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

Product Information

Named InStyle’s best concealer for under eyes, it only makes sense that Tarte Shape Tape Full-Coverage Concealer would score a spot on this list. For starters, this concealer provides full coverage with a matte finish, meaning it has the ability to mask dark circles, hyperpigmentation, and acne with just one application. On top of that, the formula is made with good-for-your-skin ingredients like shea butter (which soothes skin), mango butter (which adds hydration), and licorice root (which brightens from the inside out). Plus, these ingredients work overtime to keep the product from creasing and settling into fine lines. As for the standout feature: This concealer has incredible staying power, which means you won’t need to reapply throughout the day. 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.

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."

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."

Like foundation, concealers offer different finishes, including matte, radiant, natural, and soft, as well as varying levels of coverage (sheer, medium, and full). "I personally like a moisturizing fuller-coverage concealer, as it can be sheered down or built up depending on your concerns," says Sesnek.The 10 Best Makeup Products with SPF of 2023, Tested and Reviewed Your Questions, Answered How do you apply concealer? 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.

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.

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.”Aqua, Dimethicone, Isododecane, Alcohol, Triethylhexanoin, Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(Trimethylsiloxy)Silylethyl Dimethicone, Cyclopentaxiloxane, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Butylene Glycol, PEG-10 Dimethicone, Sodium Chloride, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Quaternium-90 Bentonite, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Aluminum Hydroxide, PEG-10 Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disodium EDTA, Polymethylsilesquioxane, CI 77891, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499.
