank you so much!!

[@catherinec.7199]

Thanks again for the link to this video! You’re a genius, here’s some e-flowers for you! 💐💐💐

[@lindacurce4854]

Elle, thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. I will definitely try that primer. Your so kind.

[@Bill-vg7xn]

Linda Curce which primer?

[@adamsboo2000]

Seriously one of the best explained guides I've ever seen. Thank you! I'm going to follow this to a 'T'. :)

[@marysusa6985]

Thank you for this video. I tried this with my Lancome setting spray and not only did it help with creasing, it reduced the bags under my eyes. 2 for 1. love this. Thanks for sharing.

[@Onlinemakeupacademy]

It is so priceless recommends! An amazing ideas on the setting spray on the brush!

[@kathryn3223]

The absolute best anti-caressing concealer application I have seen! Not to mention you have the most beautiful skin as a canvas. Thanks for the tutorial! 💖

[@hollyw26]

I had given up on concealer....but this technique made all the difference in the world! Thanks so much for sharing this awesome technique!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!!!!

[@ddtwohearts]

Beautiful results Elle, as always. I've totally revamped my approach with concealer app. Goal is to achieve the brightness you strive for as well. It's working!

[@laurahelene9118]

Yayyyy is right! This did the trick for me. I have see many videos about this...all fails. Thank you so much. Can't even tell you how thrilled I am.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!!!

[@suecone2198]

I never thought of using setting spray on my brush! Thanks😍

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

xoxoxo

[@latherandlacehandcraftedso3581]

Even though you solved my problems with the eye creams you recommended and I can now wear concealer, I think I'll try this tomorrow and see if it ups my concealer game! I love a bright eye!! Elle you are such a big help! Thank you (truly) ~Lori

[@karinabaez3553]

Excellent video! I see a lot of people uses a beauty sponge instead of a brush. Which one is better? Thxs!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

depends on how your skin reacts with each tool, try each way

[@peacwoman]

Thanks , that's terrific idea. I can't wait to try it. Love ❤️ your videos.

[@lizmiller7681]

I cannot wait to try this! You just give the best advice; everything that applies to me (I’m old as dirt) that you teach, I have tried, and I am like a different person. I had to try a few times on some tips, but I got the hang of it, and I’m happy. Thank you so much! ✨💖✨

[@CorenaGaroutte]

I use a mixture ( my own) of jojoba, argon, olive, avocado, 3 diff EOs, glycerin and cyclomethicone ( lol can't spell it, but it's the silicone liquid that is in your face primes that blurs pores). I mix all this in a small squeeze bottle. The glycerin gives you tackiness that helps your foundation stay longer and its a humectant therefor is draws moisture to dry skin. This is all just one very thin layer of one product under foundation and concealer. I make most of all my beauty products. Bar of soaps, liquid soap, face soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, bath bombs.......... I plan on making a video on how I make my moisturizing oil/primer on my video soon. If anyone is interested. It's very very say. All products can be found in your local drugstore except the cyclomethicone wich can be bought online. It can be worn with or without makeup. You will have a natural glow without the oiliness. The cyclomethicone does NOT clog pores. It seals in the moisture with a protective barrier. Only time you will breakout is if your skin is not clean and then bacteria is trapped in the pores by that protective barrier. Again... It doesn't clog or cause breakouts if skin is clean before... I was a cosmologist for almost 30 years and a product formulator for over 5 years.

[@CorenaGaroutte]

Btw, a eye cream is not at all needed if your using a good face moisturizer. Eye cream ( inactive ) is just another way stores can sell you another product! Active eye creams such as vit c, caffeine, ..... Should never be worn under makeup. These eye creams are for night time and or days you don't wear makeup. They will mess with the makeups application and performance.

You could come up with a recipe for lthinnong reg makeup for airbrush machine,I bet and get a million likes

[@theresap1980]

Love love love this! Thank you so much. I'm going to try it out tomorrow 💜💜💜 😘

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

perfect!! xoxo

[@rebelprynsez24]

Great ideas on the setting spray on the brush! This video now explains to me why I do prefer the "drier" concealers...my age, lol. Holding on to this video for future reference. Btw, I love your fun hair color here, too bad I missed it, being a new fan since 2018 :-)

[@lucywilson3756]

So glad I found your channel!!! This was literally the fix I needed! Works so well! I have been struggling with dry undereyes and concealer making it look worse! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙌😘💕

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!!! so glad to have you xo

[@cristinarisso8668]

OMG, this is the most amazing suggestion EVER ... never thought to add oil to avoid creasing , but it works. I did use marula oil thou. (that is what i had at home and The Ordinary got such amazing cheap oils)

[@pamandroski773]

Elle, thanks so much for your video, I used your technique using olive oil, and I could not believe. My undereye concealer lasted ALL day until bedtime, so we are talking about a good 12 hours. I applied the olive oil under my eye, waited a couple minutes, then patted under my eye with a tissue just to remove any excess. I did apply a creamy style concealer (which was all I had on hand), sprayed my brush with Urban Decay All nighter make up setting spray, applied the concealer, and set with Laura Mercier powder (just a touch). I can not thank you enough.

[@Bill-vg7xn]

Pam Androski Is there a video on this? I haven't seen this?

[@pamandroski773]

Amy, no, no video, I watch youtube videos and see what I have on hand, try their technics to see if it works for me. Thanks for asking.

[@Bill-vg7xn]

Pam Androski thanks for responding! 😊 did you use the eye primer or just the olive oil?

[@pamandroski773]

I used both, and the primer I used was the cheap ELF shadow lock eyelid primer.

[@r0s3s4nd_violetz]

Your amazing you have helped me so much great tips.x

[@busymama7903]

WTF??? Total a-ha moment at 3:15 ‘the creamier a product is, the more it is going to crease’. This is the first time I have heard this, I have been buying creamy concealers all the time because my skin is so dry, so I thought a dry concealer would make the situation under my eyes even worse. But by laying down the oil first, I guess that takes care of the dryness, so adding a dryer concealer on top means it won’t move around as much, right? You are BRILLIANT!!! 🤗

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yes!! thank you so much for the kind words xo

[@MaryChrapliwy]

Excellent video - great tip with the setting spray. I'll try that next time I use my concealer!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!! thanks so much

[@xkysunshinex]

I was super pumped when I came across this video last night! I tried it today, step by step, with the video playing, pausing when needed. This did NOTHING for me 💔😭 I tried it today with different concealers but my end result was the same. Any tips on what I may be doing wrong?!?!

[@kfaltys]

Elle- Hopefully you will see this comment since it is an older video. I find your videos the most informative and helpful videos. I have learned so much and still am as I'm finding more of your older videos. I really struggle with creasing when it comes to applying concealers. Would you do this method the same way when using a color corrector? What color corrector do you think works best for dark circles? Also, do you think it's ok to use the same brush for applying the color corrector and the concealer? Are you still using the same oil as you did in the video? Thank you so much and I really appreciate your help!

[@pappyone6062]

Peach to even the skin tone of darkness (bluish purplish) under the eye. Urban decay has pink for very fair skin tone, light peach for fair to light medium and deep for darker. I have olive skin and I get the deep color and mix it in with my Mac yellow based concealer to make a dark peach color to correct. Then the concealer on its own over that. Total color correction! Hope this helps

[@lindamccray9739]

Loved this, so helpful!!!

[@jennifermiranda7674]

This tips are awesome. I do use a specific under eye primer (from Makeup Revolution), that I layer over an eye cream I placed in the morning. I do add the tiniest amount of oil directly to the dry concealer (Tarte Shape), then dab it. I never tried the setting spray trick yet. But these techniques with the oil are definitely the way to go if you have dry under eye and want your setting powder to do the trick without making the skin look dry or wrinkled and more old.

[@lynnwhite1053]

What a great idea!! I've tried spraying setting sprays on my beauty blender AFTER applying my concealer and patting over it... Which works pretty good😊 I have to watch how close to my eye I get because of my eyes watering and then I end up crying all my hard work off🙄😳 but... I'm DEFINITELY going to try this one today!! Now, my creasing usually starts after I start smiling, talking, ya know... All those basic facial expressions... Are there any recommendations you have as to keeping the area crease free throughout the day?? Will I have to carry all these products with me to do touchups? Oh and btw... I LOVE that pink in your hair!! I know this video is from like 2016... But... Still love it😉😁❤

[@jessicalocke7160]

Elle - I just stumbled upon your channel via this video. I loved it and thought you had some really original ideas and techniques. I am impressed and have subscribed! Yay!!! Plus - I love your hair and your radiant smile!

Oh, to run away with the concealer 😅😅😅 . Got to do the setting spray technique. Kinda makes sense but who would have thought (Elle of course). Thank you Elle xxx xxx

[@eerye70]

Beautiful. do you have a tutorial using drugstore concealers? I would like to see that!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

[@kaliya02]

Great tips, I just tried the complete technique this morning, by lunch time my concealer was perfect, I always had to retouched my makeup at that time, not anymore, yay!! thanks Elle!!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!!!!! so happy to hear this and just love that it helped you xo

[@patti19944]

Elle, I just "found" you and love your videos. I have always struggled with under eye issues and must have tried every concealer on the market! I will have to try the setting spray trick- what a great idea. I have also watched how to conceal your eye bags video and will put to practice your technique. Being almost 58, I need every trick I can find!!! I wear glasses to read, and find that when I put them on, every little line, crease and under eye wrinkle is magnified. Is there a different application process if you wear glasses??

[@adamsboo2000]

Pat chadwick I just found her too last week. Love her & have enjoyed all her vids. :)

[@malusantos1551]

This has been very helpful. I am 55 and recently bought some Bobbie Brown corrector and concealer. I am so disappointed with it as it creases a lot. I feel it is very grease. I drier product should work for me better. I just wished I had known this before. Thank you, Elle 😘

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

you and me both! I go for drier products to xo

[@tedoymisojos]

Yay, maybe my undereye makeup game won't be tragic anymore :D

Hi Ellelearyartistry I am new to your channel I love this idea going to try this tomorrow!!!

[@imcnagpc2]

I had never heard of eye shadow primer. Thanks!

[@Bill-vg7xn]

oh. my. god. I think this tutorial cured my under eye creases!!!! I usually never comment on KZbin, but I just wanted to thank you sooooooo much for sharing your amazing tips!!! Although, when I set the consealer with loose setting powder it gives too much of a powdery finish. I have to set mine because of my job. Maybe I'm using too much powder? Or not enough setting spray?

[@emilieschinck6281]

Amy West use a luminous undereye powder

[@Bill-vg7xn]

Emilie S Which powder is that

[@laurahargrave4602]

So excited to try this! This has been such an issue for me. Is tarte shape tape considered a "dry" concealer?

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

Laura Hargrave yes that is a perfect one. I need to get my hands on that too

[@jodyaraque2593]

Thank you for doing such a great video! I am going to try this technique! I heard Wayne Goss say he really like that setting spray your using. Right now, I have the Nyx brand in matte and a small Urban decay All Nighter. I also bought some "Line Smoother + Primer from Amazing Cosmetics. I am not sure if this product is good or not, so I will try with your technique and play around. As of yet, my under eyes have been looking pretty wrinkly!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

you are so welcome!!! Let me know how it goes xo

[@yansefy7287]

hi elle ammmazing video...as usual😍 does this work with one more layer which is the corrector underneath? or would it crease then

[@laylay_on_paws]

Thx cause this always happens to me no matter what I try so fingers crossed here

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

and toes!! xoxo ;0

[@lindacurce4854]

Great video. I've been adding the oil. And it seems to help. But love the setting spray idea. Thank you. Could you recommend a under eye primer? For 70 ish skin. Please????

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

Linda Curce thanks!! Yes the setting spray helps so much!!! I love the one by cover FX. It is an anti-aging primer. It is steller xo

[@eerye70]

i am going to have to try the setting spray before the concealer part! i have and love the Tarte maricuja concealer, it is really thick though but it still creases even when i use my finger to tap it into place. but the brush may be the wrong one and i need to try the setting spray trick. thanks!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

does the same on me!!! xoxo

[@meganmorris9762]

Great video!!

[@janewright8249]

Thank you

[@AnnafromHungarylvNW]

Magic!

[@katefrance2209]

It worked!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

whoo woo!!

[@lemondedesam9863]

love your technique. i will try out. But the primer it doesn't work under my eyes. i try that one day with the primer potion. The oil look really good for the undereye, i will try out 😄 xo

[@cozettem8226]

It certainly helps when you have no bags, dark circles or wrinkles under your eyes to worry about! One light application of concealer does not even come close to covering my dark circles, and even using a color corrector underneath with a concealer layered over it, the purple dark circles seep through. Top that off with the fact I'm 46 with fine lines and wrinkles and crepeyness under the eyes and you have a nightmare situation that cannot be covered and only looks twice as old when adding concealer and powder. Ugh, I think my only hope is laser resurfacing or something. Nothing helps me. But maybe if I use my UD setting spray on a brush or sponge when applying the concealer as you did in this demo, I at least won't have to add setting powder which even the lightest amount makes me look much older. I will try this trick thank you, but you are blessed as you have no hereditary bags, dark circles, or wrinkles under your eyes!

[@turena8745]

Cozette M I get it, I got a laser treatment called fraxel on the under eye area about 8 years ago and it made such a difference! (I’m 48). I use like 2 eye creams and my under eye area is actually..pretty good now.

[@Mlpgirl168]

True. She doesn't appear to have much to cover. I'd see a cosmetic dermatologist. Ain't nobody got time for all that work and frustration you are going through. Best wishes. Let us know how it works out!

[@mizlisa19]

Cozette M same here. I’m a #tiredhag. Been covering since 8th grade. I’m not that awake looking even w all my products. I’d kill to look like that

[@mizlisa19]

Cozette M I’ve gotten under eye filler and it was a miracle but $450 a pop.

[@kyleguersey5004]

People who work don't have two hours to wait between applying their under eye moisturizer and the dry oil. How much time is needed between the two?

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

I would say 5 min

[@Allyson6C]

How the heck did I miss the upload of this video??? Anyway it's great! I have a question.... what can I use in the under eye area because any type of powder makes it look dry? Should I do like the video & just skip the powder? Seems like it might work.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

Allyson Sixx I would actually try both. Try no powder and then try a baked powder. I love doing both xo 😘

[@samanthabreeze1422]

lu lu lu your channel gorgeous 👄 💕 your tips and advice are so great thank you new subscriber can't put your channel down so refreshing💋❤

[@monicapatton1405]

Instead of eye shadow primer under the eye could you use the Tatcha Silk?

[@MissJoysArtRoom]

The oil doesn’t break down the concealer?? Another Q, can this technique be done without foundation on the face, just a powder (such as Mac mineralize?)

[@jennifermiranda7674]

I think the trick is to use the kind of oil she suggested, that will seep into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. There are a lot of this kinds in the market these days, specially if they're for the face.

[@GeekyKat]

@Elle, Is this the video you meant? If so, do you still use these products, and in the same fashion? Thanks again!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yes! one of them, I use these products still bit you can substitute them for ones you like

[@GeekyKat]

@@ElleLearyArtistry Thanks again! After watching your videos, plus a few others, and practicing, I've been getting compliments from friends, and my boyfriend. Loving it! Thank you for what you do! 💕

[@2lipToo]

Very nice! I guess I need some eye primer and setting spray. (Sigh.)

[@desireelane8338]

What would be the better drugstore concealer options to use with this technique? Also I have a hard time setting my concealer even the smallest amount makes me look like a prune under my eyes

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

Maybelline instant age rewind xo

[@peggy7707]

the "setting component" in setting spray is comprised of alcohol. Do you really recommend using alcohol under the eye area?

[@bethhatfield920]

There are alcohol free setting sprays u just gotta check ingredients.

[@teterenko]

Many people say to apply concealer on the inner corner of t he eye along the bridge of the nose, how would you do that is this necessary?

[@Jimmyboygohome]

I’m going to try this tonight and get back to you

before concealer and foundation xo
