I forgot to add to …
I forgot to add to the comment above: once you’ve applied concealer, it’s essential to set it with powder. I recommend translucent powder applied lightly with a brush.
You can alleviate …
You can alleviate this problem by moisturizing the eye area well and then applying a face primer like Smashbox Photo Finish. This smooths out the skin by filling in the fine lines so concealer doesn’t settle in them when you apply. Also, try warming the concealer by rubbing it between two fingers before applying.
I have the same …
I have the same problem. Try holding down your lashes gently with the stem of a Q-tip, it works well for me. =)
Such a great …
Such a great informative video, I think that I would have ticked ALL these boxes.. well, except for foundation shade or blending eyeshadow, but yeah. Thank you so much

haha yeah I guess i tend to be louder when I’m not applying liquid liner or something like that
I don’t know if …
I don’t know if maybe you just get more excited but I noticed that you than to sound more aggressive and a little loud when you’re not doing makeup tutorials… like in videos like this one. ;D
First I want to say …
First I want to say I love watching your videos! Second I was wondering, I have really dark under eye circles and I know you like the Bobbie Brown concealer, but Neutrogena now makes a cream concealer with the setting powder and it is kinda packaged the same way as the Bobbi Brown. I was wondering if you have ever tried that and if so if it is comparable to the Bobbi Brown? I have the neutrogena one but not the Bobbi Brown and I really need to find a good concealer.
you’re amazing!
you’re amazing!
Thank you so much …
Thank you so much for your suggestion on the Bobbi Brown concealer with powder. I bought it on thursday and tried it on today. It works great, it covers very well. It was difficult picking the colour, but I got advice fron the girl at the shop. The only problem was that it creases a bit as the day goes through, so you have to soften it with your finger from time to time. I think it was a good investement, even though the jar was 33 euros here, in Spain.
omg i just wanna …
omg i just wanna say that i tried doing the cut the lashes in half thing and IT WORKED! U ARE A GENIOUS! THANKS
can you do a video …
can you do a video on cutting the eyelashes and putting them on
you’re too funny

Many drugstores …
Many drugstores have an excellent return policy
if the product isn’t quite right and will do their best to make sure u are happy and satisfied w/the product
…a satisfied customer is inevitably a return customer
Oh, also those …
Oh, also those liquid liner ‘pens’ are annoying becasue they don’t really apply well over base/shadow. It is important to point that out, I think. A good gel or liquid liner is a much better option…
Setting the …
Setting the concealer w/ powder doesnt cause it to settle into fine lines?? That’s my concern…I have noticed that when I smile or laugh, my concealer slightly settles into those lines…I really don’t want to be stoney’ faced to keep my concealer nice. Haha.
ur makeup looks …
ur makeup looks especially pretty in this video!
i loved the …
i loved the disclaimer box - warning! soapbox. lol
should you still …
should you still set undereye concealer? Because whenever i do that it just look like I have wrinkles & goes into any line I have so should I just get a new powder? Or is that always going to happen no matter what powder I choose?
your teeth look …
your teeth look really white!
