4 Multi-Purpose Concealers That Do It All

I'm one of the few beauty writers I know who would consider themselves foundation-averse. Despite how much I love testing beauty products, as a girl with dry, eczema-prone skin, I've just never liked the way foundation lays on my face.

For that reason, the concealers I keep in my makeup bag have to be the absolute best of the best: they need enough coverage to correct my problem areas, but have to be sheer and blendable enough to melt effortlessly into my foundation-free skin. Call me Goldilocks because I want my concealer formulated not too thick nor too watery — it should be right in the middle. It should never look cakey or like I have makeup on; I want a concealer that leaves my skin looking like my skin, just a little better.

After years of hunting and endless testing, I've found four multi-purpose concealers that are now on heavy rotation in my makeup routine. They check all the boxes for what I need in a concealer, and even better, are all easy enough to blend out on the go — perfect for someone like me who always wants to put on the quickest face possible. Here's why I love them.
