The best concealers work undercover without anyone noticing them. Here you'll find the top 10 concealers in a varity of formulations: Concealers to cover redness, under-eye circles, pimples & even body flaws.
1. Conceal Redness: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage
We love this concealer because it smartly comes in 2 shades so you can blend your perfect match (you may notice you need different shades for different seasons). InStyle magazine made it a 'Best Beauty Buy' for '06, because the pros say its yellow undertones help make it the best concealer for covering up redness. 'It even works on broken veins,' one makeup artist claimed. $28.
2. World’s Most Popular Concealer: YSL’s Touche Eclat
One of Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat concealers ($35) is sold every 20 seconds around the world.
3. Best Inexpensive Concealer: L'Oreal
The formula mimics your skin's texture, plus it's super-blendable, practically disappearing onto the skin surface. You'll love the lightweight, creamy texture. But it does cover-up as well.
4. Best Concealer for Body: Dermablend Cover Crème
This concealer is specially formulated to cover sores, cuts, pimples or veins on legs & body. When choosing a shade remember that the area below your neck with be a shade or 2 darker.
5. Best Highlighter: Laura Merciers Secret Brightener
Use this to conceal dark circles and discolorations. The wand can also be used on the browbone as a highlighter. It will magically make eyes look more awake, wider.
6. Best Pimple Concealer: Dermablend Smooth Concealer
Just a little bit of this 'grand dame' of concealers does the job, according to InStyle magazine, which named this a best beauty buy for 2006. But leave this concealer for your pimples only. You'll want a lighter, creamier formula for under your eyes.
7. Best Illuminator: Guerlain Perfect Light Illuminator
Illuminators have the amazing ability to make your skin look 10 times better than it does. They're rather new & a makeup artist favorite. What we love about them is how they camouflage like a concealer while adding flattering highlights to the face. (Illuminators are tinged with shimmery gold specks). Ladies Home Journal beauty editors suggest you dab it on your cheekbones, browbone or above your cupid's bow.
8. Best Concealer to Cover Up Under-Eye Circles: Sue Devitt Automatic Camouflage
To cover dark circles under eyes, you need a yellow or peach-tone concealer.
Runners up: Stila Eye Concealer
We also hear great things about Cle de Peau Beaute, a favorite of makeup artists and a winner several years in a row in InStyle Best Beauty Buys issue. Buy at Bergdorf's
9. Best Basic Under Eye Concealer: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer
A moist formula, such as Bobbi Brown's creamy concealer won't highlight fine lines & wrinkles, while still providing enough cover for dark circles.
