The Best Concealers For Dark Circles

Dark circles — whether you love them, hate them, or don’t mind them, we all need a helping hand from time to time. Dark circles are genetic, so they’re impossible to ‘get rid of’, but if you’re looking to conceal them, you can rely on some of our best concealers for dark circles. Get your hauls at the ready…

Before you choose your favourite, it’s important to know what formulas to look for and how to apply under-eye concealer for a flawless finish, every time.

Whilst you might favour heavier, matte formulas for hiding breakouts, the under-eye area is a whole different ball game. The skin around the eyes is much more delicate, meaning that lightweight formulas are essential for a soft, seamless finish that avoids creasing or settling into fine lines. When tackling dark circles, you’ll want to bag any brightening properties that help to neutralise pigmentation and cover purple tones.

Finally, for application, patting a light layer into the skin using fingertips, a brush, or sponge would be our choice. We’d always advise setting it with powder for a finish that lasts all day without fading or creasing.

First up on our list of faves is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Concealer. The creamy, lightweight formula literally is magic on the skin. It’s light enough to not crease, but still has enough coverage to conceal any dark circles. The buildable, brightening, and blurring formula sets to a soft-focus finish that looks flawless, but still natural. To top it off, the teardrop-shaped wand makes for easy application, meaning you can get perfect skin no matter where you are.

When it comes to seamless makeup without the fuss, NUDESTIX is always our go-to and the Nudefix Cream Concealer is no exception. This creamy, lightweight concealer has a sheer to medium, buildable coverage that won’t be too heavy on the skin or settle into fine lines. Formulated with super-gel and microbiome technology, the concealer has a non-drying finish that won’t look cakey, so you can fake eight hours of sleep in seconds.

Designed with under-eyes in mind, the ZOEVA Retouch Elixir is a soft, creamy concealer that gets rid of dark circles in seconds. The colour-correcting formula makes it perfect for pigmentation, whilst the addition of hyaluronic acid hydrates and softens as it conceals. The finish? A satin soft focus that won’t budge, smudge, or crease. Try now and thank us later.

Just as the name suggests, this is the concealer you need if you’re looking for brighter under-eyes. The Milani Brightening Undereye Tint makes dark circles a thing of the past. A skincare-makeup hybrid, this tint has colour-correcting properties with sheer coverage that perfectly blurs dark under-eyes. Enriched with collagen to plump and smooth, whilst caffeine gives the skin a boost, you can wear this tint alone or under your favourite concealer for a fade-proof finish.
