The Tarte gets ‘cakey’ on my under eyes. Will need to try the Hourglass - looks great 🥰

[@NinaUbhi1]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Trying different products is always a good idea to find what works best for you.

[@Joycemarsh-sw9xj]

Thank you for the reviews, I'm going to try one or two!

[@NinaUbhi1]

That's awesome to hear! Let me know which ones you end up trying and how they work out for you!

[@gerigray64]

Love Nars, will try Hourglass, but I find the Two Faced Born this Way, a bit cakey. My daughter finds the same with the Foundation. I thought it was just my more " mature " skin, ie wrinkles 😂. My current Favourite is the Clinique one. I've seen other MUA use it, and it's fabulous.

[@sydneylandreneau9566]

I will watch this again. I am curious which one did not show creases in wrinkles.

[@alexandraklaus9060]

I like the nars and the tarte shape (the creamy one). They are both great for more mature skin.

[@NinaUbhi1]

That's awesome! I'm glad you found products that work well for your skin.

[@marystankiewicz2523]

Thank you for the comparisons. Working on my and WOW! So much better when taking my time using your techniques ( correctly that is ). I tried tarts shape tape again and oh my gosh it’s a true game changer. Love Doll10 face tinted primer to help cover rosacea post laser treatments. Not sure I’ll need it after healed. Enough chat, thank you so so so much❤

[@NinaUbhi1]

I'm thrilled to hear that the techniques are working well for you! Keep up the great work.

[@catherinecastle9376]

I have very crepey under eye skin and have MAJOR issues with concealers and powder to set. Always seems to make it look worse.😢

[@ginagerwig1801]

Try Tarte Creaseless Concealer you'll love it!

[@catherinecastle9376]

@@ginagerwig1801 tried it.doesn’t work, looks super Casey even if I use a tiny amount. Thanks

[@patibarrera2874]

My under eye skin is not real crepey, but not matter what I use it looks crepey

[@JuliesNeeds]

I have the same issue my under eyes is super dry so I try to mousturize very well and use very little concealer and I don’t even use powder otherwise it just looks dry and cakey. Some days it works but sometimes it doesn’t but you can’t really see it from a normal distance I can only see it in my magnifying mirror

[@aj__love5919]

If you can get Natasha denona then great! Because their color correcting is so good you don’t need concealer for it. Also Huda beauty is very great as well! Concealers crease a little but don’t worry this one barely does😊

[@daljitsangar]

Thanks Nina really useful. Have invested in tarte shape - creamy concealer- which I find is a bit heavy and can create a mask effect under eyes so i use very sparingly or pick it up with sponge on back of hand and apply that way rather than directly as you have previously shown. xxx

[@NinaUbhi1]

I'm glad you found the tips helpful! Experimenting with application techniques is key to finding what works best for you.

[@angelaf7129]

Nina such a helpful video 😍❤ How do you fix a concealer that's a bit too light?

[@NinaUbhi1]

Use a little (warmer) light coverage foundation with a sponge on top.. it’s light coverage so won’t cake it up 🫶🏽

My cousin recently got the Doll10 concealer and she really loves it. I’ll have to try it

Hello Nina, I have already worn the Nars and Too Faced concealer which I really liked, good coverage and hold. Currently I'm using the Lancome le complexion idole ultra wear concealer which suits me well. Thanks for this tutorial❤❤❤

Love this video!! Been waiting for this. Like the side by side comparison. Shocked about the Charlotte Tilbury one. Have you ever tried the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer? I just recently got it after long time of trying to find my shade. Would like to know your feedback on this concealer. Sending hugs to you, Nina.

Thank you for this video, it’s really helpful even though I can’t apply the amount of concealer you’re using. It’s too much for me. I just apply very little mainly in my inner corner where I have dark circles and avoid powder as much as possible otherwise it looks cakey. But I’m going to try the Make up by Mario. My favorite is Natasha Denona

[@NinaUbhi1]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for this amazing video Nina❤ I always suffer with under eye dryness and fine lines, I try the tart shape tape concealer its so good, also dior concealer, dior is drying my under eyes more , i am definitely gonna try doll concealer if its available here in Dubai . You are awesome 👏🏻 😊

So glad you found the perfect concealer! It's always great to discover a product that works well for you.

[@jazcc]

This was a great vid. I have to say that Tarte and the Maybelline have been the best for me. I have tried KVD concealer I actually have it now. It’s not bad at all but I have really seen one that has beat Tarte yet

[@mariyamhaque3432]

nina please tell us about correctors? do we need to use them? for medium skin tone with dark circles like yours?

Have you tried the Natasha Denona high glam and Haus labs tri clone concealers?

[@aj__love5919]

I love the Natasha denona one!!! Best corrector because I don’t even need the concealer that’s how good it is😍

[@NinaUbhi1]

No I haven’t tried it!

[@elegant6868]

I never know what color corrector shade to choose and have a drawer full. My skin is pale, neutral, Teint Idole 120n.

[@lindakoberna3465]

It would depend on how dark your circles are. Mine aren't overly dark so the peach didn't work for me. I use Huda in Cherry blossom.

[@ginagerwig1801]

I just recently bought Tarte Creaseless Concealer, it IS truly creaseless. There is no need to put powder or anything with it to add into the lines and look cakey. I have finally found the one!😀❤

[@NinaUbhi1]

That's awesome to hear! Finding the perfect concealer is like discovering hidden treasure in the makeup world.

[@simple_naildesigns]

Need to try it!

[@amegillam]

I like the tarte shape tape and nars. I actually use the Maybelline and I have trouble covering my dark circles due to not enough shades. So I believe I will be making a new purchase for concealer

[@NinaUbhi1]

Trying out new concealers can be fun! Good luck finding the perfect match for your skin - never an easy task but once you got it, makes life so much easier!

Ive not tried any of these, from NARS just the soft matte in macadamia, but not the liquid one. My current faves are the Natasha Denona, Dior Forever, Pat mcGrath and ABH magic concealer for high coverage, but am always looking for something new to new. I am liking the sound of the Hourglass one the most.

[@NinaUbhi1]

It's always fun to try out new products and see what works best for you!

[@shangzewar6795]

Thanx for this video, very much needed. I have used Tarte after watching ur videos and I like it but I’m starting to feel it’s not the best for mature skin, 47 yrs. Also used CT and I have the same opinion, not enough coverage, however liked the texture of it. Make up by Mario would be next to try and I’ve liked it the most on you, btw, I have a similar skin tone as u so you are my benchmark when I buy online without trying, so far it worked and all purchases were successful. I’ve learnt so much from ur tutorial ❤❤❤❤ I have to say, plaster was the first thing I’ve noticed and thought what type of rice was that??? 🤔 😁

[@NinaUbhi1]

😂 always be weary of rice!

I did NOT like KVD. That's for sure. But...the Laura Mercier actually DID look really brightening and really good on you. I will try it. Also Tarte Tape is really good. Not a fan of Charlotte Tillsbury. Will try NARS. Haven't tried it yet. Not a fan of Maybelline. I also use THE BODY SHOP concealer. Holds up well.

[@lindakoberna3465]

Huda has amazing color correctors. Usually the gray cast means your concealer is too light. I used to have the same problem because alot of KZbinrs say you should go 2 shades lighter than your skin tone. Your concealer should actually match your skin tone. You can set it with a pink powder to brighten a bit.

[@christinerios57]

I have Dry skin, which ones are for dry skin? I'm leaning towards Nars or Born this way.

[@NinaUbhi1]

NARS is good

Tower 28 is really good.

[@vicky4u21]

Can someone give me some insight on darker dark circles, I always have to use an orange color corrector. Any thoughts ?

[@daljitsangar]

yes I use orange colour corrector ( very lightly) under the eyes and a bit on eyelids before concealer. Nina recommended lightly dusting powder over the colour corrector first before applying concealer to stop the colour corrector moving around in one of her prev videos. I use the tarte shape concealer on top...

[@anniecortes585]

I always use a corrector and have a few.i repurchased the tarte creamy and didn't like it the second time around, and I returned. I tested the MBM and Haus. Ended up with the latter. I don't have to use powder with this one, and it separates the least. I get samples in store or put two different ones in the store and leave them on to see which ends up looking better. That's how i have been able to test many and others i purchase. The HUda one as much as it is loved, it settles in really fast and obvious. My main issue is the separation of concealers created by the lines. I lean towards vegan or cruelty free ones as well. I have the iris and romeo in my cart for the sale. Unfortunately, I have not tested the ND since I can't find it in the store, and there are mixed reviews. Jist one, I have not jumped to try.
