- Hi everyone,
Today I will be sharing my tips and advice for concealing under eye hollows, dark circles and eye bags. I’ve always been so self conscious of mine and they’ve become much more prominent as I've aged. It can be tricky when applying concealer to mature under eyes, but I feel as though I've finally found a method that works for me. I know this issue can really affect confidence, so I’m hoping that by sharing this method, it might help you too ☺️
Thanks for stopping by 💕
Love Carmel xx

That was a brilliant video. Thank you so much!! You explained every detail of what you were doing in a way that made so much sense. What I loved was the way you continually repeated the fact that you only placed the concealer on the areas that required the attention. Not to take it too far up the eye. As that makes everything look Pear Shaped!! I have been waiting and waiting for a step by step video exactly like that for such a long time. Now I feel like going into the bathroom and trying it out. Lol You saved me!! Concealer is not my friend. I hate it. I never really understood the need for it. Never understood why the younger girls paint half their faces with it. Of course the reason was they don’t have wrinkles, hollows or dark circles!! But what exactly were they trying to achieve? You have just explained to me how Concealer should be used. It’s true purpose, and I’d like to thank you so much!! 🩷
Oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write this Nicola 🥹 Your comment has made me so incredibly happy! To think that this video could help just one person makes it all worth it ☺️
It’s taken many years of under eye & concealer woes for me to get to this point and honestly - it just takes some practice! Would love to hear about how you get along with it in the future 💕 Thank you again, you’ll never know how much I appreciate your kind words! 🥹💖
I HAVE THESE HOLLOWS!!!!! They AGE ME HORRIBLY…. Thank you for this wonderful video.
You’re so welcome! 💖 I totally feel your pain! Learning to live with them is half the battle - and thank goodness for concealer 😂
Your grace is what I first notice. : )
What a really kind thing to say, thank you so much ☺️

Hi Hazel, thank you so much for sharing 💗 Gosh I’m so sorry to hear about your health struggles. I completely understand your feelings, especially when in the vicious cycle of needing sleep but not being able to get it. It can be quite soul & confidence destroying.

I love the way you explained everything step by step. I have hollowness under the eyes too and I’ve watched many videos about how to camouflage them but this is the absolute best one I’ve seen. I don’t understand why people have to make it seem so overly complicated in the other videos. They have all of these steps and act like only certain expensive products will work. I can’t wait to try your method. I’m just waiting for the moisturiser under my eyes to dry 😂. Thank you. I’ve subscribed.
Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment. It truly does mean the world to me! 🥹💕 I really hope it works for you! 🤞
Ps- I find that serums can work a little better under the eyes than moisturiser- they’re better at firming & plumping and they absorb super fast! ☺️
Thanks again for your kind words, hope have a fab day ☺️💕
Wow, what a clever method. I didn't expect that honestly, especially when you mentioned using a lighter shade, I panicked. Well done.
Gosh thank you so much, I really do appreciate that! It’s such a simple technique and if I can do it - anyone can! ☺️🩷
This is truly the best video on concealing the under eye I have ever watched. I deal with hollows and puffy under eyes from allergies so both seem exaggerated, and I couldn’t believe how well this technique balanced things out. I am SO insecure about my under eyes and this really helped my confidence!
Hi Joy ☺️ Gosh I totally relate, problematic under eyes can have such a negative impact on confidence- I’ve struggled all of my life. To think that this video has helped you in some way makes me so incredibly happy! Thank you so much for sharing, I’m so grateful! 💕☺️

Wow one of the best CZcams videos I ever watched . I have deep set eyes and hollow under eyes . I cry I see where I look in the mirror I see where I been making mistakes.
Oh Maria, don’t ever be upset! You are absolutely beautiful 🩷 I obviously understand how confidence shattering our ‘hang ups’ can be, but I can promise you that people only notice your beauty, not your under eyes (and it took me a long time to learn that!)
Makeup can be a wonderful tool for helping to restore some confidence & I really hope that this technique will help you too. Practise honestly makes perfect 💗🥰
Wow you did a great job ❤
That is so kind of you to say, thank you so much! 💗 It’s honestly as easy as it looks. If I can do it, anyone can! 🥰
This was a very helpful video. The before and after comparisons were great. So improved. I too have dark under eyes and hollows and I am also a little bit crepey (already at 48 😔) Great video - thanks so much. I think I might try the Natasha Denona hyglam concealer 😊
Aw I understand, mine are thin & crepey too! Try to use a firming eye serum (not a cream) a few mins before your concealer, I really think you might notice a little difference ☺️ The Natasha Denona is a fab concealer, but honestly any decent concealer will do 😘💗
I have awful dark genetic circles. This is the first video I’ve seen by someone who has similar. Thanks for the tips - I think I’ve been doing it all wrong!
You are so welcome, Susan! ☺️ Ah you haven’t been doing it all wrong at all; what works for one, won’t necessarily work for another! Sometimes we need to tweak or adjust things to suit our own unique faces. Trial & error for sure! 🩷☺️
My goodness the difference is amazing. I permanently look knackered because of these hollows, I'm going to try this to see if it helps. Thanks for the tips! 😊
Oh I understand completely, being think I’m sick when I have no makeup on! 😂
You will definitely be able to do it, just keep practising! Keep the concealer & powder only in the hollow & I’m sure you’ll notice a difference! 🩷🥰
@@CarmelNicoleBeautyyes it works!! It looks loads better, thank you 😊
@@Yorkshirelass_70 Amazing, I’m so happy to hear this! 😃💗
I’ve the same problem of having deepest eye and darker under and above eye
I totally understand, deep set eyes can be tricky! Using concealer carefully both above & below the eye can really help. Also avoiding darker eyeshadows on your actual lid & using a lighter shadow or light shimmer instead can really help to open up the eyes ☺️
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty yes that’s what I’ve learned too since sometimes look really dark and tired eyes otherwise especially since I’ve brown/ wheat tone skinned so already darker. New subscriber to your channel since trying to learn more eye tips especially eyeshadow techniques that suits me.
@@pdesai2340 So delighted to have you here ☺️🩷
Great info!!! I suffer from the same problem and it’s a battle I wish would just disappear
Oh I totally understand, Linda. Just remember, other people will never notice as much as you do 💕 But by discovering new techniques hopefully we can get to a place where we feel more comfortable & confident in our own skin 🥰🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Yes, me too, but I’m finding the “right brush/tool” is sometimes more important than the concealer. By the way, hi from near Savannah GA, USA! My oldest daughter is a Nicole but to the family she’s Nikki.
@@lindasmith2345 You’re right, the brush is so important! If it helps, the BK Beauty A506 is the best brush I’ve ever used- it’s linked in the description or you can just check it out directly via the BK Beauty website ☺️
Georgia, wow! I still find it fascinating that people watch from so far away! 🇺🇸🇮🇪🥰
Hi Carmel, thank you for this video which I found very useful! I also have deep set eyes, under eye hollows and what I describe as 'teabag staining' on the lids and undereye. Will definitely be more 'strategic' about concealer placement going forward! Interesting you apply concealer under foundation, I'm always concerned it will move when foundation is applied on top but yours didn't, will definitely give this a whirl! Xx❤🤩😍
Hi Jillian 🩷 The key is actually to avoid bringing the foundation over the concealer at all, or vice versa! I simply blend them together, a bit like with different eye shadow colours! That way the concealer stays under your eyes and the foundation on your face, avoiding any caking or heaviness 💗 Do let me know if you give it a try, would love hear how you get on! 🥰💖 xx
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty Excellent tips as always Carmel, will do! Xx🥰
amazing.
Ah thank you so much! 🥰
Thank you for this informative videos. I am horrible with make up and have been dealing with my dark circles looking exhausted most of the time since I was a kid. Going to try your concealers. Can you please let me know which shade of the NYX concealer you use. Thank you do much for helping us.
Oh you are so welcome! 😊 I don’t think you’ll be horrible with makeup, just maybe lacking in confidence 💛 My shade in the Nyx Bear with Me Concealer is ‘Beige’ - hope that helps! 💕
Thank you! This is great advice. I’ve been literally ‘haunted’ by my purple shadows for as long as I can remember and I use concealer every day - even if it’s a ‘no make up day’. Your tip about getting a lighter concealer is right- I’ve around six concealers and I remember the one I liked best was a lighter one - I can’t get it any more.
But I also have quite prominent eye bags (forget fat pads- mine resemble shoulder bags!) any advice for these? I also have a lot of wrinkles under my eyes as a result of trying to wear contact lenses years ago.
Thank you.

I have deep under eye hollows and nothing seems to work. I’m going to try your method. Thank you for the info.
Hope it helps, Pati! It can take some practise but can be amazing if you can get it right! 💗
Great job! Impressed and thankful. Will it stay or are they back later?
Thank you. Mary! 💗 Ahhh I wish they would stay away but only a temporary fix unfortunately 😅💗
No will they stay concealed for your day?
@@marymcghee3023 Oh of course, Mary! Unless it’s disturbed with water (or tears!) the powder will set it in place all day! 💖
Great video.. I tried for the first time this morning!!! Looks better but I think I used too much so I’ll be careful tomorrow morning 😊😮
Hi Nicole, thank you so much! ☺️ You’ll honestly be so surprised at how little product you actually need. I always used to over apply- it just felt wrong to apply so little 😂 I always tell myself that I can always add more, but it’s harder to take away; so it’s best to be gradual ☺️ Good luck with it tomorrow! 🩷
Ty when I saw these videos about how to cover the hollow under the eye, I’m like son of a gun I never even thought because I always just apply a little concealer and it always look nice. I always got compliments, but there was still that little spot right there in the crevice that sometimes I thought showed through and then I’ve also seen videos where you can apply a color corrector and that one spot very lightly and then go over it with your concealer. I always put my make up on first which is attended moisturizer. I don’t really use foundation or sometimes a cushion foundation and then I would do my concealer, but I’m definitely gonna try your way because it makes sense!!!😉
I wish I could have somebody like you applying my make up every morning.😃😃😃😜
@@nicolerandell9381 Well it sounds like you’re doing fab with your concealer already, just refine that placement & I’m sure it’ll be absolutely perfect! Make sure you let me know how you get on, Nicole ☺️
@@nicolerandell9381 Haha! 😂 You definitely don’t want me doing your makeup, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing most days 🙃
amazing 🌺 I try to apply my concealer like this all the time but when we’re in a hurry, we just put concealer all over under our eyes and go which doesn’t look any natural near this
You are so right, Zeynep! And we’ve become so used to seeing people place the concealer underneath the whole eye that we naturally think that it’s the best thing to do (I’m totally guilty of doing that sometimes too by the way! 😂)
Hopefully this way won’t be time consuming, just a few carefully placed dots & you’re good to go 🥰🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeautyexactly! applying all over is also good for when taking photos 📸
I have deep set eyes too and you can't really do any kind of wing because it goes away when you stop
pulling your eye to the side. Do you do it and how?
Hi Lori ☺️ Oh I totally feel you when it comes to a wing. I rarely do them and for that reason! It can be tricky with deep set eyes, but it is possible!
So when I do a wing, I always use a dark eyeshadow, rather than an actual liner. I find shadow more forgiving if you make a mistake! I don’t pull my eye to the side, instead I keep my eye open and follow my bottom lash line out to the side. So basically just an extension of that lower lash line. You might find that the wing looks a little more ‘straight’ than with people without deep set eyes, but that is perfectly normal. I don’t create a huge wing, just something quite subtle and eyeshadow is great for practising this! My tip would be to avoid pulling your eye or distorting it in any way, just look straight ahead into your mirror and create it with eyes resting as normal 🙂
The only brush I can use for a wing is the Sigma E06 winged liner brush. It’s my absolute holy grail liner brush, I genuinely can’t do a wing with _any_ other brush! It’s amazing, so easy to use and ideal for beginners ☺️🩷
What about Laura merrier powder? Could you say something about that product for hollow under eyes?
Hey there! I think powder is a really personal thing, but the Laura Mercier doesn’t work for me at all 😕 It literally makes me look 10 years older than what I am! I find it very drying & it sits into all of my lines. That doesn’t mean that it won’t work for you though! My top powders would be the Huda Easy Bake, the Givenchy Prisme Libre & the Maybelline Fit Me Loose Powder. All very smooth, very blurring & sets concealer without caking or drying 💖
I have a violin( fiddle) that is very old and I once was invited to a music studio house that some really good musicians owned. In that house there was a room for working on instruments. My friend, took my violin and took it apart! he made adjustments to the thickness of the top face of the violin and put it back together. He explained to me that it was a good violin, and if I now played it well, it would develop fractures in the shellac that allowed beautiful vibrations to resonate from my violin. He explained that the common vibrations cause common wrinkles in the finish and if the music played is not beautiful, the wrinkles will not be the kind that allow good sounds ( vibrations) . the reason I am saying this is that the texture of a persons face will be lovely if they express lovely feelings. You, and others with a lovely disposition, develop a tell tale beauty that even from a distance shows the lovely nature of their thoughts and feelings. perhaps do not hide the signs of your sweet self. it will be beautiful because of your nature...perhaps, : )
George! Your analogies are so wonderful- are you a writer? If not, you should be! ☺️ I think you’re completely right & this is definitely the journey that I’m currently on! Thank you for recognising the challenges & for giving such lovely advice 🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty You are welcome Carmel.
Could you please recommend any other concealer brush, BK is a bit out of my range.
@@shubhrapant6482 Hi there! Another recommendation would be from Real Techniques, they have an ‘expert concealer brush’ & it’s really great! 😘🩷
💜💜💜
☺️💕
Thank you for your video. I’ve tried this and it does not work 🤦♀️ are you putting it on the darkness, the line or?? Pls help! 😢
Oh gosh I’m sorry! Did you use a lighter shade of concealer? I’m only putting the concealer *in the line/contour* - only where it *dips* in. If you’re still concerned with darkness outside of that area, you can use a different shade of concealer (one that matches your skin tone more) in that area. You just have to make sure that you only use a lighter shade in that hollow part that dips in. Thats because adding a light colour ‘brings things forward’ and similarly, adding a dark shade would ‘push things back’. We are adding light because we want to give the illusion of bringing that contour forward, making the hollow seem less visible! Sometimes you just need to keep practicing! It can take a few tries, for sure. Good luck, don’t give up trying 🩷☺️
I would just like to see the hack/method.
Would Laura Mercier secret brightening powder be good ?
Hi there! So I’ve only ever used the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder and being honest…I don’t like it at all 😩 I know it’s a holy grail for so many, but it genuinely ages me by about 10 years! 😒
However from what I know, the Brightening version that you mention was formulated specifically for the under eye area; so it’s probably much better and I’m guessing you’ll get less settling into fine lines. It sounds like it’ll give a good brightening effect along with mattifying the area too 😊💕
You are beautiful ❤😍😍
Oh gosh, you’re far too kind! 🥹 Thank you so much! 🥰❤️
I think either must be using the wrong concealer or colour as no matter how much I put in the hollow I can see the purple through. Need to look into that
Hi Eve, try going for more of a yellow toned concealer. In theory yellow should help to cancel out the purple! Try some samples before committing to purchase if you can! 🩷
Do you do anything to prevent crows feet?
Hi there! Crows feet are so tricky to prevent!
Firstly, keep the under eye area fully hydrated by using plumping serums that contain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. Serums are great at penetrating and firming.
My best piece of advice would be to avoid accentuating them. So basically use a very minimal amount of concealer in that area (or none at all if you can!) and I would also avoid using powder in that area too. I never powder near my crows feet because that area is constantly moving and powder can accentuate lines terribly! The only foolproof way outside of all this would be Botox. Sorry if that’s not helpful at all 🩷
I put my under eye patches in the refrigerator and I get better results that way
This is an absolutely fabulous tip! A great way to reduce puffiness & inflammation ☺️ Thank you so much for sharing! 🩷

You're welcome 😊
I have 60 year old eye bags, thin skin, redness and dark circles. I have to use very gentle products, retinol, and retinoid kill my skin.
@@Durelle522 I totally get that Durelle, I only use super gentle retinols too! I think social media has us believe that we _need_ retinols, but I don’t think we do. Just look after your skin & listen to what it’s telling you! It’s a very personal thing & we all have different needs for sure 🥰
Also easy gel ….prp
Just a question, I have dark circles caused due to genetics. So should I buy a shade lighter or darker? Because I tried using a lighter shade, and it made it greyish. I used a corrector, kinda worked. And now I have a darker shade, and it looks the same as one with a corrector. So I'm confused 🙃
Hey there! Oh gosh, I know- it’s very confusing! 🫤 This is because we should try to match our concealer to our skin tone (light, medium, dark etc) and also to our undertone (cool, warm, neutral, olive) And this in itself is a huge task! On top of this, we all have our specific eye concerns! Nightmare! 😩
It sounds as though you found a colour corrector that cancelled out your darkness quite well! Have a look at what the undertone of that corrector is and find a concealer that has the same undertone. I genuinely believe that you can you can get colour correction from your concealer, no need to buy a separate one.
I would definitely advise going to a makeup counter of your choice & get them to experiment on which cancels out your darkness the best. It really is trial & error! Don’t give up- there will be a perfect concealer out there for you somewhere! 🩷🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty omg thank you so much . This is actually so helpful 😭 I actually checked my undertones at a shop, and mine is neutral 🥲so it's more difficult to detect. The colour corrector I had tried on was red/orange which I believe cancelled out my dark circles very well. Which basically draws the conclusion that I might have a warm undertone. But for my lip shades and eye shades, I have a cool undertone. It's so confusing 😭 But thanks for your advice ☺️
@@brindhawagle Aw you are so welcome Brindha, no need to thank me 🥰
Is there any chance that you could be an olive undertone at all?? I am- and didn’t realise until my 40s! 😂 It makes colour matching very challenging! Olive tones can be warm, cool, neutral or a mix! I’m an olive that has very muted warm undertones. Because they’re SO muted, I generally have to go neutral- but that doesn’t mean neutral always works 😬 I promise you will find your shade eventually & you’ll never look back! ☺️💕
Can i use a finger to apply a concealer?
I’m a guy and don’t have much to spend😅
Hi! Yes of course you can, lots of people prefer to use their fingers to apply makeup ☺️
The reason why I don’t like to use my fingers is because sometimes our natural oils can actually interfere with the product, which can lead to lifting of the concealer and it can sometimes make it less effective! Give it a whirl & see how you go- it’s all trial & error really 😄
Just for your info, ELF Cosmetics & Real Techniques have some amazing brushes & they’re super affordable too! Also, if you’re looking for an amazing drugstore concealer, try the ‘NYX Bear With Me’ serum concealer, it’s as good as any high end concealer out there! Good luck! 😊💗

South Africa- wow! 🇿🇦😃 Thank you for subbing- really hope the technique is useful! 🥰💗

@@annabrisley479 Amazing, Anna! Best of luck, hope it turns out great! ☺️🩷
My hollows are so prominent now this trick dosen't really conceal them..I do it though ...it helps my overall look...
Aw sorry to hear that, Tia! It definitely won’t get rid of them, but will hopefully help to minimise a little. Try using a much lighter shade in the hollow itself and a darker shade in the rest of the area, it might help a little more! Best of luck 💗☺️
I have hollow eyes but I’m only 18, it’s my biggest insecurity it makes me look sick. I’ve had them since I was a young teen though so I’m pretty sure it’s just how my bones are structured
I completely understand 💕 Like you, I’ve had them my whole life & it was only since the explosion of social media that I really noticed how bad they were (& I used to really over analyse every photo of myself!)
I completely relate to how much of an insecurity they will be for you, but like you said- they’re actually a part of our structure & genetics! I can confidently say that nobody is focusing on your under eyes, but my hope is that by using little techniques like this, it can help to increase confidence just a little ☺️🩷
are you placing the concealer under the bag?
Hi Durelle, I place the concealer directly into the bag/contour/crease/hollow! It won’t work as well if you go below or above it. Hope that helps ☺️🩷
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty
Thank you. I was curious because part of my eye bags are shadows like you said. I’m playing around with this because I’m new to this technique. I put my head down and put a few tiny dots under the bag and then blended across and took the rest up over the bag.
I have no idea how it looked because I got called in early for work. I could have looked like the village idiot. 😂
@@Durelle522 Haha, this made me giggle! 😂 You will definitely not have looked like the village idiot and sounds like you did great! 😄 It’s all trial & error Durelle, so just experiment and see what works best! You might have to tweak it to suit you, but my best advice is to use as little product as you can - you can always build up if you need to, so start slow ☺️🩷

Oh I don’t blame you, it’s definitely more of a longer term fix! Did they turn out great? 😊
You can’t put hydration under the eyes when you have “bags” or puffiness.
Hi there! Do you mean due to water retention causing puffiness? There are so many different factors that cause bags or puffiness, but hydration is definitely key when it comes to reducing puffy eyes or bags, no matter what the cause ☺️ And in relation to this makeup technique, it won’t work on dry under eyes unfortunately 😕 The key is to do whatever works best for you 💕
Thank you! This is great advice. I’ve been literally ‘haunted’ by my purple shadows for as long as I can remember and I use concealer every day - even if it’s a ‘no make up day’. Your tip about getting a lighter concealer is right- I’ve around six concealers and I remember the one I liked best was a lighter one - I can’t get it any more.
But I also have quite prominent eye bags (forget fat pads- mine resemble shoulder bags!) any advice for these? I also have a lot of wrinkles under my eyes as a result of trying to wear contact lenses years ago.
Hi Ruth ☺️ Oh I understand, under eyes can be so frustrating! I think your best bet is to start with a firming, plumping serum. Just make sure it’s a serum (not a cream) as they contain the active ingredients which will firm & hydrate! Then make sure you use powder to set, this will reduce the look of the bags because you’re taking away the reflection of the hollow. I’m actually in the process of testing out about 15 drugstore concealers 🙈 I’m hoping the video will be complete in a couple of weeks, so that might be helpful when choosing a new concealer? I can come back here & let you know when I’ve published it! ☺️💕
@@CarmelNicoleBeauty thank you! I’d like to see that!
