This also includes Kalondia Casey’s three-step routine for “mature skin”.
The certified makeup artist, 63, shared a tutorial to beat under-eye bags.
“I’ve found my trifecta for hydrating my skin, correcting the color of my under-eyes and concealing the bags under the eyes that plague us as grown women,” she said.
“First we need to treat the skin under our eyes.”

Kalondia, from Texas, US, uses the Ilia Bright Start Retinol Alternative Brightening Eye Cream, which costs £47 for 15ml.
The product’s formulators claim that it “provides the benefits of retinol without the disadvantages.”
Clinically proven to reduce dark circles, puffiness and fine lines, with the light-reflecting pearls inside providing instant brightening while the active ingredients work over time.
“Secondly, let’s camouflage dark skin with a color corrector with a peach undertone to tackle the dark shadows under our eyes,” Kalondia continued.
She uses the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Correcting Concealer, which costs £32 for 7 grams.
It’s available in over 50 shades in different undertones, meaning there’s guaranteed to be a shade that will neutralize your under eye shadow.
“Finally, we now hide those bags with concealer,” Kalondia concluded.
The mature beauty wonder uses the Kulfi Main Match Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Concealer – and calls it her “holy grail”.
A 5ml tube costs £20, but you have to order it from the US, so it will probably be more expensive once shipping and customs are paid.
Kalondia said the products are “a game changer for her under eye problems.”
Another option for under-eye problems are gel patches.
Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Kim Kardashian has seen them used to smooth wrinkles and defeat dark circles.
The comma-shaped mini masks are infused with serums to target under your sockets.
Their occlusive layer prevents moisture from escaping through evaporation, ensuring your skin absorbs every last molecule of product.
