Concealer Creasing

How do you guys stop your concealer from creasing under your eyes? I am using MUFE Camo Concealer Palette No. 1 and I set it with Palladio Translucent Powder but it still creases throughout the day. Product recommendations? Please and thank you!

Here is how it creases, ick!

i want your eyes!! :) and to answer your question, I personally would just try and blend in the concealer with my finger or like a sponge and then dont set too much powder over it.. ? my face does the same thing as well :(

I do it backwards, but I put foundation then concealer then powder. It never creases for me. Try that and let me know. 

@Erica: That is exactly what I do and it still creases.

I am thinking I need to switch from cream to liquid concealer. Cream might just be too thick for me.

I remember Wayne having a video on this. He would lightly press (or tap, I dunno) a tissue underneath the eye to soak up any oils and then put some powder on it (tap the powder, don't sweep).

Have you tried putting primer over before applying? I used to have that problem, and I started using primer and it's stays in place, no creasing. I use a face primer, but eyeshadow primer works better. Good luck!

@Freddie: I do that all over my face, never thought of doing it specifically under the eyes. I will try that!

@Michelle: I only have very little of Too Faced Primed and Poorless left and am saving it for a special occasion till I can get another tube. I love that stuff! I will defiantly use an eye primer and see if that works. Do you think TFSI or Lime Crime Eyeshadow helper would be better? They have different consistencies, I don't know if that would make a difference though.

Thanks for all the tips guys! :D

Hopefully, it works! I had to do that at some point and it helped me out. I just eventually got lazy with it LOL

You know... I think maybe you're right about cream being too thick. I just do it with liquid and I use a good bit of concealer. Maybe try it without putting foundation on? Like, just concealer and powder?

I am truly obsessed with the laura mercier secret brightening powder for setting under eye concealer. It works fabbbullouuss

I tried using Lime Crimes primer, MUFE concealer, then patted off the excess with a tissue and set it with a powder. It did help a lot. There is still some creasing but not nearly as much as before!

Thank you ladies!!

My concealer doesn't crease, but maybe you can use a setting spray like urbon decay long lasting setting spray?? I use it and it is fabulous! :)

If it's a cream concealer you're using, use as small amount as possible! I sometimes use M.A.C. Studio Finish Concealer under my eyes and it never creases. When I apply it I take it on a rather large blending brush and sweep it gently under my eyes. That particular concealer gives a really, really good coverage even when you're just using a teeny tiny bit of it. The I set it with a small amount of loose powder.
Another thing you could do is to switch your cream concealer to a liquid one or the highlighter Touche Éclat from YSL (which is extremely good at covering dark circles).
Hope that helps! :)

With creasing under the eyes you want to stay away from thick cream concealers, that just makes it worse. Try using a liquid concealer as this won't crease.
