@Dazlin   Do you mean NARS? Any concealer I use under my eyes I mix in my hand w/ a bit of under eye cream. This thins it down and also helps eliminate creasing because it adds hydration. I also don't set my concealer with powder. When I apply it, I let it set for a few minutes before smoothing it under eyes and tapping it on with my finger or a damp sponge.

 

I use the same shade of concealer for under eyes as I do on my face to spot conceal. A big mistake some make is too light a concealer shade which draws attention to that area. It used to be the "rule" to go a shade lighter, but it's too obvious.

@Dazlin   If you have bluish/purple darkness under your eyes, a shade w/ peach under tones instead of pink will be better...but don't go too far off the color of the rest of your face.

@Shanus , yes I was asking about the concealers both you and @monicakm used.  I can't really say my under eye area is disclored or darkened ...its more sunken.  We have spoken about this in the past, and I bought both of Bobby Brown concealer and corrector (you suggested)

I'm finished them and as usual I continue to hunt.

I think I like something more brightening that gives the illusion of plumpness.   Two I now use are Maybelline Rewind concealer and Mac Prep n Prime

I apply over my eye cream and they crease like crazy.

I'll try your method next.  TY

I've used every concealer out there and the one I'm hooked on & rave about now is from Monika Blunder. She had a show on Q awhile back but don't know if her products are still available here.

The only under eye concealer that I have found that works beautifully is Mally's Dark Circle Corrector.  The maroon twist up pen.  I apply it after using my Algenist Triple Algae Eye Renwal Balm (it's really more of a thin cream than a balm).  The concealer NEVER settles in creases.  I apply 3 light dotted areas of it and smooth it in with my finger.  A little goes a long way.
