To me it sounds like you're just using too many products under your eyes. I have super oily skin and always use a primer, too, but never right under my eyes.

Re: help with creasing eye concealer

i have an amazing concealer, but even with my HD setting powder it creases. the only thing that works is benefits powderflauge. amazingggg stuff

I use MUFE's HD Concealer and set with MAC Select Sheer Pressed Powder..

I never use Primer or Foundation near my eye area, so I suggest you try to use just concealer and powder and skip those two then see how it goes =)

Perhaps use a lighter long-wear concealer? MUFE makes a pretty good one.

Or, mix your current concealer with a dab of eye cream and really warm it up before applying, then set with a finer powder. Don't apply foundation under.

I used to use my face primer (smashbox, bare minerals, or MAC) under my eyes then apply my foundation followed by my under eye concealer, then letting that set I would apply powder. But after a couple hours my under eyes would be majorly creased..ugh.

So then I went to not using any primer under my eyes....that didn't work either.

Then finally I've tried even powdering before and after the under eye concealers.. then my makeup just looked too cakey...

So I bought the new Benefit 'Stay, don't stray' under eye and shadow primer...this also hasn't worked for me either...I have tried putting it on top of my foundation, letting it set then applying the concealer....and setting it with powder...still same results.

Sooo, I was wondering if any of you ladies have this same issue. Or is it just me?

I will also add that my skin is oily and I use oil-free primers. The concealer I've always used is Boi-ing by Benefit and the powder I use to set my makeup is just drugstore brand.

Thanks for your help, you ladies always know best! <3

Hey imthebeesknees,

Did you finally found a solution to your problem? Cause I do have the same problem as you and funny thing is I'm using the same products as you... still creasing too!! Let me know, thanks.

I had huge issue with creasing and caking.

Make sure your undereye is not too oily. use primer, so that it does not settle into fine lines. after moisturieser than after foundation take a tissue and lightly dab.  then apply concealer.  let it settle then lightly apply powder.  

Make sure undereye is not too oily.  blot it.  then apply primer.  wait a few seconds.  then apply concealer.  blot again if required.  once blotted, make concealer even then apply powder lightly.

Do you use face primer or eyeshadow primer?
