How To: Color Correct Dark Circles

[@allietheparanormaladventurer]

My under eyes are sooo dark and deepest. I follow your tutorials and suggestions like it’s the Bible. They are so helpful and have made such a difference in my makeup. I’m almost 45 and you changed my makeup game. Thanks Nikki you are gorgeous and talented and I just love okie videos and tips.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hi Allie! Thank you so so much for watching all my tutorials! The fact that they have made a difference in your daily makeup routine makes me so sooo happy !!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tracytKthompson]

Same! I have dark under eye hollows, fine lines. I'm late forties and still trying to make my under eyes better! I would ❤ to hear your techniques!

[@loriroden2247]

Hi Nikki, I recently came across your channel and am so impressed with your tutorials that I have been glued to your channel all weekend! I just turned 70 and have very dark circles under my eyes along with bags and of course lose skin and wrinkles. None of the concealers I've tried over the years have ever worked for me. Then I came across your tutorial on color correction, and then it all made since!! Lol. No wonder it wasn't working! Thank you so much for for all your tutorials, they are all so helpful. Even at 70 I still Love experimenting with makeup! You and your husband Mitch are adorable! You are so beautiful and your husband so handsome. I just purchased Smashbox Becca in Med. I have warm and olive undertones and I'm hoping it will work. I will also try the Nars Radiant creamy color corrector in Med. Sorry this is so long just wanted to tell you how glad I am to have found your channel. You are so talented Nikki and I love to watch all your tutorials. Wish me luck with trying to camouflage my very dark undereye circles. :-) Lori

Could you do a video on using tinted moisturizers and making it all look amazing without too many products?

[@FunManufacturer]

Hi Nikki, where does foundation/tinted moisturiser fit into this routine? Does it go before/after the corrector, first concealer, second concealer, powder?

[@mina_ophelia.Moonbeam]

thank you so so much for this video. I really need it because I have a really bluish darks circles and very pale skin, so they're so visible even with concealer. I hope to end this problem with your tricks. tomorrow I'll go to Sephora for sure!XD thanks again, you're my make up life savior, you're so brilliant and talented, and you explicate everything so so well, I'm just thinking to go to a make up school and became a make up artist.

Hi Nikki! I truly appreciate all of tutorials, but this one especially! I have fair/light skin, but my darkness is deep. I'm curious if I should purchase a corrector based upon my skin tone or depth of discoloration. Thanks tons!

[@melindamartin1195]

Hi Nikki!!Can you do an updated video on this showcasing some newer products that may be available? Especially for mature skin...

[@veronicaleon8075]

Love love love shat you are teaching. Can't wait to buy products. I have mature, olive skin color and sun spot damage, a BIT of a challenge,.. but I really needed this guidance. Thank you so much!

[@2mangamonsters]

I'm totally trying out these new tips on my undereyes when I go out. Sometimes my dark circles still peek out at the darkest parts. Also, I have these naturally "puppy" eyes where there's these divots at the outer corner of my eyes giving me a natural straight out or downward eyeliner shape as well as hooded eyes with not much eyelid real estate. But sometimes I want to do a cat eye or a wing that goes up and all glammed up and such instead of a cutesie look. Hopefully it'll also work on the divots on the outer Vs of my eyes because I really want to expand my choices for eye makeup.

[@pnevlud]

Hi Niki I have mature skin. I don’t wear foundation so concealer shades are tough for me to pick. I am light skinned with cool/neutral undertones. Currently I just use Sigma Duo corrector in shade light/med, mostly the light side topped with CT flawless powder in shade fair. I’m looking for a more emollient corrector or a concealer that matches my skin like sigma does. Don’t need to brighten it up, I like it to look like I’m not wearing anything. I’m light like you with some of those pesky veins coming through now. Suggestions are welcome. Thank you. Great video ❤

[@jenniferchludzinski9381]

Thanks for this video- so helpful! What are you wearing on your lips??Beautiful color that is subtle but gorgeous!!

[@jori7398]

Stunning and so deeply helpful! Thank you, Nikki! xx 🌷💞

[@pjolly24]

Can you apply cream products after this, like a cream blush? I’d be worried about the cream mixing with the powder along the cheek bone. Made the mistake years ago of accidentally mixing cream and powder and it was not good lol 😳😅

[@mariarita-ferreira920]

Yes 🙌🏼 amazing! Nikki, would you be able to use this technique if you only wear a tinted moisturizer? I hate heavy foundations and can’t do it 😬

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

[@playingtime24]

Any good drugstore concealers for this technique? I rarely use full coverage concealers so it makes sense (like you say :)) that when I've tried to color correct with them some peach shows through or mixes and it looks weird. I like the kosas, nars creamy and maybelline fit me. And I use bobbi brown corrector or la girl. I also feel like I can never get my sponge perfectly damp! It's either too wet or too dry! 😄

Also, can I use the Charlotte tilbury eye cream or is that to greasy? I use that and HA and setting spray last. But it still looks cakey. HELP! Lol! ❤️

[@sairralax8215]

What moisturizer do you like to use under makeup?

[@adriennef7219]

Thank you! This was so helpful! Any suggestions for when that shadow under the eye where it meets your cheek becomes more hollow and darker looking? I’m 50 and it’s gotten worse 🤦🏼‍♀️ I try a little brightener there but I don’t want to add too many layers under my aging eyes either. Loving your videos, such attention to detail! Thank you! 💙

[@KayMay12]

I have this too. For me it’s hereditary. I heard color corrector helps. Also, concealer but let it dry a bit so it has a lot of coverage. FWIW I’ve also gotten filler there to lessen the look.

[@adriennef7219]

@@KayMay12 my darkness is hereditary too, the hollows getting worse I’m sure is age. I’m thinking about the fillers but it makes me nervous! Might come down to that though.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

I totally hear you with this and know exactly what you mean, my best tip is to in fact just use a lighter shade to highlight that area and bring light back to it. If that’s not doing enough I’d suggest using a bit of color corrector first just like this video and then applying the brighter shade on top. Just make sure to use thin layers so it’s not too heavy !! I hope this helps! Let me know!

[@hellolaurado]

Soooo super helpful! I’ve learned so much, thank you!

[@atadlish]

What an excellent, well-explained, clear tutorial on sth we all so need Nikki! Just a question, I don't always do the color correct, so I'm guessing I could follow these techniques and cut that step (i.e. moisturize well, concealer with sponge not brush, powder with same sponge while looking high in the sky)? Thanks so much🌺🙏❤

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

100 percent you can absolutely skip the color correct and use the rest of my techniques for a smooth under eye! Thank you for watching this tutorial!!❤️❤️

[@tinaspencer-king3441]

Hello Nikki! How are you? I love your videos, and love watching your videos. However, I have some questions about skincare I guess you would say, and makeup application & other stuff. I am 47 years old and wasn't good to my skin/face when I was younger and for many years. I never was taught about skincare and the application and the different products also were never taught about makeup and how to apply it correctly and how to apply it. As I'm getting older my face is showing a lot of aging. I have a lot of wrinkles. I have really bad crow's feet from having bad eyesight since childhood plus not wearing sunscreen & sunglasses. I know probably the best thing for crow's feet is botox and other cosmetics correcting procedures. Is there anything that you can help me with for this problem? It seems like when I apply foundation, concealer which I really suck at mind you it settles into my crow's feet and makes them stand out worse, instead of trying to make them not as noticeable. Can you please help me? Thank you so much for all your time, help, & patience. I greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!
