Best eye cream under concealer

[sampals12]

I seem to have a really hard time finding an eye cream that plays well with concealer. What is the best eye cream to keep the eye area hydrated without interfering with makeup application and longevity? I am 31 and live in a dry, cold climate (CO); I have some fine lines that are prone to creasing with concealer, and I feel like I do need some hydration under the eyes. Right now I have:

-Biossance Squalane eye cream – I've been wearing this at night because one time I applied concealer over it and the eye cream started peeling off – maybe I just applied too much?!

-First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy AM Gel Cream – this one seems to play the best with concealers but it's still...

-Lancome Visionnaire Yeux Eye Cream Advanced Multi-Correcting Eye Balm. This one doesn't feel very moisturizing but I was sold on the blurring promises as I have some texture under my eyes, but it also gets a little funky with concealer and it's hard to know which concealer will work over the top of it. 

Maybe I will try a tiny bit of the FAB one under a tiny bit of the Lancome one and see what happens. I would appreciate any tips, tricks and product recommendations!

Thanks!

I have really been loving the new Auto Correct eye cream from Sunday Riley.  It addresses any eye concerns you may have (puffiness, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, you name it!).  Great natural yet super effective ingredients.  You can use it 360 and it does not interfere with makeup application. 

In general I like to allow my skincare products to sink into the skin for about 5 minutes before going in with makeup so that the products don't bunch up on each other.  Good luck!

@sampals12 I agree with @GG84!!!! The banana eye cream is the answer to all my problems. It’s an eye cream and primer all in one. Soooooo glad I got it.

I will have to try that - thank you!

@sampals12 I recently got the new Olehenriksen Banana Eye Cream and it pairs fantastically with concealer. It has banana powder in it to help correct dark circles and is meant to be used as a base. I've noticed a differnce in my dark circles and havent had any concealer or foundation break down.

Sounds amazing - thanks for the tip! I will definitely be trying this one.

I’ve always had similar problems with concealer. Maybe this is weird but what helps me is to take a TINY, minuscule amount of an oil (argan, marula-whatever you have) and pat that under my eyes after finishing my skincare routine. After letting it sit while I apply my eye makeup I pat my concealer over it. This has help get rid of the creased, patchy looking concealer I used to see. I think patting instead of rubbing is important as well. Good luck!

That's a great tip - I will try that! Thanks!

IT Cosmetics bye bye undereye pairs with concealer.  I recommend.

I've used a few others - fresh black tea and a couple of Caudalie products which also worked ok, but IT seems the most makeup friendly. It soaks into the skin a bit more and isn't greasy.

Sounds great! Thanks for the tip!

How long do you wait after doing your skincare routine to apply makeup @sampals12? 🙂

Sometimes 5 minutes, but most of the time

I will wait quite a while before applying concealer and I haven't noticed much of a difference.
