What should people look for in a concealer?
Concealing a pimple, discoloration, or smoothing fine lines isn’t just about application. The actual formula is what matters here, according to Bruce.
Coverage: “Choose a concealer with sufficient coverage to address your specific concerns, whether it’s dark spots, blemishes, or under-eye dark circles.” He recommends using with medium or buildable coverage for these specific concerns.
Shade Match: “Ensure the concealer shade matches your skin tone or is slightly lighter for brightening effects.” To brighten undereye circles, he suggest opting for a shade or two lighter than your perfect match.
Longevity: “Opt for long-wearing formulas that won’t fade or crease throughout the day.”
Skin Benefits: “Look for concealers with skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or peptides to hydrate, brighten, or treat skin concerns.”
From the cult favorite Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer to Laura Mercier’s Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer, these are the best picks for every skin concern.
