Under-Eye Circles, Pimples, and Redness: These Concealers Hide Them All

This clean formula has a creamy consistency and offers medium coverage. Not only does it do a good job of hiding blemishes and dark circles, but it also has skincare benefits. Ingredients include caffeine, pink algae, hyaluronic acid, peptides, arnica, and panthenol. Assistant Beauty Editor Maya Thomas also highlights this one as one of the best for addressing hyperpigmentation around the eyes.

Pros: Hydrating, buildable coverage, features clean, skin-improving ingredients, lots of shade options, long-lasting, crease-resistant

Cons: May be oily on oiler skin types, may have a slight smell

Compelling review: "This is my all-time favorite makeup product. I use two of them, the 3.0 around my eyes and to spot-conceal, and the 5.0, which I use the following creative way: After moisturizing my face with grape-seed oil, I mix the amount on the wand with three drops of grape-seed oil in the palm of my hand, and I pat this mixture all over my face, then massage it in with my fingers. This is so awesome: It makes my face radiant and gives it a light healthy tint. It lasts all day and feels like nothing and makes my skin better. Nothing compares. I keep trying a variety of tinted moisturizers, and nothing works. I am 53 with dry skin that breaks out very easily and is sensitive to everything. This works with no irritation and makes me look much younger, healthy, and radiant. It makes my skin better too, I think."

This is currently my favorite product for dealing with redness and pimples. Thomas loves this one for spot touchups too! It's a cross between a foundation or concealer, so you can use it to spot conceal or to cover your whole face. It's lightweight and looks and feels very natural.

Pros: Can multitask as a concealer and/or foundation or contour, feels lightweight and breathable on the skin, noncomedogenic, clean, and EU-compliant ingredients, easy to use, blend, and apply

Cons: Expensive

Compelling review: "I'm not really a fan of stick concealers since many of them tend to be very dry, but this one from Merit really surprised me. It blends like butter, it has a very nice medium coverage, and it doesn't feel heavy. and you can also use it to cover other imperfections of your skin without having to use foundation. It will help simplify my daily makeup routine, and it is ideal if you are looking for a no-makeup makeup look because of how natural it looks and how it helps to even out the skin. I will continue using it in my daily routine!"

Ferreira likes this color-correcting formula from Erborian to reduce redness. It's lightweight and is equipped with broad-spectrum SPF 25 protection.

Pros: Soothes the skin, corrects redness, hydrates, evens out the complexion, contains SPF, self-adjusts to match your skin tone, lightweight

Cons: Expensive

Compelling review: "I have naturally rosy cheeks and wanted a product that could tone down the redness under makeup and on no makeup days. This product works! I love that it had SPF and is super easy to apply. I would purchase again."

Nars's concealer is always on best-of lists because it does a good job of masking, blurring, and looking natural at the same time. It also has a blend of magnolia-bark extract, grape seed extract, and vitamin E to hydrate and reduce redness.

Pros: Long-lasting, 16-hour wear, multitasks to brighten and conceal, creamy and natural-looking texture and finish, easy to blend

Cons: May crease or feel drying and/or cakey on dry skin types

Compelling review: "I absolutely love this concealer. It blends out easily and has a gorgeous, natural finish. I have darkness around my eyes and mouth, and this concealer makes it disappear, no color correcting needed. I can just put this on, set it with setting powder, do a wing, mascara, and lipstick, and I literally don't need foundation. It looks like I have great skin. I buy it over and over. Hope they never change the formula or discontinue it. It's my daily fave. Color is gorgeous. Can't say enough nice things about it."

If you're looking for a concealer with anti-aging benefits, look no further than this affordable one from Maybelline. It's enriched with haloxyl, which brightens, firms, and smooths. The built-in applicator makes it so easy to apply.

Pros: Affordable, can be used to conceal dark circles and blemishes and used in place of contour and/or foundation, sponge-tip applicator makes for easy blending, hydrating, long-wearing, noncomedogenic

Cons: May crease or cake depending on your skin prep and/or skin type

Compelling review: "I was looking for an everyday concealer that would last all day, would set well, doesn't look cakey, and could cover the discoloration under my eyes. This concealer has the most skin-like finish out of any I've tried."

Ferreira recommends this concealer duo. You can mix the shades together or use them solo, depending on your skin needs. The full-coverage formula leaves a natural finish.

Pros: Easily provides coverage for dark circles, redness, and blemishes; luxe and creamy texture

Cons: Expensive, not many shade options, might feel too heavy or cakey for some people

Compelling review: "I've been using this for many years, and the shades are an exact match for my skin tone. It's amazing how it makes my dark circles disappear. And it lasts all day—even after a warm and humid day. Would not buy anything but this!!"

This brand-new liquid concealer from Haus Labs is already getting rave reviews from editors, reviewers, and makeup artists alike. It boasts medium yet buildable coverage, feels light and natural on the skin, and is great for anyone who is acne prone or deals with hyperpigmentation. It's noncomedogenic and fortified with skincare-grade ingredients like fermented arnica, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.

Pros: Lightweight, long-wearing, noncomedogic, features skin-improving ingredients that soothe and nourish the skin, blurs, brightens, de-puffs skin, conceal redness

Cons: Ingredients (like niacinamide) could irritate those with sensitive skin

Compelling review: "The texture of this concealer feels thicker—almost like skincare—but it blends out extremely easily and leaves a beautiful, natural finish. This concealer doesn't crease on me either! I noticed I don't have to use powder to set it. Definitely recommend. I think this would work well for mature skin as well."

This is another go-to concealer for me. It just goes on so smoothly, and it manages to cover up whatever I want to hide so well. I love that it doesn't feel too heavy or cakey either.

Pros: Delivers full, buildable coverage that feels weightless on the skin; easy to blend; provides a blurred, airbrush-like finish; waterproof; noncomedogenic; long-wearing

Cons: Reviewers wished for more shade options, may cake and/or crease

Compelling review: "This is such a beautiful and pigmented concealer. I bought this to highlight under my eyes, and I get very minimal creasing (I'm old, I've got wrinkles, creasing is inevitable). This is so pigmented, blends beautifully, and lays so pretty. I'll definitely be buying again!"

You can use this concealer to highlight, correct, and conceal. It also contains glycerin, vitamin E, and caffeine to reduce puffiness, diminish dark circles, and leave a nice, glowy finish.

Pros: Multitasking formula that can conceal, highlight, and correct; lightweight; contains strategic skin-improving ingredients

Cons: Expensive

Compelling review: "My eyes are such a problem area for me that I had completely stopped wearing makeup. I didn't find this concealer too lightweight or too heavy as a concealer. It did hide my dark circles and slightly minimized my puffiness. I also have wrinkles and some bumps around my eyes and most concealers I have tried end up drawing more attention to my troubles. This did not draw any attention to these issues. It really did help blur them."
