17 Concealers That Will Make Your Dark Circles Disappear
December 15, 2022
Under-eye concealer is like the shapewear of makeup. At its best, it’s undetectable and gives skin a seamless, flawless finish. At its worst, it’s cakey and it looks really obvious. The difference between a good and bad concealer ultimately comes down to finding the right type for you; finding the perfect texture and shade and applying it correctly will determine just how good your concealer looks — and how well it covers your dark circles.
From creams to pens, light-reflecting to full-coverage, there are a dizzying amount of formulas to choose from. Below, we rounded up the best concealers for dark circles at a variety of price points. Keep reading to find our favorites from brands like Maybelline New York, Urban Decay and more.
