Unfortunately I believe the Blurring primer has actually been discontinued :( - the link you provided to Amazon is only for the Gripping Primer, the Dewy and the Invisible. I remember purchasing the last tubes they had at a super low price months ago and they havenât had it since. CoverFX has taken it off their website as well. It was shown as Sold Out for at least 6 months before it just disappeared from the site completely. I tried emailing them but never get a response lol. Iâve been having to buy mine on platforms like Poshmark and Mercari but I havenât had any luck in a few months either. I was really excited to see you mention it and thought maybe it had been brought back for a second but alasâŠitâs still MIA. If anyone knows of a close dupe, Iâd love to know-Iâve tried several different ones and thereâs just nothing like it for me.
Artist here- simple breakdown: 1. Darker than skin concealer will move under eye plain backwards in space so if you have full, puffy under eye area, more like water bags, itâs gonna help to push it away and let your eyes pop more. 2. Lighter than you skin concealer is going to do opposite and move your under eye area forward, itâs good for hollow under eye area, like the one we usually see on more mature people. 3. True match to your skin is going to flatten the area and kind of blend it with same-level areas around it(cheeks). Itâs a go to if you dont want to think much about it and best looking if you have nor hollow nor puffy eye bags. but if you have long or flat face for example, itâs going to make it even longer/flatter so be mindful of that. The most important thing is not a value tho, itâs a hue- it needs to match your undertone as perfectly as it can. (under eye area has no overtone almost) In short, analyze your face and do whatever is best for you specifically. Hope it helped! Stay safe!
@@Flow888100 You're welcome. I just saw that Smitha uploaded to this chanel a video about color theory and color correcting a few days ago and I'm sure it's super helpful. Look at her last videos for "how to apply color correcting concealer"
I learn so much from this channel. She makes it super easy to understand. Sometimes I watch people and Iâm like âtoo advanced! Dumb it down for me!â
All great looks especially the last one! Random compliment but I love that you have real nails and not 3-inch âinfluencerâ nails. Makes me feel like Iâm listening to a friend!
I know you don't discuss much skincare but would you consider a video talking about SPF under makeup? Especially how to use it with or without primer? Its tricky to get foundation to look good over it but adding a primer can sometimes be too much product under it. Any tips you might have would be very helpful. Thank you, love your content!
As you get older, you have more and more confidence which makes you even more beautiful! I am 68 and I love to watch you because I always learn something new and helpful. I recommend you often. You deserve all love and success!
Brilliant video! đđŒ I am 57 and thought I had this under eye trouble sorted. This is the most comprehensive and easy to follow/understand that I've seen. Thank you for this hard work. Bravo đ„°
I accidentally came to your channel. I'm not fond of makeup but your way of applying and explaining is so cute, easy and fun that I started using my makeup stuff and learning so much. I'm 58 years old. I do take care of my skin and still have smooth skin without any wrinkles or uneven skin tone. Thankful to you for your tutorials. May God bless you always. â€ïžâ€ïžđđ
I hope this makes it with in the first hour!! So 2 questions: are we using primer under our eyes? And how did you get your dark circles to fade from last year? Your videos are amazing!
I always love seeing how you contour. You blend it with your foundation so that itâs not obvious but very effective. So many people run around with unblended stripes that I wish they wouldnât use bronzer or contour at all.
THANK YOU!! I've always been confused about this; even more so when color correcting products are thrown into the mix. As usual, you make it so clear. Brilliant!! đ

This video was amazingly helpful. I am a minimalist when it comes to make up and have always felt concealer wasnât necessary, but now you have me wanting to buy 3 different shades lol Thank you đđŸ đ

Dear Smitha, today your video/make up education has helped me a lot. I had ordered a light concealer as per my skin and was wondering if i needed a darker shade. đą
Smitha, I love you & your channel so much! Iâm always getting informative information from you! If only I could make myself practice like I should so I could really learn how to apply my makeup, I know it would make me feel so much better about myself!! Thank you Smitha for all that you do for all of us that love your channel so much!! You are truly an amazing makeup artist!!â€â€â€
I like to use the highlighter concealer pens to brighten around the face but I use concealer other than that in the way that you described. Another thing is that I dot every other dot with a lighter or radiant concealer and the every other dot with a skin tone match or darker shade for every other dot just under the eyes. This works great! Thanks for the video!
Smitha, I love your tutorials! They are clear and easy to understand. My question is, how can I know which concealer shade is right for me? Please help as this has been I always struggle with. Thank you and again I love your content.
Just came across ur channel and have recently started following you. Just Loving ur content. I wanted to learn make up since a long time. So happy that I came across ur channel. Finally, i will be able to learn make up.

Thanks for this useful, informative & great sharing đ I always use perfect match concealer everyday to cover my dark spots & under eye, so it doesn't look too much make-up on my skin
You mentioned that you had darker circles previously. What did you do to lighten them? Dark circles run in my family so I would love to know your secret
I had severe iron deficiency, so as I got treated for it, my dark circles also reduced. I also had poor sleep habits, I improved that. The only other thing is I've been working out and drinking a gallon of water atleast.

Any suggestions/tips would be beyond appreciated. Thank you in advance
