Prevent Your Under-Eye Concealer From Creasing!
Makeup application is a process. Not only just any process but a very long one. After applying makeup, you feel good and then suddenly a few hours, your makeup starts to crease. Annoying right? To prevent that, here are steps you have to do!
Prep with eye cream.
A lesser-known tip for crease-free concealer is to prep the under-eye area "with an easily absorbed eye cream,"
Set it with powder (but not too much).
Our MUAs agree it's easy to mess up the powder situation with under-eye concealer. You definitely want to apply powder on top of your concealer, it sets the look and minimizes creasing throughout the day.
Place your concealer strategically.
"Where you place the concealer is also important," says Ma. "We tend to get most darkness around the triangle part at the inner corner of the eyes, so focus there. The skin around that area tends to be smoother, hence less creasing."

Choose the right tools.
What you use to apply your under-eye concealer also matters. Use a small, pointed synthetic brush to apply the concealer only to the areas where you see a shadow, then pat into place with your fingertip.
Use a blotting paper to ensure long wear.
Here's another cool hack for creaseless, stay-all-day concealer: Press a blotting paper over the under-area after you've applied your concealer.
Embrace "baking."
After patting in your concealer with your fingertips, making sure there are no visible crease lines, tap some loose powder quickly and lightly over the area you've concealed. After two to three minutes gently dust off all remaining powder that hasn't set in, until the look is “smooth and set.”
