Concealer is a double-edged sword; it covers our dark circles in a flash, only to gather in our smile lines moments later.

“Dusting powder on top of concealer can cause creasing,” he told The Cut. “Prepping concealer with a primer first does not.”
So unlearn all you’ve heard about setting your concealer with powder (unless, of course, you are totally smooth of skin) and look to your eye primer instead – because if it’s intended to prevent your eyeshadow creasing, it’ll do the same for your concealer and foundation as well.
Ashton’s fave is the Marc Jacobs Under(Cover) Perfecting Coconut Eye Primer, S$69, that has a smooth and silicone-y, yet light formula.
We’re in.
