Prevent Your Eye Concealer From Creasing-3 Easy Steps

So the other im busy putting my makeup on...i check up on it a few hours later and i notice that my eye concealer has creased under my eye. THE HORROR! I thought OH MY GOD! Am i getting wrinkles?? But after i googled this,i found that alot of woman have this problem.

The concealer settles into the fine lines under the eye and it really is not a pretty sight!

After searching for solutions  and testing it out,i discovered the best solution for me.

I love this way because im always rushing to get to work in the morning so this is simple and quick.

What you need: A wedge sponge,eye primer and a good setting powder.

Step 1

Make sure that your eye area is not oily.
Prime your under eye area just as you would prime your eyelid.(I use the Urban Decay Primer).


Step 2

Apply concealer to your under eye area.

Step 3

Use a brush or sponge wedge to apply the setting powder under your eye.
Dust off any excess (to avoid excess product causing it to cake or crease)


Thats it! Try not to go overboard with the powder because then it will defeat the purpose.

I used my Urban Decay eye primer(check my review on this primer here ,my Mac concealer and my Smashbox setting powder(Opan invisible oil blocking powder is good too)

What i used to prevent concealer creasing

Well,this is what works for me,what works for you?

Please feel free to share your beauty secrets under comments!I would love to read about it :)

       

Urban Decay Primer Potion Review

Hello Beauties:) 

The product is marketed as:

"This is it – THE most legendary primer in the beauty industry. Eyeshadow Primer Potion is coveted by makeup artists and makeup junkies alike because it guarantees more vibrant eyeshadow that lasts for 24 hours and NEVER CREASES! Once you experience its powers (plus how smoothly it glides on – an added bonus) you’ll never want to live without it. Original formula dries down invisibly, while Eden, Sin and Greed are shades that can also be worn as shadows or highlighters!

Hi Beauties
Are you an eye shadow person? If yes, you NEED this!

My Collection

This review is LONG overdue.I bought my primer set a few months ago from Rubybox for R399.
There are 4 primers in the set and it is really worth it,worth every cent actually!
There are four different colors for this eyeshadow primer- Original ( light beige); Greed (light yellowish shimmer gold); Sin (champagne shimmer) and Eden (light matte beige).

Packaging

                                                         
On blending, the potion becomes invisible and disappears into the skin 
You have been warned that these primers literally grabs the eyeshadow onto the lids like a magnet so its best not to make mistakes :)
Even really bad eyeshadows look extremely VIBRANT over these primers!
This product eliminates oiliness from your eyelids and you only need a TINY bit for each eye.

Colours and Uses: Greed, Sin and Eden can be used as eyeshadows or highlights.
Greed: It's highly pigmented light shimmery yellow gold .
Original: This is a very light beige
Sin: shimmery champagne with pink undertones (My Fave)
Eden: light matte beige

Texture: very light and smooth and blends over your own eyelid easily.Its like a mousse liquid texture.

Packaging: Its in these very cute potion genie like bottles with an applicator wand. While I haven't gotten to the point where I've used so much primer that I'm at the end of the bottle, I've read ALOT of internet outrage at product being stuck in the bottle and not being able to get at all of it. Some people were even cutting open the packaging to get to it, which is a little extreme but if you're like me then you would want to get all the product for which you paid for.Even though the bottle looks cute,Im not a fan because the product is then stuck in the curves of the bottle.I see Urban Decays packaging is now different (Tubeform) which is much better.

New Packaging

                                                             

Longevity: 10/10-yes i did the test of passing out with my makeup on lol i know its so wrong *beautyfail* but when i woke up,my eye makeup was still so PERFECT and intact! Amazing!The shadows were still in place and NO creasing.I was seriously impressed.Passing out with makeup on,i promise to never do that again!

Cost: It is very pricey.I paid R400 for my set of 4 primers from www.rubybox.co.za. Not all Urban Decay products are available in South Africa but Rubybox have selected Urban Decay products which is quite nice :)
They had  the Urban Decay Naked FAMOUS eyeshadow palette on their online store but it was sold out like...in a day!!!!

Solution to get product out of your tube:
When you THINK its finished:
1 bottle can last a very long time and when you think it is finished,you can still savior whats left in the bottle and it is quite alot of product.
Just pop it into the microwave for a few seconds
Cut the bottle in half
And scrape the product into a little container

Your primer is NOT finished!!!!

                                                         
I honestly do not regret this buy,in fact ,its my favorite product because i love my smokey eyes and been creative with eye makeup.

On blending side of things, the potion becomes invisible and disappears into the skin You have been warned that these primers literally grabs the eyeshadow onto the lids like a magnet so its best not to make mistakes :)Even really bad eyeshadows look extremely VIBRANT over these primers!This product emlinates oiliness from your eyelids and you only need a TINY bit for each eye.

WORTH EVERY CENT :)

Avon Primer and Quad

Tells you where the numbered eye shadow goes on which parts of the eye

Brand

Avon

Where to Buy

From any Avon Representative

-Avon promises Rich colors that glide on your eye preventing any creasing.
-Shades suitable for EVERY skin tone.
-Smokey eyes have never been this easy because the eye shadows are numbered and the box tell you what goes where.

1.Lightest:Brow Bone
2.Accent:Inner Corner
3.Medium:Outer Corner
     4.Darkest:Lash lines

Swatched

                                                             

The fun part is experimenting and applying the colors where ever you want but the numbered eye shadow helps...ALOT.

-The color in the pan is the same color that appears on your eyes which i love and swatching is not even necessary.

I did a swatch of the Metal Eyes quad.

Metal Eyes is a collection of Shimmer White,Gold,Bronzed Brown and Gunpowder Glitter/Pewter.
All these shadows are very pigmented and the white and gold/yellow shadow have the MOST sparkle to them.

These shades swatched nicely especially the pigmented yellow gold..a very rich glittery yellow.
The white shadow is very sparkly and you do not see much of the white.Its very sheer.

I also used an Avon eye primer which is just creamy and gorgeous! I got the 1 in light beige and the texture is so buttery.It just glided on my eye so a little goes a long way!
This primer really keeps eye shadow in place.After i did my look,i wanted to try another and it was so hard for my shadows to come off! So this quad is best paired up with the Avon eye primer.

Avon Primer in Light Beige

Primer swatched

                                                   

When the darker shades gets blended out ,its starts to look sheer :( i guess thats normal so it is more wearable,but you just keep have to applying and layer it up if you want a more dramatic look.
Use a blending brush and just blend!!!!
Quality wise ,i would say its average.I did not like the fallout when applying the shadows on my eye.

With this quad,its best to do eye shadow first then the rest of your face.

This shadows lasted me about a few hours - i kept on touching up on my outer corners because i went for a smokey effect.
