"I like this under eye concealer because it offers creamy, buildable, highly blendable, medium to full coverage and has a pretty natural finish," says makeup artist Courtney Dailey. "Also, I personally am a fan of using a wand for under eye concealing." It comes in 22 shades and is a great complement to the brand's Flawless Fusion foundation.
Delesparra tells us that this four-in-one concealer won her over the day it launched — and it's been true love ever since. "You can conceal, contour, highlight, and retouch with this one product, which offers full coverage and a natural finish for 12 hours. It will not sit in any lines or creases and just leaves you looking flawless," she says. "Also, I love taking pictures when wearing this product because it photographs so well."
If you can afford to splurge, spend your money wisely on Cle de Peau Beaute's Radiant Corrector Concealer. Irwin says it's the best high end concealer on the market, hands down. "It's been voted best concealer in almost every best of beauty issue, ever. The consistency covers everything, it blends like a dream, and it has an SPF of 25," she tells us. "It works on textured skin, on creepy under eyes, and on discoloration. It's pretty much the gold standard." The only drawback is that it doesn't have a wide color selection — so CDP, hear our pleas to add more!
Yep, Maybelline is so good that two of its products made this list of makeup artist favorites. "The Super Stay comes in a great color range, and the consistency isn't thick while still being highly pigmented," says Irwin. "I especially recommend it for those with normal to oily skin types." She adds that it has awesome holdup throughout the day — even in extreme heat and humidity.
Many makeup artists — including Delesparra — agree: Kevyn Aucoin's Sensual Skin Enhancer is one of the best concealers on the market. She says, "First off, I love the fact that it's waterproof. Second, you will find it to be super hydrating because its main ingredients are jojoba oil and honey. Your undereye feels so moisturized after it's applied and it will never look cake-y." The product works to cover, correct, and conceal everything from minor redness to moderate hyperpigmentation to dark circles and discoloration. It's formulated for all skin types to leave a glowing, hydrated, natural finish.
