These Are the 19 Under-Eye Concealers Pro Makeup Artists Rate the Most

The Glossier Stretch Concealer (£15) is small but mighty. "It's amazing for both concealer and foundation because the coverage is sheer and dewy, but it's incredibly buildable," Myles said. "I use this for an all-over light coverage, starting under the eye and then taking any product left over on the brush and buffing it out on the face where more coverage is needed."

The Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer (£9) is so good, it's one of the bestselling concealers in both the UK and US, and for good reason, according to Panych, who is a fan. Available in 18 shades (including a Neutraliser and a Brightener shade), the liquid formula is super pigmented yet extremely thin in texture, which means it's really, really easy to blend. It completely covers up dark circles, the shadows along the inner corners of your eyes, and the redness on and along your nose and cheeks without adding any obvious cakey texture to your skin. And when it dries down, it's neither matte nor luminous, it just looks like your skin.

If you love the classic Luminous Silk Foundation, then you might want to consider giving the Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Concealer (£34.50) a go. It's a makeup-kit staple for Quinn Murphy, who works with Sophie Turner, Kate Hudson, and Sadie Sink, to name a few. "It's got a skin-like finish, has great coverage, and a good shade range," he explained, adding that "it also has the ability to blend and become 'one' with your foundation."

The Uoma Beauty Stay Woke Luminous Brightening Concealer (£21) promises to be "your beauty sleep in a bottle" and, having tried it ourselves, we'd have to agree. The thick, ultra-pigmented concealer disappears into skin and takes any remnants of dark circles with it.

Created by a makeup artist, Sculpted by Aimee Connolly Brighten Up Concealer (£15) is a dream of a concealer. It's ridiculously creamy, so it blends beautifully, whilst the finish is not too matte and not too dewy, which means it neither settles into fine lines nor slides around on your face. As for how it covers dark circles? The brightening capabilities of this formula are truly the stuff of makeup magic.

Yes, Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation (£27) isn't technically a concealer, but that's exactly what makeup artist Grace Ahn uses it for. "It's medium-to-full coverage and has an amazing hydrating formula," she explained, making it a great option for people worried about concealer settling in fine lines or looking dry and crepey throughout the day.

In the eyes of London-based makeup artist Hannah Martin, nothing beats L'Oréal Paris Infallible More Than Concealer (£10) when it comes to a full-coverage under-eye concealer (or if you have a slightly bigger budget, Tarte's Shape Tape (£28)).

A little bit goes a long way (which is great for saving some coins), and Martin swears it covers dark circles in one quick swipe and blend. "It's a great option for under the eyes but also doubles up as an excellent [all-over] complexion perfecter, too," she said.

Makeup artist Emily Cheng — whose clients include Janelle Monáe, Storm Reid, and Yara Shahidi — relies on the old-faithful Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (£24), which comes in 30 shades. "I've used it for years. It has great coverage, doesn't crease or settle, and it's the perfect texture because it's not at all drying," she said. If you want something you can truly depend on, here it is.

If you suffer from dark circles, you may want to look into trying a colour-correcting concealer. Murphy explains that for this, you should reach for something with a peachy (for light skin) or apricot (for medium to darker skin tones) tint, which helps to counteract the blue and purple tones underneath your eyes and along the bridge of your nose. He loves the Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Concealer (£48) as "the formula is creamy enough to feel and look luxurious but dry enough to stay put and limit creasing."

"If your concealer is not enough to lift your under eye darkness or pigmentation, I would recommend using the Chanel Éclat Lumière Highlighter Face Pen (£28)," said makeup artist Ninni Nummela (who works with the brand). "Its light-reflecting and colour-correcting properties brighten any dark shadows."

Want your concealer to last through anything? Turn to Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4), a favourite affordable option among editors and many beauty bloggers (many even use it to contour). It's got very full coverage with a thicker consistency (which is something to consider if you have dry skin) and is best applied with a brush. Once applied, this stuff will. not. budge, and that's a promise.

Samantha Lau — Dua Lipa's makeup artist and creator of her epic Grammy Awards blue eyeshadow look — is turning to the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self Refreshing Dual Tip Concealer (£29) recently. "A little goes a long way, and it doesn't look cakey or dry," she said. The large and pointed doe foot makes application quick yet precise.

If barely there makeup is the look you tend to go for, but you still want a concealer that colour corrects, consider the Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer (£30). It's a favourite of London-based makeup artist Nikki Wolff as "it's really long lasting, it doesn't crease under the eyes (even though it's full coverage), and it camouflages blue tones because of the peachy undertone in each shade."

After that dewy, creamy, dreamy finish with your makeup? Hannah Martin recommends the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Liquid Concealer (£24). "It's got medium coverage but zero dryness that other textured concealers can give," she said. The dome-shaped applicator makes it easy to get right into the under-eye area without the need of extra brushes.
