This Semi-Matte Concealer
Black Radiance Concealer Stick, $3
SHOP IT
Usually, concealers and under-eyes don't mix, thanks to the zillions of fine lines that suddenly appear the second you start applying. But this creamy, castor oil–based stick glides over dark circles without caking into creases, and stays semi-matte all day long.

This Full-Coverage Concealer
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $6
SHOP IT
This no-crease concealer is full-coverage, crazy long-lasting, and surprisingly hydrating—plus, it's almost an exact clone of the iconic Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, but at half the price.

NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer, $6
SHOP IT
Whether you're competing in the next Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic, or just planning to exist as a human in the spring humidity, you can rest assured this waterproof, high-coverage concealer won't melt off your face.

Iman Second to None Cover Cream, $11

Use a damp makeup sponge to blend a thin layer of this green tea–based concealer under your eyes, or grab a skinny concealer brush to home in on bumps and red marks. Either way, the long-wear formula doesn't budge once it sets, so you can go as sheer—or as heavy—as you want.

This Mattifying Concealer
CoverGirl Outlast All Day Concealer, $6
SHOP IT
Oily skin, meet your new BFF. This drugstore favorite is velvety and blendable, so it won't feel caked on when you first apply it, and the added pinch of talc in the formula helps it stay matte throughout the day, meaning it won't slip down your face by lunch.

This Hydrating Concealer
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Concealer, $10
SHOP IT
The 16-hour claim on the tube isn't just lip service—the lightweight concealer seriously stays put from morning 'til night. Plus, its silicone base makes the formula dewy enough to blend over the driest of skin types.

This Matte Concealer
Physicians Formula #InstaReady Concealer, $9
SHOP IT
One pump (all you need) of this matte, full-coverage concealer keeps blotchiness, zits, and acne scars covered all day, while the included baby sponge helps blend away any excess around your eyes and nose.
