No matter what I do my powder to set my concealer makes it look drier than before I put it on and darker.

What powder is the best to set concealer with? pressed? loose? brand recs?

you might be on to something...I am trying different eye creams under it, dif concealers and it still crack and the powder highlights, not hides it.

I'll try a lighter application today.

I always use loose powder to set. actually it depends on your concealer too. if your concealer turns powdery, it isn't always necessary to set with a powder.

A loose powder, I'd suggest Make Up For Ever's HD loose or Yves Saint-Laurent Poudre Sur Mesure. Just use it sparingly so it won't cake or enhance any fine lines.

Try Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder...is made to be used under the eyes to set concealer and it won't settle on fine lines plus is translucent. I find it better to apply it with the brush specifically made for the powder. It's not cheap but it is an investment. They sell them at her website or Sephora.

Laura Mercier's is much better than MUFE HD, less noticeable. I have tried both.
