L.A. Girl Cosmetics Pro Conceal HD Concealer, Fawn

Product Information

Concealers come in a wide range of coverages and finishes, both of which will give you different looks. In terms of coverage, concealers are offered in sheer, medium, and full levels (just like foundations). Based on your needs, you can find the right coverage level for you. Plus, if you need more coverage to hide a zit or soften dark circles, most concealers are easy to build on, so you can add as much as you please. ( NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer and Daytime Eye Cream, Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless Oil-Free 24-Hour Concealer, and MAC Pro Longwear Concealer are all very buildable.) In addition to camouflaging blemishes and dark spots, this concealer can also be used to contour and highlight certain facial features. (We especially like using it to brighten up our cheekbones since it has a radiant finish.) “Once you blend the product into your skin, you will automatically appear fresh,” Faith says. For best results, apply a small amount to the areas of your face that you want to cover, and blend out lightly — with a brush, sponge, or your fingers — until you get the coverage you want. Since this concealer offers buildable coverage, start small and work your way up if you want a fuller finish. If you have oily skin or are worried about creasing, you can set this concealer with a translucent powder for longer wear.

The most important consideration is the shade, so be sure to view the colors on an untinted screen when shopping online. In most cases, you should opt for a concealer that's one to two shades lighter than your foundation. However, celebrity makeup artist Robert Sesnek says, "If you're using concealer for blemishes, I recommend matching it to your foundation." If you receive an item which is faulty it would be really helpful if you could send us a picture if at all possible.Whether you’re looking to sharpen your jawline or hide a scar, the Maybelline New York Fit Me Liquid Concealer gets the job done. Its effortless blendability is what makes it one of the best concealers for contouring. It’ll appear fresh all day long, leaving skin looking naturally flawless. Concealers are one of the hardest-working items in our makeup bag. They can magically erase under-eye circles to help you fake a full night’s sleep, hide a breakout, and fake an even skin tone. But there’s one method you might be missing out on, and that’s using the best concealers for contouring. The makeup multitasker can also be used to contour and highlight your face. In terms of dark skin tones, this product offers a handful of shades that seamlessly blend into darker complexions. “There are a variety of shades in this line, from olive to deep, beautiful ebony,” Velázquez says. “The undertones of this formula also offer a warm finish without looking too red, orange, gray, or ashy.” NARS is very well known for its full coverage foundation, so you can only imagine how amazing their concealer is, too,” says beauty and fashion educator Tracy Faith. “The Radiant Creamy Concealer is designed to provide all-day crease-free coverage.” On top of lasting for over 16 hours (yes, an InStyle editor put it to the test), this top-rated product can effortlessly cover everything from acne breakouts to dark circles with nothing more than a tiny drop. (It’s worth noting that a little goes a long way, so be sure to only apply a small amount at a time.) Regardless of its drugstore steal status, the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Concealer is an easy-to-blend formula that will make contouring so much easier. It feels so light on skin, yet it can conceal or correct whatever needs to be camouflaged. It promises up to 16 hours of coverage and the radiant formula will leave your skin glowing, making it ideal as a highlighter, too.

One of the main questions everyone has about concealer is when you should apply it in your makeup routine. And, as it turns out, most makeup artists agree it should go on after foundation. “By applying your concealer after your foundation, it’s easier to see where you need additional coverage and you’ll use less product overall, which is always the most flattering,” Riner says. Flowers agrees, adding, “Concealer should go on after foundations or tinted moisturizers. It’s the final touch after applying an even foundation to conceal or brighten any area that needs extra attention.” Concealer can also be used as a cream highlighter on the bridge of your nose, lower forehead, brow bone, cupid's bow, upper cheekbones, or chin. Celebrity makeup artist Erika La' Pearl explains, "You want a concealer to give the skin a bit of brightness while eliminating any dark circles, concealing redness, and covering up any dullness on the face." Cover Care Full Coverage Concealer is my fave,” says celebrity makeup artist Andrew Velázquez. “The skincare ingredients infused in this formula are very helpful for balancing out discoloration, without getting cakey throughout the day.” (You can thank sunflower seed oil and vegetable glycerin for this since they keep skin hydrated.) Plus, this concealer is 100 percent vegan and made without alcohol and parabens. Light Yellow Corrector: Corrects dullness caused by purple/blue undertones and brightens under eye circles for fairer skin tones. If you choose to use a sponge, simply apply a small amount of concealer to the area you want to cover. Then, lightly wet the sponge and gently tap the concealer into your skin. Just note that some of the product is likely to get absorbed into the sponge, so if you want full coverage, you might need to add another layer. Using a sponge will help your makeup sink into your skin, which will provide you with a more natural finish.

The Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer makes every best of list for good reason. Boasting an expansive shade range, you’ll find the right match for every complexion and undertone. The award-winning concealer lasts for up to 16 hours and does it all — it corrects, contours and highlights. Fine lines, breakouts and any other imperfections are instantly masked with the medium coverage liquid formula. It’s infused with a blend of botanicals — specifically magnolia bark extract, grape seed extract and vitamin E — to moisturize, firm and strengthen skin. Ultimately, this concealer’s fragrance- and oil-free formula is the star of the show. It’s made to stay on skin for up to 24 hours, which means you won't need to reapply it. On top of that, it can withstand just about anything since it’s water-, sweat-, and humidity-proof. (You can wear this concealer to the gym, beach, and anywhere in between.) This is also a great concealer for those who want to add more coverage to their look because it can be built on top of without becoming cakey. As a bonus, it’s also ideal for aging skin since it doesn’t settle into fine lines. While there’s so much to love about it, we wish we could change the pump, because it dispenses entirely too much product at once. Aqua, Cyclopentasiloxane, Silica, Isododecane, Propylene Glycol, Dimethicone, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Nylon-12, Isononyl Isononanoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isohexadecane, Acrylates / Polytrimethylsiloxymethacrylate Copolymer, Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Sulphate, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Bis-PEG/PPG-14/14 Dimethicone, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, [+/- CI 77492, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77499]

Alternatively, if you want to cover up a blemish, simply apply a small dot of concealer to the blemish and tap it into the skin. As mentioned previously, if you want to use concealer to disguise a blemish, look for a shade that is closest to your foundation so you don’t draw more attention to the area. (For example, if you have a zit, try not to cover it up with a light, radiant-finish concealer. This might make the area more noticeable. Instead, opt for a matte concealer that’s the same shade as your foundation so the two can blend in with each other.) IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Breakout Full-Coverage Concealer is our favorite for covering blemishes. Shade: For undereye circles, opt for a color that's a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone, which "will brighten up the under eye area and disguise the dark circles," says Whelan. For dark spots, look for peach undertones to neutralize the dark brown cast. To cover acne, try and match your skin tone exactly or grab a green- or yellow-tinted formula to help neutralize the redness of the spot. MAC Pro Longwear Concealer is an excellent long-wear concealer,” Flowers explains. “It’s not only brightening, but it’s also waterproof, has very buildable coverage, and its matte texture is excellent for oily skin.” Aside from being able to brighten skin, this full-coverage concealer also camouflages zits, covers up dark spots, and evens out texture. Created by physician Craig Roberts and his makeup artist wife, Flori Roberts, Dermablend is the ideal brand for anyone who is looking for a hybrid between makeup and skincare. The products in the line have the perfect combination of good-for-your-skin formulas and high-powered makeup ingredients, which are safe for all skin types, tones, and conditions. One product in particular that delivers both skincare benefits and makeup capabilities is the brand’s top-rated full-coverage concealer.When it comes to creating a fresh, wide-awake look, concealer is essential. Designed to be applied after foundationand before setting powder, its number one job is to cover under-eye circles, pimples, dark spots, and scars. But masking blemishes is far from the only thing concealer does. You can apply concealer to any part of your face that you want to camouflage, although where you apply it can produce different outcomes. “If I am going for a light look for work, I would apply the concealer on the inner corner and outer corner of my under eyes as it creates a natural effect,” Faith says. Because the concealer is targeted at a small area as opposed to a large area, this can make it look more natural. “For a bright under-eye look, I would draw two upside-down triangles beneath my eyes. Then, I would blend gently and dab the concealer using a brush.” By applying it in different areas, you can brighten up different parts of your face. Instead of buying extra concealers in lighter and darker shades, you could just opt for the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Underpainting Color Correction Palette and be all set. It includes all the shades you need to conceal, contour and highlight, and you can even custom blend the four tones to get the exact hue you need. The creamy concealers are buildable and boast impressive color correction to erase darkness, redness and dullness.

Finally, you can use your fingers if you don’t want to use a brush or sponge. Using your fingers is best for applying concealer to places on your face where the product can easily crease (like under your eyes or around your mouth) since you can really get in there and blend it out. In terms of applying concealer to your under-eye area, Riner says making sure the skin around your eyes is hydrated is the key to success. “Begin your concealer application immediately after your eye cream,” she explains. “Using your ring finger, press the concealer in, only where you see darkness. Light layers are best. The warmth of your finger combined with the patting motion will blend it seamlessly.” Its name makes it obvious that the Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer is meant to do a lot more than your average concealer. The full-coverage, buildable, long-wear concealer can be used to conceal, contour, highlight and retouch. No matter how much you dab on, the versatile formula will never crease, delivering weightless, flawless wear. Its vast shade range is equally impressive. It also boosts skin while you wear it thanks to hyaluronic acid, alpine rose to aid overall skin health and coconut water for moisture. Depending on what you're trying to achieve, the undertone for your concealer might be different than your foundation. For instance, if you have olive skin, your foundation might have neutral undertones, while your concealer may have peach undertones to correct for dark circles.

Finish: For dark circles and under eye discoloration, "look for concealers that have radiant or luminizing formulas," says Whelan. For acne and dark spots, look for long-lasting matte finish that will stay in place all day. For mature skin, steer away from anything shimmery or too heavy, which "will look unnatural," cautions Whelan. Instead, choose a medium coverage liquid concealer and apply sparingly.
