Two-Step Hack To Prevent Under-Eye Creasing

Step One: Apply Glowy Balm And Concealer On Your Hand

To begin, TikTok beauty guru @taxinoodle melts the glowy balm in her palm. The key is to thoroughly rub the balm into your hands to form a light moisturising film.

Next, apply your favourite concealer to your palm, right next to the glowy balm.

Step Two: Mix The Formulas And Apply Onto Your Under-Eyes

Now, mix the two formulas together, creating what’s essentially a tinted glowy balm.

However, you don’t want to blend the two products entirely. What you should do is take a bit of concealer onto your finger and blend it into the glowy balm film on the outer corners of your palm.

After that, simply apply the mixture onto your under-eye area as you normally would, and voila, no more under-eye creasing.

According to @taxinoodle, while the coverage may be slightly less with this hack, her under-eye is definitely not creasing or feeling dry at all. Just take a look at how luminous and hydrated her under-eye appears!
