Giorgio Armani makeup artist Tim Quinn offers pro tips.
Question: What's the best way to cover the undereye area and keep concealer from creasing throughout the day?
Answer: Under-eye
concealer poses challenges no matter the season: In the summer, it's
melted by the time you get to the office; in the winter, it's prone to
settling into lines and looking dry and flaky. During the cold season,
prep the night before with a heavy moisturizing eye cream, then switch to a lighter brightening formula in
the morning. Once it's absorbed for 10 to 15 minutes, reach for an
undereye concealer a shade lighter than your skin tone—it should be
"more pliant and light-reflective than your regular concealer, which is
dense and opaque and used for situations that arise on the face," says
Giorgio Armani celebrity makeup artist Tim Quinn—and a color corrector (We like Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector Concealer—yellow covers purplish-blue dark circles and green covers redness).
"Apply
the color corrector by making small dashes next to nose and fanning out
with a synthetic concealer brush. In between, make small dashes
with your concealer—think of them as rays of light coming down and out
from the undereye," says Quinn, who then blends the dashes together with
his ring finger in a tapping motion. To finish, you just need to set it
gently with "the slightest touch of loose translucent powder, just a
whisper, to help to prevent creasing, and if you find your concealer
traveling during the day, a tiny bit of Giorgio Armani Crema Nera Eye Cream
tapped along the outer edge and blended in toward your nose will
refresh your undereye without adding another layer of concealer."
