Is Concealer Creasing Common?
Applying concealer under your eyes is pretty simple, but it’s common for makeup to crease due to the fine lines in this dynamic area. “You can minimize creasing, but since we are moving, breathing beings, it is not always possible to prevent it altogether,” says Gerstein. “Remember to go easy on yourself. As much as a crease annoys you, it’s usually nothing a couple of swipes of a damp Beautyblender or a fingertip can’t fix.”
