Ask Elle--Stop Creasing Concealer

Two posts today! Be sure to come back!
Dear Elle,
How do I stop my concealer from creasing? via comments


Here are a few options that I use. Try one (or mix it up!)

  • Prep: Try using a liquid eye shadow primer (yes, that's right) underneath the eye where you'd put your concealer. Examples: Benefit's Stay Don't Stray, Too Faced's Shadow Insurance, Urban Decay's Primer Potion, ELF Mineral Primer, L'Oreal Decrease 
  • Pat: Don't rub in your concealer in the delicate eye area. Use finger, doe foot applicator (this is usually attached to your concealer cap if using a liquid concealer), or a concealer brush to apply. Then pat, pat, pat, and pat some more until blended. This works, seriously!
  • Brand: Some brands, even really expensive brands, just crease. If you tried the two tips above and you're still getting creasing, try another brand.

Do you have questions about beauty or hair care?

  5. Great tips, as I've gotten older I put eye cream on first and while it's still moist I pat on the concealer. That's helped a lot!
