Does anyone else get more product info from Amanda's declutters than most influencers' entire reviews?

[BrookeInProgress]

Just to add a bit of a dissenting opinion for anyone who may find it helpful: I also have hollow under eyes, and I find the NYX Bare With Me concealer to work just as well as the Kosas Revealer! I actually much prefer the NYX because it’s much more affordable (obviously) and because it doesn’t go bad quickly like the Kosas.

It's a little spooky how this video came out JUST as I was thinking about it. You're my #1 reference for me for concealers. So excited!

[kellyribeiro]

I’m Indian and our skin tones don’t even match but I live for these videos! So well explained and executed, I learn so much . Thank you <3

I'm a light medium asian skin tone so for me it's actual dark circles due to genetics rather than hollowness, so I am always looking for super high coverage camouflage level concealers. The NARS soft matte, ABH magic concealer, Pat Mcgrath and Huda Faux filter are the concealers so far that have covered my dark circles really well, especially if I use a colour corrector. I want to try the new Urban decay one next

WARNING: THIS COMMENT WILL BE LONG 😊

For those with mild under eye darkness, it might be good to use a light-reflective formula that's a shade lighter than your skin to brighten up the area, but for those dealing with a very obvious tear trough or that hollowness under the eyes, a light reflecting formula will only emphasize the hollowness more and therefore make it look darker. It’s common sense, really. Remember, light and shade. And let’s be real, an overly light or bright undereye is so obvious and looks so unnatural. Definitely not a good look in real life. Maybe on camera, with the help of filters and camera tricks, but not in real life. Because we can see, we can definitely see.

Unfortunately, I’m one of those unlucky ones that have the very deep tear troughs, very thin under eye skin that make my purple veins very visible AND dry undereye skin. Great! So.. In as much as no one wants dry crusty looking undereyes, I still haven’t found an emolient concealer that does the trick.

For hollowness, matte works best in reducing that shading caused by the ridges under the eyes. As I’m not fond of "setting", “baking” or even patting powder over my concealer, as I find it always ends up caking to some degree, I use the slightest powder by using a duo-fibre brush over it just to get rid of the shine.

If your problem is dry undereye and that’s why you’re looking for an “emollient” or “hydrating” (I find influencers over-using this term funny because there is no such thing in makeup unless it’s has skincare or it’s dewy or glossy. Maybe using “non-drying” is better?), try upping your skincare game instead. Spending more on skincare than on the never ending search for the perfect concealer is far beneficial now and in the long run. Personally, I have given up on the search. I now concentrate more on skincare which helped heaps in my undereye problem. I figured, if I can’t get rid of it (as I’m not planning on having fillers or whatnot), I might as well work on having good skin to work on. This way, I use less product and cakeiness/crepeiness is significantly reduced. I don’t put a lot under the concealer though. I do my skincare at night or if I’m super “dry” under the eyes, I do it way before makeup and remove most of it before my undereye routine.

For a heavy duty, high coverage concealer, I just use my trusty ol’ Tarte Shape Tape —because medium coverage just won’t cut it for me. And, yes, I get no dryness! I heard the Huda Beauty FauxFilter Concealer is just as good, if not better, so I might try that when I use up my TSTs.

Oh, and the Becca Eye Brightening Corrector works for me, too! It doesn’t do much help in the actual darkness caused by my veins, but I find that its texture helps in reducing dryness that the matte concealer may cause occasionally for me. It does not add shine or make the shine come though the concealer too much which I prefer. Any shine caused by sweat, humidity or whatnot may again be dusted off ever so sllghtly with the duo-fibre brush and tiny amount of powder.

Happy Concealing! 💕

Another girl with hollow and dark under eyes here 🙋‍♀️ the smashbox corrector + either the nars pot concealer or the too faced born this way multiuse concealer have been by go to combos. Makes a big difference! Also a little bit of filler doesn’t hurt 😅

[deonrhodes]

My favorite concealer of all time is Maybelline fit me! Recently I have been loving the NYX bare with me. For more full coverage I love the hourglass vanish airbrush concealer.

[Meow-Meow]

You taught me how to deal with my hollow eyes. I never understood hollowness until I found your channel.

[gentleeyes]

I think it was one of your videos that turned me on to Glossier Stretch and it is my favorite. The only one that doesn't look cakey, yet still covers and lightens and reflects, plus it's easy to apply!

[VariAndreaDK]

Can’t wait for the video on concealing under eye hollowness 🤩 I have been struggling with that for so long

[Tina-qbrx]

I just used the Becca corrector for inner corner highlight like you mentioned and I'm amazed! What a revelation!

[marielle]

I have watched your channel before, but not seeing you, only your hands, makes me pay attention to your voice more. And what do you know! What a lovely, calming voice! This was a very relaxing video.

[firantis]

As I have dry skin and powder never looks good on my skin. Please do this series on powder. It could be loose or pressed powder. Your opinion is ❤

[magpiesneedle]

So much detail. You work so hard to provide such information while always making sure that a lot of these products may be getting decluttered because they don’t work for YOU but they may be good for others and you detail why.

[lisaakh]

As I've gotten older my preferences for concealer have changed a lot so I'm super excited for this video! Declutters are so soothing as well haha kinda like ASMR for me. Thank you for the amazing content as always!

[SharrellKline]

I'm glad to see the Undone concealer popping up. I discovered it in the spring of 2018, and it's taken this long for me to start hearing people mention it. At the same time, I purchased their blush (in pink) which is also a cream (very ahead of its time), and I've been wearing and enjoying both for the past five years.

[jlb]

Your complexion product reviews are ALWAYS helpful. As your skin twin, with hooded hollow eyes, I LIVE for your reviews! Absolutely love you Amanda! ❤

[maryarmstrong]

The NYX concealer is my foundation most days. I use it like I use the salt sneaky balm. It’s great that way!

[starbyheart]

I didnt think the armani luminous concealer was even close to the saie or kosas. Saie looked greasy on me and kosas would dry out my undereyes (even though I have oily skin) but the armani is my favorite concealer ever. I use it all the time and I had way better luck with that one than the others.
