Insane Hack to Stop Makeup From Creasing Under Your Eyes

Learn how to stop makeup from creasing under your eyes with this clever celebrity makeup hack. Just follow along with this simple tutorial and start using this makeup hack for yourself!

Unlike most people on TikTok using this makeup hack, I actually have creasing mature skin that can show with eye concealer.

Tools and materials:

• Bronze eyeshadow palette
• Assorted makeup brushes
• Eyeliner
• Mascara
• Lip balm
• Foundation
• Color correcting concealer
• Contour stick
• Brightening concealer
• Setting powder
• Blush
• Lip liner
• Nude lipstick
• Mauve lip gloss

Here’s my starting point.

JLo’s makeup artist, Scott Barnes, says the key to flawless, perfect, long-lasting, non-creasy under eyes is…lip balm!

Since I don’t show these steps for this makeup hack, check out my tutorial here for how to create a smokey eye look, just using a bronze palette.

2. Apply lip balm

Now for the fun part! Apply lip balm to your under eye area. I’m using the Aquaphor variety which you can feel is very dense.

Apply the lip balm to the nasolabial creases, from the sides of your nostrils down to the sides of your lips. Apply some around your lips as well. Let’s see if this not only prevents creasing, but also helps the makeup to stay on all day.

3. Foundation

Apply your foundation with a makeup brush.

Use a smaller brush in tighter areas for more precision.

4. Apply concealer

Apply concealer in your dark, red and blue zones to camouflage and color-correct. The peachy-orange tone cancels out the blue, which I have a lot of under my eyes. If I didn’t do this step, my under eye area would look ashy.

Stipple that out with a brush.

My first impression of the completed side is that it looks very smooth.

5. Contour

Snatch the face by applying a contour stick along the hairline, connecting to your cheekbones.

Blend with a brush.

I usually wear more natural makeup, but this definitely gives me the cheekbones of my dreams.

6. Brighten

Apply brightening concealer.

Then stipple with a brush to blend it out. Use pressing motions to push the concealer into the skin and also build up anything you want to hide.

7. Apply setting powder

Apply setting powder under your eyes with a brush. I’m specifically avoiding using a powder puff since that will be too heavy if you have mature skin and want to stop the creasing under your eyes.

8. Smoke out your under eyes

Shade out your lower lash line using bronze eyeshadow.

9. Apply blush

If you have mature skin, apply your blush with the focus on moving it upward to lift your face, almost in a C formation. Keeping the blush higher will draw attention away from your nasal labial folds.

If you’re aiming for more glow, apply cream colored blush on top of the rosy shade.

10. Lips

Apply lip liner in a shade that’s close to your natural lip color. The nude lip is very JLo.

Then apply a nude lipstick.

I felt like the nude lip was blending away into my face. If your complexion is similar, try popping out your lips slightly with a mauve lip gloss.

My under eyes have never looked better, and I’ve tried all the makeup hacks!

Here’s how my under eyes look in natural light with my phone camera:

Now I’ll give my hair the glam treatment and put on my bronze gown! After this, we’ll see how this no crease makeup hack works after letting the makeup set.

I decided to highlight my brow bone to complete this look.

No joke – my undereyes have never looked better!

I attribute this to both finding the right concealer that works for my skin as well as the viscous consistency of the Aquaphor lip balm.

Here we are again in natural light after a few hours. All I’ve done is redo my lipstick, and as you can see, the under eye area is holding up!
