Hope this helps guys! You'll be seeing me using this technique in all my makeup looks going forward 🙌🏼❤
Have you tried the NXY bare serum concealer ?
I’m SO impressed, it’s damn good coverage …like hella good…. has a really thin texture, it wears amazing too!
It reminds me a lot of the Sephora gel concealer and a big like the bare minerals serum concealer but with much better coverage.
Thank you Alex! Really enjoyed the video... can you recommend more drugstore concealers to use for this technique?
EARRING INFO! Gorgeous! 😍Thank you😘
tissue proof makeup? like for your nose when you have allergies my nose makeup gets wiped right off
Can you do a video on your base in the video.? It looks so beautiful!
As someone who naturally has very dark circles and under-eye creasing, but who also likes minimal and natural-looking makeup, it's been pretty much impossible and very discouraging to find a solution that would check all the boxes. My current routine is pretty much based on your older videos, but I am over the moon happy you've posted this. Thank you!
1. Moisturize
2. Apply under eye primer (a tiny amount)
3. Give it a couple of minutes to set
4. Apply under eye color corrector with a brush (because of the precision).
*she applies a tiny amount on the hollow parts and where she has the most darkness.
*she doesn't apply it all the way up to her eye because of the fine lines
5. Apply concealer with a brush
*patting with a brush in a downward motion
*use a really light hand
Thank you 😊 I was in a hurry
Thanks. One correction: She used the Milk Hydrogrip primer (a tiny amount) before the under eye primer which was a normal amount.
@@karaokelolawhy did she do that? What’s the benefit?
@@christinagrant3252i believe it just helps the makeup sit on her face better/prevents it from sinking too much into the creases!
Thanks!
This was an immense help Alex. I have been so discouraged about makeup lately bc of eye creasing. At 41 years old, I just can't do powders anymore! Thanks again!! Xoxo
I hope this works for you! I’ve been feeling the same way 😩🙌🏼
Same Haley! At 45, I can barely use any powder...I have dry skin and super hydrate under my eyes before applying anything...thanks so much Alex this is super encouraging! ❤️
Same!!
Same.
I am 30yrs old and my under eye area never had a chance with powders 😂😂
When I was 20 there were already creases so I always had to apply lightly. Good thing is a good eye cream (bobbi brown for example) and light coverage kinda saves you money. 😅
I'm 53 years old. My make up routine consisted of slapping on some cream, foundation, eye liner, mascara. Thanks to you Alex my face now looks amazingly younger without looking over done. I had no idea about primers, serums etc and now my skin base and face looks more dewy and youthful. Never too old to learn new habits regarding skin and make up...can't thankyou enough ❤
I love that you acknowledge both your changing makeup tastes and the change in undereye skin texture as you age. I'm 33 and that really speaks to me! Full coverage is no longer flattering on me, EVERYTHING creases under my eyes, and I'm honestly just more confident and comfortable with my natural face than I was in my 20's. This is the perfect way to give myself a slight enhancement for when I feel like it :)
these dark circles videos are life changing for me ! they used to be my biggest insecurity (always been thinking of getting injections for them and all) and discovering you and your work completely changed my mind, i actually enjoy seeing them on my face and wearing lighter makeup to the point that fully concealing them doesn't feel like my face anymore... thank you Alex
Thank you so much for helping those of us cursed with the dark under eyes. You're amazing!
Thank you thank you thank you! This is so "mature eye" friendly! I have dark circles and it seems no matter what I do, when I try to conceal them I end up adding years to my face by accentuating the crepeyness and wrinkles. Any powder, no matter how hydrating they claim to be, is the worst under my eyes!
I learn so much from your videos. I am getting married in October and don't have the budget for a make-up artist, so I am learning to do everything on my own. I can't thank you enough for everything your videos have taught me.
This is exactly how I have been doing for some time now. Seeing the expert do the same is so validating ! Deep set eyes have such thin skin around that even a little product on gives a heavy look.
Problem with most ultra light concealer formulas is that they are soo drying, making your eyes look twice as wrinkly!
That’s why I have settled on pixi peach corrector, it’s creamy, dries powdery, retains the shine. So forgiving !
When I have enough time, I use liquid concealer too but just along the edges of hollow to feather everything in.
In a face with deep set eyes, the depth feature is part of overall facial equilibrium, when the darkness is completely covered opaque, it takes away the distinctness. Something I realised quite late(hit 30 recently), the dark under eyes I was so conscious about, they just needed to be covered till the point they are not distracting, that’s all ! A better strategy is to highlight either the lips or the cheeks with a pop of colour, that totally balances the overall look.
Sorry for long post. Thought it might help someone.
Oh can u elaborate on ur review on the pixi corrector? I was looking to buy it but most of the reviews i read were saying that it's very dry and difficult to get out of the pot👉👈
I love pixi corrector concentrate too! If you go in light post eye cream and spf, it can be one and done for some skin tones.
Words cannot describe my absolute love for your work and strategies as an artist! I relate SO heavily to your critical thinking, science and method in how you apply makeup.
You're up there with Mary Greenwell, Lisa Eldridge and the rest of our legendary makeup artists. Because not only do you share your incredible skills, you encourage others to embrace themselves in their artistry and love of their own skin! ♥ (PS: If you're ever in London and pop by the Kryolan store, come say hello! 🥳)
always have my finger ready to press as soon as you upload 😩❤️
😭❤❤❤
Sameeee 😂
Amazing how many of those with more mature under eyes (51 here) are TOTALLY stoked with this no powder option, thanks for sharing the update!🙏🌺❤
😊
liking this before watching it cause I know you always come through with the tips
😩🙏🏼❤️
Lol same. I mostly love her for no intros.
Thumbnail: a delicate blending brush on the undereye? Like and play!!!! Do I need this info being a MUA for 25 years? No. Do I need to watch her in action? I do. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
The best concealer for mature eyes Loreal True Match, eye cream. Comes in cool and warm colors, I love this stuff! It's light coverage. I put just a touch on, let it sit a min. then pat with a small puff. I'm on stage and it lasts and looks great!
📝Thanks. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
Alexandra is like the older, makeup-wise sister I never had 😭😭😭 thank you QUEEN!!
I pretty much gave up on under eye makeup, concealer, and general base because all of the info online was for full coverage and I was struggling to do natural stuff on my own. You are quickly becoming my favorite makeup youtuber because you not only show the fun stuff but also the realistic day to day stuff
HEYYY great to see someone finally advocating the hallows technique cos i honestly never use concealer right underneath my waterlines, i think it ages people up and looks very unnatural :/// AND honestly color correcting is sO underrated.. i used to not be able to cover my undereyes with 3-4 layers and now i just use a little amount of peach toned corrector before my concealer and it looks literally perfect. Great video!! and it's reaally cool to see one of my inspirations with makeup using the same techniques as i do :')
ALSO ABOUT THE POWDER THING!! i think a little sheen on the undereyes look really healty and shows the fine lines a lot less
I've been obsessed with perfecting my under eye game lately. I'm mostly foundation free so I'm all about natural finishes vs the cakey high coverage paste look. Also I've really been loving letting dark circles peak through vs erasing them completely. After months of daily experimentation and continuous research, I've discovered some great techniques. Some techniques work better with certain concealers vs others. So it really is a matter of trial and error. However, all of the techniques that I've had great success with does involve powder. Which is fine for me...but I do like the dewy look Alex rocks and always wished I could achieve that with no creasing. The closest I got was to mix an illuminizer with concealer allowing the glowiness to peak through the setting powder. Alex's technique is different than the ones I've tried and I'm excited to have a new one to try! I'll definitely look into the milk primers to try this technique. I have the original becca corrector in my arsenal already, and I've been suuuuuuuper curious about sephora's gel concealer thanks to Alex. I've been really enjoying NYX's bare with me at the moment. Thanks Alex for mentioning what brush you use, I was dying to know! I find that using a brush is crucial for me to avoid over applying concealer (I no longer dot directly on face, regardless of what technique I'm using that day) and I also always wipe the brush off on a paper towel in between layers. Makes a WORLD of a difference. Brush used also changes things and I've experimented with several before settling on an old MAC 224 from my stash. I'm very curious about the sigma one Alex uses, I love the shape of it. Thank you so much for sharing this Alex! I can't wait to try it out!
When Alex mentioned serum concealers I was sure she was going to use the NYX haha
@@kbmakes haha! I had an inkling she was going to bust out the Sephora gel concealer. She spoke of it quite a bit lately and has been using it often. I really like the NYX one though! Bit of a learning curve for me as it is much thinner/hydrating than others I had...but once I figured it out...it's chef's kiss!
@@kbmakes also....LOVE your username lol
@@TwinkleToes66 hah thank you! Yours is great as well :) i think it might be Julia Adams that's been talking about the NYX
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 love so much
This look is really nice! I really appreciate how you've gone less and less heavy with the concealer. You've always looked lovely, but it's fun to see how you've embraced your natural beauty more (while also bettering your skin). Continuing with this more natural look, I'd love it if you could do a video or two on tinted moisturizers/sunscreens with your comments/reviews. (I personally struggle to find ANYTHING that doesnt pill!)
Hi, I just came across your videos. Thank you for the helpful tips as well as showing how to apply. I'm 62 years old and have been battling dark circles for a long time. I noticed when I use primer the concealer does have better coverage. I look forward to viewing your newer videos. You are doing an excellent job by simply being you which is why you are my go-to woman in the RUclips makeup world.
I swear RUclips was listening to my conversation 5 minutes ago. This is exactly what I need. Just found your channel and honestly, I have never been a makeup tutorial girl, but I really adore your channel. Something about the closeness of your face and natural look, even in your more "glam" videos, is just perfection!
I'm constantly battling my under eye circles and love all of your tips/tricks. Thank you for sharing.
So glad that i found your channel❤️ I’ve been trying to accept my dark circles and blue veins since like 15 yo. Your videos make me feel more confident about my appearance. Sometimes i even go out without any concealer under my eyes, and that’s a big change✨
I absolutely want to see more light coverage stuff!!! I love a very minimal but pretty polished look.
Im happy because what i have been doing for concealing is exactly what you are telling us now, it’s like being approved 😆
I love that you're more into light coverage now! Your skin looks amazing 🔥
We need a tutorial on this whole look!!! You look stunning 🤍
How Lisa Eldridge of you! The light layers and balancing of formulas is harder to do than it looks. Very instructive video.
I'm 48 and this is going to be so usefull to me, thanks
You look so stunning! 🔥🔥🔥
I've realized recently that natural eye "discoloration" can actually look really pretty and sexy. What bothers me is not the bit of darkness I have, but how my undereyes are a bit sunken in. It looks a little crypt-keepery rather than sexy and edgy. But I don't want to risk the side effects of under eye filler.
Thank you for this tutorial. I followed these tips and l feel like for the first time ever my under eye area actually looked naturally flawless rather than blank,flat and overexposed.
I just wanna say that I’ve been watch your under eye concealer journey for a few years now and you never miss, you’ve put me on to more hydration in my skin care routine and I’m obsessed! THANK YOU ALEX!!
Very nice and sheer - it covers the pigmentation but still looks like skin. I use the same/similar technique (just with my current concealer and primer) - I've got very thin, translucent skin under my eyes, so I deal with purple discoloration and fine lines, and have to keep sheer coverage on that inner triangle-shaped half only, and not cake on powder.
Nicely done video showing exactly how less is more!
Beautiful demonstration!!!! ♥️ i am 55 and have never worn make up, heee heee but i am seeing dark circles.... not happy...i have tried everything and i am making myself look like a clown!! Hopefully I can follow your demo! Thanks so much!❤
please never top making content the way you do, probably the only youtuber that i watch diligently and i watch all your uploads
I've also always had dark circles under my eyes. When I'm not wearing make up I look like I got no sleep at all. When I do want to do a really light base I always have to apply concealer as well because there is such a stark difference in my skin and my under eyes. Your videos have really helped me feel so much more secure and comfortable in my natural skin and I don't feel like I need to cover them up all the time.
This is brilliant! I have maturing skin with fine lines and very dark circles, and it seems like no matter how light of a hand I use I still get creasing under my eyes. I’ve been really enjoying the LYS concealer as it is very lightweight and dewy.
I've been doing a similar technique recently and honestly it's so good. It doesn't look heavy but covers what it needs to cover. Just so good!
i was thinking about this exact thing this morning!! love you alex you have a video for basically all of my biggest makeup questions
At 32 I definitely cannot get away with the amount of coverage I used to without it looking gross and cakey. This is so helpful.
Never had dark circles until new job started messing with my sleep schedule 😃 waking up at 6 am sometimes even 4 isn't fun
Ugh that’s early is the worst 😩
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH AAHHH this tutorial WORKS !! i have dark circles that are so much darker than the rest of my skin and i really like light coverage. but for YEARS my makeup has looked gray under my eyes, and when i used color corrector it would blend in with the concealer and mess up the whole look. when i tried to use just concealer i would have to keep adding more because the gray would show through and it looked way too heavy compared to the rest of my face. plus i have a lot of undereye wrinkles so it was a whole mess. but this tutorial taught me that less is more and i tried it today and IVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, the makeup looks seamless and there is no grayness!! plus its so light coverage i feel like im wearing nothing !!! thank you soo much you literally gave me my confidence back
Just tried this with similar products. Wow. I usually hate tacky primers but the hydro grip was so nice underneath the eyes. Instant improvement! Thank you Alex ❤
I just watched your original dark circles video and was kind of discouraged because I have sensory sensitivities and can't stand the feeling of full makeup coverage. I'm so glad I found this video after because it perfectly suits my preference for having that balanced skincare/makeup feel. Thank you so much!! This is so helpful, just... a lifesaver.
Thank you, yes more light coverage please 🤍🤍🙏🏼
I’ve seen a few of your videos & appreciate how much you zooooom in! Subscribed ✅
just when i considered going under eye concealer free, this vid pops up in my subscription box… perfect timing, thank you for the tips!!!
WHEW, so glad I finally found someone who explained a better technique instead of just recommending a product and slapping it straight under the eyes. I feel like mine either come out too shiny without powder, or too cakey with it, so I’m def going to have to try this!
As I watch some beauty channels, they almost always say its all about technique and not the product
LOVE this technique. I have deep set eyes + fine lines on my lower lids so this is basically my only option for under-eye concealer otherwise it just doesn't work. Seeing up close how you place the color corrector was super helpful. Just wondering what you think about using a product like the YSL Touche Éclat Concealer Pen - would you recommend or not?And if yes, any tips would be awesome!
I have deep set eyes and use YSL Touche Éclat pen in the shade medium. It’s a bit pricey but worth it imo. it’s the only product that really brightens up my under eye and corrects pigmentation all while looking completely natural. I combine with the YSL primer and it’s a dream 🥰
Yes! This is the technique I have been dying for. You’re the only person doing this on RUclips. I have been putting less and less concealer under my eyes and I’m like this looks way better than before. Thank you for confirming what I was doing. You look beautiful ♥️🇨🇦
I wanna see more like coverage stuff like this.
This helped me so much in my every day makeup routine. I stalk your youtube channel cause you're actually the only one that gives useful help
You are so beautiful and proof that you can have stunning skin even with dark circles! I am indian and around a light- medium complexion and my major skin concern are dark circles! Pretty good skin( no acne, smooth etc).However I am so paranoid about my dark circles if I dnt wear concealer but when I see others who have it, its looks so normal. I guess it's the 'you look tired' comment I have got ( when I am without concealer) that's made me so self conscious over the years! Loved this video!
Dude I feel the same. We’re always so much harsher in ourselves, personally I’ve always loved they way they look on Indian people 😍
@@AlexandraAnele thank you for replying! You're so kind!! Thank you for the tips- to overcome feeling conscious I have started lightly correcting and use a brightener ( to remove the peachiness) and set with a loose dusting of powder- it just takes the edge of the darkness but doesn't cover completely! Slowly reducing the coverage so i can just embrace them! thank you for this helpful video 🙂
Ok...i hope this isn't a stupid question, but...why do you use peach-toned color corrector? Your undereye/inner corner coloring seems to be red, not blue or purple. I would think a green color corrector would work better to neutralize the colors that are present for you. Am i missing something?
Thank you so much for this Alex! My dark circles make me look and feel tired, but covering them looks worse 😬 This was so helpful!!
Lovingggg those strategies!!! I will follow you until my last breaaaattth
Also where did you buy your earrings ? The jade stone is a good match with your skin tone your hair and the beautiful shape of your soul
Thanks a lot for this video Alex, I’m living for this kind of content, less is more! Always loved playing with makeup, but the trends these past 10 years have been getting me confused about all the different products one needs to put on their face to achieve a decent result. As several other people commented, aging + powder can get difficult to work with. So grateful for your work! Also you have incredible skin and features! ❤️
Your eyebrows are perfection!
please make one about concealing blemishes/spots with light coverage
Yes! As I'm getting older my natural lines have been getting worse with any concealer. Also my sleep schedule has been shit recently so more color correcting has made everything cake up
This is what I needed, thanks
Keep up the dark circle video instructions.......MUCH appreciated and so challenging with SO many products out there.......your expertise with TECHNIQUE is what we need! Thanks.
I have mature under eye skin, so powder there just isn't part of my game. I really loved the close up here, and your advice is always so useful even though our skin type is different. This looks so natural, and I love it!
This is the BEST video on under eye concealer!
Omg u just made realise the reason soo many of the hyped up concealer dont work for me! It’s bcos of my creasy undereye! So now I’m sticking to Fenty Beauty undereye brightener and newly discovered NYX bare with me concealer. That’s so helpful. Appreciate it!
I recently found out about this method, and omg, it’s life changing! My extremely textured undereyes don’t look gross anymore!
Omg this is such a gorgeous finish! I know every other comment I'm like "well I look like a drag queen half the time..." but sometimes in summer I like to go hiking and I'll do just Concealer so I don't look like I've been up all night for the inevitable "we made it to the top!" Selfie. This is such a good thing to have in my back pocket for such an occasion 👀
Subtle and beautiful. Much better than powder when wanting a lighter more natural look. You are brilliant!
I didnt think about using different shades of concealer. I end up with my under eye looking super bright and unnatural. Ill try this instead. Amazing guide, thank you.
As a thirty two year old toddler mom 🙌 extremely helpful I'm so grateful!!
Early 30s mom club 🙌🏻 yes ma’am.
mannn those earrings matching your eyes GORGEOUS
You have had the best explanation about how to use corrector and concealer in the most efficient manner. I have used the hydrogrip under eye primer but wasn't hydrating my under eye area enough as you suggested. Thank you for the tips.
THIS is a f**king game changer for me!! I have very dark undereyes, I only wear concealer, no foundation. And it always got cakey.... This video helped me sooooooo much! Thank you!!!!
Beautifully balanced! Love your detailed and honest videos.
Thanks a lot. That was so helpful. Just when I thought I’m just too untalented to do it, ur video just popped up.
And weirdly … ur voice was very calming. Thanks for that as well 😅
I love those earrings and this topic!!
Thank you for more dark under eye videos. Love them. I'm lacking even more sleep these days. 😂
wth that looks so natural! What a great technique
Your skin is soooooo beautiful, so glowy. Such a gorgeous woman. Great job, I love how you apply make up so natural. ❤
This is so simple and brilliant. Plus, using the brush is much more gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes.
You are the bestttt. Hope you notice me. You've been an inspiration. Fan from the PH.
what an incredibly pretty person. 🥺
could you do a silicone free makeup tut? i have oily skin and can never find anything that doesn’t slip
i myself experience an unnecessary degree of under-eye dark circles.. genetics!! the product i use every day is like skincare, super low coverage and light but really takes the edge of the darkness enough for me to feel human and that is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Highlighter in shade 1! i am super fair skinned and age 34.. just make sure you opt for the highlighter and not the full coverage option ( unless that is what you’re looking for ) i don’t leave the house without this product!!! 💕
Your camera quality is by far the best on RUclips
This is amazing tutorial, thanks! I hate when foundation and concealer are way too obvious and visible on the skin, gives me more insecurity than going bare face.
Hi Alex, thanks for this. If you have changed products or techniques since you made this please could you make an updated version so i can invest in the best products xx
Finally🎉
I find the right method for me, cause I have super dry skin, especially under eyes and just can’t use any powder.
I’ve looked at the Becca under eye stuff so many times, now I’ll get it haha thanks for a great video!
Love your videos!! I've had aging crepey skin under my eyes for a while... so up until this point, your tutorials for concealing under eyes looked great on you but I couldn't match it on myself. You look LOVELY in this one. The tip about no powder and doing concealer last to minimize is super helpful to me, and I'll now be seeking out a color corrector in addition to my light moisturizing concealer.
Thank you for these tips. I have a bit of a dry undereye even though I'm more on the combination-oily skin type, I'm going to try milk's undereye primer 👁️
This is so helpful! I’m old and wrinkled so a flawless finish is delusional. This type of technique makes a lot of sense.
I was skeptical, but boy you delivered. This is exactly the help I needed
I absolutely love your eye pigmentation, if I looked like that I wouldn’t even want to cover it up, but I get so lucky and get those bruise colored dark circles 😭
I love your earrings!! Such a good color on you 😍
Wow. This has been great. The finish really works well with your skin tone. I will be trying this and lucky for me, I have the same products as you except for the concealer :) Thanks for sharing!
I live for this. People need to learn the correct way to not pile on makeup and get a beautiful natural look. Have you tried a more green under eye for correction? Just asking because on camera, your under eyes look very red/maroon and green would help cancel. But obviously you are a pro and they are probably more purple then it looks. The orange kind of made a ring around your eye that to me I can notice on camera but again you are a makeup genius and it’s probably flawless in person! Would love to hear your thoughts. Keep it up we love the content! Much respect!
You have no creases. You’re stunning. Thank you for this video. Hopefully after using this technique people will stop asking me if I was punched in the face
Woah! I didn't know you had already done your foundation until you said you had because it looked so natural! Love it!
