“Make sure when choosing your concealer that it has the right texture,” says Valeria Sarnelle, celebrity makeup artist.
While there are a ton of options to choose from that promise to check off all your boxes, you should consider a few things ahead of making this very important purchase. This may sound like an easy task, but actually choosing the perfect concealer can be a tricky feat. There are so many factors to take into consideration: Is the formula long-wearing? Does it actually brighten, hide blemishes, and color-correct? And does its formula apply seamlessly without caking or looking dry? The best concealers neutralize hyperpigmentation, conceal blemishes, and brighten the area underneath your eyes. Whether you’re looking to cover up dark circles or a breakout that appeared overnight, a concealer is the makeup product you should always keep at the ready.
