I currently use Mac's pro long wear concealer in nw15 as I use it to highlight. I purchased this concealer to minimise creasing but it doesn't work at all for me. Any way I can stop this or any recommendations to better concealers? *tried application with fingers, brushes and a knock off beauty blender. Thanks guys x

Definitely try setting it powder! If that doesn't work, try putting an eye primer underneath the concealer.

I do :( maybe the powder isn't good enough, I use the rimmel stay matte one

I've had issuing with creasing when I used too much product or my face wasn't properly moisturizered before hand. I like to spray it with the pur minerals setting spray before I do my make up. Wayne goss on YouTube has a video that could help you if none of these things work.

Make sure your beauty blender is wet too.

Either set with powder or use an eye primer. I swear by Benefit Stay Don't Stray, I love it and use it everyday as I have super oily skin/lids and it still works amazingly.

Thanks girls, maybe I do use too much product in that area as I have dark circles that still show through my concealer

You may be using to much product and a color corrector would be something to look into. Try not to use it all over under the eye area just where it's needed and press it on slightly spread it. All concealers are bound to crease slightly but a under eye primer would help but here's my own personal trick I do to help the longevity I spritz my concealer brush with setting spray then I press the brush over the area. I don't use setting powders often because in some cases it sits like a blanket over not really setting the in between areas of creases. You ever tried using a baby powder under your arms? And after a while you'll noticed when looking at it the fold of your pit broke away the powder lol ya weird comparison but it's close to it ;)

I use the same concealer to brighten and highlight and it definitely needs setting with a powder. I found the Ben Nye (banana) powder to be fab to stop creasing.

A under eye setting that worked well for me, recommended by KathleenLights on YouTube, was the under eye setting power by ELF. It worked GREAT and has a nice brightening effect AND a bonus, it's cheap.. Lol.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned anything about "baking/cooking".

Baking has been used in the drag community for years.
Basically you let translucent powder sit on your face for 5-15 minutes, which allows the heat from your face to set your concealer, and then dusting it off your face, leaving you with a creaseless, flawless finish. (Kim k's makeup artist does this on her)

It's a different technique and the fact that it does not look appealing in person,nothing close to a flawless look.it's basically cook and crumble lol but for stage it needs to be exaggerated and touch ups are always needed still. :)

I personally don't like the Rimmel Stay Matte powder. My favorite is Maybelline Fit Me. Also, don't apply too much. For blending, I use either my fingers or a damp beauty blender, but the damp beauty blender usually does a better job.

Maybe use an under eye cream to moisturize your under eyes and then use a damp beauty blender and apply it that way:)
