Smashbox Studio Skin 24 Hour Waterproof Concealer
“I am normally scared of concealers–their texture and the danger of looking crazy if I overdo it or do it wrong in my under eye area makes me always hesitate. But I have to say, this concealer was GREAT! It went on smooth and since I got a great match, disappeared and covered my ojeras effectively, without looking overdone. It also lasted without creasing. So def a thumbs up!” – Yuliana Gomez, Managing Editor, Smashbox Studio Skin 24 Hour Waterproof Concealer ($25)

True story.” – Johanna Ferreira, Staff Writer, Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer ($28)

“This is my absolute favorite concealer. It leaves your under eye area looking perfect. You get full coverage without it creasing or appearing cakey.” –Sugey Palomares, Staff Writer, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ($29)
Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer
“There’s a reason why every makeup artist swears by this creamy concealer, and that’s because it covers like you wouldn’t believe. I’m talking everything from dark circles, dark spots–even pimples. It’s SO worth the price!” –Johanna Ferreira, Staff Writer, Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer ($70)
Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
"This is definitely the best concealer I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t settle in my fine lines, it’s easy to blend, and a little bit goes a long way.

Circa Beauty Magic Hour Illuminating Concealer

Bobbi Brown Retouching Wand
"I’m a huge fan of this foundation-concealer duo. The light-weight formula comes out of the sponge tip applicator when you twist the end.

It's my secret weapon for covering small blemishes and sun spots!” –Johanna Torres, Editor-In-Chief, Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil ($20)
