The right concealer covers what you want covered and then behaves for the rest of the day — no creasing, no caking, no sliding into fine lines. Here are 12 worth buying, from a brightening under-eye to a full-cover spot concealer, each linked to a well-reviewed pick.
My top pick: A radiant, medium-coverage liquid concealer half a shade lighter than your foundation is the one to own for under the eyes — it brightens without going chalky, it doesn’t settle into lines if you set it lightly, and it doubles as a spot cover in a pinch.

The bottom line
A radiant medium-coverage liquid, half a shade light, is the one to own for under the eyes. Add a full-coverage or stick concealer for spots, and a peach corrector if your circles are properly blue.
