As someone with a full set of luggage under her eyes and really dark eyes anyway, you're a lifesaver!!! Cannot wait to try this tips out tomorrow when I apply my makeup!
I really like your style of explanation and your practice tips- I grew up in a household of bothers and never learned how to apply skin care or makeup correctly- as I have aged- and have more time- I have learned from your videos and improved my appearance 100 fold- my friends keep asking what is different and I direct them to your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your considerable knowledge w us beginners!
Hi Elle, I am 70 years and I have really dark eye with really big puffies... I'm glad you covered this. I need to go and get my colors so I can purchase one or more of these..
Wow! I’m 51 and a beauty JUNKIE! You have taught me so much about how I should be applying my makeup NOW as opposed to my younger days. You are phenomenal, an excellent teacher and so classy and gorgeous 🤗 A million times thank you! 😘
By far, this is one of the clearest explanations I've ever seen!!! Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge!!! Greetings from Argentina!! 😘😘😘😘
EXCELLENT video Elle. Can you do a video on how to minimize/conceal hollow undereyes. A LOT of us over 45ish women now have THAT issue. Thanks ever so much for all you help.
Thank you! I almost didn’t watch this, only bc I deal with very dark circles, and raccoon style at that!! So I do look for women doing make up tutorials with truly dark circles. I did like the less is more idea! And I like your tips - but I BET that you would turn heads WITHOUT your make up on, the way you were in the beginning. I did notice after the Bobby Brown primer, your skin did have a nice radiance as you said, but that’s it! You lOOK BEAUTIFUL JUST like THAT! Again, I think if you were seen out and about exactly like that, you would turn heads MORE than what you looked like at the end of this video. And that, my dear, is a major compliment! Thank you again! 💖🌟👏👏👏
Elle - great video! Have a bag on the side I sleep on and I'm trying to sleep on my back but it's easier said than done. I am nearly 60 so it may be too late but thanks to you and my skin regimen this past year, I can use concealer again! Thank you for all your help! My ride or die is (other than Retin A) is Bye Bye Undereye and it feels amazing and really helped my fine lines under my eyes. No one can tell me that an eye cream is useless because it has allowed the surface to accept concealer which was a source of great stress for me. Thank you love!! ❣️❣️
Me too! 💛Sitting in the truck at the gym and won’t go in until I finish this video because I had no idea what color corrector is and have been dealing with purple and blue circles for my whole life and I’m 38 for goodness sakes!! “Bring the light back to where there is darkness” I love the make up advice and also reminds me of the last sermon at church 🙂 Thanks Elle 🌺
Hi Elle, I've been researching this subject as I make organic skin care products. Instead of just covering the problem, their are solutions to completely get rid of dark circles and or puffy eyes. For dark circles purchase a facial clay made of Bentonite clays. They come in several different types such as Rhassoul clay or French Green clay but they are all Bentonite clays. These clays are electrically charged and should be mixed with distilled water and never mix them with metal as you loose the electrical charge. Make a mud mask and place it in the areas you'd like to lighten for 20 minutes. Rinse and apply organic coffee oil consisting of either olive oil or jojoba oil. If it's just puffiness your dealing with then just the coffee oil will do it. These coffee oils are made of raw non-roasted coffee and are very effective in tightening the skin. If there is anyone here who would like to know more about what is causing the darkness, let me know.
Amber C Thank you for inquiring Amber! I'm still in the testing faze and trying to decide on a product line. But once I have it together I would love to send it to Elle to try it out and show that great skin care can be done organically and sustainabley! Keep watching 💕
Hi Dear Elle! I feel like I just went to a graduate school makeup class!! You really know how to answer so many questions that women have! I also love the natural & fresh, less is more approach. Very, very helpful & practical for any woman. Looks just gorgeous, and enhances your natural beauty! Agree totally about not trying to look like a plastic doll with tons of makeup that’s trending a lot right now. You show us how to cover up the flaws perfectly, while making the makeup work for us!! The result is just so beautiful 😍! Much love to you sweet sister! Happy Holidays to every one!!
I've played with so many yellow toned correction products, concealers, powders.. I finally figured out that pink works best for me! I get much better results if I skip the yellow tones.
Elle, I am so happy that I came across this video tutorial of your. I have been ill and have heavy dark circles under my eyes so, this will help me deal with the issue. Thank you so very much. May God bless you in many ways, Elle.
Elle, sorry so lengthy but I felt compelled to share. Since I've been watching your videos, I've learned a lot about my skin, how to care for it and combat certain issues that I wish I could correct but only non invasively. I am older than you are but you provide information in a way that translates to me and my circumstance. We all have our calling in life and you have found yours so, thank you for that. I too have bags and have tried this technique in the past but, due to extreme crepiness under my eyes, struggled with getting it right. I feel like I try it again now. After trying so many eye creams and fighting milia, I finally broke down and purchased the Bobby Brown Extra Eye Repair and used it literally every night since the beginning of January. It's pricey ($85) but, I still have more than half the jar and It has helped quite a bit. I did still have some stubborn crepiness in the lower inner corners though. In June, I purchased a 4 piece set of Tatcha on QVC because I couldn't pass up the price ($135) for bundle that included all full sizes of The essence, Rice polish, Ageless enriching renewal cream and Ageless renewal eye cream. Both Ageless products sat untouched until late August as I used up the last of my Tatcha water cream and IT bye bye under eye cream that I use in the mornings. The Ageless products have blown me away. The face cream is my new favorite and I don't see myself going back to their water cream BUT! the Ageless eye cream? Even more AMAZING!!! I saw an immediate improvement after one application and, after only using it for a couple of weeks, my under eye crepiness is almost completely gone. I work in an office where I see the same clients every few weeks and I have been complimented on my skin and asked what I have done. What? It's not just in my head or wishful thinking? That sealed it. For me, definitely worth the $$$. Keep in mind, I don't write reviews, I'm not normally product loyal and I especially don't comment on you RUclips :) I have appreciated honest feedback from you and your viewers in my quest to find what will work for me and just wanted to finally give back a little myself. Blessings, Kathy in AZ
Hi Kathy my name is Kelly, I am so grateful that you shared your experience. I am so happy for you! It always feels good when someone compliments us, but I am like you sometimes I feel like I'm just imagining something. I was really touched by your share. Keep an eye out on QVC for the products that you loved because they often have easy pay specials and different price breaks when the holidays come up. Lots of love xoxo
AzKat just to make sure I understood you correctly, the Bobby Brown was good but you had the best results using the 2 Tatcha creams? Thank you for sharing!
@@kaseyholm228 Yes, over time, the Bobby Brown was very good and worth the money I spent. For me, the Tatcha eye cream just gave significantly quicker results. Anyway, this is how it worked for me and I was amazed.
Oh my gosh, thank you! While overall I've been blessed with good skin, I've always been self conscious about my under eye bags/circles. This was so helpful.
I have inherited dark purplish blue circles, and I have a deep tear trough...double whammy! For my fair/light mature thin skin, I’m loving the Tarte CC color corrector in the lighter shade. Only takes a little tapped in with ring finger and really works. So much so that I’ve forgotten to follow up with concealer (it’s rare, but has happened!). Thanks as always for such a detailed video.
Thank you so much for wearing the headband. I see so many RUclipsrs leaving their hair down and you can’t see if it’s clothing you can’t see the top of the clothes or if it’s make up they don’t go underneath like especially if they have bangs or something. So anyway, thank you. Kathy from Alabama
Hello! First of all, im sorry for my english. Im from Slovenia/Europe. I found your videos today and I must say, that are you my favorite you tuber for make-up! You are so lovely and really smart, because you have such fantastic tips&tricks! Thank you very much!!! Big hug from Slovenia, Jessy ❤❤❤
Extremely informative!!! Thank you for addressing these issues. I have had both my entire life and they have only gotten worse in my 62 years! Can’t wait to try! 👍🏻❤️
I have what I call very hooded eyes and used to use just one medium shade of color,make it a little darker in crease and softer on lid and upper part of my eye. You've taught me to layer colors and I play around with make up now to break the boredom. I'm disabled due to a back injury and can no longer work. I am having so much fun learning new techniques from you and about different skin care ( I was veey slack about it in my younger days) Ive started morning and night skin care and the difference is AMAZING. Again thank you for what you do and kiss that sweet little girl of yours for me. You are truly a beautiful person!
This was helpful. Im going to try it today. Im 35 and I have super dry undereyes so everything tends to look cakey. Your right eye when u applied the illuminator just to the bag looked amazing and it didnt get all in the wrinkles under the lash line which is where most of mine are. Thanks again!
I am so glad I found your channel. This is the most helpful video I have found to deal with my under eye "luggage " as I call it because it just crept up on me! I never really dealt with dark circles but at 44 i woke up to this conditon😛 Thank you!
Thank you Sweets for helping me/us! I have horrible hereditary circles and I have to deal with them. ☹️ This videos was of great help!! GRATEFUL ❤️Maddy
Oh Elle, you really made me emotional this time. How you use your personal skill is fantastic,. This masterclass was made for so many of us with this common problem. Thank you, and please promise me that you will never put your light beneath the cap. I really had tears in my eyes, so blessed are you that you move me and others with joy. Hugs 💓💓💓
Little is more. Will be trying this, ty... yes, I have notes everywhere!!! Lol. Idea. Break the notebook down to face,eyes,brows,cheek and lips. With extra pages for the neck and hair products. Just saying. Hugs..
As always love your technical information but what I love even more is that you talk about using make-up to make the most of who you are & try to not over do it. You talk about 'real life here'. Love you Elle 💕💕
Thanks Elle! Tried the long version under one eye, then tried Mabelline age rewind neutralizer and then age rewind illuminator on the other. Mabelline won, Bags Down!!! Also, my favorite setting powder is e.l.f.sheer translucent loose powder. It is the ONLY one from top powders that doesn’t make me look crepey under my eyes. I am 56 with normal to dry skin. I also have been using, per your recommendation, the It cosmetics Bye Bye under eye cream and it is now my go to twice a day. Does not give me the white bumps so many creams and oils do. Thanks for all you do for us here! Kathy
I deal with the same allergies all the time it makes my eyes drive my crazy. My Ziip helps. Yeah it was expensive but worth it. I have dior concealer but I'm going to get the new lancome in years when. I use it up. RMS is great too. Eye masks are my friends. Vitamin c
I have just tried out your techniques and that really work for me. Fabulous I have large pores around my nose. Can you please make a video for large pores as well Many thanks
Thanks Elle, I definitely needed this tutorial. It wasn't confusing at all, but like you said, I'll definitely need to watch again, WHILE I'm actually doing the application. Great technique tips! Thanks again!
Another awesome video Elle! So timely with the allergy season upon us. Great detail. Your eyelashes look so great. Mascara, false lashes, extensions? They look perfect.
Awesome! I've heard this before about brightening the shadow beneath the bag, but never so much good supporting info about products and color correcting. You're so generous with your knowledge and expertise! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Elle! It was so helpful. I love the idea of having “Elle notes”!!! I currently have a small notebook with all that notes I take from your videos!
Really enjoyed this!! I am about to turn 49 and haven't been wearing makeup for many years because of menopause and all the sweating that comes with hot flashes. So, i feel that im relearning how to best correct my dark circles and wrinkles without so much makeup. I've never been one to use a lot of makeup so this is a challenge for me. I am Puerto Rican so my skin is more tan, but you really made me realize that as long as i find the right products for my skin the technique is the same. Lol, im just not used to seeing makeup on my skin. I like a very natural look in a short amount of time. Thank you and will continue to watch you and learn more from you!! Nydia
I'm so glad I found you thank you so much I have glocoma my eye drops for the glocoma makes darkness under the eyes & it don't go away. I look like I have black eyes everyday so I'm goingvto try what I heard you say I watched this video closely again thank you I will be watching more of your beauty tips. Enjoy you so much.
Elle I liked you before but now i really like you. You've shared a gem of a makeup technique and I'm sure you've just made a lot of women very very happy. I use a lipstick brush and nars matte concealer. One swipe in the hollow. Let it sit. Tap it in. Magic!! 😃😂
I recently bought a Merle Norman concealer corrector, it works really well for me. I was told after applying to let it sit for a bit, just as you instructed in this video, that was a big help to me for getting coverage.
Loved that video, have watched a couple of times and will probably watch again once I buy some products to try, thanks for the great information and recommendations on products to have a go with.
I am definitely going to try this, money is an issue but I can get one at a time if need be till I have everything I need , then go to town trying this technique. Thank you once again for a great video.
Thanks for this in-depth how to vid on this very common issue for all who suffer with discoloration which I do as well. When I began playing with color correcting not just my undereyes but all my spread out facial melasma I did realize I wasn't used to seri g such a flawless face staring back in my mirror 😛 then after playing a few times with different undertone correctors it became easier to get used to. We can play with so many products in the market now that no matter what ur issue is there are plenty low and high end products to choose from as u pointed out. Just by watching your transformation as you went from zero & gave us your appkication process had certainly given me other options to try. Thanks again for your awesome content and that beautiful smile that always cheers us on to try new ways to improve our make up application techniques. Loved it.😘
Sorry for the long comment, but I have to say..this works! I've been doing this for yrs. I find using light layers & letting the concealer "set" a moment before blending is key. I have crepey undereyes & large hereditary bags. My skin tone is "light/med." with a neutral undertone. My dark under eye comes mostly from the shadow created by the bags (you can tell by pulling the eye bag skin taught & look at the discoloration once the area is smoothed). The key here is the highlighter! The light reflecting pigments really help minimize that shadow. I currently use the Maybelline instant age rewind concealers in "neutralizer" and "highlighter". The right pen highlighter is amazing too! I first lightly apply & blend the neutralizer under my eyes-only where I need it. Then, using a sm. precise concealer brush, I again lightly apply the neutralizer ONLY where the shadow/dark "line" is & blend by tapping with my finger. Using the same brush, apply the Highlighter concealer around the eye wherever you see a shadow. Blend and repeat in light layers if needed, until you are satisfied. I set with a tiny bit of powder. Sounds like a lot but it's invisible and natural looking if done correctly! Thanks for all your great videos Elle, you are awesome!
I thought this was such a great, informative, helpful video! I may have to rewatch it once but loved how you showed exactly where to put product, how you blend, etc. SO helpful;)
Thank you so much for this!!! The only step I am afraid of is the powder. I can never seem to get my undereyes to set without looking cakey...no matter which one I use and how little I use. This video will make the permanent playlist for sore! You have such a great way of explaining and showing the steps!❤❤❤
I have been there, done that with the red and orange lipstick/correctors and I am just not about that life! 😂 This is so much more practical and natural looking. The hardest part for me is not to accidentally highlight the bag since my first instinct is always just to go in with a ton of product all over. Being more strategic with placement might take a bit more time but I definitely see a difference.
I have puffiness/ bags under my eyes from water retention and allergies. Luckily I have no discoloration. A sure fire way for me to depuff that area is Dr Brandt No More Baggage. It works great - just sucks those bags up- and lasts all day. It has a peachy tint so it may help those with purple/ blue discoloration.
Thank you so much Elle❤ I have severe allergies, I am also allergic to mosquitoes, which we have an abundance of. That being said on some days my bags are packed for a week long trip. I use the Revlon concealer. Problem!!!!! I have been doing it all wrong. I tried your tips and tricks and was stunned by the difference. You are an Angel👼 luv from me to u❤
I love to hear I'm not the only one with an Elle notebook 😍😍 I also have a Elle Playlist which I'm now dividing into two; Elle Skincare & Elle Makeup. But I do have tons of notes from your videos as well as a shopping and Sephora sample list. I am now trying the Drunk Elephant Suvari baby facial mask which I'll follow with the Virgin Morula facial oil. I've learned soo much great advice from you, Elle 😍 😘 for which I'm very grateful ❤
Love love love this so much. I was right there with you Elle and working on "my canvas" as you were giving out the tips. It really does look like there's more makeup when those imperfections are hidden. But my skin feels better with less on. Thank you for mentioning that part!
Oh my gosh!!! I just received the notification for this video.. I'm SO excited to watch, I was one of us that asked for an all about under eyes! 😍😍 I'm currently at work, so have to wait to watch.. but I just had to hop on and say thanks Elle! Excited! ❤
I have learnt so much from you. I have watched so many tutorials but yours are the best! So a great big thank you for spending so much of your precious time on them!
Thanx so much Elle! I struggle with under eye circles & how to lessen them; it's tough when you"re super fair skinned as well. I can't wait to give this a try & experiment a little!!
This is a wonderful tutorial. I've been using this minimalist approach for just applying my foundation and face makeup in general. Now I know how to incorporate concealing my dark circles under my into that system. Cool. Love to learn new tricks.
It was AWESOME meeting you in Sephora! You are truly the sweetest on RUclips and in person ❤️❤️ I’ve told numerous people to subscribe to you! This is Jess that you met in Sephora inside jcp in Kalamazoo 💕 please visit again someday!
💐Thanks 🙏 so much for your insight and expertise and willingness to share these beautiful techniques with us! I don’t have an Elle’s Beauty Book either, but I guarantee I will be getting a tablet next trip to town. Fantastic idea for those of us that are not quite so talented, but who love 💕 learning about makeup and its application! I have both dark circles and under eye bags so is going to my favorite file. Have a wonderful week 💄💋❣️
Okay so I tired some your tips last night and my daughter said my makeup looked really good. The best it has. I think I'm officially obsessed with your channel. (I'm a newbie)
Your eyeshadow goes from lid to above crease and from inner eye to outer eye and. I have hooded eyes. I usually do a c shade and keeping the center above pupil light. Would you say this is something that I can do. Your so pretty and love how you do your eyes. I tried draping. Need a little practice, and thank you for replying to my comment. I do watch videos silent since my husband and I are watching tv. My ear pods are not charged. So enjoying each of your video especially the captions ones. Judy
Omg I love this video! Has to be the best I've watched bc this momma of 4 has luggage and a carry on under my eyes! Haven't slept in 10 years with babies so this video is saving me right now! I'm always scared bc I know less is more and color correcting used to intimidate me, not anymore. Thank you!
As someone with a full set of luggage under her eyes and really dark eyes anyway, you're a lifesaver!!! Cannot wait to try this tips out tomorrow when I apply my makeup!
😘😘😘😘😘😊
F-I-N-A-L-L-Y an excellent explanation of how to use corrector and concealer! Oh, thank you, Elle!
Going to work on my bags tomorrow, what a great informative video!!! At 63 I look forward to learning even more about how to enhance the flaws!
I really like your style of explanation and your practice tips- I grew up in a household of bothers and never learned how to apply skin care or makeup correctly- as I have aged- and have more time- I have learned from your videos and improved my appearance 100 fold- my friends keep asking what is different and I direct them to your videos.

Hi Elle, I am 70 years and I have really dark eye with really big puffies... I'm glad you covered this. I need to go and get my colors so I can purchase one or more of these..
This is my holy grail video! You explained how to look natural without caking on makeup! I love this and Thank you 😊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

If I didn’t watch you apply the makeup under your eyes & I only heard you I might be mixed up. You did a great job of making it not confusing. Thanks
You seriously read minds!!! This mommy has been so stressed with lack of sleep that on top of my melasma I now have dark circles and bags! Thank you!!
😍😍😍😍
EXCELLENT video Elle. Can you do a video on how to minimize/conceal hollow undereyes. A LOT of us over 45ish women now have THAT issue. Thanks ever so much for all you help.

This was helpful. Im going to try it today. Im 35 and I have super dry undereyes so everything tends to look cakey. Your right eye when u applied the illuminator just to the bag looked amazing and it didnt get all in the wrinkles under the lash line which is where most of mine are. Thanks again!
I am so glad I found your channel. This is the most helpful video I have found to deal with my under eye "luggage " as I call it because it just crept up on me! I never really dealt with dark circles but at 44 i woke up to this conditon😛 Thank you!
Thank you Sweets for helping me/us! I have horrible hereditary circles and I have to deal with them. ☹️ This videos was of great help!!
GRATEFUL
❤️Maddy
Love the idea of a “makeup class!” Thank you for your great content!
LOL xoxox
Oh Elle, you really made me emotional this time. How you use your personal skill is fantastic,. This masterclass was made for so many of us with this common problem. Thank you, and please promise me that you will never put your light beneath the cap. I really had tears in my eyes, so blessed are you that you move me and others with joy. Hugs 💓💓💓
awe thank you love!! I will like always keep being me xoxo
Little is more. Will be trying this, ty... yes, I have notes everywhere!!! Lol. Idea. Break the notebook down to face,eyes,brows,cheek and lips. With extra pages for the neck and hair products. Just saying. Hugs..
Best information yet for dealing with the bags and trough/circle issues. Thanks so much!!!
As always love your technical information but what I love even more is that you talk about using make-up to make the most of who you are & try to not over do it. You talk about 'real life here'. Love you Elle 💕💕
thank you Liz!
Thank you for all your precious tips! I will try on myself.
Thank you so much for this video! I wake up with under eye bags every morning. This is perfect!
Brilliant 'teaching points' and important details! So many thanks!.......
Thanks Elle! Tried the long version under one eye, then tried Mabelline age rewind neutralizer and then age rewind illuminator on the other. Mabelline won, Bags Down!!! Also, my favorite setting powder is e.l.f.sheer translucent loose powder. It is the ONLY one from top powders that doesn’t make me look crepey under my eyes. I am 56 with normal to dry skin. I also have been using, per your recommendation, the It cosmetics Bye Bye under eye cream and it is now my go to twice a day. Does not give me the white bumps so many creams and oils do. Thanks for all you do for us here! Kathy
yay!!
I deal with the same allergies all the time it makes my eyes drive my crazy. My Ziip helps. Yeah it was expensive but worth it. I have dior concealer but I'm going to get the new lancome in years when. I use it up. RMS is great too. Eye masks are my friends. Vitamin c
Great video!! So informative and easy to understand. Thanks Elle!!
I have just tried out your techniques and that really work for me. Fabulous
I have large pores around my nose. Can you please make a video for large pores as well
Many thanks
Thanks Elle, I definitely needed this tutorial. It wasn't confusing at all, but like you said, I'll definitely need to watch again, WHILE I'm actually doing the application. Great technique tips! Thanks again!
Another awesome video Elle! So timely with the allergy season upon us. Great detail. Your eyelashes look so great. Mascara, false lashes, extensions? They look perfect.
LOL!! thanks love, nope just GrandeLash, lash primer, heated lash curler and mascara xoxo
Awesome! I've heard this before about brightening the shadow beneath the bag, but never so much good supporting info about products and color correcting. You're so generous with your knowledge and expertise! Thank you!
thank you so much love!
Thank you so much for this tutorial Elle! It was so helpful. I love the idea of having “Elle notes”!!! I currently have a small notebook with all that notes I take from your videos!
Really enjoyed this!! I am about to turn 49 and haven't been wearing makeup for many years because of menopause and all the sweating that comes with hot flashes. So, i feel that im relearning how to best correct my dark circles and wrinkles without so much makeup. I've never been one to use a lot of makeup so this is a challenge for me. I am Puerto Rican so my skin is more tan, but you really made me realize that as long as i find the right products for my skin the technique is the same. Lol, im just not used to seeing makeup on my skin. I like a very natural look in a short amount of time.
Thank you and will continue to watch you and learn more from you!!

😍😍😍😍
This is the best explanation I have seen for under eye issues. Thank you!
Love your transparency!! Thank you for your help!
I'm so glad I found you thank you so much I have glocoma my eye drops for the glocoma makes darkness under the eyes & it don't go away. I look like I have black eyes everyday so I'm goingvto try what I heard you say I watched this video closely again thank you I will be watching more of your beauty tips. Enjoy you so much.
Woman! I love you! Picking up that UD peach corrector on my next beauty run. Thank you!
love you back Emme!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You've explained it all so well. You look totally flawless❣😍
Your make up looks lovely and luminous
Elle, I already somewhat did these but your video helped me to tweet my application. Thanks.
Elle I liked you before but now i really like you. You've shared a gem of a makeup technique and I'm sure you've just made a lot of women very very happy. I use a lipstick brush and nars matte concealer. One swipe in the hollow. Let it sit. Tap it in. Magic!! 😃😂
thank you Alicia!
I recently bought a Merle Norman concealer corrector, it works really well for me. I was told after applying to let it sit for a bit, just as you instructed in this video, that was a big help to me for getting coverage.
yay!! that is a great one
Loved that video, have watched a couple of times and will probably watch again once I buy some products to try, thanks for the great information and recommendations on products to have a go with.
Great video...thank you. 💜💜
I am definitely going to try this, money is an issue but I can get one at a time if need be till I have everything I need , then go to town trying this technique. Thank you once again for a great video.
Thanks for this in-depth how to vid on this very common issue for all who suffer with discoloration which I do as well. When I began playing with color correcting not just my undereyes but all my spread out facial melasma I did realize I wasn't used to seri g such a flawless face staring back in my mirror 😛 then after playing a few times with different undertone correctors it became easier to get used to. We can play with so many products in the market now that no matter what ur issue is there are plenty low and high end products to choose from as u pointed out. Just by watching your transformation as you went from zero & gave us your appkication process had certainly given me other options to try. Thanks again for your awesome content and that beautiful smile that always cheers us on to try new ways to improve our make up application techniques. Loved it.😘
I agree with you,. I think less is more with make up. I always thought was suppose to look as natural as possible not caked on
Sorry for the long comment, but I have to say..this works! I've been doing this for yrs. I find using light layers & letting the concealer "set" a moment before blending is key. I have crepey undereyes & large hereditary bags. My skin tone is "light/med." with a neutral undertone. My dark under eye comes mostly from the shadow created by the bags (you can tell by pulling the eye bag skin taught & look at the discoloration once the area is smoothed). The key here is the highlighter! The light reflecting pigments really help minimize that shadow. I currently use the Maybelline instant age rewind concealers in "neutralizer" and "highlighter". The right pen highlighter is amazing too! I first lightly apply & blend the neutralizer under my eyes-only where I need it. Then, using a sm. precise concealer brush, I again lightly apply the neutralizer ONLY where the shadow/dark "line" is & blend by tapping with my finger. Using the same brush, apply the Highlighter concealer around the eye wherever you see a shadow. Blend and repeat in light layers if needed, until you are satisfied. I set with a tiny bit of powder. Sounds like a lot but it's invisible and natural looking if done correctly! Thanks for all your great videos Elle, you are awesome!
😍😍😍
I thought this was such a great, informative, helpful video! I may have to rewatch it once but loved how you showed exactly where to put product, how you blend, etc. SO helpful;)
Not confusing at all!! Love your videos Elle!!
thank you Tracey!!
Thank you so much for this!!! The only step I am afraid of is the powder. I can never seem to get my undereyes to set without looking cakey...no matter which one I use and how little I use. This video will make the permanent playlist for sore! You have such a great way of explaining and showing the steps!❤❤❤
Nancy Moon-Rush thank you love!! I actually have a few videos on setting the under eye that might help xo
I have been there, done that with the red and orange lipstick/correctors and I am just not about that life! 😂 This is so much more practical and natural looking. The hardest part for me is not to accidentally highlight the bag since my first instinct is always just to go in with a ton of product all over. Being more strategic with placement might take a bit more time but I definitely see a difference.
I have puffiness/ bags under my eyes from water retention and allergies. Luckily I have no discoloration. A sure fire way for me to depuff that area is Dr Brandt No More Baggage. It works great - just sucks those bags up- and lasts all day. It has a peachy tint so it may help those with purple/ blue discoloration.
Love this video. Thanks for all of the information .
I just discovered this video and it is such a great tutorial!
Thank you so much!! This was great. I have super dark circles an now at 47 I’m learning how to work them.
Thank you so much Elle❤ I have severe allergies, I am also allergic to mosquitoes, which we have an abundance of. That being said on some days my bags are packed for a week long trip. I use the Revlon concealer. Problem!!!!! I have been doing it all wrong. I tried your tips and tricks and was stunned by the difference. You are an Angel👼 luv from me to u❤
Thank you so much! Your demonstrations and explanations were very helpful. I took lots of notes!!!!
Love this video. Would love to see how you correct for tiny capillaries. I have several and they are tough to cover.Thank you💜
I love to hear I'm not the only one with an Elle notebook 😍😍 I also have a Elle Playlist which I'm now dividing into two; Elle Skincare & Elle Makeup. But I do have tons of notes from your videos as well as a shopping and Sephora sample list. I am now trying the Drunk Elephant Suvari baby facial mask which I'll follow with the Virgin Morula facial oil. I've learned soo much great advice from you, Elle 😍 😘 for which I'm very grateful ❤
love this Lisa!! xoxo
Love love love this so much. I was right there with you Elle and working on "my canvas" as you were giving out the tips. It really does look like there's more makeup when those imperfections are hidden. But my skin feels better with less on. Thank you for mentioning that part!
Oh my gosh!!! I just received the notification for this video.. I'm SO excited to watch, I was one of us that asked for an all about under eyes! 😍😍 I'm currently at work, so have to wait to watch.. but I just had to hop on and say thanks Elle! Excited! ❤
😍😍😍😍
I have learnt so much from you. I have watched so many tutorials but yours are the best! So a great big thank you for spending so much of your precious time on them!
thank you love!
Thanx so much Elle! I struggle with under eye circles & how to lessen them; it's tough when you"re super fair skinned as well. I can't wait to give this a try & experiment a little!!
Hi beautiful I learned a lot from your video today put can I use peach to cover the redness on my face or I have to buy yellow corrector
This is a wonderful tutorial. I've been using this minimalist approach for just applying my foundation and face makeup in general. Now I know how to incorporate concealing my dark circles under my into that system. Cool. Love to learn new tricks.
Thanks, Elle, great video with much needed information.
Thanks so much, Elle! This worked for me after most everything else did not. You are amazing, and I’m very thankful for you!
😍😍😍😍
It was AWESOME meeting you in Sephora! You are truly the sweetest on RUclips and in person ❤️❤️ I’ve told numerous people to subscribe to you! This is Jess that you met in Sephora inside jcp in Kalamazoo 💕 please visit again someday!
Thank you so much for the great tips. I have eye bags & can't wait to try this method.
💐Thanks 🙏 so much for your insight and expertise and willingness to share these beautiful techniques with us! I don’t have an Elle’s Beauty Book either, but I guarantee I will be getting a tablet next trip to town. Fantastic idea for those of us that are not quite so talented, but who love 💕 learning about makeup and its application! I have both dark circles and under eye bags so is going to my favorite file. Have a wonderful week 💄💋❣️
Okay so I tired some your tips last night and my daughter said my makeup looked really good. The best it has. I think I'm officially obsessed with your channel. (I'm a newbie)
yay!! love to hear this
You are a great teacher Elle. Thank you!
You've helped me so much with your clear instructions. You are so pretty!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for all your tips & teaching about all things beauty!
Your eyeshadow goes from lid to above crease and from inner eye to outer eye and. I have hooded eyes. I usually do a c shade and keeping the center above pupil light. Would you say this is something that I can do. Your so pretty and love how you do your eyes. I tried draping. Need a little practice, and thank you for replying to my comment. I do watch videos silent since my husband and I are watching tv. My ear pods are not charged. So enjoying each of your video especially the captions ones. Judy
Great video! When I get my act together I will try your method.
Wow, so much good info in here. Thank you so much
YOU ERASED THE BAG!!! (Can't wait to try this tomorrow, Elle! YOU are pretty FABULOUS!)

Great video ! I use a peach corrector for my hyperpigmentation and it still shows thru. I'm going to try your tips and see if it makes a difference.
Omg I love this video! Has to be the best I've watched bc this momma of 4 has luggage and a carry on under my eyes! Haven't slept in 10 years with babies so this video is saving me right now! I'm always scared bc I know less is more and color correcting used to intimidate me, not anymore. Thank you!
thank you Megan!!!
