Collection: Concealers

Choosing concealer

Concealer works best when its texture, coverage and tone suit the area you want to cover. A lightweight, flexible under-eye formula can brighten shadows without looking heavy. A buildable face concealer gives more control over localised redness or uneven tone. A richer corrective concealer can provide greater opacity where you want more coverage.

For a skin-like result, start with less product than you think you need. Apply small dots only to the area, then tap the edges into the surrounding makeup. Add another fine layer if necessary. Under the eyes, avoid applying full coverage across the entire area when only the inner corner or deepest shadow needs it.

Finding a concealer shade

For blemishes and other areas on the face, choose the closest match to your foundation or natural skin tone. For under-eye brightening, a slightly brighter shade can work, but one that is much lighter may look grey or obvious. Peach-toned correctors can visually counteract blue or purple-looking shadows, though the right choice still depends on skin depth and the individual formula.

You can apply concealer before or after foundation. Applying foundation first often shows where you need less concealer; targeted correcting may work better first. Cream and liquid products generally sit beneath a light dusting of powder. Check each product’s directions, especially around the eye area, and stop using a cosmetic if it causes irritation.
