What you need
Steps
Start with clean, moisturised skin. Pat a small amount of eye cream around the under-eye area and let it sink in for a minute so the concealer has a smooth base.
Apply a thin layer of concealer only where you need it, usually the inner corner and the darkest part under the eye. Less product means less to settle into lines.
Tap the concealer in with your ring finger or a damp sponge. Use light pressing motions instead of dragging or rubbing, which pushes product into the creases.
Look straight ahead and gently press the inner under-eye area with a clean fingertip to lift out any product that has gathered in the fine lines.
Blend the edges with a small brush so the concealer melts into your skin. Keep the layer thin and build only if you still need more coverage.
Set the area with a light dusting of setting powder on a small brush. Press the powder on rather than sweeping it, focusing on the inner corner where creasing starts.
Check in a mirror after a few minutes and gently tap away any new creases with your fingertip before you finish the rest of your makeup.
Tips and common mistakes
Use less concealer than you think you need, since a thick layer creases faster than a thin one.
Avoid applying concealer right up to the lower lash line, where lines are deepest.
A damp sponge gives a smoother finish than fingers if your skin is dry.
Skip heavy powder if your under-eye area is dry, as it can make lines look worse.
Questions
Why does my concealer keep creasing?
Concealer creases when it collects in the fine lines under the eye, usually because too much product was applied or the area was not set. Thin layers and light pressing help a lot.
Do I need to use powder to stop creasing?
Not always. A light dusting of powder helps on oily skin, but dry skin may do better with just a thin layer of concealer pressed in well.
Can I use this trick with foundation too?
Yes. The same idea works with foundation under the eyes: use a small amount, press it in, and set lightly.
