Professional makeup artists have various tricks to make their clients' faces look flawless - and more importantly, without creasing into lines.

- If in a hurry, use a separated tissue to gently press on the under-eye area after applying cream to remove excess.
- Opt for a lightweight concealer with a flexible texture to minimize creasing.
- Apply concealer only where needed, focusing on areas of shadow, using a small, pointed synthetic brush.
