Magical cover ups to put your best face forward .
It's a tough world out there, and a girl needs to look perfect. So even if the maid doesn’t show and the boss is having a meltdown, you at least need a concealer you can rely on. After all if foundation is the bricks to a good complexion then concealers are certainly the mortar. We’ve tried and tested countless concealers and honed in on six super formulas to suit your specific skin needs. The best part, they won’t crease or fade until you’re ready to. The trick lies in finding a concealer for your specific concern; a formula that does a marvelous job hiding dark circles and uneven skin tone may not be the best choice for covering a pimple. So, to conceal like a pro you need two very different types of concealer. Read on for the six top picks that have you covered, literally.

Concealers for dark circles

The skin under the eyes is thinner and drier than the rest of the face. That’s why the under-eyes are the first to show signs of fatigue, dryness and age. Using your regular (heavier) concealer here will form creases within the hour, making the area you want to conceal even more prominent. Therefore, you need a lightweight formula that covers darkness and hydrates the under-eye area. Look for a formula that has light reflecting properties and ‘bounces’ light off the dark circles so they appear less obvious.

Covering up acne and marks needs special help. You’re dealing with redness (not darkness), raised bumps and bacteria. The trick is to look for formulations that are thicker, creamier and more pigmented so they offer better coverage. It’s best to choose a formula that you can use your finger to dab on versus a pen or brush where the chances of contamination with bacteria are higher. Here’s what makeup artist to the stars Namrata Soni has to say, “Apply concealer in the exact same shade as your foundation directly on top of the blemish, blending outwards in a star shape and then blending the edges gently with your fingertips. Next, press a small amount of powder on it to set. Repeat, continuing with concealer and powder until it’s completely camouflaged.” You might want to look for formulas with germicidal action (think BB creams) that actually treat the problem while covering it.
