What you need
Steps
Start with clean, dry skin. Pat a small amount of hydrating eye cream around each eye and let it sink in for a minute or two before any makeup.
Apply a thin layer of grippy eye primer only to the under-eye area. Use a tiny dot per eye and tap it in with your ring finger.
Wait about 30 seconds for the primer to set. If it still feels tacky, tap off the excess with a clean finger or tissue.
Dot a small amount of concealer under each eye, closer to the inner corner where darkness shows most. Use less than you think you need.
Blend with a damp sponge or small brush using light tapping motions. Avoid dragging or sweeping, which pushes product into lines.
Let the concealer settle for a minute, then gently press out any creases with a clean finger or the sponge corner.
Pick up a tiny amount of fine setting powder on a small fluffy brush and tap off the excess. Press it lightly under each eye.
Finish with one or two light mists of setting spray, holding the bottle about 20 cm from your face. Let it dry without touching.
Tips and common mistakes
Use less product overall. Heavy layers are the main cause of caking and creasing.
Press products in with tapping motions instead of sweeping, so you do not push makeup into fine lines.
Skip powder if your under-eyes are very dry, or use it only on the inner corner.
Check your makeup in natural light after an hour and blot any creases with a clean finger rather than adding more product.
Questions
Why does my concealer crease within an hour?
Usually too much product or a tacky base that has not set. Use a thin layer of primer, less concealer and press out creases before powdering.
Do I need a special eye cream?
No. Any hydrating eye cream works, as long as you let it absorb before applying makeup so products do not slide.
Can I skip setting powder?
Yes, especially on dry skin. A light setting spray alone can keep the finish smooth without powder settling into lines.
