A BEAUTY guru in his late 40s is impressed with a Fenty product that smoothes crepey skin around the eyes.
She candidly shared that she had previously struggled to avoid creases under her eyes when applying makeup.
Erica Taylor (@ericataylor2347) has over 1.4 million followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty tips.
The makeup artist of over 25 years was excited as she held up a product she had recently found.
“If you have trouble with under-eye concealers creasing, I found something for us,” she said.
“I apologize in advance for making you spend your money and if you don't want to buy it, you might as well just scroll.
“But if you have wrinkles under your eyes and don't know what to apply before applying concealer, this is the Fenty Beauty Flash Nap,” she said, holding up the product.
Erica revealed that she found the eye gel cream after visiting a recently opened Sephora location.
She browsed the shelves hoping to find a beauty product that offered something 'different' than anything she already owned.
“In the morning I noticed that my eyes looked like crab scabs, like a crusting, mummification around the eyes.

“I'm 47 and I wasn't into it, so I was like, let me scroll the wall and find something new.
“It's an eye cream gel, but it's made as a great prep for under concealer.
“I'm testing it out today, get a little closer,” she said, zooming into her eyes.
“It didn't play, okay.
“I applied this first, before my concealer. It immediately feels cooling and soothing.”
Erica used her fingers to apply the Fenty Beauty Flash Nap Instant Revival Priming Eye Gel Cream, which costs $44 at Sephora.
She then applied Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Longwear Liquid Concealer, which retails for $30 from the retailer.
“I still did my regular eye treatment first,” she said. “For me, I use this in preparation for a concealer.
“I've been experimenting with the Fenty Beauty concealer, which I like, but I think this eye prep would work with any of your concealers.
“It blended, it smoothed it and it had a real blurring effect,” she raved about the eye gel cream.
Erica said she still gets texture around her eyes when she smiles, but the product doesn't settle into the skin.
She predicted it would sell out because it is so effective at reducing under-eye wrinkles in mature skin.
More than 13,500 people liked the video and hundreds of viewers indicated in the comments section that they would try the products for themselves.
“I just started ordering after seeing this,” one person wrote.
“Dammit Erica! You never hurt me, I think I'm spending money! another commented.
“Fenty Beauty products always impress me,” said a third.
“Girl, you keep Sephora going! I can't wait to try it,” another added.
