Everytime I put concealer under my eyes it looks cakey, any way to stop that? I have mac pro longwear, revlon color stay, maybelline fit me, makeup forver.

Maybe get a good under eye moisturizer, a great concealer that does not crease for me is the maybelline instant age rewind eraser dark circle treatment, I love it! Hope I helped!

When I put my mac concealer I always fix it with the powder that I apply with a brush.

I have the maybelline fit me concealer and tbh I don't know how I was living without it. Not wore foundation in the day time as nowI use the concealer to cover little marks and that's it. Don't apply too much, first moisturise your face and literally put a dot under your eye and dab it with your finger until it's all blended in. And make sure it's the correct colour, not too light x

You could also try applying it or blending it out with a damp sponge. I have been loving the real techniques sponge lately. I still apply my makeup with my brushes but after I use the sponge damp and just kind of blot it all and it helps a lot. I had stopped using my Urban Decay concealer because it was looking dry and cakey under my eyes and this has helped so much. I also set it with powder as soon as I'm done. I use the real techniques setting brush because its small and you can really make sure the entire under eye area is set without trying to get a huge powder brush under your eyes.

I would definitely suggest getting a very moisturizing eye cream, my problem was that I was using an eye cream that did not provide enough moisture and it made my concealer look really cakey. I love the bobbi brown eye cream and I really like their concealers and correctors. Their concealers and correctors are super creamy and do not cake up on me at all. Just make sure you set them with a translucent powder. hope I helped! good luck.

Well there could be a couple of things.
1. It's revlon color stay, it has a very full coverage already and it's not hard to cake this foundation up.
2. You might not have moisturized quite enough before application, especially under your eyes.
3. Mac Pro longwear pumps out a lot of product, not blending it well can make it look cakey.
4. Applicators. Try using a dense brush, a duo fiber, or a beautyblender (or damp sponge).
Hopefully you can find what was causing the cakiness :)

Experiment with concealer it sounds like you need a light coverage concealer or need to use a thinner layer or might need a primer.

If that happens it usually means the eye area is lacking moisturisation. That has happened to me, you just need to make sure you use a rich eyecream and fingers crossed should solve the problem 👍
