Our pick of the best… under-eye concealers

May 28, 2015

There is no worse feeling than splashing out on a new bells-and-whistles concealer only to find that it either has no coverage at all, or is way too cakey and thick.

It can be hard to figure out in the shop what consistency and shade is correct for your skin, especially if you're buying concealer to correct those pesky under-eye circles.

To save you at least some of the hassle, we've rounded up five of our favourite tried and tested concealers from the ladies here at SHEmazing! Towers. There's an option to suit every price range, so panic not.

Give one of these a go next time you're looking for something to give your skin a flawless finish…

1. Laura Mercier Secret Concealer
This tiny pot will last you for ages, so it's worth the price tag. The thick pigment-heavy cream gives incredible coverage, and it's moisture-rich formula means it won't get stuck in fine lines and creases. This is only recommended for the under-eye area so you will need another product to correct any redness or cover spots.

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer, €26

2. MAC Pro Longwear
This is the ultimate all-purpose concealer, as it is lightweight enough to be used on all areas of the face. The matte finish provides a great base for foundation, and it's one of the only concealers that we found to last all day.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, €21.50

3. Catrice Camouflage Cream
If you're reluctant to hand over €20+ for concealer, Catrice is the perfect budget brand. Their Camouflage Cream Concealer is a great dupe for Bobbi Brown's Corrector Concealer – we really couldn't tell the two apart.

Catrice Camouflage Cream, €3.49

4. Lancôme Teint Miracle Corrector
It might be the most expensive of the bunch, but if you're looking to specifically highlight and colour-correct the under-eye area, this is your (wo)man. The lightweight finish really lifts and brightens the skin, and it won't settle into any fine lines. Again though, this is not recommended for covering spots as it is not heavy enough, so you will need another product for that.

Lancôme Teint Miracle Corrector, €32.50

5. NYX HD Concealer
Another wonder product that is incredibly cheap for the result it achieves. As well as a range of beige shades which work equally well as highlighters, the HD Concealer also comes in a green tone for correcting redness and a yellow tone for dark under-eye circles. At that price, you could buy them all!
