The Best Concealers Under £16
Best For Dark Circles
Brighten Up Concealer, £16 | Sculpted By Aimee
When you want to disguise the effects of a bad night’s sleep, this brightening formula will be your best friend. Hyaluronic acid infuses the concealer with added moisture, while pearlescent particles give it a luminous effect.

Best For Covering Fine Lines
Instant Anti-Age Eraser Concealer, £7.99 (was £9.99) | Maybelline
An old favourite of our beauty director Jenn, this builds nicely without turning cakey or settling into fine lines. The sponge applicator is great for on-the-go application too.

Best For A Matte Finish
HD Liquid Concealer, £10 | Kay Beauty
Proof that matte doesn’t have to mean flat, this concealer delivers a lightweight, comfortable finish. Moringa oil provides just enough hydration to prevent flaking, while the texture sets to a natural, second-skin matte that looks smooth – never dry.

Best Shade Range
Hydrating Camo Concealer, £8 | E.l.f. Cosmetics
This moisturising formula is a go-to for our beauty writer Orin, thanks to the creamy coverage that lasts all day. There are 25 shades available, which is impressive for a high-street brand.

Best For Blemishes
Bare With Me Concealer Serum, £9.19 (was £11.49) | NYX Professional
This concealer went viral on social media a few years back but still stands up today as one of the best for acne-prone skin. This is down to the ingredients – soothing centella, anti-bacterial green tea and hydrating tremella mushroom help calm existing blemishes and prevent new pimples from forming.

Best For Longwear
Infallible More Than Concealer 24H, £10.99 | L'Oréal Paris
If you’ve tried the setting spray from L’Oréal’s Infallible range you’ll know that it has true staying-power, and this concealer is no different. Full coverage yet seamless on the skin, the finish is a flattering matte that helps to stop unwanted shine from developing throughout the day.

Best For A Crease-Free Finish
Wakeup Artist Undereye Correcting Concealer, £12 | Morphe
Infused with a serum that contains hydrating glycerin and glow-boosting arnica, this silky, lightweight liquid sits beautifully on the skin – especially if your main concerns include dryness or wrinkles. There’s a wide range of shades to choose from (24 to be exact) including options for different undertones.
