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

Product Information

Light Yellow Corrector: Corrects dullness caused by purple/blue undertones and brightens under eye circles for fairer skin tones. A cult botanical favorite, Ami Colé is a brand to obsess over. The concealer, designed as an evolution of the brand's beloved Skin-Enhancing Tint, offers medium, buildable coverage in 12 shades designed specifically to match undertones in melanin-rich skin. Active naturals like baobab seed extract, pumpkin seed extract, and hibiscus extract add hydration to the formula for a buttery-smooth application and satin finish. Just be mindful if you have patchy, dry skin as some testers found it did cling to those areas. Long before contouring and highlighting were all over social media, the Yves Saint Laurent Beauté TouchéÉclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen was used to sculpt the face. The OG makeup staple reached cult-favorite status years ago, making it one of the best concealers for contouring and highlighting. Its light-reflecting technology delivers a gorgeous glow that’s sheer and shimmer-free. The liquid concealer is designed to be used all over the face and has plenty of skin-loving ingredients, including hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate, Moroccan calendula extract to protect and soothe, and vitamin E for antioxidants. 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.

Sheer coverage provides subtle coverage, allowing your natural skin tone to show through. Full-coverage, cream-based concealers help you achieve an immaculate, blemish-free-looking complexion while still being lightweight enough to wear under the eyes without creasing or caking. Try Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer for a full-coverage, natural finish with the added bonus of SPF 35 sun protection – perfect for daily wear. It also contains shea and mango butter which gives it a hydrating finish on the skin. Best of all, it’s vegan, cruelty free and dermatologist tested. If you are sensitive to fragrance though, we’d advise doing a patch test before use.

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.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. Crease-resistant, opaque coverage in a creamy yet lightweight texture. The long-wearing formula camouflages darkness under the eyes, redness and skin imperfections. Provides complete, natural-looking coverage, evens skin tone, covers dark circles and minimizes fine lines around the eyes. NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer really describes itself in the title,” says New York City-based makeup artist Elisa Flowers. “It’s a soft, creamy concealer that blurs imperfections, blemishes, and dark circles, yet has a delicate, matte appearance and gives excellent coverage.” This product’s full-coverage capabilities are due to the unique formula that contains what NARS refers to as “Optimal Diffusion Powder,” a lightweight powder that actually transforms the look of skin by blurring imperfections with the help of light-diffusing spheres that are designed to absorb and refract light for a soft-focus finish.

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."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. For highlighting: Apply a shade 1-2 shades lighter than your foundation on the high points of your face such as the center of your forehead, bridge of the nose, tops of the cheekbones, and under your eyes to brighten. Blend out with a makeup sponge, or foundation brush keeping the product in the area you applied it. The proper way to apply concealer depends on the formulation and what you're trying to achieve. Having said that, it should generally be applied after foundation. Using the included applicator, your fingers, or a makeup brush, apply the cream or liquid anywhere you want to conceal or highlight. "If you feel it's a bit dry under the eyes, I would mix it with an eye cream," says Nawabi.

For spot concealing: Apply concealer to any area you want extra coverage. Blend out using a dabbing motion to keep concealer concentrated in that area with a concealer brush or your finger. Now that you know the essentials, shop the best concealers for contouring. 1. Yves Saint Laurent Beauté TouchéÉclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen 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. Want the scoop on our hottest product drops, exclusive offers and can't-miss collaborations straight to your inbox? From the brand known for its no-makeup makeup, Glossier's Stretch Concealer was designed for those averse to dry, creasy, cakey formulas. It contains beeswax, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil which make it easy to layer. The dewy finish adds dimension so you can build on coverage as needed. Our only complaint is that you have to put your finger inside the small tub to remove the product. We’d prefer a more hygienic application tool, or we’d advise using a Q-tip.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. 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.
