Steps
Cleanse your face and apply eye cream or moisturiser around the eyes. Wait a few minutes so the skincare fully sinks in before any makeup goes on.
Choose a concealer shade close to your skin tone or one step lighter. Avoid very pale shades, which can make the under-eye area look grey.
Dot a small amount of concealer only where you need it, usually the inner corner and the darkest part of the under-eye. Start with less than you think you need.
Tap the concealer in with a small brush or a damp sponge. Pat rather than swipe so you don't drag the skin or move the product.
Blend the edges outward and down toward the cheek. Keep the layer thin, because thick layers settle into lines.
Let the concealer sit for a moment, then gently press out any creases with your finger or sponge.
Set with a light dusting of setting powder on a small fluffy brush. Press the powder on instead of sweeping it, and use only a little to avoid cakiness.
Check in a mirror under natural light and touch up only the spots that need it.
Tips and common mistakes
Using too much concealer is the most common cause of creasing, so build thin layers instead of one thick one.
A shade that is too light or too cool can give a grey cast under the eyes.
Let eye cream dry fully before concealing, or the product will slide and crease.
Set only the areas that crease, and skip heavy powder if your skin is dry.
Questions
Why does my concealer turn grey under my eyes?
It is often the wrong shade or a layer that is too thick. A concealer close to your skin tone, applied thinly, usually looks more natural.
How do I stop concealer settling into fine lines?
Use less product, tap it in with a damp sponge, and press a small amount of setting powder over the creased areas.
Do I need to wait after applying eye cream?
Yes. Give your skincare a few minutes to absorb so the concealer sits on skin, not on slippery cream.
