FAQs

How do I make my under eyes look better with makeup?

Start with a hydrating eye cream to smooth skin and minimize under eye wrinkles. Then apply an under eye corrector to neutralize dark circles, followed by under eye concealer for brightness. Finish with a light setting powder to prevent creasing.

How to apply concealer under eyes without creasing?

Use a damp blending sponge, cream color brush or your ring finger with light tapping motions to blend. Avoid dragging the product — gentle pressure keeps it smooth. Apply in thin layers instead of one thick coat, and blend outward for a seamless finish. Lock it in with a light dusting of setting powder for long wear.

What is the best under eye makeup for mature skin?

Look for lightweight formulas when applying under eye makeup for older women. Heavy products can settle into fine lines and emphasize under eye.
