How I Conceal My Dark Circles Annnd Prevent Creasing!

guys welcome back to my channel if you're new my name is Alex uh today I'm going to be using my dark circles for good I'm going to be showing you how I conceal my dark circles without creasing okay creasing is like the bane of my existence I have an extremely simple new technique that I think I mentioned in like a few of my most recent videos and I know that a lot of you wanted me to share it so that's what we're going to do today speaking of creasing we need to talk under eye wrinkles okay the skin underneath our eyes is so incredibly delicate and I am a person who has had Hollow under eyes and like I would say crepy under eye skin for a very long time so if I just give you like a real deep Zoom real quick you can kind of see that underneath my eyes I obviously have a lot of Darkness you know um and there are a lot of things that contribute to that that we will discuss but I also have a lot of just like naturally occurring creases in my anatomy so like when I turn like this you can kind of see that like my under eye it just really Contours under here and I have like I got a lot of lines I got a lot of lines okay I don't hate them but I got them it's the truth so if we're talking creasing if we're talking under eye wrinkles real quick I'm going to switch gears this portion of the video is sponsored by sleep and glow sleep and glow the Omni pillow okay um I have been using this pillow I've been sleeping on this pillow every single night I can't even remember when tfirst sent it to me it was years ago at this point at least three years ago every single night I sleep on this pillow for those of you who don't know I had under eye filler like years ago and the filler it was a major mistake the under eye filler for me was a massive mistake um and it's it just didn't address a lot of the problems that I was having having from sleeping when you sleep you put your head into a pillow and your whole face is just like mushed into that pillow the Omni pillow does not do that that it Contours to your face so that when and it keeps your neck in like a comfortable and correct position so that you're comfortable your face is not falling into the pillow it's not being smooshed but it gently like cor it like caresses your face so that your under eye basically your entire face is nice and elevated it's elevated from the pillow it's just kind of like just like hugs you right here so that your face is not mushed into the pillow and it prevents you from waking up with those like deep lines in your face if you're a face sleeper like a stomach sleeper you know exactly what I'm talking about I am one of those people okay so that is number one that's number one when you're sleeping if you're waking up in the morning and you have all of these lines around your eyes or like in other areas of your face uh you're going to get creasing in those lines you know and cosmetic procedures like filler are not going to address the smooshing it's not going to address the smooshing okay so the orthopedic structure of the Omni pillow from sleep and glow is going to to prevent you from waking up with those lines so that's step one okay you got to start you got to you got to wake up with steps already taken care of all right you just go to bed and you're good okay if you're interested I highly recommend I'll have everything linked down below I've literally I think I've talked about it quite a bit but I sleep on it every single night and it's amazing um so after that after you have you know been taking care of your skin at night because one thing I will say um um doesn't matter what skin care you're using at night if you have your face like all mushed up in your pillow so once you've invested in protecting the delicate areas of your face I.E your under eyes one of the next things that I always talk about is hydration okay so hydration prep skin prep looks different for a lot of different people it's a very personal thing it could be as simple as using a moisturizer it could be a primer that you're obsessed with it could be an under eye cream it it could be a serum okay there's going to it could be um like those under eye masks what I want you to consider is am I prepping at all okay cuz if you're not prepping at all and then you put your concealer on you're going to get creasing no matter what the second part of that over prepping Wayne Goss has an amazing video um I think it's like geared towards uh preventing creasing especially for like mature skin and he talks so much about like just layering layering your moisture but something that you really need to keep in mind and I believe and he definitely says it in that video you need to let it absorb okay you need to give your skin time to soak up that moisture okay so you cannot take like a super thick moisturizer or eye cream or primer put it on and then immediately apply your concealer you can't do it you're going to get creasing it's going to mix it's going to mix it's going to be too wet when you go in with your setting powder it's just going to like coagulate it's going to be disgusting okay so either you're making the time to apply all of those layers and if you really don't have the time then you want to make sure that you're using a very moisturizing concealer so it's kind of about like finding that balance in your products I woke up late I don't have time my under eyes are dry I'm going to go in with my moisturize with my regular face moisturizer to apply maybe a teeny bit more underneath my eyes and then go in with a hydrating concealer so you got homework okay this is up to you I don't have all of the answers for you but I can give you the tools to try and figure out what might work best for you recently for me my like overall color correcting concealing and setting technique is essentially exactly the same the difference is I was doing my Foundation doing my concealer then doing my cream contour and my cream bronzer and my Cream Blush while my concealer was just sitting underneath my eyes and then I would go in with my sponge make sure it was Blended out and set and I couldn't understand why I kept getting creasing I would get creasing I would get creasing and I was trying to adjust everything else so you'll notice that right now I have essentially a full face of makeup I'm very I'm wearing very light natural amount um I have foundation on I have bronzer contour and a little bit of blush I have been saving my concealer for my last step in my creams I have my nose Contour on I have everything going okay so my under eyes are nicely hydrated the skin is looking healthy uh I am going to go through the steps one by one just like I always would except I'm doing them at the end of all of the other creams so no powders no powders on my face yet so I'm going to use my La girl Pro conceal color corrector uh I have been rather than just kind of like swiping it on I've been putting a little bit on the back of my hand this is in the shade light
