The BEST UNDER EYE SETTING POWDERS for MATURE Skin | TEXTURE | FINE LINES | OVER 40

[@cecacademicadvisor]

I prime under my eyes with radiant rose Mac prep and prime then I use concealer and then I take a beauty blender and spray Scandinavia setting spray on the beauty blender and press it on the under eye area. This was a technique by Wayne Goss. I find that this technique works. So I quit using powder under my eyes. I am 60 years old and my under eyes are dry too.

[@loriann3744]

What a great idea.

[@cecacademicadvisor]

And it works . : o ) at least for my under eyes. I was thrilled.

[@rhondamae1980]

Bev Sivert what concealer do you use under your eyes ?

[@Sport_Gamerz6900]

Hi...which concealer ur using?is it not creasing?

[@chloesanders05]

So does it stay all day?

[@lpittmon1]

I really love the Boots loose powder for under the eyes. I find that all over setting powders are easier to come by, but finding the perfect under eye powder for my over 40 under eyes has been a challenge. I used to use NYC loose which looked great at first, but seemed to dry out my under eyes as the day went on. The Boots no7 looks amazing all day long and also works as an all over setting powder. It brightens, blurs, mattifies and hydrates all at the same time. It seems to melt into my skin, never looks powdery and isn't too expensive! I found it on your channel and have fallen in love with it! Thank you so much!

[@kathyu232]

I use the NO7 under my eyes and the other cover fx one. They do not crease on me either. I stopped using my IT cosmetics bye bye powder under my eyes. I looked horrible, but I love the finish on my face. I agree not all powders work the same

[@teresamcgonagle5191]

My under eyes are so dry! I've tried many powders without success. I found what sets my concealer without powder. I use Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer & spray Make Up Forever Mist & Fix on a beauty blender & lightly tap it over concealer. It makes my concealer stay put.

[@jayhulrs1435]

Great tip

[@eerye70]

I haven't as a general rule used powder to set my under eye area. To be honest, i have completely avoided using concealer under my eyes because of the crinkling and creasing and it just looked so awful. I have just recently started using a super hydrating eye cream that is specifically for the under eye area. I can then use the Shape Tape or maracuja concealer and set with setting spray. I use the tiny Real Technique tiny sponge and once it is damp i spray the sponge and set with it. The second i use any powder, any powder, it goes down hill. awful. But i also don't have any discoloration or puffiness or bags. I just want some brightening. Anyway, i have to set with spray. I am currently using Milani spray, but i have used Urban Decay spray as well.

[@Gizmolover77]

eerye70 ...Can I ask what the hydrating under eye cream you use is? I have trouble finding a good one!! Thanks so much 😁

[@aquaopa1]

eerye70 same. I’m in my 30s and powder does not work for me for under eyes. Setting spray or I use a concealer that does not need to be set (like Tarte Shape Tape)

[@einhyatt]

Im 35 with very very puffed undereye, dark circle, eyebags u name it. Have recently used Estee Lauder new patented eye cream (the most expensive on Sephora) and Tarte marajuca over it. Way too shiny and oily for me which accentuates the puff. Dont know what to do 😭

[@staceyo1723]

Isn't it funny how different products are on each person? I have dry undereyes and hate the LM but love the By Terry. For me, I use the Tarte maracuja concealer (teeny amount) and pat off excess, then use teeny bit of the By Terry and it works great. I've tried so many combos and this one seems to work. Thanks for sharing!!

[@sharonkearney9114]

I tried the Laura Mercier under eye powder for the first time ever today and I could see the glittery bits straight away. It’s like tiny whilte/silver sparkle. Will be saving it for highlighter or summer shimmer.

[@Xnannersxx]

I absolutely in love with the Koty airspun! I forget to grab my others when I am in a hurry. I recently fell back in love with my L’Oréal Hydration powder... so fine and works with a light hand. Baking doesn’t always work for me, think I rush too much. They have stepped up the powder game with a few of the drug store brands.

[@rachelwarnick5790]

I have really dark circles and I also have super dry skin, so bad that I even get eczema patches under my eyes. My favorite is actually one of your dislikes, the Hourglass Powder in Dim Light. I just stamp a little bit under my eyes and it makes such a difference. It keeps my concealer set (I live in SC so humidity tends to cause all my makeup to melt off), looks natural, and doesn't emphize my dry/textured under eyes or settle into lines.

[@truebaronesse5653]

I would highly recommend the Sensai translucent loos powder. It is the only powder I have tried that actually improves the look of my under eye skin, instead of exaggerating the flaws.

[@wendyarmstrong9702]

Nars Light Reflecting loose powder is amazing under eyes (and everywhere else). It makes texture, fine lines, and pores disappear like magic!

[@mariaremediostomas4923]

I too have really crinkly under eyes (I'm in my late 40's) so I'll definitely be trying one or two of your favorite powders and will let you know how it works out. You (& Angie of Hot and flashy) are my favorite KZbinrs for us older gals! You deserve a million subscribers and hope you get there soon! More power to you!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you SO much Maria! 😘

[@0080breezzy]

I also love the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder I just started using it under my eyes. I've reached the age now where I can really see my skin changing with that powder it really helps set the concealer to cover my dark circles. Fabulous!!

[@danielafriganovic836]

I tried setting with damp blender and I must say....IT WORKS! Great tip, thank you! 💖💖💖💖

[@kosmosbjm]

This is only the second video of yours that I’ve seen, and you do an excellent job. You get right to the point and you understand what you’re talking about. I have clear mature skin, but find it difficult to find a setting blurring powder for the under eye area.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much! 💗

[@robind2727]

Have you tried the Becca under eye balm and under eye brightening setting powder? I recently bought these and they have changed my under eye game. I use the balm, then Shape Tape, then the brightening powder and have had fantastic results. At 52, I definitely have crepe, dark circles and lines to hide and this combo does the trick for me.

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi Robin! Yes, I talked about them in my Feb Faves and Fails video and have a comparison of the powder with LM's here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/invcdHmHYr6ZjJY. :)

[@robind2727]

Stephanie Marie Hi Stephanie: :) I just watched your LM/Becca video. Great comparison video! I have never tried the LM product but it is nice to know it is nearly equal to the Becca. I bought the Becca under eye balm and powder at the same time and love the combination. I have had so much trouble getting my concealer to lay down over an area of texture I have on one eye. This balm not only de-puffs the area nicely (I use a dab of it on my upper lids as well) but it helps my concealer go on SO much better and smoother. I’ve tried some other products but none have come close to this. You’ll have to let us know if you liked the Becca under eye balm as well. Have a wonderful day :)

[@twiggyclarklondon]

I have the Laura mercier white powered £35 ( usd 50 bucks ) I got baby powder £1 ( 1.50 dollars ) and I tried one under left eye and one under right eye ... left all day and the 2 dollar baby powder was exactly the SAME as the Laura Merciar white powder. I mentioned my talc bargain secret to Laura mercier make up seller lady and she said she used to use 2 dollar baby powder talc too when she was younger . So save your money and just use talcum powder 🤣🙌

[@ginnyburley9552]

First of all, it boggles my mind that anyone would be upset with you for not liking ANY powder. Goodness! Secondly, you've done a great job sharing your experience with this mountain of powders. Thank you for your honesty. I struggle terribly finding any powder that works wonderfully under the eyes. My best bet is a concealer that doesn't need to be set to look good and stay put, and for me that is the Maybelline Fit Me. But I have awful under eye darkness and bags, so I do my very best with corrector and concealers. BTW, the only way I might be able to use powders successfully under my eyes is VERY lightly with a powder puff, not a sponge or brush.

[@SimplyMeWithGlitter]

Thank you so much for this series of videos on powders and how to set and finish. I have gotten so much info and tried some new products that have quickly became favorites! Love you, love your videos, keep them coming!

[@becca3115]

One of the samples you can request for your October ipsy bag is the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores pressed version. I have normal to dry skin, so I've always wanted to try it, but I was afraid it might make my skin look drier. Has anyone else tried it? Awesome video! ❤ XOXO

[@corrigandavidson2356]

I'm so glad I found your channel. I have combo/oily skin and if I don't set my under eye my concealer slides off. This is so helpful ❣️

[@adrianadupus9894]

I agree with you about the by Terry powder. I splurged for it and it was so disappointing. I recently purchased the laura mercier under eye brightening powder and it is the best in my book. I have very dry under eyes as well. Others may mouth but tend to darken my under eye area after concealer. I dont see glitter or sparkle at all with the LM.

[@pnevlud]

Recently I started using Mac prep and prime under my mature eyes. Spray on back of hand, tap with middle finger under eyes, Nars creamy radiant concealer then ever so little of laura Mercier secret brightening powder with brush. Works great!

[@AmyLSchulte]

I've tried a bunch of the same with meh results. The very best I ever found was Mally Poreless Perfection Skin Finisher. Probably got it in a TSV years ago. Then bought singles and many off Haute Look. I need more but it's not easy to find.

[@dawnh1627]

So, I was already using the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder under my eyes, but applying with a brush. Loving your damp sponge tip now though, thanks! Appreciate the other suggestions on what other powders work for your over 40 dry under eyes as that is my predicament as well (along with my combo/oily skin so what works for you generally works for me there too). Super helpful as usual, Stephanie :)

[@charlimarievalosen5558]

I am another one who unfortunately can not use any powder underneath my eyes. I have tried your techniques and others but no matter what I do it just looks bad. I find my best results are I use my under eye moisturizer (by Riversol) let that settle in then lightly patting in my under eye concealer (Maybelline instant Age rewind). You are so lucky to be able to use the powders underneath your eyes and look so beautiful❤

[@StephanieMarie]

I feel the opposite! I think you're the lucky one to be able to not wear powder! I crease instantly no matter what I do if I don't wear powder. I'm envious of YOU! 😘

[@graceibis]

So I just found you while doing a search on best under eye setting powders. I made the mistake of ordering the ELF under eye setting powder. I actually referred myself to the Crypt keeper with this. It enhanced my wrinkles so bad it was embarrassing. I tried different techniques to no avail. Thank you for posting this. I'm now a subscriber and will binge watch to play catch-up. I'd rather watch and get information from someone closer to my age then someone over half my age.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much! Glad to help and to have you here!

[@chrissycat7883]

PUR loose translucent setting powder is my HG. No talc. Pricey for the amount but worth it! No talc & I hardly need ANY. My 41yr old under eyes look the best they have in yrs since using PUR .

[@ninajg2011]

So glad I watched this! Was going to purchase the LM translucent powder for under the eyes. Just purchased the LM Secret brightening powder. Thanks so much for your review!

[@glamenough1452]

Awesome review. Thank you! What a comprehensive look at what's out there! I have some shopping to do.

[@SueB402]

I've been setting my powder with a damp BB instead of a brush like you suggested and find that helps decrease the cakey look. I do like the LM brightening powder but also love my Airspun, which is more affordable, and that's a plus. Thanks for your helpful tips as always. 😊

[@compassionatern1]

I think I've finally found the perfect combo...UD peach corrector, Nars concealer in custard & ByTerry powder applied with the Real Techniques setting brush! 😊

[@StephanieMarie]

You're the first viewer so far that's gotten the By Terry powder to work on your under eyes! What's the secret!!??

[@KMT-jb5mv]

Great video!! So I had the byterry on my list to try, Brianna sanko loves this.... now I'm thinking.... I am 38, also have dry under eyes and have texture and oily combo skin. I never had dark circles until I had my son and he is two, I don't remember life without dark circles. Your pausing moment was hilarious 😂. My absolutely favorite under eye powder is the NARS crystallized skin finish.

[@sharonbrady4596]

This is not really related to this video but I wanted to thank you for introducing me to squalane by the ordinary. I wear it in the am before my foundation and in the evening and it is the only thing in my whole life that has helped stopped my skin from producing excessive amounts of oil. Plus now I'm older it makes my foundation go on better. THANK YOU! Your videos are awesome and so are you.

[@StephanieMarie]

That's great Sharon! I'm so glad it's helped regulate your skin! Thank you!

Have you tried Bye Bye Pores from It Cosmetics? It's my absolute favorite!

[@Jiminphoria]

Lisa Alvarez would it work on dry skin?

[@coreymichelle408]

I never used anything on my face other than foundation until this year. I thought my skin was oily but it’s combination. I’m using a concealer, age rewind and Laura Mercer to set and it's quite good. I do have wrinkles and I find the powder not drying, non creasing and I feel it brightens me up a bit. I have to say I use a feather brush and apply. I think the powder will last me 10 years there's so much!

[@kentuckywildcatfan5096]

I love the LM secret brightening powder. My fav! You do such thorough reviews and I really appreciate that!! Thank you!!!! 💕

[@Zebra100001]

I have the EXACT same issues with both the By Terry and the Bare Minerals powders under my eye. Oh and the elf one too. At one time I was really into the tarte Smooth Operator powder under the eye and a similar one from MUFE which I now think has become the Ultra HD Microfinishing powder (which I have not tried) - but then I fell for the Laura Mercier Translucent and have trouble straying. I did find the LM Secret Brightening Powder too sparkly but I still have it so maybe it's time to give it another go. Great video!

[@StephanieMarie]

I wonder if mixing the LMs would work?! *lightbulb moment!!* 🤔

[@NurseReign88]

Have been struggling with covering my dark circles and tear troughs as well as texture, I will try your top product.

[@AliciaFannin]

Love the video! And that color top is gorgeous on you!

[@sapphirelady2]

I am so bummed that the By Terry doesn't work for you under the eyes. I use just a tiny amount with a fluffy blush and it sets beautifully and even gives me a slight airbrushed finish. But makeup is very YMMV and that's why there are so many options!! Loved hearing all your favorites!

[@heathergraff6740]

Another super helpful video, thank you! I do have a question though... Is there such a thing as using too little powder when you are setting your undereyes? I haven't been able to create a really smooth undereye no matter what I do.

[@StephanieMarie]

I've actually replied a few times about that below. Dusting it on lightly with a brush can give an uneven, patchy, dry look. That's why I apply it the way I do in my setting powder "how to" video I referenced at the beginning of the video. Good question!

[@AngelAbernathyBeauty]

I love the w3ll people biobrightener powder! So perfect! I love that it sets my makeup but doesn't completely mattify and still leaves me with a glow. 💖

[@JoyfullyThrifted]

[@StephanieMarie]

[@MissHannah2036]

Bobbi Brown sheer finish loose powder in medium is beautiful for setting all over. I would continue to buy it but it is $68.00 AUD. I'm 52 with dry skin. The BB has a sort of sheen to it but not noticeable, so it doesn't just finish flat. I think if it is a problem area you need to go high end if you don't want makeup settling into lines and mottelling. I can use any concealer, cheap NYX HD, $10.00 but need a decent setting powder, the powder is key :)

[@yensid4294]

I just have better luck in general with loose powder vs. pressed. I was told a long time ago that pressed powders have fillers in them to make them solid so loose would be better. In my experience, that has been true. Loose powders usually disappear & buff in easily while pressed powders always seem to look, well, powdery & noticeable & obvious. Unfortunately loose powders aren't convenient for travel or touch ups. But many are available in the tiny sample size & those can easily be thrown in a mu bag or purse, so it's not a big deal for me. I love sample sizes for this reason.

Another wonderful video, Stephanie. You always look so gorgeous in your videos, such beautiful skin and makeup, you are just a natural beauty!! I have dry skin and find the ByTerry loose powder really difficult to use anywhere on my face, having oily/combo skin yourself do you think it works better for your skin type? I have found so many negative reviews in the past year (I've probably had it 9-10 months and only used it 3 times!). Great video, as always..thanks for sharing, Beautiful! 😘, Jen

[@StephanieMarie]

It's funny b/c I always thought that particular powder was supposed to be suited for normal/dry skin. I wonder if there was a reformulation? It's not hydrating like I thought it would be. I can't set with it using my normal method. I have to lightly dust it on my face. It's very different. 🤔 Thanks Jen!

[@CherylPA]

This was so helpful! I very much appreciate the explanations of why you did/did not like these products. I ordered the No. 7 powder today (I finally pulled the trigger in light of the Becca gift with purchase that Ulta offered this morning 😁) based on your recommendation, and I am waiting on some Hourglass products to arrive following some videos on finishing powders. I think I need to avoid KZbin for a while until my wallet recovers...

[@kathykit7629]

Good video. I tried the No. 7 under the eye and it looks a little cakey in the very inner corner. It is a beautiful finishing powder. Have you tried the Nars crystal translucent loose powder or the Ben Nye. I have heard positive things but would like your opinion.

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes, I'm not a huge fan of the NARS crystal. It's been years since I've tried the Ben Nye, so I don't recall much about it. Thanks Kathy!

[@k.hebert]

The wet n wild powder has a sheen to it?! I've never tried it, but this is surprising to me. Most reviews I've seen on it have never mentioned that aspect, at all. If it does have a sheen to it, that actually makes me WANT to try it for my face, because I have super dry skin and I really love those powders that have a natural sheen to them because it looks better on my skin! 🙂 It still blows my mind to hear you say that you are over 40 because you look SO incredibly young!!!!!

[@StephanieMarie]

It's a lot like MAC MSFN with the finish. It's not matte at all yes. Thank you so much Kayla!

[@xopinkmoonxo]

Have you tried the Ben Nye luxury powders? I use the Cameo shade which is a really softly tinted pink. Helps color correct a little and it is one of the few powders that doesn't look dry on my undereye.

[@sarahmunoz14]

I love the Chanel universal powder for high end and Maybelline shine free loose for drugstore, which is surprising because I have dry skin, but it's light and not drying. Neither have that luminous quality, which for me is sparkle that shows to much on tan skin. I do love the Hourglass ambient in radiant light to finish. I also like the Cover fx illuminating powder, which isn't really illuminating, just a nice powder. Unfortunately, it only comes in 2 shades light and medium, which is dark even on me.

[@j.laniwinkler9903]

I love your channel Stephanie, but darn that Laura Mercier is so expensive, I'm sure it lasts forever, but I'm on a budget and I just can't spend that much on a setting powder. But I love your channel. I love to learn your helpful techniques, I"m turning 51 on Thanksgiving Day and I'm getting back to wearing makeup after taking a break after cancer and things are so different now.

[@StephanieMarie]

I wish my favorite undereye setting powders were less pricey. But unfortunately, the ones I've been loving lately (and my LM too) are all high end (Charlotte Tilbury, KKW, etc.) It Bye Bye Pores pressed is nice but gives flashback. No 7 is really nice actually! I'm so glad you're doing well! 😘Thank you!

[@katekenney6521]

Just because I hate spending money if I don't have to, does the Maybelline Fit Me need to be the pressed powder or can it be the loose powder. I have bv the loose but not the pressed.

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! I've done updated powder videos since this video. You can see them under my powders playlist. I like to use the loose as a finishing powder b/c it has a tint to it. I like the pressed in translucent as a setting powder. :)

[@vaniacalveri9002]

What do you think of primers to be applied before concealers to prevent them from sticking into the signs of expression making them even worse than natural? I'm undecided between Becca anti fatigue under eye, Smashbox Photofhinish Hidrating under eye, Mac Fast response. Unfortunately, I have no way of testing them. I wouldn't want to throw money and be disappointed. Thank you

[@StephanieMarie]

Primers just don’t work on my undereyes. They seem to make me more dry which accentuates lines. Plus it’s one extra layer which is no good for that area. :)

[@vaniacalveri9002]

[@PlanningWithK]

Hi Stephanie! Do you still use Laura mercier brightening powder for under the eyes?

[@godsgirl0019]

It's ironic that you made this video today. I have kept practicing your technique for setting the under eyes/face and you were right! I guess it takes practice and figuring the amount of powder that works for us. Unfortunately I only have the L. M. Translucent. Do I'll have to try another of your higher choices. Thanks as always! God bless 🌸🌸🌸 One question, do you use pressed powder the same way? With damp blender?

[@StephanieMarie]

I do! I use it in a side area just in case it affects the powder. I've done it with a dry sponge too and it's fine that way also. :)

[@jenniferlynn1037]

Thanks so much for the info!! I appreciate your insight. I unfortunately forgot to have pen and paper ready for this video(I normally do for you and a few other favorite youtubers), so I will have to rewatch later...the struggle 😉 not.

ive been looking at dupes for high ends. since they all make claims ive been focusing on ingredients. the ones you say are hydrated feeling(by terry,w3ll people) use mica and not talc! but it also can have a shinmering effect like you noticed in the others

[@magpie1206]

Great info! I don't know what it is with the undereye you'd think that if it works for the face that it will work for the undereye since it is part of the facial area. That part of my face gets finicky...during hot weather really oily than too cold gets a bit dry..only certain time of climate does it get balance (ussually fall and sometimes spring). I heard good things about the Beautybakerie setting powder?... Maybe you could review????

[@StephanieMarie]

I can tell you in addition to these in this video, I've since discovered I like No 7 pressed, Charlotte Tilbury (GORGEOUS!!), KKW, Lancome's new mattifying. I reach for these regularly as well b/c they emphasize the least texture for me. 😘

@@StephanieMarie okay thank you 💞

What shade do you use in the Maybelline fit me powder for setting your under eyes? I know you said earlier in the video translucent powders but during the two faced & fit me you said beige tint Thank you I love your videos you have helped me more than I can ever begin to comment I have dreadful hereditary hollow dark under eyes I want to try the Tarte shape tape and the other one that's thicker that you & many others like as well as the amazing concealer However I'm on a drugstore budget so need to figure out which one to buy Do you think the amazing concealer would be better for me being I don't do full coverage makeup I apologize for getting off subject & rambling again your opinion matters to me Especially since you have same concerns as mature dry under eyes with texture I have tried setting my under eyes roo many times to end up looking like a prune no matter how little I use It's very frustrating

[@StephanieMarie]

I'd actually look at ELDW Stay in Place concealer, which I discovered AFTER doing my extensive concealer testing video. It's got almost the same coverage level of Tarte Shape Tape but more hydration and is easier to work with as far as blending out and topping with powder than the Amazing. As for the powders, I meant they're called translucent but not stark white...they have a slight beige tint to them. Hope that helps! :)

Stephanie Marie Thank you for replying & for your helpful suggestion I truly appreciate it

I have oily combo face/scalp but my under eye and rest of my body is so dry. Weird how that happens. I love the Kat von D for my face but it is so drying under the eye. I have not found a powder that works for my under eye. I am going to pick up the Well People or Cover FX and give it a try.

[@aeshmadeva438]

Hi Stéphanie, thank you for your videos ! Have you tried bye bye bye pores (loose powder version) by it cosmetics ? Thanks a lot

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes. It’s in a few of my powder videos in that playlist. It’s very nice but can give flashback. Thank you!

[@aeshmadeva438]

@@StephanieMarie thank you, I hadn't notices it, but it's good to Knox. Thank you for all of tout advices 👍

[@mauistarz8302]

I love the becca hydra powder. I have combo/ oily skin but my under eyes are dry and my eye lids are supper oily lol smh. I tend to use shea oil as a serum under my eyes and then set it with a tiny bit of the becca hydra powder. I'm waiting for a hydrating banana powder lol

[@angelahomicz1813]

HI Steph, do you ever use the powders from a contouring paletteto set your under eyes? I got a contouring palette in my Boxycharm but I'm never sure how to use all the powders.

[@StephanieMarie]

I try them. Sometimes they work fine. More times than not, I like my regular powders better though. You can certainly use them!

[@loraoliver1516]

Thank you for this informative video!! I want to try the LM brightening powder. All I have is the LM translucent and it works just OK. I also have dry under eye and also have a few years on you. ; ) . I bought the Benefit corrector you recommended and hope to find the Tarte Shape Tape in the color I need today. Excited to try new things!! I'll let you know how they work for me.

[@sarahedawkins]

I purchased the Koh Gen Doh translucent maifanshi powder to try and get a cheaper version of the By Terry hyaluronic... But I'm not sure I'm using it right, it's definitely very white. Has anyone had good results with it?

[@1986candylicious]

I’m on the hunt for the perfect powder under my eyes but I like a pink tinted powder. I find it further hides my dark under eye circles. Have you tried pink powders? I also loved the Laura Mercier secret brightening powder until I saw the micro glitters in natural light. :( Wish they had a pink version with no glitter.

[@StephanieMarie]

I'd advise you to NOT try the new Becca under eye powder if the LM powder doesn't work for you. I don't notice the LM microglitters at all. The Becca showed up in a horrible way...as in I had to remove my under eye makeup and start over! I don't use a pink but it sounds like it brightens in the way an under eye corrector does. :)

[@1986candylicious]

Stephanie Marie oh no! Thank you for the heads up!

[@mistyjordan5662]

Do you use the avocado cream only before makeup or at night too? I think I’m gonna give that a chance and the Laura mercier brightening powder. You talk about those a ton and I have a dry under eye too. I can’t get shape tape to work for me to save my life and I’ve tried it your way. I want to make it work bc the. Coverage is amazing.

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi Misty! When I was younger I used it am and pm. But I like more treatment-type eye creams at night for anti-aging purposes. If ST is still a struggle, even with those and a facial oil, coconut oil, etc. I HIGHLY suggest ELDW concealer (with the wand applicator). It’s terrific!

[@mistyjordan5662]

Stephanie Marie the avocado cream says it’s a treatment so what kind of treatment do you mean? I’ve been using the drunk elephant oil but I definitely need something more affordable too.

[@aprilcorry7785]

Love the video! I know you have kids would you do a video or give some tips! My daughter is 11 and starting to go through "the change" she is starting to get a few break outs. I don't know what to have her use to wash her face that very gentle. Should I have her wash morning and night like I do? Should she use a toner and moisturizer too? I don't wanna overwhelm her since she is still so young but wanna have her start since she is having breakouts. Thanks!!!😉

[@StephanieMarie]

I'll think about that. Videos for kids can be kind of tricky since adolescence is so individual. And sometimes OTC skincare just doesn't work and the derm route is the way to go b/c of hormones. I'll think on that April! Thanks!

[@aprilcorry7785]

Thank you!!

[@MsNina-rn2ox]

If your daughter is dealing with hormonal acne have the dermatologist write a prescription foe Onexton. It’s not over drying yet attack’s the acne.

[@Danellr007]

I received a deluxe sample of the Tarte Smooth Operator Amazon clay loose powder. And it works great, would love to hear what you think of that one.

[@mayaamis]

my under eye is not even dry, my skin is oily my under eye area is normal and soft to touch, and I additionally moisturize it before makeup, and yet as soon as any amount of powder touches that area I immediately look like I have 100 times more wrinkles, which are not even visible without powder. I tried all techniques and just made peace with the fact that under eye setting powders are not for me. :(

[@innan.599]

Bare minerals the duo from boxycharm is awesome!!!!

[@943862]

Intetestingly, I get the best results when I tap the powder into my undereyes with a brush. I'd tried setting them with sponge for a long time, they looked overly dried and wrinkly. I don't know what I do wrong about this sponge technique that most ladies love 🤔

[@StephanieMarie]

Do what works for you! Sometimes a brush works better for me lately. It may be dependent on the powder/concealer combo you have going on as well. :)
