I started using Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Concealer and I like the coverage but when I powder my under eye after application it looks so dry and old lady. Any suggestions? Here's a pic so you can see what I'm talking about. This didn't happen with my last concealer, or not anywhere to this degree.

Do you have oily or dry skin?.

Dry skin, but my under eye isn't dry. I've tried MUFE HD powder, loose translucent, and Laura Mercier Mineral Foundation powder.

I've heard using a primer under the eye works but I've never done it.

I think lock it is to thick for the under eye area you need something that's going to bend with your facial expressions I love bye bye under eye it covers really well but it never gets cakey

I thought lock was for oily. and also it cakes quickly.
I don't use it myself. this what I've read n heard. you prob need something more for normal..
have you tried blending your foundation over it n then set the entire look vs setting the concealer first?.
I don't think this is the right concealer for you in geberal, but let's makes it work.

Good idea Naomi. I got it because it covers my rosacea so well. Then it was working well on my dark under eye circles but you all might be right that the formula just isn't right for that area.
I do use a primer under eye.

Have you tried it without setting it with powder?

@Bree I have the same issue. thats why I never set my under eye concealer. it works best if the product is creamy so very different from others.

Bree, if you need full coverage. try the nyx pot full coverage concealer. its not drying from what I've hears n read. I have it n my cart, its only like $4.99. I'm going to pick up up for days when my under eye circles are too much.. but make the lock it work until you can finish it up of course..

Ok, try not setting it with powder. I have the same problem and my only solution is to not set the area under your eyes with powder. Since you have the 24 hour wear from the concealer, just try it one day when your not doing much and see how long it lasts, that way you know before you go out and about for real.
But I'm telling you, the only way I could avoid the creepy crepes was to stop applying powder on them
