Thin and liquidy, thick concealers cake up and crease usually

I would personally never use a cream concealer under my eyes. The skin there is far too thin for something so heavy and can just end up looking cakey and dry. Go for liquid, and if you need better coverage use a color corrector underneath.

My Bobbi Brown concealer is creamy. I have zero issues with it. If any concealer, regardless of consistency, will crease and cake up on anyone if the undereye area is dehydrated (a decent eye cream will solve that problem) or you apply far too much.

Thanx shelley!!..how to understand how much amount should be applied so that it does not cake up..I apply it until and unless the dark circles do not show up anymore..is that too much?.. or should I apply a corrector before and then a slight amount of concealer?

I agree with everyone here. I will suggest starting with a tiny bit and building little by little. Once you've overdone it, you're kinda screwed lol! I use a tiny bit and tap away with my beauty blender dupe and repeat the process as needed.

If anyone is intrigued by the words "beauty blender dupe" as I would be if I saw them lol, I have a new love in my life and it's called the real techniques complexion sponge! Not a dupe in look or feel, but the end result when using it is EXACT.

I think it depends what you use it for I'd say thinner under eyes and slightly thicker to hide blemishes
