I first apply in very small amounts, the eye FIRM x. After several minutes, when it dries, instead of using eye CREAM, I use a lite eye oil product (like Eliz Arden's gold eye capsules or Philosophy's Omega 369 oil. I gently pat a little oil onto the residue. It seems to get rid of the residue without significantly affecting the action of the firmer. Also, apply the FIRMx ONLY where you really need it. Then, you can carefully use concealer, moisturizer, oil, etc. in the the areas under the eye that didn't have product applied to. So, pick and choose where you really need each product you use.

You can dab off the white residue with a cloth. Then continue to use your lotion/make-up routine as usual.
You can also mix this cream with your moisturizer.

It might be to drying for the entire eyelid but you might try only using on the brow bone and holding the skin upwards as it dries. This will lift the llid without the drying effect on the actual lid.

You have to play with it to find what works. I am able to use some makeup with it. I still like it because there is nothing out there that I've found anyway that will shrink loose skin like it does. I sometimes wear it all alone and it seems to hide some of the discoloration I might have used makeup on. Using more of it rather than less seems to work better.

I only use under my eyes, and don't need any makeup on top of it. It does have a naturally lightening matte finish, so it works really well for me. I don't wear a lot of makeup, but I do wear eyeshadow, liner and mascara every day, those are not affected at all by this product for under eye lines and puffiness.
I have tried EVERYTHING really. Every cream from La Mer, to Dior, Amore, Nutra Bisse. Thermage, Fraxel, lower eye surgery. So when I say this product works, it is not a random comment. It's for certain people with specific issues, and for those with puffines and lines under the eyes THIS WORKS. People have told me how amazing I look, and I'm saying at least 10 years younger than I actually am. Nobody who doesn't know my age would ever guess.

I have used this product for my crows feet, expression lines/ frown lines and my laugh lines. It does work on all areas, however, not as effective as using it for crows feet. You just need to be carefull with this product to catch that white resudue. It's not worth the residue for me, you have to keep wiping it off and before you know it, the product is off due to you wiping the residue off.
