What is a concealer?

If you’re new to make-up, you might be asking yourself, “What exactly is a concealer?” The word concealer comes from the English verb “to conceal,” which means “to hide” or “to cover.” Concealer is a type of make-up used to cover a tired complexion, dark circles, fine lines, redness, or skin imperfections. It has a higher coverage than a foundation.

Best Concealer: Test Results

To find out which concealer performs best, we tested them for you. We analyzed coverage, durability, skin feel, evenness, and how well they prevent settling into fine lines, and selected our top concealer winners based on individual skin needs:

Best concealer for dark circles

The Alcina Cover Coat Concealer effectively conceals dark circles and provides a bright, fresh look with larger, more awake eyes.

Best concealer for wrinkles

With the Alcina Authentic Concealer, fine lines and small wrinkles are instantly and reliably covered for a long-lasting smooth appearance.

Best concealer for dry skin

The Stagecolor Perfect Teint Fluid Concealer is particularly moisturizing, making it perfect for dry and mature skin. Its fine, liquid texture blends easily into the skin, concealing under-eye shadows and giving the complexion a radiant, fresher look.

Finding the right concealer shade

Once you’ve chosen a good concealer, the next step is to find the right color variant. But what shade should your concealer be? Which concealer suits you best? Here are some key points to keep in mind:

If your dark circles are bluish, meaning the veins are clearly visible, you should choose an orange-toned concealer to neutralize the cool tones.
If your dark circles are violet or brown, opt for a yellow, beige, or ivory-toned concealer.

In general: your concealer should be slightly lighter than your natural skin tone, since a darker concealer emphasizes wrinkles and imperfections instead of concealing them.

Applying concealer for beginners

Many people don’t know how to apply concealer correctly. It should be dabbed onto pimples, redness, and under the eyes using an applicator, blender, or concealer brush. The product should be applied generously above the cheekbone in an inverted triangle shape. Don’t forget the inner corners of the eyes — applying concealer there helps create a particularly bright and awake look.

And one more important question: concealer first or foundation? The correct order is to apply concealer before foundation.
