Nisha, **do you put eye cream or moisturizer under your eyes? If not, at least put foundation under there so the concealer doesn’t cling to the delicate skin of your under eye area. Also, what brush do you use? I use the Bobbi Brown corrector and I find that the best way to apply it is to dab-and-roll it on using your ring finger. I always put on the Bobbi Brown eye cream underneath and let it settle in before applying my concealer. You should apply very little and layer it on in thin layers, at least the Bobbi Brown Corrector. **

And when you set it, how do you apply the powder? For any concealing work, you should ALWAYS use a velour puff (they are quite inexpensive, less than $10-$12 at most and they are reusable since you can wash them). The way to apply powder into a velour is to dab the puff into the lid and grab as much powder as you can from the lid (considering it’s the lid, it wont have much powder on it to begin with) and squeeze the puff and rub it together until the powder really works into the puff. And then gently roll it on to the area. You should be left with skin-like results since not only did you NOT use a ton of powder, you pressed it in so it looks natural and not caked on one bit.

Here is a video of the velour puff + loose powder technique. Watch after 6:33:
