MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer

MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer

We all have that one friend who's there for you through thick and thin. That's the best way to describe this versatile concealer, which is available in 23 shades. This long-lasting formula never fails to get the job done regardless of whether you're battling acne scars or dark circles. And it especially works like a dream if you're oily, as the formula isn't overly creamy.

Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer

Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer

This liquid concealer dries down to a beautiful matte finish and is ideal for under eyes or anywhere redness or blemishes tend to creep up. Dab the slightest amount on with the doefoot applicator — a little goes a long way! — then buff a damp blending sponge to achieve smooth, even skin. Bonus: setting powder isn't necessary when this concealer is in the mix . . . it won't budge!

Don't let the affordable price tag of this concealer fool you into believing it can't perform. The easy-to-use tube is packed with a lightweight but dense formula that masks imperfections of all kinds. If you moisturize your face well and use your fingers to apply this product, we're pretty sure it'll earn a permanent spot in your makeup bag.

Wander Beauty Dualist Matte and Illuminating Concealer​​

This double-sided concealer is your go-to when you want the best of both worlds. One end is a full-coverage cream concealer that still manages to feel comfy, while the other side is a liquid formula with a doefoot applicator that offers generous brightening benefits. We like using the former on blemishes and the latter on dark circles.

Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer

There are four words to describe this concealer: magic in a pot. A teeny bit of this pigmented formula can cover up even the most stubborn scars. Loaded with jojoba oil, honey, and minerals, this corrector-concealer has a pretty thick consistency that requires patience with blending, but it'll all pay off for the natural-looking finish you'll achieve. Be sure to lock your work in place with setting powder since the formula is quite hydrating.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place High Cover Concealer SPF 35

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place High Cover Concealer SPF 35

High pigmentation and SPF 35 are just a few reasons we love this oil-free, creamy concealer. Its blendable texture lends itself well to concealing with a tiny pointed brush (goodbye, sun spots!) and it doesn't settle into those pesky fine lines.

Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème

Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème

Make this noncomedogenic concealer your staple for covering redness or dark circles. The formula is on the heavier side, so you'll need to spend a little extra time on application, whether you choose to blend it in with a damp sponge or pat it into skin gently with a fingertip. With either route you take, you can be certain that your finished look won't budge. The formula also deserves kudos for its impressive shade range, which includes a pure white option for highlighting or creating the perfect shade for your skin tone.
