Did you know that the area under your eye is the first place that shows age? Understanding how to apply makeup underneath your eyes could help make you look 10 years younger, or make you look 10 years older depending on your method. In this post, I will explore 3 reasons why your makeup is creasing under your eyes and how to fix it.
3 Reasons Your Makeup is creasing under your Eyes

Watch this to see how I fix dark circles under my eyes (starting at about the 4.25 minute mark)
- Too much heavy product applied. When the concealer is too thick it can settle into fine lines and wrinkles.
- You did not ‘set’ your concealer. Not setting the concealer can cause it to move and shift throughout the day, which leads to creasing.
- You forgot to moisturize under your eyes, woops!
Here are some steps you can follow to fix creased concealer under your eyes
As a rule of the thumb, when you apply makeup, the closer you get to your eyes, the less makeup you should be applying.
- Start by gently wiping away any excess product with a damp sponge or cloth.
- Apply a thin layer of eye cream or face moisturizer to the under-eye area.
- Wait a few minutes for the moisturizer to absorb into the skin.
- Apply a thin, even layer of primer specifically designed for the under-eye area.
- Wait for the primer to dry completely.
- Finally, apply your cream makeup or this demi collection, using a small brush or your ring finger, and blend it into the skin.
Remember to use a light-handed approach when applying the products, and avoid pulling or tugging at delicate skin around the eyes.
