Concealer under the eyes?

I tend to have dark circles under my eyes often because of lack of sleep plus genetics. I put on concealer but i don't wear any other face makeup because i just don't like it. Whenever i put on the concealer under my eyes it seems to look really cakey and very obvious that i am wearing concealer...i don't know if i'm doing something wrong or what..Concealer under the eyes?
It could be cakey as a result of not moisturizing enough, so make sure you put some moisturizer before the concealer. The reason it is standing out is because you may have the wrong shade for your skintype, or you aren't blending it well enough to the skin that you aren't covering.Concealer under the eyes?
ok you feel that there's something wrong because concealer is a liquid makeup to cover something you don't like from your face.


but then if you're wearing a concealer you should tap out face powder with it; the reason your concealer at the bottom of your eyes looks cakey cause of the heat of the sun or your perspiration.





if you try putting powder on top of it then this won't make it cakey anymore;


but then if it still does that, then use ANOTHER concealer because probably the product your using is to liquidize.
they are kinda of pricey but bobbi brown makes a great corrector and concealer. I use both, because I am blessed with hereditary italian dark under eye circles. go to their make-up counter and get color matched. you can then just put on either light weight foundation, or just powder over it.





first I use the corrector. Then apply concealer and powder over it. it never feels cakey or anything. just looks like I naturally got a good nights sleep!
You need one specific to eyes...





Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for Eyes. (concealer + eye cream + spf)





I have the same problem- without concealer and/or foundation, i look like the bride of frankenstein, esp. if i get less than 6/7 hours of sleep, which is like everyday lol.





Just make sure to not put too much on and spread it out evenly.





Also you probably want to replace your concealer every 9 months or so, starting when you first open it, so germs dont collect.





Hope I helped love :)
I have the same thing. What type of concealer are you wearing? I use Mineral Make up and people say my skin glows!


If you go to the mall they will help you find the right tone for your skin.


~Good Luck~
Usually I try not to use concealer under my eyes. It usually makes dark circles look even more noticable. Try using some other types of make up.
i had the same problem, put on moisturizer first, then apply a concealer that's meant for under eyes. it makes a huge difference =]
You should apply foundation after you apply the concealer.
Try a different concealer like brand or maybe you have the wrong color. And if that still dosnt work try blending it better
go to a bookstore and casually pick up and thumb through the bobbi brown makeup manual. BEST THING EVER. and find what you need and leave. :]
you should try putting less =] and if it has a yellowish tint it will cover dark circles better
