Concealer

The concealer is one of the most versatile tools in daily makeup: originally designed to hide localized imperfections such as dark circles, redness, and small irregularities, it has evolved into a product capable of evening out and perfecting the complexion with surgical precision. With over 1,800 references available, our selection meets every need for skin tone, finish, and coverage, offering solutions for all skin types and every level of makeup experience.

How to choose the right concealer for you

The first criterion for selection is the formula: liquid concealers provide a lightweight and blendable texture, ideal for dark circles and for those seeking a natural result; stick or cream versions offer more intense coverage and are better suited for pinpoint imperfections like redness or small scars. Equally important is the undertone: a yellow-orange concealer neutralizes bluish dark circles, a green one corrects redness, while neutral shades even out the complexion without altering its color. The most common mistake is choosing a shade that is too light compared to the foundation, resulting in the opposite effect of what is desired.

It is also crucial to consider the skin type: oily skin benefits from mattifying and long-lasting formulas, while dry or mature skin prefers hydrating concealers with a luminous finish, which avoid accentuating fine lines. Considering the desired finish — full coverage, natural, or luminous — helps guide the choice without relying solely on packaging. For those approaching makeup for the first time, fluid formulas with an integrated brush applicator are generally the easiest to blend and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between concealer and foundation?

Foundation evens out the entire complexion over a large area, while concealer targets specific areas, usually offering higher coverage and more concentrated pigmentation.

How do you correctly apply concealer for dark circles?

Gently dab with your fingertip or a flat brush under the eye, blending outward. Setting it with a light translucent powder helps prolong its wear and prevents migration into fine lines.

Is concealer applied before or after foundation?

Generally after: applying foundation first reduces the amount of concealer needed, allowing you to work only on the remaining imperfections for a more natural and even result.
