How to stop undereye concealer from creasing

Hello ladies,

Just thought I would do another make up application post as I know how popular they are and I always seem to get emails asking how to do apply various things. One question I get asked a lot from you lovely older ladies is how to cover up those dark circles when you have fine lines and wrinkles as concealers seem to sit in those lines or crease. 

Well firstly here is a list of products that I use. There are cheaper versions out there which are absolutely fine and you can use instead:

• Moisturiser
• Damp BeautyBlender Sponge
• Nars smudgeproof eyeshadow primer
• Mac prolongwear concealer
• very cheap box of tissues
• Laura mercer loose translucent powder
• Tapered crease brush (I use a Royal & Langnickel for this). 

First of all apply your moisturiser under the eye area and leave to sink in for a few minutes. Next take a tissue. The cheap face tissues are the best as you want it a thin as possible. Pull the tissue apart so that you have a very thin layer. Lay the tissue over the eye area and press gently over the moisturiser with your ring finger to remove any excess oil. 

Next take your eyeshadow primer (clear primers are better for this) and place a straight line of it from the inner crease downwards. Using your finger pat and press this into skin until you have a smooth base. Next take your concealer and place dots from the inner crease outwards. Using your beauty blender press and bounce the concealer into the under eye area pulling slightly downwards and upwards towards the temple so it looks like a Nike tick. Keep patting until blended. Once blender take your tissue again and place over the eye and lightly press using your ring finger again. Don’t smudge the concealer, your just trying to absorb any excess oil. It’s the oil in products and your skin that causes the creasing. Finish by lightly patting some loose powder over the area with a small long tapered brush to set the concealer and stop it moving. 

And that’s it!! Your undereye concealer will last a million times longer that usual and the eyeshadow primer should prevent any creasing, exactly how it does for your eyeshadow.
