Quick Answer

When The Face Pencil creases, the fix is usually in how you prep the skin and how you apply the product — not the formula itself. A lighter hand and a quick set can solve most creasing issues.

Why The Face Pencil Creases — and Why That's Normal

The Face Pencil is a creamy, buildable concealer designed to melt into skin without looking chalky. That same creamy texture can settle into fine lines if the area is too moist or if too much product is applied. Creasing is common under the eyes and on mature skin, where the skin is thinner and more prone to movement. The good news: it's almost always fixable without switching products.

Diagnosis: Why Is The Face Pencil Creasing?

  • Symptom: You see a visible line of product settled into under-eye wrinkles or smile lines within an hour of application.
  • Likely Cause: Too much product applied to skin that is either too oily, too dry, or not fully prepped. The Face Pencil's creamy formula needs a balanced surface — not excess moisturizer or powder.
  • Corrective Action: 1. Gently blot the area with a tissue to remove excess oil or moisture. 2. Use a small amount of The Face Pencil — dot it on and blend with a fingertip or damp sponge. 3. Set with a translucent powder only where needed, using a light pressing motion. If creasing persists after reducing the amount and setting lightly, try applying a very thin layer of eye cream and waiting 2 minutes before concealer.
  • When to Stop or Choose Another Option: If you have very deep static wrinkles or extremely dry skin that flakes, The Face Pencil may not be the best choice for that specific area. In that case, consider a thinner liquid concealer or use The Face Pencil only on blemishes and redness, not under the eyes.

Product Facts

  • The Face Pencil: The Face Pencil is a creamy yet dense concealer that provides buildable coverage to conceal redness, blemishes and even skin tone, while remaining virtually undetectable. Because it's dense and creamy, applying too much at once can cause the product to pool in fine lines. A light, layered application prevents creasing.
