“Whether we like it or not, as we age, the skin under our eyes becomes more fragile and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear,” the mother of three explained at the beginning of the video.
“When we use a powder to set our under-eye makeup, it actually accentuates those fine lines and wrinkles, creating a more cakey, defined texture.”
Fortunately, however, Reimer had a clever solution to the problem.
She recommended using a setting spray to set your under-eye makeup instead of a loose powder.
“Take a dampened (sponge) and gently spray it with your setting spray,” she explained, doing the step with her own makeup sponge and spray.
‘Then go in carefully and tap this under (your) eyes.’
The beauty guru showed viewers exactly how she did that step, twisting the sponge to fit the skin under her eyes perfectly.
“What this is going to do is remove excess product and ensure that the makeup lasts all day,” Reimer explained.
The makeup expert explained that the skin under our eyes becomes more fragile as we age, and applying under-eye concealer with powder can only accentuate the wrinkles.
Instead, Reimer said you should use a setting spray to set makeup under the eyes. She recommended spraying a setting spray onto a makeup sponge and applying it that way

“What this is going to do is remove excess product and allow the makeup to last all day,” Reimer explained of the setting spray technique.
‘See the difference?’ she asked, showing her face.
To demonstrate the contrast, Reimer used her index finger to pull down under-eye hair and test the makeup.
On her left under eye, which was dusted with powder, the wrinkles and creases seemed to be more noticeable than on her right eye, which looked smooth and supple thanks to the setting spray trick.
In the comments section, one person even admitted that the trick “changed their life.”
“This TikTok has changed my life,” the user wrote.
‘No lie. Thank you.’
Another agreed: ‘Oohhh great idea!!!’
However, Reimer isn’t the only one who has shared a version of this hack on TikTok.
In November, makeup and beauty influencer Kelly Strack revealed how to use this technique to your advantage when applying foundation.
The best part? Strack’s tip only takes 10 seconds.
After applying the concealer under the eyes using the two different techniques, she showed the difference between the two

Instead of setting the foundation with a powder, Strack instructed viewers to spray some setting spray onto a damp makeup sponge and dab it around the face.
She explained that this trick was the simple key to avoiding that cakey look when wearing foundation.
“I’m going to press the foundation and blend it into the skin, this will help to not only set the foundation with the setting spray, but also smooth and blend everything flawlessly,” Strack explained in her video.
