For Long-Wear:

A great, affordable option, this new cover-up comes in a whopping 25 shades and has been designed to contour in addition to providing you with your usual concealing needs. We also love the huge, jumbo brush it comes with, which makes application easier than ever. Just dab on a few dots (a little goes a long way) and buff in with a big fluffy brush for better graduation of colour.

This dewy, hydrating liquid-balm had us hooked from the first time we tried it. Packed with hyaluronic acid and brightening Vitamin C, it doubles up as a nourishing under eye serum too. A brilliant, fool proof product that gives skin a soft glow with impressive coverage. Its bouncy texture is satisfying too.

It subtly covers every skincare woe from acne to visible pores and scarring, and it’s silky smooth finish means you’ll never look cakey. If you’re looking to use it as a contour too, try going 1-2 shades darker or 1-2 shades lighter if you’re after a more luminous finish.

For A Matte Finish:

A newcomer to the UK, MILK’s smooth concealer comes in 16 shades of creamy, blendable fluid that covers any and every skincare woe, including scarring and spots. Despite being incredibly lightweight, it provides medium-to-full coverage that never looks thick or powdery on the skin. The best bit? It doesn’t leave lids with pesky creasing thanks to its teeny bendable spheres which sink into the skin.
