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.

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.
