Why Your Concealer Creases — and the 10-Second Fix

Concealer creases for one reason: it's sitting on skin that moves, and something in the layering gave it permission to travel.

The 10-second fix, in order: less product (one small dot, not a swipe), applied after your eye cream has fully absorbed (wet skincare = sliding concealer), pressed in with a finger (warmth melts it into skin), then set immediately with the smallest amount of powder on the inner corner and outer edge only.

The mistake almost everyone makes: setting the entire under-eye with powder. That's what makes it look dry and ages the eye — set the movement points, leave the middle luminous.

Absorbed skincare is step zero — skin prep is 80% of the look.
