There's no denying that the beauty industry still has a long way to go when it comes to rolling out concealer shade ranges that are inclusive to all skin tones — but that's not to say that a decent amount of work hasn't already been done.
In response to the push for more inclusivity over the past few years, many brands have stepped up their product lineups and catered to people of colour, some with ranges that include close to 50 shades. In case you needed a little help with figuring out which brands to shop from to get high-quality concealers for dark skin tones, we've rounded up a few of our personal favourites from Fenty Beauty to NARS Cosmetics.
Check them out, ahead.
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer
Available in 50 shades, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer ($26) features a creamy formula that provides medium-to-full coverage and won't budge or crease.
Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless 24 Hour Concealer
The name of Smashbox Studio Skin Flawless 24 Hour Concealer ($25) isn't an exaggeration. The product, which comes in 30 shades, uses a 24-hour crease-proof formula to truly give your skin a flawless finish.
Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Airbrush Concealer
Full coverage? Weightless? Waterproof? Hourglass Cosmetics Vanish Airbrush Concealer ($34) is basically everything you need in a concealer and more.
E.l.f. Cosmetics Hydrating Camo Concealer
E.l.f. Cosmetics Hydrating Camo Concealer ($6) is a double-duty product that uses a great-for-dry-skin formula that hydrates your skin while working to conceal undereye circles and skin discoloration. (That under-$10 price tag doesn't hurt either.)
Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer
Its formula is mega (and we mean mega) pigmented, which means your undereye circles are no match for Urban Decay Stay Naked Correcting Concealer ($29).
Jouer Cosmetics Essential High Coverage Liquid Concealer
The colour-correcting properties of the Jouer Cosmetics Essential High Coverage Liquid Concealer ($22) aren't the only reason why we love it. It also contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E that both help your skin look its best and retain moisture.
Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer
Using Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer ($29) is like using four products in one. The product conceals, contours, highlights, and retouches on top of being infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
Ask a beauty editor (or anyone, for that matter) about their top five favourite concealers of all time and the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($30) is bound to make that list. Its full-coverage formula is able to hide even the most aggressive dark circles and moisturises, too, so fine lines don't look pronounced.
Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer
You can wear the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer ($28) for up to 12 hours and your skin will still appear as crease-free as your first few moments trying it out.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear Concealer
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear Concealer ($29) stays in place for hours without creasing and is so resistant that not even humidity or perspiration will be a match.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer ($16) was developed with help from plastic surgeons and is infused with hydrolyzed collagen and anti-ageing peptides (among other ingredients) to conceal imperfections and improve the skin's overall appearance.
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Concealer ($31) has an ultrapigmented formula that not only provides full coverage but also feels weightless on your skin.
