Is Your Under Eye Makeup Creasing? Check Out These Hacks That Actually Helped Me!
Skin woes often lead to other beauty woes and that’s why skincare is essential for all of us. None of us is immune to skin problems, not even the best of us beauty girls. Recently, my skin decided to act up and create trouble for me and my skin woe might sound like a first-world problem but let’s be honest, they’re real and troubling. The biggest skin trouble that took me forever to resolve was this one – under-eye creasing. For some unknown reason, my under-eye makeup began creasing, making it tough for me to go through my day without having to fix it. TBH, under-eye creasing is more of a skincare woe. When your skin doesn’t get enough care, it acts up and leads to makeup woes. And that’s exactly what happened to me.
As I tried all solutions, I realised that most hacks to deal with this problem don’t actually work. To resolve this skin problem, you have to begin by understanding what’s causing it. Is it stress? Is it skin dehydration? Lack of sleep? Or just your makeup skills? All the articles asking you to change your makeup products won’t actually help in resolving this problem if you’ve been using the same products for a while without facing any troubles, which was the case with me. I knew makeup wasn’t the problem, my skin, however, was. And while I did find some solutions, I decided why not share the gyaan with all of you my lovelies! So, without further ado, let’s dive into resolving this problem with ease!
Take A Look At Your Daily Routine
Your lifestyle could be the cause of your skin problems. Smoking and stress are one of the major causes of skin problems. Your stress shows up on your skin and it’s usually under your eyes. Lack of sleep and hydration can also make your under eyes look stressed and lead to creasing of makeup. The best way to deal with this problem is to fix your lifestyle and get adequate sleep, reduce your stress levels, drink more water and perhaps quit smoking!
Is Your Skincare Regime The Problem?
Any changes in your skincare regime can also lead to skin woes and make your makeup crease, especially in the under-eye region. If you haven’t changed your skincare routine, chances are that this is your skin’s way of telling you that it needs more care and love. Add more hydrating products to your skincare regime. You can begin by adding some hydrating serums like hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. Another thing to do is to add an under-eye serum along with your under-eye cream to give your under-eye region more TLC!
What Makeup Hacks Will Actually Help?
Changing your old makeup products may or may not help but I’ve got some easy tips that will. The first thing to remember is that use your eye serum and under-eye cream as a base for your makeup. Apply these products followed by a primer. You can also start using an eyeshadow primer under your eyes instead of your face primer. The next and most essential thing to remember is to stop using your makeup blender for the under-eye region. Use your fingers to apply your concealer and foundation in the under-eye area. Dab your under-eye slowly with concealer and blend it properly. If you still wish to use a makeup blender, you can try stretching your skin and applying it a little but be mindful when you do it. Stretching it too much can add to your beauty woes. But TBH, it’s best to avoid using a makeup blender. When setting your under-eye makeup with a translucent powder, try to use very little powder or a very lightweight setting powder. Too much translucent powder will make your under-eye area cakey and make it crease. You can also use your finger to apply the setting powder very lightly. In the end, don’t forget to set it with a setting powder.

If your under-eye makeup still creases, give it some time to settle because your skin hydration will take a while to normalise. Another thing you can do is dab it and blend it a little with your finger when you see your under-eye makeup creasing. Here’s to hoping these tried and tested hacks will help resolve your under-eye makeup woes!
