UNDER EYE BAGS AND DARKNESS

Shanus · ‎05-17-2010

I think I described the technique here when someone asked about concealing bags/darkness....placing the concealer not on the bag, but underneath it. Dominique Sachse just posted a YOUTUBE video several hours ago showing this technique. She even sets it with the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder I suggested.

Please check it out if interested.

Very cool! Great to see such detail and not just a smearing of gloppy product everywhere. Thanks @Shanus

Wayne Goss and I think others did YT videos on this exact techique a while back. I use the LM Under Eye Secret Brightening Powder. It's excellent because it's super fine milled.

@Shanus - I've been doing that for Years. I also use a color corrector. Helps.

I've had "problems" with eye bags for years (maybe since birth), that got worse after an eye surgery.

I'll check this out.

@Mimi 1883 Correctors are wonderful to help w/ darkness. After that, using less concealer means less creasing.

@author The one thing I'm not she mentioned is that she probably hydrated the under eye quite area well before beginning the applications.

@Shanus

She didn't mention the eye hydration but for me at over 70 it's a given.....! My favorite still is BB hydrading eye cream even if I use something else first (e.g., Strivectin, Clinique, etc.); the BB goes on before concealer.

To do this right I think it will take a bit of time at first, then it will be fast and easy as you learn what works. I also have the LM powder so am all set to try this.

@author I also like BB's fairly new Vitamin Enriched Face base for the under eye. Like the same face moisturizer, it has a primer in it that helps smoothe the area.

@author IMHO, this is a bit too much time to spend on every day makeup. She works on TV and needs perfect coverage. I think a light hand w/ corector and concealer is an easier technique with a light hand. Being that exacting with a tiny brush would be time assuming. It's a good technique for special occasions, ZOOM meetings, etc.
