The Concealer Wardrobe
Having a wardrobe of different concealers to hand is a great way to ensure your skin is always flawless. Build a collection that includes various textures, finishes and shades, so you can customise, no matter what your skin decides to do.

nars
radiant creamy concealer
“I use this under my eyes every day. It has just a bit of radiance in it, but it’s not at all glittery. I apply this with fingers as it needs to be warmed a little first; also, if you massage the muscle, it helps eyes look brighter by draining away puffiness.”

Le Métier De Beauté
Peau Vierge Concealer
“This is a really luxurious, full-coverage concealer with a matte finish. It contains retinol which helps to reduce fine lines over time, while the hydrating formula conceals dark circles without settling into lines. It works well to conceal any redness. Use with tinted moisturiser to create natural-looking, but flawless, skin.”

“One of my favourite top-up products, this is great for adding a highlight and brightening skin throughout the day. It contains hyaluronic acid which plumps skin, and it’s lightweight, so you can use it on top of powder. It leaves skin ultra-smooth and with a lovely illuminated glow.”

Terrybly Densiliss Concealer
“This skincare-enriched formula is good for mature skin and for disguising dark circles – it is super-lightweight yet hydrating and it never creases. It’s so moisturising you can even forego eye cream, it has a flattering matte finish, and can be topped up throughout the day without settling into fine lines.”

soft matte complete concealer
“This is nicely moisturising with good coverage, and feels very lightweight– as if I have no makeup on. I would recommend applying this to blemishes with a pinpoint brush, after warming slightly on the back of your hand. It looks really natural, and once it’s on, it doesn’t move.”

secret camouflage concealer
“A staple in every makeup artist’s kit, this duo of a pink and a yellow toned concealer means you can blend the perfect shade on the back of your hand. The oil-free formula is great on blemishes and it can also be used to calm redness and disguise dark circles.”

ultimate coverage concealing Crème
“With a soft and creamy texture, this formula gives full coverage and is excellent for blemishes. I love this on younger skin – it gives a flawless finish on oily skin. The shade Butterscotch works well as a colour corrector on lots of skin types to brighten up the under eye area.”

the sensual skin enhancer
“This is a really popular choice and with good reason. It offers full coverage, but you can also turn it into a sheer tinted moisturiser; simply mix with a pump of your favourite primer on the back of your hand and buff it into skin with a dense flat brush.”

concealer brush
“I use this brush a lot. The fine, pointed tip is perfect for applying the right amount of concealer onto blemishes. It’s also simple to blend edges out with the flat sides. Tip: if using a liquid formula, really work it into the skin using the brush for a lasting finish.”
