'The Undereye Thread' concealers, and tips that you must know !

[makeupgal]

Using a good eye cream and concealer. If you are dry around the eyes it is important to use an eye cream under concealer otherwise you may run into it looking more dry and or cakey. I love Sisleys Eye Baum and Lancome effercenes concelear. The eye baum is a little pricey but I truley have noticed a difference since i have been using it morning and night for 2 months now, Darkness has faded and really helps with hydrationa and puffiness. Also you can use it as an eye mask, put it on really heavy all over the eyes on the lids. You can put it in the fridge too before putting it on if you have had a late night and feel extra puffy.
Go to any Sisley Counter and they will give you samples.
The concelaer I love because its just so creamy,
Hope this helps....

Even though im an Image Consultant,i personally don't wear a lot of make-up, just lipstick and mascara. I have seen the YSL Touche Eclat continuously, but i guess im too embarrassed to go and ask.

I will put away my bashfulness and ask you guys

what exactly is this touche eclat and what does it do?

 

[makeupgal]

The Touche Eclat is a great product. It looks like a brush pen, you click the bottom and out of the brush it comes. It comes in 3 shades, shade 1 is the most shade eveyone wears, its hightlights and brightens, Its a liitle light for me so i will use it first then put my concealer shade on top because it really helps to lighten the darkness. No. 2 is like a beige color and no. 3 is darker beige color. IF your confused on which color when you see them, no. 1.
Hope this helps. Let me know how you like if you try it.

Does anyone know of anything that does the trick for dark undereye circles, but with a bit of a sheen or sparkle to it to brighten it up?

 

[makeupgal]

Laura Mercier just came out with 2 new products, one is a pen just like the touche Eclat from ysl but very sheer and a little sparkle , then there is a setting powder to set with, it has sparkle and feels like cashmere! It is really cool. Definatlly Check it out. I believe its called Secret Brightner and Secret Brightining Powder.

It is not really a concealer to conceal, more just to highlight and brighten. Its really cool though, you have to check it out.!

I'm using the Clarins eye gel for dark circles and puffiness.
I find it pretty effective for minor puffiness due to lack of sleep or something.
I use it every morning and if my eyes are puffy, this gel usually minimizes the puffs within 10 minutes. but I don't think it'd work for aging kind of puffiness.
if it's puffiness due to age, I'd suggest something with firming effect. the new (golden color) Estee Lauder ultimate eye cream would be a good choice I guess.

I use touche éclat every day, but when it's reaaally bad I use the concealer from the La Prairie caviar foundation (it has concealer on top) I never had anything better!

i love touche eclat..it works wonders

hi, if anyone is having trouble with the laura mercia(sp) sc. concealer put your eye cream on them the sc or mix the two shades of sc in the palm of your hand with your eye cream, for thoughs that can use YSL pen you do not really need any heavy coverage like sc stay away from and go with a ligher form of con.
