The Makeup Artist Darling
This concealer is a favorite among makeup artists like Lisa Eldridge, and for good reason — the creamy, pigmented formula covers up dark circles and blurs the appearance of lines and wrinkles without looking like an obvious cover-up job, and only the smallest dab is needed for all-day coverage. It brightens skin without reflecting light for a seamless, natural finish. It comes in 10 shades that range from the ultra-fair to deep with gold and brown undertones.

The Cruelty-Free Illuminator
The consistency of this made-in-the-U.S. concealer pen was a bit heavier than expected coming out of the tube, but blended out easily into a lightweight, skin-perfecting veil. Just be sure not to over-apply — you'll know you have if creases show up immediately. Simply pat away the excess and you'll be left with light, natural-looking coverage that lasts for at least eight hours.

The Your-Skin-But-Better Effect
Urban Decay expanded their best-selling Naked line to include this lightweight concealer. The high-tech formula contains peptides and green tea that help improve the appearance of skin while covering it up. A hydrating blend of a lychee complex sodium hyaluronate ensures that skin doesn't dry out and keeps the medium- to full-coverage concealer from looking cake-y or settling into lines.

The Drugstore Dark-Circle Corrector
This dark circle-neutralizing concealer is easy to apply, thanks to the spongy applicator. The formula itself is lightweight, so it feels like a powder, but gives the coverage of a creamier concealer. The best part? This under-$10 find can stand up to an entire workday without creasing.

The Full-Coverage Find
This heavy-duty concealer is a solid pick for masking imperfections and dark circles. The thick, creamy consistency is surprisingly crease-resistant, lasting through the workday plus a long commute each way. However, note that if you apply even the slightest bit too much, you'll need to go back about five minutes after applying and tap away the noticeable excess product. After that, you're golden for 10 hours.
