Especially for its readers, “Red Lipstick” publishes a series of reviews with ratings of beauty products. Today we are going to determine the best concealers under the eyes.
Concealer for the skin around the eyes: which one is better?
Before we begin presenting the rating of eye concealers, I think it would be useful to once again tell you which options for under-eye concealers are the best.

- According to the majority of makeup artists and users, which is confirmed by their reviews, the best concealer under the eyes is the option presented in a liquid consistency. It easily and imperceptibly applies to the thin and delicate skin of the eyelids, and at the same time disguises dark circles under the eyes. This variation is also supported by the fact that the liquid consistency does not emphasize facial wrinkles and age-related wrinkles. And even if such a concealer rolls into folds, it will not appear as clearly as in other variations.
- Another popular option is concealers with a creamy consistency. According to most users, this variation of concealers is the best for dark circles under the eyes. The creamy texture gives a denser coverage and can be used even without foundation. The main thing is to find your shade.
Important
The concealer that is applied to the eye area should always be half a tone lighter than the complexion. It is in this case that you can achieve the effect of a rested look. Dark shades or shades chosen to match the face make the look look older and heavier.
- Dry consistency concealers should be used with caution. In general, they are not recommended to be applied under the eyes, because the powdery consistency emphasizes dry skin and a fine network of wrinkles. However, they can be used to make up the inner corner of the eyelids, instead of highlighter. Well, young ladies can easily afford dry variations, because they are considered the best concealers for the eyes in the hot season.
But such forms of concealers as a stick and a pencil for the eye area are not only unsuitable, they will simply be inconvenient to use.
When choosing corrective products for the face, many women face a dilemma - choose a product that belongs to the “Luxury” category or limit themselves to a budget analogue. What is the best concealer under the eyes? On the one hand, concealer is a product related to decorative cosmetics, and the most important thing about it is its camouflage properties, and budget options today do a good job of this task. On the other hand, this beauty product comes into direct contact with the skin of the eyes, which requires a delicate approach, while luxury products are more likely to find caring options. Answering this question, “Red Lipstick” recommends that you first of all take into account the characteristics of your skin. After all, even luxury cosmetics cannot always meet the individual needs of each woman.
The best concealers and correctors
Products in a compressed, creamy, oil-based format have the highest degree of camouflage, so they can cover even moles and tattoos.
Typically, such products are used by professionals, but many girls also use them to correct acne.
However, we do not recommend using correctors for those with problem skin on a regular basis, as they clog pores and only increase the number of imperfections.

For objectivity, we divided the rating of under-eye concealers into categories. Agree, it is rude to compare luxury cosmetics with products from the mass market segment, age category with general products, etc.
So, let's begin.
Best budget under eye concealer
We include concealers in this category, which you can easily find on the shelves of any cosmetics and household chemicals stores. They are affordable, but this does not mean their low quality, especially since we present the best under-eye concealer, reviews of which have no complaints.

- Concealer "Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Conceale" from MAYBELLINE. This is the answer to the question - which concealer for dark circles under the eyes is the best in the mass market category. According to consumer reviews, it has a light consistency, something between a cream and an emulsion. Accordingly, it completely hides dark marks under the eyes without the use of additional beauty products, and does not dry out the skin. It has a convenient shape, is quickly and easily applied, and due to skillful adjustment to the skin tone, does not require intensive shading. Hides signs of fatigue and refreshes the look. It has only one drawback, which is forgivable - it runs out quickly, but given its affordable price, this is not scary.

Rating of the best under-eye concealers in the medium brand categoryN
The medium market brings together cosmetic products of the mid-price category, which occupies an intermediate niche between the mass segment and the luxury sector. This group, as a rule, has strong advertising support and is quite often used by professional makeup artists. It combines so-called pharmaceutical cosmetics and “pseudo-elite” products, as well as some professional options.
- Concealer "Perfect Teint Concealer" from ARTDECO. According to reviews, this is the best concealer for dark circles under the eyes. It has a light, almost weightless texture, does not slide into the folds of the skin for a long time and does not focus attention on wrinkles.

Important
Whatever moisturizing properties of concealers the manufacturer promises you, always apply them on top of a moisturizer or makeup base. Otherwise, the concealer will dry out the delicate area of your face. The so-called “moisturizing” properties of concealers lie in their ability to retain moisture in the skin and not focus on the natural folds around the eyes.
What can it be used for?
A classic concealer is suitable for masking imperfections that are not very noticeable: freckles, bags under the eyes, small veins. The corrector is designed to change the color of age spots and subcutaneous hematomas (bruises). There are no particular difficulties in using the first tool.
And for the second, it is recommended to know the purpose of each of the colors in its palette:
- Yellow. Used if the lower eyelid has turned purple. It will give her a fresh and rested look. Suitable for people with fair skin.
- Green. It contains anti-inflammatory and disinfecting components, so it is better to apply it to redness, acne and places where blood vessels are visible.
- Orange. Suitable for hiding blue-green bruises. Recommended for use on dark skin.
- Pink. Gives the skin a healthy look, visually eliminating the difference between the basic tone of the face and dark spots under the eyes. Thanks to this action, this color is well suited for people over 50.
- Blue. Allows you to lighten the skin of the lower eyelid, as well as freckles and spots after sunburn.
- Beige. Hides visible irregularities - age and facial wrinkles.
- Brown and its shades. Allows you to visually change the shape of your face.
- Violet. Gives the skin yellow tints - a fresh and rested look. Able to hide freckles and acne.
