How do you stop under eye creasing!? right now I use nars radiant creamy concealer and set it with MUFE hd powder I also use a beauty blender and do have fine lines under my eyes :( what kind of primer or concealer would you recommend for there? right now I use hourglass mineral veil primer.

I use Rimmel fix and perfect primer in 002, MAC pro longwear concealer (applied either with fingers or a domed concealer brush). You could try changing your primer and powder. I've never tried this specific concealer but I can do some research for you!
If it doesn't work, maybe change concealer. The Mac one I use never settles into fine lines and doesn't need setting.

If you have dry skin under your eyes, you could try a good eye cream too.

I hear that the Nars creamy concealer is great, keep trying and maybe you'll find what prep or powder works for you! I wouldn't want you to have wasted money on it :)

Try putting a little of your eyeshadow primer under your eyes to keep the concealer from creasing! Sharon Farrell on YouTube does that and it seems to work for her (: or look into a regular under eye primer.

I use my all over face primer by almay under my eyes as well, then put my masterconceal by maybelline on with a domed brush and set it with NYX setting powder and have never had any issues with it creasing!

The truth is you'll always have some sort of creasing under the eye but what helps minimize it is to use very little product and lightly tap or brush in a circular motion (when brushing I mean use a small brush like a mac 217 for example) Also look at your concealer if it's a liquid or cream and on the under eye area I don't place foundation there I want the highest of coverage and I need that area for concealer.depending on skin most of the time I don't powder that area if it's dry because it can increase the look of fine lines.If you choose to use powder be extremely light handed with it.

Thank you so much alma now I know not to be so self conscious if I do get some creasing and I'm feeling that it is dry so I will skip powder all together :)

You're welcome Brianna, creasing is normal that's why we have the term touch ups lol there will always be a need for touch ups, in film, in photography and in general everyday life, it happens. I can't lie a photographer is a makeup artist best friend and you have to understand nothing looks or stays flawless all day but some tips and application can help the longevity a little bit more. :)

I use Bo-oing concealer by Benefit and I set it with Dior loose powder. Perfect combination "to me at least" and never got fine lines.

Bottom lash line will always crease. And if it doesn't for anybody out there then good for you but it's expected honestly.
