Blend, Set, And Bake Your Concealer For A Flawless Finish

Considering @paintedbyspencer's "blend, set, bake" tutorial got over 223K likes, the beauty creator definitely did something right. Over 900 people replicated his technique in a video using Spencer's audio. Many other makeup artists find this same process essential to avoiding a concealer horror story, but before you even get to the blending step, New York-based celebrity makeup artist Lisa Aharon told Byrdie that you must prep the eye area with a moisturizing primer. "Keeping the under-eye area moist and hydrated is crucial to avoid the appearance of dry, crepey skin."

Once your eyes are hydrated and primed, you're ready to blend concealer into your undereye. Makeup artist Nina Ubhi walked through the blending step in her YouTube video: "I'm going to get my beauty blender, and I'm gonna go right under the eye with the tip of the beauty blender to make sure that there are no creases." Then, she warned, "If you don't do this and you go in with the setting powder, you're setting creases."
