Quick answer
Use the Beauty Bakerie 003 Pretzelvania InstaBake 3-in-1 Hydrating Concealer in a triangle shape under your eyes, blend with a damp sponge, and set with a light powder for a bright, crease-free finish.
Why the InstaBake formula works for under-eyes
The 003 Pretzelvania shade is a full-coverage concealer that hides dark circles, discoloration, and signs of fatigue without feeling heavy. Its hydrating formula prevents the dry, cakey look that often ruins under-eye makeup. Because it blends effortlessly, you can build coverage gradually without disturbing your foundation.
One trade-off: full-coverage concealers can crease if you apply too much product or skip setting powder. The key is using a thin layer and locking it in with a translucent powder.
Step-by-step under-eye brightening routine
- Prep the under-eye area: Apply a lightweight eye cream or hydrating serum and let it absorb for 2 minutes. This prevents the concealer from clinging to dry patches. Skipping prep can cause the concealer to look patchy or settle into fine lines.
- Apply concealer in an inverted triangle: Dot the 003 Pretzelvania InstaBake Concealer under your eye, forming a triangle that points down toward your cheek. Use 2–3 small dots—do not use a thick line. A triangle shape lifts the face and covers darkness more naturally than dots alone.
- Blend with a damp sponge or ring finger: Gently tap the concealer into your skin using a damp beauty sponge or your ring finger. Avoid dragging or rubbing—use a stippling motion to keep coverage even. Blending too aggressively pushes product into creases and reduces coverage.
- Layer for extra coverage if needed: Wait 30 seconds for the first layer to set, then add a second thin layer only where darkness still shows. Build coverage gradually to avoid a heavy look. Applying a second layer too soon can make the concealer slide and crease.
- Set with a translucent powder: Using a small fluffy brush, lightly dust a translucent setting powder under your eyes. Press the powder in with a puff for 10 seconds, then brush away the excess. Setting powder locks the concealer in place and prevents creasing throughout the day.
