I need concealer help!! I use Maybelline Age Rewind after using a moisturizer and it totally creases after a few min. I'm 39 and do have some wrinkles but primer doesn't seem to make a difference in the creasing. Actually, the few times I've tried using primer it looked worse by the end of the day. I want to look natural, not made up. I can't remember the primer I've been using. Ugh, must be my age!! haha
I don't think my under eye circles are anything crazy but I think I look younger when I use concealer.
Has anyone used a primer with their concealer that works better when there are wrinkles involved? Or maybe it's just the concealer I need to change?
I tried the Bobbie Brown concealer system (2-3 products) and it always creased by the end of the day. For me, the heavier and more product, the greater liklihood of creasing. That's why I like the Yves St concealer pen. I don't have wrinkles yet and I have somewhat dry skin.
For zits and whatnot, I love the cheap Maybelline coverstick. Good luck!

I love Benefit Erase Paste for under my eyes. It's thick, so use a small amount and blend well. I used to use Bobbi Brown's under eye concealer kit and liked it as well.
Using a good primer helps me with creasing, and helps regulate any oil I might get throughout the day. I use Smashbox Photo Finish Light.
Consider setting with a powder. Usually finer is better (so not your general face powder). Laura mercier and benefit make under eye powder - the LM is a better price.

In the past I have used Smashbox photo finish hydrating under eye primer and I have never had creasing with it. But on most days I just moisturize first, make sure you give it time to absorb. You don't want to apply the corrector or concealer when your moisturizer is still wet. Then I use Bobbi Brown's corrector, concealer and then setting powder. I think it really helps to make sure that the primer or mosturizer, whichever you are using first, is completely absorbed before applying the makeup. Also make sure you are using a setting powder on top.
