The thing about dark circles is that no amount of eye cream will ever heal them for good. Eye creams can help (and so can a good night’s sleep), but at the end of the day, dark circles aren’t your fault—they’re genetic. And hey, that’s why concealer exists. The best under-eye concealers are the perfect balance of creamy and pigmented. They stay put all day (and night) but won’t crease and settle into fine lines. It’s no wonder why these concealers on this list have not only won dozens of awards but also found their way into the makeup bags of nearly every celebrity, royal, and makeup artist. Ahead, shop the best under-eye concealers to fake a good night’s sleep.
- Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
Many makeup devotees will tell you this is the only under-eye concealer that matters. Lightweight, creamy, and ultra-radiant, this fan-favorite concealer from NARS covers dark circles instantly while still looking totally natural.
- Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer
This creamy, full-coverage concealer makes skin truly glow, and it’s pigmented enough to double as a foundation too. We love packing it on vacation in lieu of both a concealer and foundation.
- Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer
This waterproof concealer blurs and brightens in just one sweep, and the coverage lasts all day long without creasing. We reach for this when we know we’re going to be photographed, videotaped, or appear on someone’s IG story.
- Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Face and Under-Eye Concealer
If you’re a fan of Armani’s culty Luminous Silk foundation, you need to try the concealer too. It hydrates for 24 hours while leaving the same imperceptible, skin-like finish.
- Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen
Touche Éclat is in a league of its own. It’s a light coverage concealer that dramatically brightens and illuminates your under-eyes (all without a hint of shimmer).
- Sisley Phyto-Cernes Eclat N°2
Rumor has it that Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, recently wore this concealer, which helps reduce puffiness and hide tired eyes.
- Bobbi Brown Undereye Corrector
The undertone of Bobbi Brown’s creamy concealer is designed to specifically mask and hide the purple and blue tones present in dark circles. No matter how tired you look, this concealer can handle it.
- Pat McGrath Labs Sublime Perfection Concealer
Pat McGrath’s concealer is perfect if you prefer matte skin. The full-coverage formula is great for both under your eyes and hiding zits.
- Glossier Stretch Concealer
Glossier’s concealer is buildable, so you can tap on a little (or a lot) depending on how you feel. The dewy, glowy finish comes from micro waxes that allow the concealer to move with your skin, so it never looks dry or cakey.
- Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
Arguably one of the most famous concealers of all time, the waterproof Shape Tape is beloved for its ability to cover anything and everything, while never creasing or highlighting imperfections.
- MAC Studio Fix 24-Hour Smooth Wear Concealer
We’d never recommend wearing concealer for 24 hours straight, but it’s nice to know that this one from MAC won’t settle, cake, or ghost you for a full day. Considering the coverage, we also love how lightweight this one feels.
