Prevent Concealer Creases!
Talk about long time no post. I have no good excuses for you, so we'll pretend it didn't happen? =) So I've discovered a process that is so fantastic, I felt I had to share!
Do you find that your under eye concealer tends to crease? Do you get that annoying settling line?? I do. Particularly because I have a terribly dry and eczema-ish under eye area.
Firstly, let's address why we get those creases. Lack of HYDRATION!! No matter what, always use a moisturizer under your eyes and on your eye lids. Doesn't matter how inexpensive, or expensive it is. Some hydration is better than no hydration.
Sometimes, no matter how much we moisturize that area, we still have those fine lines. That is where a wonder product comes in! There are two products on the market that are very similar and they will both do the job. What are they, you ask? L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base and Lancôme's Effét Miracle. These products are both primers for your foundation.
If you've ever had the chance to test them and see the texture, you will notice that they are quite thick in consistency. Many people are turned off of the product because of this. However, the difference here is that the products help to perfect the "skin" and not just your foundation, which is what you see with many of the other foundation primers. If you were to apply either the L'Oreal or Lancôme primer to half of your face, you will notice they literally fill in the lines and make your skin look perfected.
The trick to using these primers is to use a little, and use your hands. The warmth from your hands and fingers will melt it into the skin. These are great for all over your face, but I have found they are FANTASTIC for the under eye area for a few reasons:
1. It helps lock in the moisturizer you applied earlier.
2. It fills in the tiny hydration lines that you may have. (I certainly do!)
3. It creates such a smooth base for your concealer that you will not see any creasing!!
Overall, you cannot go wrong with either of these products. I have had both, they are very similar, though I do lean on the Lancôme side! Either way, your concealer woes should be gone and your face will thank you too!
