Sometimes mascara is not completely removed at night. This leads to a slight staining over time...especially with waterproof mascaras which are sometimes more pigmented.

Before applying eye cream and concealer, use a cotton pad and eye makeup remover (I use a face oil...may as well get extra hydration) to check that all mascara, liner, etc. is gone. I'm shocked at the residue on my cotton pad. After all, I'm using waterproof liner for tightlining. Some of the darkness you're trying to cover w/ concealer, may be leftover eye makeup. Just say'in.

I have always applied my foundation first then my concealer.  I do my eyes after I I do my foundation and concealer.  I don't have an issue with fall-out from eyeshadow.  

I know some people have an issue with concealer because they are buying the wrong color. Period.  Some make-up artists and YouTube influencers like their concealer to be a shade lighter than their foundation, some like it a little darker and some like it the same.  

My concealer matches my skin-tone like my foundation does because there are some weekend days when all I do is apply concealer.  If it was too dark or too light it would look awful.

@Lipstickdiva   Re: Concealer shades. I have both shades...1/2 shade lighter for under eyes and same shade as foundation/tinted moisturizer for spot concealing. Looks strange to conceal on the face w/ the undereye concealer which is usually lighter to provide brightness.

@Shanus, I use the same shade for my undereyes and my face.  I found going lighter wasn't concealing my darkness.  The I go over that with the Mary Kay Undereye Corrector.
