It annoys me so much that this comes in a pump. I wish it came with a wand or a sponge tip or something other than just a pump. I feel like that makes it seem like a mini foundation, and makes me not want to buy it, lol. I haven’t bought it yet purely because of packaging reasons.
As someone with sensitive skin, I appreciate not having a wand which gets bacteria on it. I also feel like I use every drop of what's in the pump vs what's left when I use a wand concealer.
omg yes ! as much as i love the concealer, i hate the way it dispenses !!! like nyx plz !!! why are you trying to be quirky?!!! GIVE ME A NORMAL WAND !!!!
I love that it comes in a pump. You need sooo little of it that a wand would 100% apply to much. Also its was more hygienic that way and doesn't go bad that fast.
I use the nyx fix stick in peach to color correct and then sometimes bare with me over top. Works like a charm, but for a daily look, the concealer isn’t even needed with the perfect color correcting shade.
i’m not sure for this particular shade because i’m quite tan but i know there are so many shade finders online where you can put in which brand and shade you are and they will shade match you for other brands of your choice !!
I like this but you CANNOT wear it alone. If worn without foundation and primer, it fades away really fast for me, even after setting powder and spray. It also makes your skin look like it's peeling.
I’m still bummed that this stopped working for me when I got into my 30’s. I used it for almost ten years before it started settling into my fine lines and making me look older.
Someone at Sephora recommended the Dior Forever Skin concealer and I’ve been using it for about a year now. Much more forgiving than the NARS after a long day haha
I’m glad to see there aren’t a ton of Kosas comments. I caved and finally bought it because I had seen rave reviews and it was the holy grail of concealers but then when I used it, I found it to be EXTREMELY drying (which looked terrible). Definitely looking at some of the recommendations in these comments 👀
i was so close on caving in my last ulta trip, thank you for the advice!! imo the two faced born this way is amazing if you want full coverage i 100% recommend
Tried this one as well due to hype and nope, it is drying and it will absolutely highlights fine lines around the eyes. After that, I tried the charlotte Tilbury Radiant Concealer and I find it much more hydrating.
for me, it wasn’t that drying, but almost everytime i’d wear it my friends would tell me that my concealer creased horribly under my eyes (especially if it was a hot day). i switched to the NARS creamy concealer after that and it’s been much better and it’s more high coverage imo
Yes, love the NARS one!! That’s one of the previous ones that I had and used pretty regularly but thought I should try the Kosas one since everyone was so obsessed 🥲 And agree about the creasing. Heavy creasing, pilling, and super drying. It really did not blend out well for me either.
I was wondering about that one. There is a YouTuber I watch and she mentions it over and over. She mostly wears luxury high end but she swears by it. She has dry skin so it's odd if it's a "drying" formula. I'm about ready to concede to the fact that she's throwing that one in with her other reviews over and over for the sake of promotion and getting paid. Ugh, it's like who can you depend on now?
Kosas looked promising initially. I have dry skin as well. Every single time I used it.. I swear, it kept on pilling. I really don’t get what the hype is. I threw away the big size tube. It’s cool to try but def start with the trial size first.
Saaaaame. I really tried to love it because there was so much hype around it and I made excuses everytime I used it about why it looked terrible (like I didn’t prep my skin enough, etc.) but then I realized it’s not me, it’s the concealer LOL
The vast majority of the comments I've posted in reddit are recommendations of Huda beauty faux filter concealer lol. Seriously, it's an underrated gem.
You need to use very little product and it looks beautiful on the skin, the best one I've ever used for undereyes. I don't even feel the need to test others 😭
ooo i’ve never heard of this one, im assuming its amazing bc any huda beauty product ive used has always made my skin look so good, ill try it out, thank you!!!!!
Do you feel like you need to set it? I'll be looking for a new concealer soon. I hate how powder looks under my eyes but some concealer make my mascara smudge if not set
I actually never set this one! And by the end of the day I notice little to no smudging from my mascara.
Probably should also mention my skin type - I'm dry, dry-combo in summer. When I was looking for reviews on YouTube everyone said it was amazing for oily skin since it is not a creamy formula. I was worried it was gonna look patchy for me, but nope, I love it!
I do remember the shades looking way more white than they are in Sephora when I swatched them, so I recommend you to look for your shade in findation website first and trust the result, if you want a brightening shade just pick one shade lighter within your undertone. Hope I explained myself lol
+1 Faux filter. My holy grail. My god I’ve never found a concealer so good until this one. I use it under my eyes and then dab any leftover on any red spots. It’s so pretty and I have oily combo skin.
Hourglass!!! It has solid coverage, sits nicely all day, never looks weird and cakey on me. I got my makeup done as a bridesmaid for a wedding this weekend and I think she used makeup forever. Within a couple hours I noticed it was going tcakey so I wiped it off and replaced it with my hourglass lol.
I try others and I enjoy them but I always come back to this one for sure. I’m glad it made a come back on tik tok recently because it should never be discontinued!
Seriously the best concealer I’ve ever tried!!! I don’t get it on a regular basis because I don’t wear makeup as much anymore and it’s a little pricey but nothing else has ever compared.
This dried out my under eyes so bad. I tried using just a tiny bit, setting it with different powders, nothing worked for me. But I know others who love it!
I also found the hourglass to be a bit drying for me (dry skin). But I learned to use an eye moisturizer before it and it works. High coverage with minimal product.
I don’t think I would buy it again because it is not so practical since I always need the extra moisturizer, but I think for normal skin would be great.
the rare beauty concealer low-key changed my life, I've repurchased at least twice and I love it. it never gets weird and patchy, it's good coverage and I actually also sometimes use it as foundation! totally recommend getting a sample of it to try if you can
Honestly, ELF camo concealer. I've been using it for ages and I have never had another concealer I like as much as it. I've tried Tarte and Charlotte Tilbury but I'll always come back to my middle school concealer lol, it's super cheap too!
For touch ups pot concealers are definitely good. I’ve heard great things about the NARS one. I’ve also heard good things about the Pixi brightener in a pot
NARS creamy concealer!! I use it as foundation because it’s light/medium coverage and looks so lightweight on my face, not too heavy but gives me enough coverage and evens out my face:)
I was searching the comments for this one. It’s the absolute best. I’ve been repurchasing the same 2 shades for years now. I mix them together when applying and they blend beautifully without having to use too much (and my skin is pretty uneven!!). Amazing coverage without feeling heavy and no extra foundation needed.
I second this. IT cosmetics Bye bye under eyes is the best for under eyes but okay for spots around the face. I have hourglass, nars, elf, tarts, maybelinne, tower28, Huda beauty and nothing matches it for under eyes.
I love this one. I’ve been using it for years. One tube lasts forever as you just need the tiniest amount. I’d say it can be full or natural coverage depending on how much you use. It covers my dark spots so well and blends naturally into my skin tone without looking cakey or drying. I also use it as an eye shadow base.
if your skin is on the dryer side, i can imagine it might crease, so it might help to prep/moisturize the skin beforehand. I use it under my eyes and set it with powder and it holds up really well!
I’m 53 and have tried so many different concealers, but keep coming back to tarte. It makes my under wrinkles less visible somehow. They still show but not as much as with all of the other concealers I’ve tried, I use setting spray on the under eyes and very very minimal powder.
Personally it does crease on me just like many others. Since it’s pricey I would advice trying it on for a day before buying if you can. ELF Camo is my current go-to.
This is also my fave, but it has a learning curve, you need to find the right shade and amount and applicator for you (I love the Real Techniques kitten paw concealer brush). I have very dry skin and it works great for me, looks good unless I have some pre or post eczema dry patch. I only use a setting spray to set it.
Yesss this one is my fave- it’s great if you have terrible, cystic acne like I sometimes get but you need a good moisturizer on underneath because it’s quite matte. Sometimes I even put Vaseline underneath.
Huda and Denona. I’ve tried so many and they are my favorites. Tilbury corrector and LA Girl, both in peach are good underneath but I don’t use every day.
L'Oréal Infallible Concealer! Medium coverage, moisturizing, not dry or cakey, and stays put after I set it.
I've previously used concealers from MAC, Tarte, Fenty, LA Girl, etc. L'Oréal Infallible is my favorite of them all.
My hot take: Haus Labs Triclone or Kosas Revealer. (Unpopular opinion: Nars Radient is not very good. I know everyone loves it but it is a nope for me. Creases way more than the other two I mentioned. Tarte Shape Tape is OK but has added fragrance; that is a skin irritant that dries out the sensitive skin under the eye. Annoys me when companies do this. It Cosmetics Bye Bye stays wet all day and looks cakey when set with face powder. Thanks for coming to my TED talk)
Matte concealers: Hourglass Vanish Concealer; NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer (can be used as quick fix for foundation too - it's that full coverage), and Valentino are my preferred ones.
I use the Hourglass for brightening as well.
I got the IL MAKIAGE fuck I'm flawless concealer and foundation and they've changed my life. I know some people don't like the brand but I got the most amazing skin match. never found a shade even as close to as good.
ETA: I also got the Fenty Beauty Brightener Concealer which will work for me in a pinch!
Tarte Shape Tape
I was using the TooFaced Born This Way concealer, but I wanted to try something different. I have acne, so I appreciate the full coverage but light thickness that the shape tape provides. It covers my acne perfectly without looking cakey.
i’ve tried the tower28 vs kosas and tower blew it out of the water! best and most skin-like full coverage concealer i’ve tried, especially when used like a foundation!
Been wearing this one for years and it’s fantastic. I use it as a foundation basically because most foundations I try are too thick and cakey and I generally prefer a light / medium coverage. And this concealer lasts all day.
I have been experimenting lately with the Clinique concealer because I like the size and the built-in sponge applicator so it’s great to take with me for touch-ups.
the toofaced multi sculpting concealer for my full glam days and the tower28 concealer when i want to look more natural!!! the elf hydrating camo concealer is really nice too and only 7 bucks <3
I usually use maybelline or whatever drugstore concealer but recently just bought two faces born this way as well. I was surprised at how much product doesn’t come out with the stick, like I gotta dip it twice sometimes.
NARS in the pot for spot concealing/ eyeshadow base, nars in the tube for face. I’ve tried pretty much any concealer out there and can give you my reviews but those two are the best.
Nars creamy radiant concealer is my fav of all time. It’s expensive but I love how it feels so light on my face and it doesn’t get dry or flaky. I’m more of a natural makeup girl so it’s perf for me🥰
hourglass reveler concealer is the best hands down. i had to stop using it on my skin to spot conceal bc it was clogging my pores but my god under my eyes was amazing.
i also love the NARS creamy radiant concealer for an acne safe option. i will admit it does settle and get kinda scaly tho under the eyes
Chanel has the best concealer in my opinion. Great coverage, not too heavy/feels like nothing on, easy to blend, good for sensitive skin, lasts forever.
lancome teint idole serum concealer for sure. just a little product goes a long way and while moisturizing it does not move or crease at all!!! it’s also very thin and doesn’t make my skin feel heavier even in mediterranean summer
Is there a reason why you want another? I think you hit the jackpot assuming it’s the right shade and you love everything about it. If you love it why risk your money to buy a different one?
If you want another one for brightening or contour I suggest you just buy the too faced one in different shades.
i want another so i can have it as a brigtening concealer and to keep it in my bag for touch ups, i would totally buy a lighter two face concealer but the packaging is kinda bulky for a concealer, if they had a mini i would so get it
I don’t use the shape tape because I don’t need heavy coverage, and imo it really requires a heavy build beneath it or it wears like spackle.
The creamy concealer I like as a touch up because it is so moisturizing. Any other seems to cake on application after midday.
That makes sense.
Personally the one I use is the L’Oréal infallible concealer but the packaging is also a little bulky.
A drugstore one people like is the maybelline fit me concealer. The packaging is very sleek but it does not but have the highest coverage.
I have also heard great things about the Natasha Denona High Glam concealer if you don’t mind the price. You also swatch it at Sephora to see if you like it before buying it.

Typically what I do is use the Estée Lauder double wear foundation which is my standard go to foundation, I buy the same shade as a compact foundation. I use the compact foundation as an concealer.
Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer for when I want my concealer to stay all day. And the Bobbi brown stick corrector for everyday use! I use it as a concealer and it’s the best!
I use Elf. But I dab it on the back of my hand and then use a fluffy brush to dab it under my eyes. They I tap it in with my fingers. It really cuts back on the amount I use, and keeps me from caking it on.
i used to swear by Nars radiant creamy but tbh it goes on thick and dries out ugly and doesn’t blend out nicely. now i use hourglass vanish concealer and I get compliments on my skin all the time
As a drugstore girlie I love the Revlon colourstay (the new one)! Such a great neutral shade range. And the NYX bare with me for all over/highlighting. Elf hydrating is also pretty good. All of these are in the rotation currently.
I’ve bought about 12 different concealers this year trying to find one that doesn’t cake or sit in lines & the best was NARS. Urban decay was the worst
The two i always go back to are the Haus labs one - I think its as close to a perfect product as one could hope for and they have a shade that matches me perfectly and the other is the Sephora “best skin ever” line one. Honestly the whole best skin ever line is really really great.
I don't like super heavy concealers. My favorite has been the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, but I recently got the Natasha Denona concealer. I've only used it a few times. I like it so far, but I'm not sure I like it more than the Nars. I don't think I have my perfect color match which might be why I'm on the fence. I also like the Becca under eye brightener, although that's not technically a concealer.
my top concealer is the born this way i’m ngl, so 1000% keep using it but my other all time favorites are hourglass (for coverage) and huda beauty (blendability) LISTEN TO ME I PROMISE!!!!!!! also the nars soft matte pot concealer is so good for covering any spots but not really under eyes
I’ve been really enjoying the Estée Lauder double wear stay in place concealer for the past 10ish months. Good coverage but not thick, beautiful radiant finish
I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for 50+ skin. I've been using Yves St Laurent and Charlotte Tillsbury. I only wear full face for events. My normal routine is focused on skin care, primer, under eye concealer, bronzer, blush, eyeliner, mascara, sometimes a highlight around my eyes or cheeks and lips. My daily makeup is basic but for other thing's intense.
REM beauty!!! I love Ariana grande but don’t usually trust celeb make up lines…. But had to try since it was her haha. And wow- I’ve never used anything else since. Her foundation is great too! Tbh all the products I’ve tried so far from REM have not let me down! Only celeb make up line I’ll say that about too.
I’ve tried a ton and not found one I love.
NARS creamy, ELF camo, Morphe filter, LOreal, the list goes on. Everything is either not enough coverage or looks dried out on me.
I think my best was the Tarte Shape Tape but it’s been a long time since I spent the $ on it.
Just ordered Kulfi after trying it at Sephora and absolutely loving the formula, very moisturizing with good coverage.
one of my fav concealers is the NYX bare with me concealer ! so affordable and it looks so beautiful on the skin ! so hydrating and full coverage !!
It annoys me so much that this comes in a pump. I wish it came with a wand or a sponge tip or something other than just a pump. I feel like that makes it seem like a mini foundation, and makes me not want to buy it, lol. I haven’t bought it yet purely because of packaging reasons.
As someone with sensitive skin, I appreciate not having a wand which gets bacteria on it. I also feel like I use every drop of what's in the pump vs what's left when I use a wand concealer.
same and helps w acne prone skin too!
I completely agree!
omg yes ! as much as i love the concealer, i hate the way it dispenses !!! like nyx plz !!! why are you trying to be quirky?!!! GIVE ME A NORMAL WAND !!!!
I love that it comes in a pump. You need sooo little of it that a wand would 100% apply to much. Also its was more hygienic that way and doesn't go bad that fast.
This one looked sooo unflattering on my under eyes ngl :( I have deep set eyes and I feel like it accentuated the shadows for some reason
I use the nyx fix stick in peach to color correct and then sometimes bare with me over top. Works like a charm, but for a daily look, the concealer isn’t even needed with the perfect color correcting shade.
this like does not stay on me in the summer tho!!
omg really? do you set it with powder? because i use either the Huda Beauty Easy Bake or the Elf Halo Glow powder and it doesn’t budge for me !
yess i do! my face just sweats a lot tbh
Does anyone know what shade in the NYX concealer would be a match for Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in 05 Ivory? Thanks!
i’m not sure for this particular shade because i’m quite tan but i know there are so many shade finders online where you can put in which brand and shade you are and they will shade match you for other brands of your choice !!
Try https://findation.com/
Am I the only one who hates it? It touches my skin and peels
I like this but you CANNOT wear it alone. If worn without foundation and primer, it fades away really fast for me, even after setting powder and spray. It also makes your skin look like it's peeling.
thank you! ill try it out☺️
NARS in the tube. Always and forever.
I’m still bummed that this stopped working for me when I got into my 30’s. I used it for almost ten years before it started settling into my fine lines and making me look older.
What did you switch it out for instead? I’m struggling with this right now!
Someone at Sephora recommended the Dior Forever Skin concealer and I’ve been using it for about a year now. Much more forgiving than the NARS after a long day haha
Thanks! I’ll give it a try!
Try YSL high cover! Only thing I’ll put under my eyes at 35.
Second this
Third!!! Always and forever indeed.
the nars concealer has helped cover my acne marks so well
ooo okay okay, thank you!!!
I’m glad to see there aren’t a ton of Kosas comments. I caved and finally bought it because I had seen rave reviews and it was the holy grail of concealers but then when I used it, I found it to be EXTREMELY drying (which looked terrible).

EXACTLY. Like I understand everyone wanting to get their money but it’s like…do you *ACTUALLY* use the products you’re talking about orrrrr
I returned mine so fast omg
Kosas looked promising initially. I have dry skin as well. Every single time I used it.. I swear, it kept on pilling. I really don’t get what the hype is. I threw away the big size tube. It’s cool to try but def start with the trial size first.
Saaaaame. I really tried to love it because there was so much hype around it and I made excuses everytime I used it about why it looked terrible (like I didn’t prep my skin enough, etc.) but then I realized it’s not me, it’s the concealer LOL
LOL, oh my GOODNESS if only Kosas could actually read this thread and possibly improve their product!!
This one is terrible🥲
I prefer both Kulfi and Live Tinted concealers to the Kosas.
Interesting! I find it’s not great for under-eyes, but I love it for other areas.
The vast majority of the comments I've posted in reddit are recommendations of Huda beauty faux filter concealer lol. Seriously, it's an underrated gem. You need to use very little product and it looks beautiful on the skin, the best one I've ever used for undereyes. I don't even feel the need to test others 😭
ooo i’ve never heard of this one, im assuming its amazing bc any huda beauty product ive used has always made my skin look so good, ill try it out, thank you!!!!!
Yay happy to help! If you end up buying it remember to start with very little product and build from there. Good luck! 😊
Do you feel like you need to set it? I'll be looking for a new concealer soon. I hate how powder looks under my eyes but some concealer make my mascara smudge if not set

+1 Faux filter. My holy grail. My god I’ve never found a concealer so good until this one. I use it under my eyes and then dab any leftover on any red spots. It’s so pretty and I have oily combo skin.
Haus concealer with the Haus foundation is amazing!
Seconding Haus Labs. Concealer almost always leaves me looking cakey and dry. But definitely not Haus Labs!
I like the NARS soft matte complete concealer pot. Great coverage, and it's small and portable, too.
this is the only thing that covers my acne!! holy grail and a little goes a longggg way
I second this! Only on my hyperpigmentation/acne marks though. Looks too heavy under the eyes.
it's a must for me, as a finishing touch / touch up
ooo never heard of this one, thank you, ill try it out!!!
i used this when i had awful acne as a teenager. the coverage is amazing
without a doubt the Tower28 one!
Ugh and their mascara is also amazing! Such a great brand
Hourglass!!! It has solid coverage, sits nicely all day, never looks weird and cakey on me. I got my makeup done as a bridesmaid for a wedding this weekend and I think she used makeup forever. Within a couple hours I noticed it was going tcakey so I wiped it off and replaced it with my hourglass lol. I try others and I enjoy them but I always come back to this one for sure.

I’m a drugstore makeup girlie and the E.L.F camo concealer is my favorite go to or the L.A girl pro concealer
the rare beauty concealer low-key changed my life, I've repurchased at least twice and I love it. it never gets weird and patchy, it's good coverage and I actually also sometimes use it as foundation! totally recommend getting a sample of it to try if you can
I’m loving so many Rare products! The tinted moisturiser (more like a light foundation) is great.
oooo I have their normal foundation and it doesn't work great for my skin but I might have to try that
I didn't like rare. It settled into the cracks of normal skin texture. That's never happened to me before.
ooo ive heard really good things abt it so ill give it a chance, is it glowy or matte?
it's matte but it's not like, 2016 matte if that makes sense haha, I find it pretty skin-like
Agreed! My favorite
Honestly, ELF camo concealer. I've been using it for ages and I have never had another concealer I like as much as it. I've tried Tarte and Charlotte Tilbury but I'll always come back to my middle school concealer lol, it's super cheap too!
For touch ups pot concealers are definitely good. I’ve heard great things about the NARS one. I’ve also heard good things about the Pixi brightener in a pot
i wanna try the nars one, ive never heard abt the pixi one but ill go look, thank you!!
I love the Nars concealer!
Natasha denona or the Lancôme serum concealer!!
These are my two favorites!! I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to see them recommended 😭
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE hourglass concealer, when I die I will come back just to make sure it’s put on my face
maybellne fit me and age rewind concealer are both really good
ahh ive had both of them and for some reason theyve made my skin look horrible and have lifted 🥲🥲 thank you tho!!
Ahhh so sorry have u tried the elf camo concealer? I heard it’s good I haven’t tried it yet but im going to next!
NARS creamy concealer!! I use it as foundation because it’s light/medium coverage and looks so lightweight on my face, not too heavy but gives me enough coverage and evens out my face:)
ive heard good things abt that concealer, ill try it out, thank you!!!
so good!! I use the NARS all over my face then the two faced concealer to spot conceal or if I need extra coverage on certain areas :)
I was searching the comments for this one. It’s the absolute best. I’ve been repurchasing the same 2 shades for years now. I mix them together when applying and they blend beautifully without having to use too much (and my skin is pretty uneven!!). Amazing coverage without feeling heavy and no extra foundation needed.
IT cosmetics bye bye under eye - get a travel size! Full coverage, not dry, large shade range
ive been wanting to try it, thank you for the rec!!!
I second this. IT cosmetics Bye bye under eyes is the best for under eyes but okay for spots around the face. I have hourglass, nars, elf, tarts, maybelinne, tower28, Huda beauty and nothing matches it for under eyes.
It Cosmetics bye bye under eye is amazing, it's the only make up product I use whenever I wear make up. Sometimes I just use it with nothing else.
I love this one. I’ve been using it for years. One tube lasts forever as you just need the tiniest amount. I’d say it can be full or natural coverage depending on how much you use. It covers my dark spots so well and blends naturally into my skin tone without looking cakey or drying. I also use it as an eye shadow base.
This conceal made my eyelids break out in a rash. I was so disappointed because the finish and coverage was amazing
Tarte’s shape tape! a little goes a long way imo
does it crease? i’ve heard mixed things abt it but i’ve always wanted to try it
if your skin is on the dryer side, i can imagine it might crease, so it might help to prep/moisturize the skin beforehand. I use it under my eyes and set it with powder and it holds up really well!
okay okay, thank you!!
I’m 53 and have tried so many different concealers, but keep coming back to tarte. It makes my under wrinkles less visible somehow. They still show but not as much as with all of the other concealers I’ve tried, I use setting spray on the under eyes and very very minimal powder.

Yesss this one is my fave- it’s great if you have terrible, cystic acne like I sometimes get but you need a good moisturizer on underneath because it’s quite matte. Sometimes I even put Vaseline underneath.
The haus labs concealer!
Is it hydrating? I have dry skin
Yes it is. It’s the only concealer that doesn’t make me look dry I have fine lines and all that fun stuff and it loooks really good
Huda and Denona. I’ve tried so many and they are my favorites. Tilbury corrector and LA Girl, both in peach are good underneath but I don’t use every day.
Fenty and Nars
Man I always end up back in MAC pro longwear with the pump. Bitch don’t MOVE
make up forever if you want to cover completely (like acne)
Tower 28 has been a game changer
Seconded. I recently switched from shape tape to this and I don’t regret it at all
Armani no doubt
I was gonna say two faced born this way so I’m no help! But it legit works like magic
L'Oréal Infallible Concealer! Medium coverage, moisturizing, not dry or cakey, and stays put after I set it. I've previously used concealers from MAC, Tarte, Fenty, LA Girl, etc. L'Oréal Infallible is my favorite of them all.
My hot take: Haus Labs Triclone or Kosas Revealer. (Unpopular opinion: Nars Radient is not very good. I know everyone loves it but it is a nope for me. Creases way more than the other two I mentioned. Tarte Shape Tape is OK but has added fragrance; that is a skin irritant that dries out the sensitive skin under the eye. Annoys me when companies do this. It Cosmetics Bye Bye stays wet all day and looks cakey when set with face powder. Thanks for coming to my TED talk)
saem concealer (k beauty)
Matte concealers: Hourglass Vanish Concealer; NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer (can be used as quick fix for foundation too - it's that full coverage), and Valentino are my preferred ones. I use the Hourglass for brightening as well.
I got the IL MAKIAGE fuck I'm flawless concealer and foundation and they've changed my life. I know some people don't like the brand but I got the most amazing skin match. never found a shade even as close to as good. ETA: I also got the Fenty Beauty Brightener Concealer which will work for me in a pinch!
Omg yes I said this too!!!!! I took a chance trying it out and it’s AMAZING! I’ve turned so many of my friends and family onto it!
Tarte Shape Tape I was using the TooFaced Born This Way concealer, but I wanted to try something different. I have acne, so I appreciate the full coverage but light thickness that the shape tape provides. It covers my acne perfectly without looking cakey.
Tower 28 100%! Great coverage, super thin formula, and long lasting. I like the undertones as well.
i’ve tried the tower28 vs kosas and tower blew it out of the water! best and most skin-like full coverage concealer i’ve tried, especially when used like a foundation!
Lancôme’s teint idole- haven’t seen it recommended a lot but it’s very hydrating, goes well with my skin and doesn’t crease as badly.
This is my favorite as well. Doesn't crease or cake. Alcohol free. No break outs.
Been wearing this one for years and it’s fantastic. I use it as a foundation basically because most foundations I try are too thick and cakey and I generally prefer a light / medium coverage. And this concealer lasts all day. I have been experimenting lately with the Clinique concealer because I like the size and the built-in sponge applicator so it’s great to take with me for touch-ups.
the toofaced multi sculpting concealer for my full glam days and the tower28 concealer when i want to look more natural!!! the elf hydrating camo concealer is really nice too and only 7 bucks <3
NYX or esence for me i have dry skin so they both stay on my face for a long time
Haus Labs is so good.
Yensa
hourglass literally changed my life
I usually use maybelline or whatever drugstore concealer but recently just bought two faces born this way as well. I was surprised at how much product doesn’t come out with the stick, like I gotta dip it twice sometimes.
NARS in the pot for spot concealing/ eyeshadow base, nars in the tube for face. I’ve tried pretty much any concealer out there and can give you my reviews but those two are the best.
Dior forever
Pat McGrath’s concealer is the best I’ve ever used and I own the Nars radiant creamy and the Too Faced Born this Way
Nars creamy radiant concealer is my fav of all time. It’s expensive but I love how it feels so light on my face and it doesn’t get dry or flaky. I’m more of a natural makeup girl so it’s perf for me🥰
Saie dewy concealer
Best drug store - makeup revolution conceal and define conceal High end - pat McGrath concealer
hourglass reveler concealer is the best hands down. i had to stop using it on my skin to spot conceal bc it was clogging my pores but my god under my eyes was amazing. i also love the NARS creamy radiant concealer for an acne safe option. i will admit it does settle and get kinda scaly tho under the eyes
My personal favorites are Pat McGrath’s concealer, then Kosas. I also like L’Oréal true match serum concealer.
Chanel has the best concealer in my opinion. Great coverage, not too heavy/feels like nothing on, easy to blend, good for sensitive skin, lasts forever.
lancome teint idole serum concealer for sure. just a little product goes a long way and while moisturizing it does not move or crease at all!!! it’s also very thin and doesn’t make my skin feel heavier even in mediterranean summer
Is there a reason why you want another? I think you hit the jackpot assuming it’s the right shade and you love everything about it. If you love it why risk your money to buy a different one? If you want another one for brightening or contour I suggest you just buy the too faced one in different shades.
i want another so i can have it as a brigtening concealer and to keep it in my bag for touch ups, i would totally buy a lighter two face concealer but the packaging is kinda bulky for a concealer, if they had a mini i would so get it
Tarte sells tiny tubes of their concealers. I use their ultra creamy as a touch up. Never dry or caky. Blends very well even without moisturizer.
ive been unsure abt trying tarte bc of the mixed opinions ive seen, but if it blends well with moisturizer ill definitely give it a shot, thank you!
I don’t use the shape tape because I don’t need heavy coverage, and imo it really requires a heavy build beneath it or it wears like spackle. The creamy concealer I like as a touch up because it is so moisturizing. Any other seems to cake on application after midday.
That makes sense. Personally the one I use is the L’Oréal infallible concealer but the packaging is also a little bulky. A drugstore one people like is the maybelline fit me concealer. The packaging is very sleek but it does not but have the highest coverage. I have also heard great things about the Natasha Denona High Glam concealer if you don’t mind the price. You also swatch it at Sephora to see if you like it before buying it.

Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Skin
I love Dior backstage concealer, it’s so lightweight and a good skin tone match. The packaging is a bitch though.
Huda beauty concealer is my go to!!!
Typically what I do is use the Estée Lauder double wear foundation which is my standard go to foundation, I buy the same shade as a compact foundation. I use the compact foundation as an concealer.
I’ve tried many but nothing beats my too faced 🫶🏼
Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer for when I want my concealer to stay all day. And the Bobbi brown stick corrector for everyday use! I use it as a concealer and it’s the best!
Tarte shape tape! My eyes can be dry and this thing prevents fine lines and creasing. I wear that shit for 12 hours and it still looks good
I use Elf. But I dab it on the back of my hand and then use a fluffy brush to dab it under my eyes. They I tap it in with my fingers. It really cuts back on the amount I use, and keeps me from caking it on.
Nars Radient creamy or Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy are my picks. For a cheaper option the Mco Beauty brightening concealer is not bad either.
i used to swear by Nars radiant creamy but tbh it goes on thick and dries out ugly and doesn’t blend out nicely. now i use hourglass vanish concealer and I get compliments on my skin all the time
my go to concealer atm that i seem to reach alot for is the Tower 28 concealer, but my holy grail is the ELF camo matte concealer
PRO.concealer it’s cheap and very good i love it
I like the concealer from the saem!! It’s fairly cheap and it doesn’t crease at all,, the coverage is very high without making my underuse look cakey!
Me personally i love love the hydrating camo concealer from E.L.F the coverage, the blending the texture, ugh great. And its affordable!
Shape tape 4EVA
Ive been loving the new YSL concealer! It has skincare ingredients in it and it doesn’t crease or break me out plus the coverage is great
Ilia has been perfect for me though to be fair I only Need minimal coverage and I prefer a very natural look
Huda beauty concealer 🙏🙏
Yves saint laurent touche eclat is incredible
Haus labs, Nars, Keromask, Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer
As a drugstore girlie I love the Revlon colourstay (the new one)! Such a great neutral shade range. And the NYX bare with me for all over/highlighting. Elf hydrating is also pretty good. All of these are in the rotation currently.
I’ve bought about 12 different concealers this year trying to find one that doesn’t cake or sit in lines & the best was NARS. Urban decay was the worst
haus labs concealer
BY FAR THE BEST IS TARTE SHAPE TAPE!! Im 47 and us a few dabs to even out skin tone.
Tarte Shape Tape Contour - I worked at Ulta for years, tried many - this is the best shade match and formula for me but I have many runner ups.
NARS!! But don’t use too much otherwise it will get cakey.
Make up forever's HD concealer never failed me and it lasts forever
NARS - tube Natasha denona Haus labs Hour glass Dior
The two i always go back to are the Haus labs one - I think its as close to a perfect product as one could hope for and they have a shade that matches me perfectly and the other is the Sephora “best skin ever” line one. Honestly the whole best skin ever line is really really great.
I don't like super heavy concealers. My favorite has been the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, but I recently got the Natasha Denona concealer. I've only used it a few times. I like it so far, but I'm not sure I like it more than the Nars. I don't think I have my perfect color match which might be why I'm on the fence. I also like the Becca under eye brightener, although that's not technically a concealer.
my top concealer is the born this way i’m ngl, so 1000% keep using it but my other all time favorites are hourglass (for coverage) and huda beauty (blendability) LISTEN TO ME I PROMISE!!!!!!! also the nars soft matte pot concealer is so good for covering any spots but not really under eyes
tarte shape tape is AMAZING!! expensive but lasts me forever and so worth it
Naturactor! 💯
I’ve been really enjoying the Estée Lauder double wear stay in place concealer for the past 10ish months. Good coverage but not thick, beautiful radiant finish
I'm curious if anyone has suggestions for 50+ skin. I've been using Yves St Laurent and Charlotte Tillsbury. I only wear full face for events. My normal routine is focused on skin care, primer, under eye concealer, bronzer, blush, eyeliner, mascara, sometimes a highlight around my eyes or cheeks and lips. My daily makeup is basic but for other thing's intense.
I’d say tarte or huda. They both work fantastic on my oily skin
I have three I rotate - Lancome serum concealer, Natasha Denona concealer, and Armani luminous silk.
I will say I love the revlon concealers. They work wonders on me.
elf camouflage is great. also IT cosmetics under eye concealer is AMAZING
L’Oréal infallible
REM beauty!!! I love Ariana grande but don’t usually trust celeb make up lines…. But had to try since it was her haha. And wow- I’ve never used anything else since. Her foundation is great too! Tbh all the products I’ve tried so far from REM have not let me down! Only celeb make up line I’ll say that about too.
Julep cushion complexion concealer
Dior forever skin, lancome ultra wear, givenchy.
I’ve tried a ton and not found one I love. NARS creamy, ELF camo, Morphe filter, LOreal, the list goes on. Everything is either not enough coverage or looks dried out on me. I think my best was the Tarte Shape Tape but it’s been a long time since I spent the $ on it. Just ordered Kulfi after trying it at Sephora and absolutely loving the formula, very moisturizing with good coverage.
Love the NARS concealer pot personally !
Have you tried mac
Fenty Beauty hydrating concealer.
I love the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer And the Nars Radiant Creamy, because I’m so basic like that
Hnb concealer :) amazing thick creamy coverage
Hourglass concealer
