Yay to have PQ joining the tuck club.
I don't have bags under my eyes but I like the slight pulling in effect of the tuck. I sometimes blend this with "no lines" - got from NCN for the ultimate pull-in flattening effect under the eye. Just throwing it out there as a reminder. |

Thank you Songbird and Kassy!
Songbird, Since I don't have lines on my forehead I will have my Mother try it out. She has been using the EES along with my Father for quite a few months now.
Kassy, I appreciate you taking the time to add more detail on your situation. As usual you are thorough, clear and fun to read. |

Glad to see you back Toby, "boogie dancers" and all...
Just a little thing that helped me get a bit more 'tucking' power after applying is to lay down on my back, with a ceiling fan overhead. Fanning with a magazine works too, but lying down on my back till it's dry is the only thing that helps me get a noticable smoothening under the eyes.
(Granted, I have heaps more to 'tuck' than the majority ) |
Kassy - this is BRILLIANT!!!!! It never even crossed my mind to lie down. I always fan my eyes until they're dry and have stood in front of the air conditioner in the summer. So I tried your tip and fanned my eyes at the same time with the best results EVER! It makes perfect sense so thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock! xoxo Nanci |

After many months of not posting here on EDS - my perilously hectic life interfered - I need to submit my results with EES!
I adore EES. Like many, I really had to play around with it to get my daytime application down, along with the concealer I must wear. At this point, I don't need to put EES on the inner-third of my undereye area, where I do need to use concealer. This area has always been dark for me, veins showing through my pale skin. I use EES on the outer two-thirds, more to erase my tiny wrinkles and slight cross-hatching than for any puffiness.
At night, I'm more liberal with the EES, using it on my whole undereye area. And really, I don't have to use as much as I did in the past. I know I've used too much when it flakes up. My undereyes are awesome in the mornings when I wake up (KassyA, like your laying-down trick, maybe?!), de-puffed!
Count me in as a very satisfied EES user. For me, the good results are cumulative, and even though my initial results were breath-taking, after several months, my undereyes look really, really good. EES has shaved a good 7-8 years off my appearance. As I've noted in other threads, I (and many members of my family, including children) have had these odd, puffy, almost sunken undereyes all my life. We have high cheekbones, and then a cave-in right above. I never, ever really thought my eyes could look this good, at almost 51 - not perfect, but so much better!
I encourage anyone who is unsure about trying EES to do so. I know Nanci at NCN has sample-sizes to try. EES may just do the job for you. |

Ok, I have this vision of all of us laying on the floor in the morning fanning our eyes.
We may get a little razzing from our significant others, but who cares, as long as it works! |

The laying down while drying sounds like a great idea. I'm wondering if tilting the head back as if you were putting in eye drops could produce the same effect.
Just as an alternative when lying down is not an option. |

Just wanted to share this with the EES users, not sure if this has been posted or not as I have been in and out of this thread for some time now...
The last few days I've been applying my EES tuck serum followed quickly by my Lips2Kiss am routine which includes using a blow dryer on my lips...
What I have noticed is while using the blow dryer on a low flow/low heat setting, the air also hits my under eye area quickly "setting" my EES under my eyes...it seems to work rather well and it looks great. Maybe something for others to try that are having trouble applying the tuck...mind you I haven't had any troubles applying except for that initial week trail and error period...but who knows, maybe it will make it work for those who are having issues....
And I again apologize if this has been posted.... |
Thanks bren21. I tried the hair dryer today after applying the tuck, and it works great. I would never have thought of doing that. |

I tried the two products today - I don't think I can comment on what I think until I play a little more with applying it.
With come back when the fires go out.

Hi Winter,
Not Kassy here (and nowhere near as knowledgeable) but I love using the Tuck on my forehead lines. It just gives me a smoother appearance IMO. Give it a try and see how you like it. |
I wanted to report back. We did apply the Tuck on my Mother's forehead lines and surprise it firmed them out quite well. My Mother's lines are not deep so I'm not sure how the Instant Eye Tuck would work on those with deeper line, but we liked the results. Like most applications with these products the amount needs to be just right. We have been using the Illuminating Eye Care on the fine lines all over our faces and found that the cream worked well on those. What my Mother did was apply a bit of the Illuminating on her lines, let it absorb and then applied a little of the Tuck. Thank you Songbird. |

Hi Winter,
You're so welcome. I'm so glad the Tuck is working well on your mom's forehead lines. I don't have alot of lines yet either, I just really like the way it firms the skin and gives it a softer appearance. I have also used the Illuminating Cream under the Tuck, but am experimenting with different creams at the moment. Thanks so much for letting me know your mom is having good results. |

just received from the mail box.
Before I had chance to wash my face, I couldn't bear the suspense any longer so applied one drop under right eye. After 10 minutes, it does seem a tiny bit smoother. However, my fine lines seem way prominent when i smile. Anyone find the same way? |

Hi PQ - It only takes a small amount and try the laying down trick, keeping eyes relaxed while fanning them. The combining of products has worked for some of us. Good Luck - you'll get it figured out.

Just wondering if you have the Easy Eye Solutions Illuminating (Eye Care moisturizer) on under the tuck???It might be a little too much tuck or not having the moisturizer on under it. |

Hi Sis (and thanks too to Toby)
It has taken me the weekend to get used to the product - I love it!
I was getting some white chalky spots of product, but on advice from Toby I have applied the product with a eye make up applicator and I am putting on a tiny amount of the tuck - I will lay down tomorrow morning when it is drying - the poor dog thinks I am mad as it is - but laying on the floor waving my eyes with a fan will finish the puppy off
A question - can you use this two products a nice night treatment - if yes - do I put my normal eye cream on first or use the EES duo?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi everyone. I had a bit of time to dash in and respond to Iaimei's post.
Iaimei, Please don't be too concerned. It takes a few application to get it right. Everything comes down to how much you apply, how you apply and how you blend the products in. Furthermore, there is an initial period where your skin will need to acclimate to the EES. As you will notice in this thread there is an initial learning stage. Some members apply the tuck with a brush and still others with their finger. What I do is cleans my face, put a little of the Illuminating cream on, only where my eyes are puffy and some on my upper lids. Then over the same area I apply a drop of the tuck, and only trace amounts of the tuck on the upper lids. Prior to applying my makeup I smile a little to see if I have taken the eye tuck too far down or to the side of my face. If I see my face crinkle in an unnatural way then I know that I have an excessive amount of the product on an area that doesn't need it. I then take a soft damp cloth and blend that part over. Then I am good to go. Practice makes perfect and before long you will get it right. If you have a chance to go back in this thread you will learn so many great ways to perfect the applications.
Congratulations PQ, so glad to see that you have joined this ever growing thread. I have been using the EES for over a year now and have to say that I have had great success by standing straight up (lol)
