Dear Elle,How do I stop my concealer from creasing? via comments
Here are a few options that I use. Try one (or mix it up!)
- Prep: Try using a liquid eye shadow primer (yes, that's right) underneath the eye where you'd put your concealer. Examples: Benefit's Stay Don't Stray, Too Faced's Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay's Primer Potion, ELF Mineral Primer, L'Oreal Decrease
- Pat: Don't rub in your concealer in the delicate eye area. Use finger, doe foot applicator (this is usually attached to your concealer cap if using a liquid concealer), or a concealer brush to apply. Then pat, pat, pat, and pat some more until blended. This works, seriously!
- Brand: Some brands, even really expensive brands, just crease. If you tried the two tips above and you're still getting creasing, try another brand.
- Before you throw out that concealer, try one of its many uses! Click here.

Totally agree about patting it on...makes a big diff.
ReplyDeletePat? Ohh, I always smear and rub it in. Ok, clearly a concealer fail :(
ReplyDeleteGreat and very helpful suggestions.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips, as I've gotten older I put eye cream on first and while it's still moist I pat on the concealer. That's helped a lot!
