7 Concealers That Will Make Your Dark Circles *Disappear*
August 12, 2022
Under-eye concealer is like the undergarment of makeup. At its best, it’s undetectable and gives skin a seamless, flawless finish. At its worst, it’s cakey and it looks really obvious. The difference between a good and bad concealer ultimately comes down to finding the right type for you; finding the perfect texture and shade and applying it correctly will determine just how good your concealer looks — and how well it covers those dark circles.
From creams to pens, light-reflecting to full-coverage, there are a dizzying amount of formulas to choose from. Below, we rounded up our favorite under-eye concealers that can help you kiss dark circles goodbye.
Best Concealer for a Long-Lasting Look
Dermablend Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer
This full-coverage concealer is perfect for hiding dark circles for up to 24 hours and provides a soft matte finish you’ll love. It’s completely non-comedogenic, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone.
Best Waterproof Concealer
Maybelline New York Super Stay Under Eye Concealer
There’s a reason this concealer is called “super stay.” It really does not budge after application. The formula is waterproof, easy to apply with its paddle applicator and is smudge–resistant, ensuring dark circle coverage for hours on end.
Best Anti-Aging Concealer
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer
This formula is waterproof and highly pigmented, so it covers even the darkest rings. It’s also infused with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid and collagen to plump up mature skin, which not only makes dark circles less noticeable but also smooths wrinkles.
Best Concealer for Skincare Benefits
L’Oréal Paris True Match Eye Cream in a Concealer
For an eye-cream-meets makeup hybrid, try this multitasking formula. It contains 0.5% pure hyaluronic acid to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and has buildable coverage to help conceal discoloration. It comes in fourteen shades and is a game-changer for dark circles.
Best Multi-Purpose Concealer
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer
Although you can wear this formula all over the face, we highly recommend it for the under-eye area thanks to its lightweight, full-coverage and blendable finish. It goes up to 24-hour wear without creasing or caking, and has a thin doe-foot applicator for precise application.
Best Concealer for a Full-Coverage, Lightweight Finish
UOMA Stay Woke Concealer
Stay Woke is one of our favorite full-coverage options if you need color correction and brightening benefits. This formula comes in a wide variety of shades to give your under-eye area the coverage it needs and deserves.
Best Concealer for Reducing the Appearance of Fine Lines
