As ineffective as it is to look for a solution to the problem rather than work to minimise the problem in the first place (hello early nights!), we all do it. So, we’re bringing you the (quick fix) answer you’re all likely after… The best concealers for minimising dark circles.
The Best Concealers For Dark Circles
So, if you don't manage to get your eight hours of beauty sleep every night, this list of the best dark circle minimising concealers will help you look like you did!Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Concealer
This has to be my favourite concealer of all time! Loaded with pigments for a full coverage finish, it's super-perfecting. As a result, it can be used to camouflage imperfections, dark circles and brighten the undereye area. Despite this, it remains undetectable on your skin so you’ll always boast a flawless look.
Weightless, hydrating and long-wearing too, a diamond-shaped doe-foot applicator lets you apply thick lines with the flat side and thin, precise lines with the tip. This concealer isn't drying or cakey either, just a fantastic option to cover those unwanted dark circles.
Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser Concealer
Even with all the new concealers on the market, this cult-favourite cannot be forgotten about! It’s the OG concealer for covering dark circles. I love that the formula is enriched with goji berry, which hydrates and evens skin tone - think a brighter eye contour. The colour pigments help camouflage imperfections, fine lines and, of course, dark circles too! My favourite thing about this concealer is its soft cushion-like applicator. It allows you to apply the product softly, so you're never using too much pressure on your face or delicate under-eye areas.
NARS Cosmetics Radiant Creamy Concealer
This buildable, long-wearing concealer is a lightweight, super hydrating option for covering dark circles. Made with innovative light-diffusing technology, it’s perfect for hiding fatigue and brightening your under eyes. Sometimes a high coverage concealer can be very mattifying, but not if it’s from NARS! Expect a fresh, dewy complexion with a natural-looking finish.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer
We had to include IT Cosmetics' number one best-selling concealer to this list! You've heard of the expression ‘it does what it says on the tin’ and this applies here! Bye Bye Under Eye dark circles - all thanks to its high pigment, water-resistant formula and super coverage.
This concealer has a skincare element which I love too. It's enriched with soothing cucumber extract, skin-firming collagen and hyaluronic acid which help to reduce the appearance of fine lines. So bye bye imperfections and bye bye under eye dark circles too!
MAC Studio Fix 24-Hour Liquid Concealer
Like any MAC product, this concealer gives you a photo-ready complexion! This formula gives you high coverage with a comfy (there’s no drying or cakey look over here) matte finish. This means it'll blur the appearance of blemishes, imperfections and those dark circles - with 24-hour wear as well!
I love its sponge-tip applicator wand. It allows you to be perfectly precise and have absolute control when applying.
bareMinerals Original Liquid Mineral Concealer
If you need coverage for dark circles, but you also suffer from under-eye puffiness then this concealer is for you! As mineral optics within this formula assist with counteracting the look of shadows. Also, a boost of hydrating humectants locks in moisture to give you heavenly hydration and a smooth finish, with no chance of creasing. I love the way this concealer feels on my skin too. It has a lightweight, dreamy feel but covers dark circles perfectly. There’s also added brightness and luminosity.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer
My go-to, full coverage, value for money concealer. For under £10 you get a brilliantly buildable, long-lasting, camouflaging concealer. And a matte yet natural finish leaves your under eyes dark circle, imperfection free!
Its weightless formula, along with its soft doe-foot applicator means you can apply this concealer without damaging your delicate under-eye area.
