Especially in summer's ever-climbing temperatures, keeping our
concealer from creasing into those fine lines underneath our eyes (we
should have started with the eye cream earlier, we know).
Setting spray and loose powder are also no match; Even after taking
steps to carefully blend and set our undereyes, they end up creased and
worn, possibly with streaks of eyeliner decorating the area.

Luckily, makeup artist Michael Ashton—who has worked with Adele for
over a decade, NBD—has the fix for our issue. Though the Marc Jacobs
Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Eye Primer was intended for use on your
lids, Ashton finds himself re-purposing it for the under eye area to
give concealer extra staying power. "If you take a small amount and
apply it to the area before putting concealer on, it creates this
smooth, velvety texture for the concealer to lay over," he tells InStyle during
a recent meeting to discuss Marc Jacobs's fall beauty launches. "In the
same way it keeps your eyeshadow intact, it prevents your concealer
from moving around so much."

While it won't replace your eye cream altogether, Ashton mentions
that it is a little moisturizing, thanks to the infusion of coconut
extract used in the mix. Additionally, ingredients like bark extract and
silica spheres help to absorb any oil your skin is likely to produce
during the day.
