This LIFE CHANGING Concealer Hack From A Celebrity Makeup Artist Might Blow Your Mind! 🤯

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Hello viewers! Please keep in mind this hack is something Scott uses for long photoshoots. Some people might find that if they do this daily, small bumps(milia) could appear. Therefore, I would suggest only doing this a couple times per week or for special occasions. I do have other videos on my channel demonstrating concealer tips and tricks for daily use. Thank you for watching! ❤

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Risa

[@sheemaalen9286]

Wow looks flawless tfs! ❤ 😊

Girl you are so REAL for not using the blur filters everyone else uses. Thank you for showing us how beautiful you are with your natural skin and how to slay this hack. Can’t wait to try. 🥹

[@angierodriguez258]

No thanks. Tried it and it was very uncomfortable. Didn’t like it. I get the same results with what I’ve already been using. It’s a nice concept just not for my eyes or face. Thank you tho!❤

[@MyGirls0417]

Agreed!

[@celine5506]

I have been using Aquaphor under eyes and lips for at least 3 years! Found this out by myself. Never shared it, but it truly works. The secret is to use just a little bit, spread it thinly, and 5 min. later, put on the concealer (patting gently, not spreading it with a brush). In the past, I used vaseline, very lightly under concealer, on dry days... or bad morning. I also have a few tricks I have figured out for concealing dark spots perfectly, waterproof! I am an oil painter, and my approch is the same as on canvas. Look at makeup like a painter.

[@StaciLeaBeauty]

Interesting!

[@peggysmyth6110]

Me too.😊

[@HelenNaum]

I've been using the elf color corrector under my eyes before foundation and concealer. It has a very grease like consistency. I was never sure what to think of that but now thst I saylw this video it makes sense... I'm going to pay closer attention to it now and perhaps use it arpund my mouth and see what happens

[@MagickalMe1133]

Oh please share how you cover dark spots. Thank you

[@shannonunruh-hallock2522]

Same.

[@juleanekent917]

I have never used aquaphor, but my undereyes were so dry a couple of years ago, that I picked up my Nivea lip balm and thought if it is good on my lips, let's give it a go under my eyes. I have used either it or my chapstick ever since. I've never seen anyone else do it before, and I never told anyone because the hate and negativity out there is real. So excited when I see something like this. Makes me feel like my almost 60 yr old self is not so clueless.

[@ijadorejewels4065]

Both my babies were born with severely dry skin and I only used Aqauphor on their faces and they had the most beautiful smooth skin. It also worked well when they had diaper rashes. And today my 20 year old son still uses it on his face. 😊

[@AngiePhiffer79]

Never thought to try chapstick. I’m nervous about the Aqua phone stick. It makes my lips so red and cracked but the ointment tube is amazing on my lips. I have added a touch of eye cream to my concealer and it no longer looks dry and holds up.

[@enjay252]

[@DebbiAnn2]

What a great tip!!! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@sharonm.t.2492]

I've been using my Treat Beauty lip balm under my eyes for years, too, because it has caffeine (de-puffs a bit) in the Mint & Matcha flavor - and is great for my mature, dry undereye skin. I will now try this before concealer!

[@ErinCRN]

In the 90’s “underpainting” was done by Kevin Aucoin. I feel Kevin originated highlighting and contouring. I have his books, Making Faces and Face Forward. Published in 1997 and 2001.

[@Shell_Herbs]

100%. I wasn’t there, obviously 😊, but from everything I’ve seen/heard/read it was Kevyn Aucoin.

[@manymoms920]

I think you are correct I have his early books. I would even say victoria principle showed this in her mid 80s book. It's likely been even a Hollywood film makeup trick before that. You'd probably have to go to max factor!

[@SandiTink]

Film and photo MUAs used contouring and highlighting since the media were invented. Before that, contouring and highlighting were used extensively on stage. Obviously, it didn’t start with Kevin Aucoin, but he did popularize it again.

[@melissaann5272]

Absolutely Kevyn Aucoin. Also, JLo’s original makeup artist.

[@heart12361]

Kevin Aucoin also took a lot from makeup artist Way Bandy in the 70s. I have Way's 2 books and you can see where Kevin learned his techniques.

[@JCwax-bri]

Genius! I'm 59 and I used it this morning and I have just checked - 7 hours later and it still looks great! Thank you Risa!

[@Rickybondfly]

@@avagreene3624 😂😂😂😂 so you think that if till now she have used filters, she would be so "stupid" to blow up "everything" with an unfiltered video? Keep in mind that many socials put a basic, light and un-removeable filter by default to make people more likeable to the audience and make them keep watching contents... Then there are the optional ones that a youtuber decide to use or not.... In this case you can clearly see all the features of the face like everybody in real Life has.

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

@@avagreene3624I have never EVER used a filter on a KZbin video.

[@mam564]

I'm 70 yr. old. I have some "Ultra" Chapstick and tried this hack. This is the first time that I've ever been able to use concealer, under my eyes, without it looking dried and cakey. I'm rather amazed and will continue to use it! Thanks for sharing this tip! Btw, there's a KZbin video, from "Natural Health Resources," that shows her using castor oil to remove milia within 3 days.

[@rhouse4958]

Glad you mentioned this because I got milia when I tried the vaseline hack at night under my eyes. Even with insurance it cost $50 for each milia to be removed by my dermatologist. She said to wait 6 to 9 months first to see if they go away on their own and two have disappeared and two others are starting to get smaller.

[@lisanutini5183]

OMG! I’ve used the Aquaphor stick 2 days in a row and my under eye concealer is perfect. After 8 hours (then I had to go to bed). What the heck! It also works around the corners of my mouth where I have those dynamic movements. And I’m 70!

[@karenhernon1329]

Omg you have beautiful under eyes!! You don’t even need concealer

[@VEBAQUEEN]

Wayne Goss Makeup Artist Extraordinaire also shared a similar hack using vaseline over your eye cream, its called Slugging. Ive used CeraVe healing ointment which also contains Petrolatum which is the main ingredient in Aquaphor over my eye cream ever since i saw Waynes video and yes it does work xxx

[@ju3054]

Marilyn Monroe did it, applying Vaseline all over her face under her foundation, so yeah…

[@RisaDoesMakeup]

Sadly Vaseline or anything supper emollient doesn’t work for me. It makes my concealer slide right off. I’m happy to hear it works for you though! 😃

[@VEBAQUEEN]

@@RisaDoesMakeup I've not used vaseline with concealer but used the CeraVe petrolatum over my eye cream at night, it helps the cream absorb better then washed it off the next day. Im in the UK, CeraVe contains petrolatum same as the Aquaphor. It is really thick like vaseline though so might not work with concealer. I think Aquaphor is available on Amazon xxx

[@HerGreyness]

I use it too (in winter) but in summer I use a light cover of any eye night cream - this works!

[@ReallyMimi]

Love love LOVE Wayne Goss❤

[@donnaaveni]

This is so interesting! A few months ago I started using organic Badger Baby Balm in the exact areas where you placed the Acquaphor. It is an olive oil, castor oil and beeswax based formula. I'm 75, and this has kept my skin in these areas smooth. No cream works the way this does.

I recently have been using a little of this La Roche Posay cicaplast balm under my eyes and it's been a lifesaver! And because it's white it's very brightening

[@sevothtartesama18]

Careful with the LRP cicaplast balm cause it is not meant for under eye use (it says so on their webpage). I used it on my undereyes before and they got very irritated and red. Maybe yours are not as sensitive and will not react, but putting this information out there for all the sensitive eyes girlies like me.

Hi Risa, I am 64 and a makeup lover. What I do after my concealer and powder on my under eyes, I put a tiny bit of cetaphil on my fingertips and press under my eyes to not make it look so dry, just a tip that I do that I thought I would share but would like to try the aquafor under my concealer as well

[@maggieinstitches]

Does the Cetaphil cause any breakdown of the makeup? I am 54 and have very dry skin. I love a matte look, but powder under my eyes makes the skin look even more dry than it already is. The Cetaphil suggestion sounds like it might fix that!! 😍

I am also going to give this a go… I have super dry skin, age 45, and have fine lines. I am hopeful this will work, but I am also extremely fearful that this is going to give me milia underneath my eyes which I’m already prone to developing and currently struggling with. I’ll post another comment with an update after trying this for two weeks. Thanks for posting this video! It’s super helpful to see an actual real person and someone my age with similar skin try this and I hope we both achieve success with this new hack.

I sometimes use the Tatcha serum stick in a similar way but I think Aquaphor would be a good thing to try because it looks like a great consistency and probably wouldn't budge or wear off.

I saw this on KZbin years ago. I tried it with a few different concealers and it didn’t work for me but my favourite concealers are already super hydrating. I found it didn’t last as long this way and didn’t sit as smooth. I feel like this might be great with drier concealers.

[@thegroomingbabe1325]

I totally agree . I have a friend that swears by this hack but her skin is super dry AND her everyday foundation and concealers are very drying as well

[@claudiaguilliams2651]

I had no idea this was a thing that someone was doing professionally. I started adding a smear of Aquaphor from a tiny tube several years ago. I was trying all kinds of concealers to find what would not show all of my fine lines. Nothing looked good. They all made them look more noticeable. I was having a lot of trouble with allergy eyes, and I added a little smear of Aquaphor under my eyes at night to help with my dry eyes and rubbing. I liked it and decided to add a little before I put on my foundation. After applying my foundation with a damp sponge, I decided that my under eyes looked fine with the little bit of foundation that made it under my eyes. I don’t apply foundation to my under eyes directly, but a little ends up there as I pat on my foundation. I skipped concealer all together. I decided that’s the best my under eyes have looked in a long time. Now it’s a part of my daily makeup routine.

Hi Wanted to know does the application of Aquaphor under eyes at night help with your dry eyes. I use eye drops for dry eyes and sometimes the eye mask. Let me know. Thanks.

I am a former MUA from years ago. I enjoy your videos because I know that you know your stuff. I have never seen this lip balm hack before. I have seen using Vicks Vapor Rub stick under the eyes, but not as a concealer hack. Under painting has been around for many years. I first saw it in the 80s. I loved the idea because 80s makeup had such harsh lines and under painting allowed for a dramatic look, but without the paint by numbers effect. My makeup mentor said she first saw the under painting technique in the 30s.

Interesting they under painted in the 30’s! Wow! Vicks vapor rub? I’m so sensitive I don’t think I could use that😂. I’m gonna try to sub the aquaphor for alastin’s skin regenerating nectar. It has pretty much the same consistency. I bet u have a ton of tips😊

My skin does not do well with the lanolin in any aquaphor products but I am curious about using plain Chapstick. I can say that I’m fairly susceptible to milia & the Tatcha serum stick does not cause irritation or milia and I use it every day for this.

I think that Scott Barnes is a truth artist. He aculy if I remember correctly was a art painter . So he knows how to use light and he knows diffrent technics . I like the looks he comes up with and I gave some of his products. This technic is almost like you make your concealer kind like serum concealer but not as moist. Serum conealers never cease on me and I don't have to powder. I will try this tomorrow since I watched the video late. Risa you gave us homework and we must do it 😉

I wonder if a small amount of Aquafor ointment will work the same way, or be too oily? I always have that sitting around in a tub because that's my aftercare for new tattoos.

I have been using SKINN Divine Elixer Luminous Eye Oil that I buy from QVC for at least 2 years. The oil soaks in rapidly and makes my concealer go on much easier and has helped tremendously with my dry under eyes. I will try the aquaphor to compare the two. Thank you.

Underpainting was actually the way makeup was always originally done back in the hay day. It has no name… it was just, the way.

[@drjones6567]

That's what I learned in the early 90s.

[@lonnaseeley6807]

That’s what I learned in the 70’s…it was the only way to apply makeup

[@nataliemarshall7158]

Being a teen in the 80’s concealer was always put on underneath foundation. I learned most of my makeup application from my mother and some from magazines. My mother’s mother didn’t ever wear a dot of makeup so I can’t say where my mother learnt to do her makeup. All that to say that at least down here in Oz underpainting was just the way it was done. When I started watching KZbin videos I was confused as to why everyone was putting concealer on top of their foundation 😂😂

Marilyn Monroe and Vaseline ?

[@chitterzz]

Always did concealer (we called it cover up or cover stick back then) underneath foundation in the 60s & 70s. I only recently noticed it being done the other way around.

[@DebNYCurl]

Thanks! I'll try this on my next video! At 54 I try not to wear a ton of makeup to keep it natural but this is great for special occasions!

[@worthigirl2946]

I know SB made Jlo look incredible on America's got talent or whatever. Why on earth would she not stay with him? Definitely trying the Aquaphor!❤❤ Ty hun!Looks great!

[@jewelguzman3645]

I've loved this trick for so long and was so excited they have spf lip balm now too!!! I switched to using that one the first time I saw it in store. Sunscreen and smoothing!

[@SC-pe9ir]

Over 50?! Wow, you look amazing!

[@BrooklynBronx24]

Thank you for not using filters! So many videos with filters create unrealistic expectations

[@flowerchild2657]

Since I never wear foundation nor concealer I clicked on your video for entertainment purposes just bc it's you 😁 To be honest I couldn't care less about concealers do I can't comment on the hack 😂 I "only" love blushes, eyeshadows, mascaras and lipsticks 💄 💋 HOWEVER... I wanted to comment on your eye look bc I absolutely looove that green on your lids 😍 My favourite kind of green!! What is it?! Loved also your nails, natural, simple yet very elegant. I loved the light too, it looks natural and it gives a good idea of what your skin and your makeup really look like 👏🏻 Have a nice week Risa 😊

[@rebeccahintonhines585]

Your eyes look stunning! I would love to know what the green color on your lid is. I love that shade, but I’ve not been able to find anything I like enough to buy/keep. I too have oily/textured skin, and I’m 53, so I look forward to watching your other videos. Beautiful job!

[@ashleygray3744]

Been using Aquaphor since I had my first child 8 yrs ago. The hospital & pediatrician sent several travel size tubes of it home. On dry skin days I ran out of my usual product & said “if babies can use it then it has to be great for adults”🤣🤣. I wasn’t wrong tho🤷🏻‍♀️. The one tip is a LITTLE goes a loooooonnnngggg way! There are so many ways to use it!

[@marissac713]

I've always used O'Keefe's unscented lip repair under my eyes when my eyelids are super dry. I use a dedicated one just for eyes and a separate one for lips. It's got beeswax, petrolatum, silicone, almond oil and shea butter and leaves a smooth barrier that makes concealer look so good!

[@MakeupMobster]

I wish my undereyes looked like yours before I did my makeup!

[@tiawarren5403]

Cool, I always dab lip balm onto dry zits after they are healing so the concealer was less cakey and clingy so this makes sense to me!😊

[@mishyd802]

I read a lot of comments. I think people are getting confused.! Some people think that you used the Aquaphor one that reminds people of Vaseline it’s a very clear looking gel/cream. You used the lip balm stick . Which is almost like a chap stick feel, correct? Some people think you’ve been using the regular Aquaphor that is like Vaseline almost. So they say they’ve been doing it for years, but they have not used the stick .

[@marimedgal]

I use regular Aquaphor Healing Ointment at night before bedtime on my lips and on my face after applying Vitamin C serum and moisturizer to seal everything in and to help protect my skin barrier. I didn’t even know that Aquaphor came in a lip balm form. I’m looking forward to giving this a try. I once read that Marilyn Monroe used to use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly on her skin before putting on her foundation and her skin and makeup always looked amazing.

[@Alloy-p3u]

IDK, she no dark circles at all, if anything she has white circles, why does she need a concealer in the first place? And she has no lines wrinkles whatsoever. So it doesn’t mean much 🤷‍♀️

[@robinjohnston376]

I have tried something similar, different lip balm, as I have dry skin. As it turns out I have too many creases for this application. It just made everything settle in the wrinkles.

[@alixlola2167]

I use Aquaphor as a moisturizer for my dry sensitive skin. I use the tube and squeeze out a pea-size amount. It also provides the glow that's so popular these days! I'll have to try it under my eyes!

[@kimluerssen]

I always start my under eye routine with the stick version of Palmers coconut balm. Works great!

[@sheilasamuels1066]

Thank you for the tip. Aquaphor is good for dry sensitive skin so it's worth a try for duy under eyes.

[@rikkirobinson4429]

I have been using the cerave ointment for about 2 years for primer and it has literally made all the difference. Just don’t use too much and give it time to absorb before putting on foundation. It was a game changer.

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

Risa - this looks like a really cool hack, I need to try it. But, I am EXACTLY one year older than you and I use a tiny amount of Revolution Line Fix Under Eye Primer Rehab. I really think you should try it. It keeps my under eyes from creasing. The trick is to pick up a little amount and warm it between your fingers and then apply it to your under eyes.

[@marshaq3960]

I had never used Aquaphor before my tattoo artist here in Vegas recommended it for protecting new tattoos. Since then, I’ve used it for heels, elbows, tattoos, etc. This lip balm hack is a game changer!! I’m a massage therapist, and today, I worked, had a spicy lunch AND laid out in the sun for a while. Under eye makeup never gave way, no creases, no sliding off!! Thank you!!!! (Btw- I’m 52 with combination skin 😊)

[@QuantumHealer]

WOW Risa! I have been a sub for a few years; but took a year- ish off from beauty vids. YOUR SKIN LOOKS AMAZING! I see such a noticeable difference in the texture, smoothness, and even tone, especially in the cheeks to jaw area. Now I have to go back and see what you’re using, whatever you’re doing it’s working impressively! Happy Belated Birthday, Doll! ✨🎈

[@racheli2598]

You have the best under eye skin! Looks so good without concealer too. Whenever I put Vaseline under my eyes I get blurry vision from it. Hope I don’t get it if I try the aquaphor.

[@marshawilliams6741]

I have dry under eyes and have been using Jaclyn Hill’s oil primer under them with great results but now that’s over. I’m going to try this immediately!

[@cpartida33]

Hello, I did not use the Aquaphor but I’ve been using Castro oil under my eyes for the longest. I remember because I have very dry and her eyes and I have lines I’m 48 going to 49 and the Castro I’ll do amazing job making Your and my under eyes look beautiful with concealer thank you Lisa for your time
