Under-eye concealer that doesn't settle into lines?

[juliette21]

I have been using the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind under-eye concealer for a few years now, and even though the whole formula is supposed to be age defying/not settle into lines, I feel like lately it does. 

Does anyone else have this problem? Any recs for concealer that doesn't settle into lines?

Do you use a face primer?

I like NARs creamy concealer.

No, I don't like how greasy my face looks and feels with them.

I think the bare minerals stroke of light is pretty good. Not the best coverage if you have really dark circles tho.

You might want to try primer just under your eyes. It can help with the settling.

Do you set it with powder? I find that works best for me. I keep switching up concealers because I have the same problem and still haven't really found one that doesn't settle into my wrinkles by the end of the day. 

Right now I'm using up the sample of the IT one and it's okay, I didn't like it the first couple of times I used it, but I'm getting used to it.  It's really thick and I think I was using too much the first time.  It still settles, but again, not usually until the end of the day.

Primer is the only thing that helps with this.

As PP suggest you likely do need face primer under your eyes. I don't have a ton of lines yet but primer makes a huge difference, and setting with powder makes it even better (so I do primer and let it dry a few minutes, concealer, then finishing powder). I use Maybelline Instant Age Rewind too and this pattern is effective.

I think the primer is key. You don't have to use it all over, but it really helps to fill in those lines so the concealer doesn't settle in there. Also setting with powder is another trick to making the concealer look smoother and not creased.

I have this problem too. I use primer and setting powder and still have the problem of concealer settling into fine lines. I would love to find a concealer that doesn't settle into fine lines, or at least one with minimal settling.

I use clinique under eye concealer, it doesn't settle into lines

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer is very creamy. Drugstore - I'm using Rimmel Match Perfection which is also super creamy.

I always dab eye cream before putting on concealer because that's my dry area.

I've tried every trick - primer, powder, cream, different application techniques- and nothing works for me. I just do my best to minimize the terribleness by keeping the amount of concealer I use to a minimum, and regularly smoothing it out under my eye as the day goes on.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and tips on how to prevent this. I am definitely going to try a primer just under my eyes (luckily I have a few samples from Sephora) and also maybe pick up the LM powder.

I love this board!

Two thoughts:

(1) I've never had this happen with the bare minerals stroke of light and I don't prime my undereyes.

(2) There is a great LM dupe by elf. It's $2 and works great. I would try that first if you want to save money.

I have tried many concealers, and Bobbi Brown corrector and concealer is by far my favorite. It never creases or settles into lines, but I do use a primer and setting powder.

Use the Milani eyeshadow primer under your eyes, then put on the concealer.

I find if I use my tapered kabuki brush, it doesn't crease. If I apply concealer with my finger tip, it settles in lines. Primer also helps it go on much smoother.

I love the Josie Maran Concealer Crayon. I've had no creasing issues. I draw right on my face and blend with my stipple brush.

Nars radiant creamy concealer is the best I've found. I've also tried Tarte and Bobbi Brown - both creased on me.
