New to using : IT Cosmetics spec. Byebye undereye & ?

homedecor1 — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 00:24:11 GMT

Ok beauty ladies I need help! I wear very little makeup. Most days just moisturizer, light foundation (Laura Geller), eyeliner & mascara.

I bought IT byebye undereye concealer illumination for darkness under eye - I look like I'm "glowing" under the eye area. I read the reviews & yes it's very heavy (even though I only used a few dots).

What is the "secret" to not look like I'm glowing. I'd return to Q but I like the brush. Any ideas how to make it less noticeable as it does cover just don't like the "glow".

Thank you!

@homedecor1, I suggest that you use a translucent powder over it to tame it down. You may want to consider Laura Mercier Secret Concealer. I use it and just a little bit and pat on and sometimes I will blend with my finger. If interested, Nordstrom sells it - free shpg. & returns. I have say that more than half of women do not know how to use these illuminmation products and their faces could stop traffic.

I suggest putting some translucent powder or exchanging it for the regular bye bye undereye. It's called illumination for a reason. I like the way it brightens the area. If your only using a few dots maybe you would like the regular bye bye undereye.

I love that stuff...........however I'll be truthful and honest about applying. Throw that brush away - yes, use it for something else if you wish. Bye Bye is so thick - put a small dot on your hand - let it warm up a little and with your right ring finger smear it out from the puddle form - and apply 3 dots DOTS under each eye - and then blend the dots together - using upward and out motion on eye skin. You'll waste more than you'll use in each application; but it does a great job on dark under eye problem. That's my experienced suggestion. Brush is too big and grabs too much of the cosmetic. Don't know why Jamie hasn't figured that out yet. (she sells more with the brush)

thank you! Yes,I glow I looked like raccoon glowing eye sockets today. I also have olive dark skin and have constant dark tan. I bought "medium".

I tried to use sparingly yet a little goes a long way! I will try the non-illuminating or other suggestions here.

thanks again!! I knew you beauty ladies would know the answer!!!

Another suggestion I saw was to warm it up in a small glass of warm water. I haven't tried that yet.

Oh that might be your problem. If you bought medium but are tanned you needed to get the next darkest shade because of the illumination. I am light in the cc creams but I use medium in this concealer. The lightest shade because of the illumination would of been way to light. So I think that might be your issue.

i squeeze a dot on back of my hand, and pick it up from there with my finger, and dab it under my eye, i use very very little. then i use a tranlucent power applied with a brush, lightly sweeping it acorss my undereye area.

the key for me is to use on dot, placed on the back of my hand.
