Mac prolong wear concealer application problems.

Having a hard time getting the concealer to look good under my eyes. But no matter what I apply it with my beauty blender, regular brush, fingers it keeps looking flaky and creases the second I leave it alone. I always use one pump for both eyes. What tips should I do to prevent this from happening again?

I also use a moisturizer before applying it.

Maybe you're using too much, because one pump for me is waaaay too much. The only problem I have with that concealer is the pump because it pumps out too much product.

I suggest using a primer under the eyes (and all over the face) first, and don't use that much product. I apply it with a beauty blender and then immediately go in with a fluffy brush and a setting powder. And when I say immediately I mean it! If you wait it will cake and you'll have to blend it out again with the beauty blender. Hope that helps :) with those steps my MAC pro long wear concealer has become my absolute favorite.

Look at Nikketutorials videos she did 2 on how to prevent creasing.

I actually found that it looks its best when applied after a silicone based primer :) maybe this will help you! I absolutely love this concealer!

I don't know if I'll find this thread tomorrow, it's 3 am now and I seriously need some sleep. The ones I use and love are Smashbox pore minimizing primer and Rimmel fix and perfect with the blue cap :) just in case you needed further info :)
