My favorite concealer is Natasha Denona. Its not cheap, but it lasts quite a while. I only use for under my eyes,  not all over, so I am really getting my money's worth. It is not thcik but it is not thin, and it covers really well, and does not settle......Love it!

@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.

@Shanus @monicakm ...do you use those under your eyes??   How's the creasing?...I'd like to look into them...and maybe there's a shade with a bit of pink .

@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.

After I've moisturized and applied my Foundation, I apply my concealer mixed with a tiny bit of moisturizer. After it has dried, using my finger I go back and tap out what has settled in my fine lines. This is when you will want to apply your powder. If you do it before removing the concealer out of your fine lines, you've just set it Personally, I don't powder where my fine lines are. I keep any powder up high right under the Lash line so eyeliner pencil doesn't transfer.
