When I try to apply concealer, my undereye area looks all crepey, what's the trick to applying it right?

The undereye area is so tender; placing concealer on it has to be done ever so delicately. First, chose the shade of your concealer carefully: For pale skin, use a light beige with yellow undertones. For olive skin, use a medium beige with pink undertones. And for darker skin, use a medium to medium-dark shade with peach undertones.

Gently patting as you go, apply moisturizing eye cream about one inch below the eye. Remember cream "travels up", so don't place it too close to your lower lid. Give it a minute to absorb. Next, lightly place a small bit of concealer directly over the area. You can use a small, square, flat concealer brush or you can dot it on with your finger. Blend with a soft touch, adding a hint more moisturizer if necessary for a more translucent finish.

Always start with less than you think you need. You can add more if needed, but the idea is to use as little as possible. If the color is right, you shouldn't need to pack it on, which is probably what's creating the crepey look you are experiencing.
