Concealer makes under eye skin look dry and flaky?

I've tried using mac and elizabeth arden concealers for the under eye skin and when i first put it on it looks fine but after a little while the skin under my eye looks dry and flaky so i am always rewashing my face with burts bees makeup wash. i just want the skin under my eyes to look smooth and not flaky.

I used to have the same problem, here's what helped me. I started using a under eye cream or face primer before I put on my makeup, this creates a smooth canvas for the under eye makeup. I know you said that your skin is smooth before, but trust me this works. Then you wanna go with a non-cakey textured concealer, my all time fav is Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Collection concealer in the pink based colour All Over Light. Its going to look really pinky purple but PLEASE try it. I have had under eye circles forever and this stuff blows everything else away. It creates the illusion of light under the eye and makes you look fresh and wide awake. I LOVE IT.
try NARS concealer,they have great colors and their makeup is made to be used with your fingers. its my favorite concealer for blemishes %26amp; under the eyes
Exfoliate your skin tonight. Tomorrow wash and moisturize your skin before you put make up on. It could be your skin is dry or you need to use too much concealer or it's the wrong type of concealer for your skin type. Try getting a makeup primer and using that before you put any concealer on.
i use MAC concealer too, the studio finish one. here are some tips so it doesnt look flakey:





1. try using a brush. i use an eye crease brush with mine, and it goes on way better than if i just use my finger or some other kind of brush. i just my brush for just $3 at Target.


2. when i brought the concealer, the MAC lady gave me this primer kind of lotion thing that you put on before the concealer so the concealer won't go into your creases. i forgot the name, but if you go back to MAC, then they should be able to figure out what you're talking about.


3. make sure you cover the concealer up by putting foundation on top of it. if you just but on the concealer, it can make the area look dry.
