Wow, I was told to use yellow or green??? They always showed through… I will go and buy the peach.I. Bless You!!!!!!! I'm sooo glad I clicked on u!!!
Omg! Using a light eyeshadow to set & brighten the undereye area?! Genius!!!! Iโll have to try that. Thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks alot . It was helpfull.๐
Hi Marlena, I have super dark circles. They're purple and have haunted me for my entire life. I use the orange stuff and concealer but my makeup wears off and the darkness seeps through. Should I be using a loose powder instead of a pressed powder?
Nice try. But your circles aren't even dark! I have dark circles and have tried orange/ salmon. I blended n I could see the orange concealer. ๐
This is a great tutorial & I think it's great that you use a blend of high & low dollar products.
Mines are darker and harder to conceal ๐ฅ
Wow thanks so much for this video! I'm new to make up and this makes it seem so much less daunting! I've been skipping 2 steps this whole time! Running out to get some orange concealer tomorrow!!
http://www.boots.com/en/Rimmel-London-Lasting-Finish-Concealer_1669710/ This covers my dark circles perfectly.
I don't use foundation bit would need a dark peach or orange maybe.. so I'm not sure how tht would blend as well.. one question if you can plz answer is if we're using all this stuff then we go back to the brightening part after the last 3 steps already , then powder, what do we do about the fine lines or just lines some of us have? is it wise to do all these steps? and then powder to top it off?
Thank you so much for this! I have always had this issue and all the other methods of concealing never seemed to help.
The tips she is providing are actually good and accurate but I wouldn't call these dark circles "dark circles"… This is a great video though!!!
"Natural makeup for dark circles" can you do that please?
Honestly my dark circles r darker
Thanks for the tip Marlena… I try this but I have heavy set lines under my eyes and they just cant be concealed…
this method works ! i have been using eve pearl and maybelline fit me concealer ( i have used numerous concealers including bobbi brown ). thank you marlena for such a great tutorial ! i have learnt how to wear make up from your videos. keep up the good work ! love and prayers from a pakistani fan.
i love this so much
OMG yes I have finally found a youtuber with pretty much the same dark circles as me! I've tried everything to make them go lighter (with out make up) but they won't go so it must be in my genes….
under eye wrinkles?
my mum has a different and easier way
+spicy marie: I have bad circles too, I use milani medium, and cover girl jus to cover dark eyes. and I still use full coverage foundation.. makeup forever..
Wow, I had no idea you broke 1M. I've never looked actually. Either way, I'm really happy for you!
Old video, but somehow I missed this one. Loved your tips. Happy Holidays!!! Xoxo. Tammy
Great technique! Your under eye circles aren't that bad at all. ๐
Wish my under eyes looked like yours!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !!!!!!
you look waaaaay younger without makeup on!
You're beautiful without makeup! But i have some eye circles as well and understand the struggle of people asking what happened to my eye when i don't wear concealer! Great tips thanks
Gwuurrrrllllll byeeee. Marlena I love u, but since hardly got no damn dark circles. U don't even know what dark circles is! U have baby circles lol my circles r 10x that and shows thru my make up. And that whole peach orange corrector thing? Nope tried that. Didn't work. I actually have red/ruddy-brown dark circles not purple blue. I tried green correctors, plus foundation, plus concealer and my circles still show thru,
Cool video and thanks

It is funny how makeup is different on people sometimes. I bought the Cover Fx and it is just sitting in my makeup bag because it looked HORRENDOUS on me. I worse it three different days and it came off patchy after maybe 4 hours.
I used to be very concerned about my genetic dark circles. Tried many things until one day I saw a salesperson at Jcpenney. She had dark circles under her eyes, but somehow they were making her look extremely pretty. They complemented the shade she was wearing. Next time I saw her again and realized that dark circles can enhance beauty. I am no more very concerned about mine unless its a photo shoot.
My dark circles are wayyyy darker then yours and even when I put on concealer it still shows and it makes me so insecure because nothing I do covers it. It always looks so weird and noticeable cause one eye is fully cover and the other isn't. Any tips?
You look much younger without makeup on
you exude such positive energy! and thank you for these tips! God bless
Ok, so this is probably a stupid question, but I noticed you mentioned "if you guys don't wear foundation…" Normally, I would think if one isn't wearing foundation, then you're not putting on ANY makeup, other than perhaps mascara, because everything else without foundation seems to look off. But, in this video we're talking about putting on concealers and such, so I'm wondering what options would one have if one didn't want to wear foundation. I've been looking into weaning off wearing foundation so I'm curious, but pressed powder by itself seems to make me look dusty or ashy… maybe that's just me (or bad luck with products), though. Great videos, by the way!
Thank you for this tip, standard tips dont work on me either.
try Derma C and Lumera and you will be satisfied. I had black circle with bags under my eyes. I found on Youtube one article with these creams. If I can be honest i don't trust to any cream, but it was long time ago when i tried something do with my skin. So I bought on Ebay and it's perfect. Thank you
Great tip!!,,, do you know of any tip like this for erasing under eye bags and puffiness ?
Thanks
Girl, I feel like I can always rely on you for professional and well made tutorials when I need one! Love! Thank you!!
