New generation concealers not only do an excellent job of covering imperfections around the eyes, but also take care of the skin no worse than creams. We selected the ten most effective products, and also found out from makeup artists the secrets of their application and the rules for choosing a shade.

Maestro Eraser

The creators proudly call the Maestro Eraser concealer in a laconic black tube a “therapeutic concealer.” And they’re not lying: the product contains components that correct imperfections, lightening dark circles, and at the same time care for the skin around the eyes. It was possible to achieve a “double bottom” thanks to the proprietary Moon Light complex. The super comfortable texture deserves a special nod (however, all products of the brand can boast of this).

Lift Concealer

Make Up For Ever

Vitamin A (stimulates cell renewal and increases skin elasticity), vitamin E (restores skin and slows down its aging), mallow extract (soothes and softens), special mica (reflects and scatters light rays) ... This is the recipe for the best-selling Make Up For Ever concealer Lift Concealer. With its help you can easily achieve a natural glow effect. How to use concealer? “To hide bruises with a blue undertone, use peach Lift Concealer #2,” says Anna Merkusheva, makeup artist at Make Up For Ever. – Also feel free to use this concealer to correct nasolabial folds. To do this, arm yourself with a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone, apply it with a thin brush to the deepening area and blend it slightly. This technique for smoothing the skin texture is suitable for correcting any unwanted facial or age lines.”

Fake Up

The concealer with the self-explanatory name Fake Up from the arsenal of the Californian brand Benefit is sung by the most famous beauty bloggers. The secret of success is the unexpected combination of two products in one stick - moisturizing cream with apple seed extract and hyaluronic acid and pigment. As a result, dark circles are gone, your eyes are brighter, and wrinkles are barely noticeable. At the same time, choosing a suitable shade will not be difficult, since there are only two of them. And this facial concealer is unpretentious in use: the brand’s makeup artists advise marking five points with the product, starting with the orbital bone, and carefully blending them with your ring finger.

Anti-Cernes

Yves Saint Laurent

The Anti-Cernes concealing pencil contains not only reflective pigments that eliminate dark circles, but also chamomile and ginkgo biloba extracts, which improve microcirculation. This lightweight, creamy concealer for under-eye circles can be easily blended with both fingers and a brush, ideally concealing shadows and not emphasizing wrinkles around the eyes. Plus, the product can be used locally for redness or to sculpt the face. Leading makeup artist at Yves Saint Laurent in Russia, Maria Pyrenkova, advises: “To highlight and correct the line of your cheekbones, darken the lower part of your face with a concealer a couple of shades darker than your skin.”

Pro Longwear Concealer

Pro Longwear Concealer features a weightless texture, natural matte finish and waterproof formula. It doesn't stain and lasts all day thanks to crushed pigments and a unique film-forming technology. In addition to bruises, this product can easily disguise age spots and other imperfections. “To hide pimples, redness and blemishes, apply the corrector with dotted movements on the foundation, and then be sure to set it with powder (otherwise it will quickly rub off), - Ekaterina Ponomareva, leading makeup artist for MAC in Russia and the CIS, shares her secret. “On the contrary, the corrector should be applied to the area around the eyes before using foundation.”

Undercover Pot

The miniature Undercover Pot jar contains three essential products for successful concealment. Thus, the concealer (right cell) with a light texture does not dry out the skin and is excellent for eyelids. Thick concealer is a little more difficult to work with: apply it with a brush to redness and inflammation. Fix the result with transparent loose powder, which fixes the concealer and corrector firmly and at the same time makes the skin velvety.

Natural Finish Cream Concealer

A tube of Natural Finish Cream Concealer will be useful for those who have to deal with serious dark circles - the concealing ability of this concealer is excellent! I am glad that, despite the dense coating, it does not spread and does not form streaks. But keep in mind, even the worst bags under the eyes need a drop of concealer, otherwise it will be noticeable on the skin. We recommend mixing it with eye cream or gel for a more natural effect.

BB Eye Touche Parfaite

Like all products from the young Erborian brand, the BB eye cream is invisible on the skin, it is easy to apply, does not crease during the day and does not settle into wrinkles. Plus, this product with an extract of the Asian plant purslane perfectly takes care of the eyelids, eliminating swelling and protecting them from sun rays. True, he is unable to hide serious bruises. But it will become an excellent leveling, highlighting base for a proven corrector.

Touche-Expert Advanced

A corrector and highlighter in one bottle, in addition to pigments and reflective particles, contains hyaluronic acid and lifting components. Many people fell in love with Touche-Expert Advanced for its pleasant texture, excellent concealing abilities, as well as its convenient format - you can carry a tube with a brush in your bag and quickly refresh your look before an important meeting. “Do not overdo it with the amount of product, otherwise the makeup will look unnatural. Pay special attention to the inner corners of the eyes, because this is where shadows appear that make your eyes look tired,” suggests the creator of the product, famous makeup artist Terry de Ginsburg. And the makeup artist of the Moscow club “Forum” Alexandra Zakharova advises choosing a concealer 2 shades lighter than the skin to correct the oval of the face: “Blend the light shade of Touch-Expert Advanced on the T-zone (forehead - bridge of the nose - nose - fold above the lip - chin). Apply foundation to the remaining areas. The result is a perfectly corrected oval, velvety, slightly illuminated skin and an even, radiant complexion!”

Creamy Concealer Kit

Makeup wizard Bobbi Brown is convinced that concealer is an indispensable product in every girl’s makeup bag, because with it you can quickly refresh your look. She definitely made sure that the Creamy Concealer set, Bobbi Brown, performed 100% concealing functions. And as a bonus, I added softening and protective components like vitamins and silicon to the formula. And, of course, Bobby has tips on how to apply concealer: “If the concealer gives an ashy, gray tint, then it is too light. As a rule, the color should not be lighter than the skin of the brow bone. If the concealer looks yellow, then it is too dark. Having chosen the right tone, carefully apply it to the area under the eyes as close to the eyelash contour as possible with the Concealer Blending brush, Bobbi Brown. Pay special attention to the inner corner of the eyelid. Apply a little translucent powder to set the result.”

Concealer is a cosmetic product that will help smooth out some defects that are unpleasant for a woman, but not every model is able to cope with all problems. This is why it is necessary to know how to choose the right type of concealer. They, in turn, differ in shade, composition, texture, density and other less important parameters.

The requirements of the buyers themselves are also different. Some people just need to hide pimples or some blemishes, while others use concealer to completely smooth out the skin, give it a radiant tint, and completely hide circles and dark circles under the eyes. In such cases, professional models come to the rescue, having a higher texture density, different shades and, naturally, a higher price. They are also divided into creamy and pasty. Their difference lies in the use of the product. Creamy cosmetic products are designed to hide under-eye circles, fine lines and wrinkles, and red spots. Paste-like ones are denser and resemble concealers. Let's consider which concealers are the most popular on the Russian market and do not disappoint customers.

Which brand of concealer should I choose?

Concealer is essentially a kind of corrector that allows you to remove and disguise almost any skin imperfection. Thanks to concealer, you can hide pimples, age spots, signs of fatigue, redness and bruises under the eyes after a sleepless night. When choosing, you must be guided by various parameters, so you need to carefully study each model in order to make the right choice, since on average this product lasts for a year of use.

Below is a list of manufacturers, which is formed in descending order of interest in the brand:

6. Vivienne Sabo

Of course, there are good concealers from other companies (Lancom, Dior, Chanel, L’Oreal, Oriflame), but they were not included in our rating, since some are not suitable for the price, others do not hide facial skin defects well enough.

The best paste concealers

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

Studio Finish Concealer from MAC is a very popular professional model that copes with the most visible imperfections. It is intended not only to hide circles under the eyes, but also for the rest of the face. The pasta box itself is quite small, so it will be very convenient to carry with you in your bag. Studio Finish perfectly masks almost any rash, pimples, age spots, capillaries and much more. Unlike competitors, thanks to its density, it does not just slightly mask imperfections by changing the shade, but completely hides almost any problem. The consumption of the product is very economical, it will last on average more than a year. It does not settle into wrinkles and folds, but can emphasize flaking. Great for people with normal to oily skin as it is a little dry.

2. professional disguise;
3. large selection of shades;
4. soft texture;
5. compactness.

Flaws:

Catrice Allround Concealer

This product belongs to the professional line, but has a fairly low price. When purchasing, you immediately receive 5 different shades: green, pink and three beige. It is designed not only for the eye area, but also to hide redness, pimples and much more. Despite the fact that this is a paste-like product, the texture is not very dense, making it very easy to blend onto the skin. However, the problem is that using your fingers in this case is not very convenient, and the provided brush or applicator is not included in the kit. Another problem can be considered that the paste begins to float in hot weather or approximately 6 hours after application.

Advantages:

1. a large number of shades;
2. pleasant to the touch texture;
3. low price;
4. large area of ​​application.

Flaws:

The Best Creamy Concealers

Shise >

This is a fairly popular concealer from a Japanese company that also produces other cosmetics. It is creamy and comes in a convenient black tube. Thanks to production technology, a small “drop” of this product is enough to mask skin imperfections. This corrector effortlessly hides bruises, capillaries, circles under the eyes and other blemishes. Due to their density, they are easily distributed over the skin and last for quite a long time. Another benefit is that this concealer does not clog pores. This model has no obvious disadvantages, but it is suitable for relatively oily facial skin, since after using it the skin dries slightly and peeling may occur.

Advantages:

1. convenient to apply;
2. camouflages well;
3. good price;
4. long shelf life;
5. reliable packaging;
6. does not create streaks.

Flaws:

Clarins Instant Concealer

The French company Clarins also has its own skin correcting creams. The most popular among them is the Instant Concealer SPF15 model. It is stored in a beautiful red package, on which you can find complete information about the product. Inside there is a tube of cream itself. It has a liquid consistency, so very little substance is enough to use. It perfectly hides dark circles under the eyes, redness, small spots and much more. Among the disadvantages, it can be noted that it does not lie very tightly on the skin and therefore the disguise is not the most complete, but the moisture of the cream compensates for this, thanks to which the look becomes fresher.

Advantages:

1. lies flat;
2. large volume;
3. makes the look fresher;
4. lasts a long time;
5. does not get caught in wrinkles and folds.

Flaws:

1. does not fit very tightly;
2. may turn yellow (depending on shade and skin).

Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer

This is a very popular inexpensive cream from a famous manufacturer. The packaging is compact and quite convenient. The product itself has the shape of a curled pencil. Despite its price, the Mastertouch Concealer is not as budget-friendly as other models. Buyers complain that it runs out a maximum of six months after purchase. The creamy structure is very delicate, it is easy to apply and disperses well throughout the skin, so there are no problems with shades shifting on the face. The masking ability is quite high; it can hide not only small pimples, but also abrasions, age spots, redness and freckles. After drying, the area of ​​application becomes a little darker, but this makes up for the ability to easily spread it over the entire face. Due to the fact that there are no moisturizing components, after using concealer, the skin begins to dry out and flake. For this reason, Mastertouch is not recommended for those with dry skin.

Advantages:

1. easy to use;
2. lasts a long time;
3. convenient to carry;
4. hides problems on the face well.

Flaws:

1. ends quickly;
2. dries out the skin.

Essence Stay Natural Concealer

Essence Stay Natural is the most budget model in the rating. Its shape resembles a pencil, and due to its size it will not take up much space in your purse. It is most suitable for young skin without any obvious flaws. The texture is not the thickest, but it is quickly and easily applied and distributed over the skin, and thanks to its durability, it lasts about 12 hours. There are 4 shades available, so choosing the right one will not be difficult. The downside of this model is its slightly drying effect, which will have a detrimental effect on more mature skin.

Advantages:

1. very low cost;
2. has no odors;
3. good durability;
4. compactness.

Flaws:

1. the brush is inconvenient to use;
2. dries out the skin;
3. Only suitable for minor problems.

Vivienne Sabo Radiant

This cream is not the most popular concealer among buyers, however, it has a number of advantages, among which we must highlight its applicability to mature skin. It was created by the company specifically to hide dark circles under the eyes. The packaging includes a tube of cream and a convenient applicator. With everyday use, it usually lasts for a year, which indicates that the tube is economical. There are three shades to suit different skin types. It has virtually no aroma, which is a big plus considering the scope of application. Texture density is medium. There is a moisturizing effect that makes it possible to use on mature skin without any harmful effects.

Advantages:

1. low price;
2. convenient to use;
3. small tube;
4. efficiency.

Flaws:

1. only three very similar shades;

Which concealer to buy

When choosing a concealer, you need to pay attention to several important parameters. Thus, economical creamy models that do not weigh down makeup are suitable for everyday use. Be sure to check the expiration date after opening, as it is often six months, which is short for this type of product. Of course, to avoid such problems, you can buy concealers with a small amount of product, but generally such versions are more expensive as a percentage of the price and amount of cosmetics.

Also pay attention to the presence of moisturizing and skin-improving ingredients. If they are not there, this can lead to painful sensations some time after using the concealer. Another advantage of the presence of moisturizing components is the refreshing effect. In cases where you need a product to disguise quite serious problems, we recommend professional concealers with a high application density.

If you still haven’t made your choice, listen to our recommendations:

1. For problem skin, we recommend MAC Studio Finish Concealer, which has a number of advantages. Due to its texture, it fits very well on the skin and hides large spots, capillaries, pimples and other unpleasant marks on the face. This is not the cheapest product and is not suitable for everyday use.

2. The cheapest concealer is Essence Stay Natural Concealer, among the advantages of which we can note, of course, a fairly low price, pleasant texture, small size and good durability. The cream does not float, it stays on the face until makeup is removed.

3. The best option for everyday use, in the absence of serious problems with the skin of the face, would be Shiseido Natural Finish Cream Concealer. It is convenient to store and use. It does not have any obvious drawbacks, the only effect is drying, and subsequently peeling of the skin, but this only appears on dry skin. This cream is very durable and high quality. Shelf life after opening is 2 years.

4. Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer is recognized as the most popular and convenient for storage and use. It is very compact, and the shape itself resembles a curled pencil with a pad for application, which allows you to avoid getting your fingers dirty.

5. For mature skin, Vivienne Sabo Radiant is recommended, which contains moisturizing components. The cost of Sabo Radiant is quite low, and one tube will last for a year.
