    “Bring the light back to where there is darkness” I love the make up advice and also reminds me of the last sermon at church 🙂

    Elle, sorry so lengthy but I felt compelled to share. Since I've been watching your videos, I've learned a lot about my skin, how to care for it and combat certain issues that I wish I could correct but only non invasively. I am older than you are but you provide information in a way that translates to me and my circumstance. We all have our calling in life and you have found yours so, thank you for that. I too have bags and have tried this technique in the past but, due to extreme crepiness under my eyes, struggled with getting it right. I feel like I try it again now. After trying so many eye creams and fighting milia, I finally broke down and purchased the Bobby Brown Extra Eye Repair and used it literally every night since the beginning of January. It's pricey ($85) but, I still have more than half the jar and It has helped quite a bit. I did still have some stubborn crepiness in the lower inner corners though. In June, I purchased a 4 piece set of Tatcha on QVC because I couldn't pass up the price ($135) for bundle that included all full sizes of The essence, Rice polish, Ageless enriching renewal cream and Ageless renewal eye cream. Both Ageless products sat untouched until late August as I used up the last of my Tatcha water cream and IT bye bye under eye cream that I use in the mornings. The Ageless products have blown me away. The face cream is my new favorite and I don't see myself going back to their water cream BUT! the Ageless eye cream? Even more AMAZING!!! I saw an immediate improvement after one application and, after only using it for a couple of weeks, my under eye crepiness is almost completely gone. I work in an office where I see the same clients every few weeks and I have been complimented on my skin and asked what I have done. What? It's not just in my head or wishful thinking? That sealed it. For me, definitely worth the $$$. Keep in mind, I don't write reviews, I'm not normally product loyal and I especially don't comment on you CZcams :) I have appreciated honest feedback from you and your viewers in my quest to find what will work for me and just wanted to finally give back a little myself. Blessings, Kathy in AZ

      I have what I call very hooded eyes and used to use just one medium shade of color,make it a little darker in crease and softer on lid and upper part of my eye. You've taught me to layer colors and I play around with make up now to break the boredom. I'm disabled due to a back injury and can no longer work. I am having so much fun learning new techniques from you and about different skin care ( I was veey slack about it in my younger days) Ive started morning and night skin care and the difference is AMAZING. Again thank you for what you do and kiss that sweet little girl of yours for me. You are truly a beautiful person!

  • @carolferguson5467
    @carolferguson5467 Před 6 lety +6

    Hi Elle, I've been researching this subject as I make organic skin care products. Instead of just covering the problem, their are solutions to completely get rid of dark circles and or puffy eyes. For dark circles purchase a facial clay made of Bentonite clays. They come in several different types such as Rhassoul clay or French Green clay but they are all Bentonite clays. These clays are electrically charged and should be mixed with distilled water and never mix them with metal as you loose the electrical charge. Make a mud mask and place it in the areas you'd like to lighten for 20 minutes. Rinse and apply organic coffee oil consisting of either olive oil or jojoba oil.
    If it's just puffiness your dealing with then just the coffee oil will do it. These coffee oils are made of raw non-roasted coffee and are very effective in tightening the skin.
    If there is anyone here who would like to know more about what is causing the darkness, let me know.

    Elle - great video! Have a bag on the side I sleep on and I'm trying to sleep on my back but it's easier said than done. I am nearly 60 so it may be too late but thanks to you and my skin regimen this past year, I can use concealer again! Thank you for all your help! My ride or die is (other than Retin A) is Bye Bye Undereye and it feels amazing and really helped my fine lines under my eyes. No one can tell me that an eye cream is useless because it has allowed the surface to accept concealer which was a source of great stress for me. Thank you love!! ❣️❣️

    I have inherited dark purplish blue circles, and I have a deep tear trough...double whammy! For my fair/light mature thin skin, I’m loving the Tarte CC color corrector in the lighter shade. Only takes a little tapped in with ring finger and really works. So much so that I’ve forgotten to follow up with concealer (it’s rare, but has happened!). Thanks as always for such a detailed video.

    @juliagem7267 Před 5 lety

    Thank you! I almost didn’t watch this, only bc I deal with very dark circles, and raccoon style at that!! So I do look for women doing make up tutorials with truly dark circles. I did like the less is more idea! And I like your tips - but I BET that you would turn heads WITHOUT your make up on, the way you were in the beginning. I did notice after the Bobby Brown primer, your skin did have a nice radiance as you said, but that’s it! You lOOK BEAUTIFUL JUST like THAT! Again, I think if you were seen out and about exactly like that, you would turn heads MORE than what you looked like at the end of this video. And that, my dear, is a major compliment! Thank you again! 💖🌟👏👏👏

Being more strategic with placement might take a bit more time but I definitely see a difference.

    @vixxcelacea2778 Před 3 lety

    Color wheel is your friend with trying to fix pigmentation. Yellow cancels purple and green cancels red. But each person will have a specific variant so you need to find something of a similar tone/saturation. You could also have more blue than purple, which means an orange one would work better.
    If you are ever in doubt, just remember that it's about opposites. Yellow is opposite of purple because purple is made of red and blue, so the last primary is the opposite color (hair color dye/toners also work this way) Green is blue and yellow, so it's opposite of red. Orange is red and yellow so it's counter is blue. If you have a purpley blue bags, go for a slightly orange toned yellow.

    Really enjoyed this!! I am about to turn 49 and haven't been wearing makeup for many years because of menopause and all the sweating that comes with hot flashes. So, i feel that im relearning how to best correct my dark circles and wrinkles without so much makeup. I've never been one to use a lot of makeup so this is a challenge for me. I am Puerto Rican so my skin is more tan, but you really made me realize that as long as i find the right products for my skin the technique is the same. Lol, im just not used to seeing makeup on my skin. I like a very natural look in a short amount of time.
    Thank you and will continue to watch you and learn more from you!!

    Thanks Elle! Tried the long version under one eye, then tried Mabelline age rewind neutralizer and then age rewind illuminator on the other. Mabelline won, Bags Down!!! Also, my favorite setting powder is e.l.f.sheer translucent loose powder. It is the ONLY one from top powders that doesn’t make me look crepey under my eyes. I am 56 with normal to dry skin. I also have been using, per your recommendation, the It cosmetics Bye Bye under eye cream and it is now my go to twice a day. Does not give me the white bumps so many creams and oils do. Thanks for all you do for us here! Kathy

    Love love love this so much. I was right there with you Elle and working on "my canvas" as you were giving out the tips. It really does look like there's more makeup when those imperfections are hidden. But my skin feels better with less on. Thank you for mentioning that part!

    Sorry for the long comment, but I have to say..this works! I've been doing this for yrs. I find using light layers & letting the concealer "set" a moment before blending is key. I have crepey undereyes & large hereditary bags. My skin tone is "light/med." with a neutral undertone. My dark under eye comes mostly from the shadow created by the bags (you can tell by pulling the eye bag skin taught & look at the discoloration once the area is smoothed). The key here is the highlighter! The light reflecting pigments really help minimize that shadow. I currently use the Maybelline instant age rewind concealers in "neutralizer" and "highlighter". The right pen highlighter is amazing too! I first lightly apply & blend the neutralizer under my eyes-only where I need it. Then, using a sm. precise concealer brush, I again lightly apply the neutralizer ONLY where the shadow/dark "line" is & blend by tapping with my finger. Using the same brush, apply the Highlighter concealer around the eye wherever you see a shadow. Blend and repeat in light layers if needed, until you are satisfied. I set with a tiny bit of powder. Sounds like a lot but it's invisible and natural looking if done correctly! Thanks for all your great videos Elle, you are awesome!

    Thanks for this in-depth how to vid on this very common issue for all who suffer with discoloration which I do as well. When I began playing with color correcting not just my undereyes but all my spread out facial melasma I did realize I wasn't used to seri g such a flawless face staring back in my mirror 😛 then after playing a few times with different undertone correctors it became easier to get used to. We can play with so many products in the market now that no matter what ur issue is there are plenty low and high end products to choose from as u pointed out. Just by watching your transformation as you went from zero & gave us your appkication process had certainly given me other options to try. Thanks again for your awesome content and that beautiful smile that always cheers us on to try new ways to improve our make up application techniques. Loved it.😘

    💐Thanks 🙏 so much for your insight and expertise and willingness to share these beautiful techniques with us! I don’t have an Elle’s Beauty Book either, but I guarantee I will be getting a tablet next trip to town. Fantastic idea for those of us that are not quite so talented, but who love 💕 learning about makeup and its application! I have both dark circles and under eye bags so is going to my favorite file. Have a wonderful week 💄💋❣️

    I actually use this technique for my circles.. It works better once I learned to pull down not out and up. Makeup artistry has come a long way with more things than when I did it in the salon. We didn't have all these tools to work with. No such thing as a beauty blender back in the day. LOL Gosh if I knew you were in MI I would have taken you out to lunch. I am in MI. Good Video , Barb

    🙌🙌 ty ty so much!! I really appreciate all of your wisdom, research and intelligence. I could just kiss you 😘.This area has been a nightmare for me this last year. Born with with shadowy deep set eyes, Dark circles & now bags, Sahara dryness, texture, and fine lines!! WHYYY 😖LOL. I had my process down with age rewind for years and then the area up and just changed! I've tried so many creams, correctors, concealers, and powders. I'm still looking for the right products (anything you would recommend) but I know this is the solution!!! YAY!! 🎉 I'm so excited to be part of the #Lsquad (YES! totally in for the stationary.. What about a set or even 1 w/tabs so they are broken down into different areas and of course 1 volume for makeup and 1 for skincare 😉)!!! I'm so sorry I will shut up now but I just couldn't help myself. You inspired me. Have a great night. 💖✨

    Hi Elle, I am sitting here mesmerised with my little notebook taking copious notes LOL. This was such an informative video. I have always felt challenged about color correction and also what to do when I have the occasional under-eye bag or discoloration under my eye. Thank you so much for taking the time and explaining everything in your wonderful way. You always manage to break everything down in a way that I can understand. Thank you so much and thank you for suggesting products. I loved this video. As always thank you for sharing your personal experiences. PS - I would so buy an Elle note-book! Thank you again. XOXO

    Thank you so much for posting this today! I really needed this and have been searching for a "real life look" to help lessen my dark circles and the way youve demonstrated this is perfect!!! Throughout my research online and in stores, everyone always recommends a heavy concealer and it always looks unnatural and just cakey! So thank you again for your opinion and video! You've opened my eyes to new ideas and given med a little hope and slightly better confidence in my own looks. Again, thank you!
