Rimmel Edition 2 In 1 Concealer Pot 140 Medium COSRIM756

Product Information

Pat McGrath knows a thing or two about creating beautiful complexion formulas, and this concealer is one of them. With a creamy and lightweight consistency, it applies smoothly and evenly under the eyes. We loved that the formula is buildable, so you can get medium or full coverage to suit your preferences, and we were impressed that it was pretty resistant to creasing. Also notable is this product's expansive shade range, with 36 hues to choose from—the second-highest number on this list behind Fenty Beauty's concealer. With that being said, the shades do lean pretty yellow in tone, so if you have cool, pink undertones, it could be challenging to find a shade that matches your skin tone perfectly. Wear: How does the concealer hold up when you go through your normal makeup routine? Did the concealer stay on and stay effective throughout the day? How comfortable was it to wear the concealer throughout the day? There are a lot of things we love about this fan-favorite dark circle concealer. The price is affordable, the applicator is designed specifically for under-eye circles, and the formula is lightweight and buildable. During our test, we were impressed that it was crease-resistant, non-drying, and made the under-eye area look smooth and bright. Although the sponge-tip applicator isn't ideal for actually blending the product, the shape is awesome for placing concealer under the eyes as well as in areas of the face to highlight. The workable formula and rounded applicator combo also make it easy to contour if you buy a shade that's a bit darker than your complexion. The Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Wear Concealer ( available at Sephora) was not a standout in any of our tests. It faded throughout the day, took a little more concealer to cover everything, and has an unimpressive shade range of 22.

10 Best Pot Concealers Of 2023 For Flawless Skin - Stylecraze

The key to getting your concealer to stay in place? “Really prep the skin,” says celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek. Your base should be hydrated (even acne-prone skin types require moisture) and primed. Once that’s said and done, it’s time to grab your concealer. “If you have stubborn acne, you can apply a thin layer of concealer and then apply your foundation,” says Malek. “Then go over your acne again with more concealer.”

Can you wear concealer by itself?

On days when you don’t get enough sleep and wake up the next morning with dark patches around your eyes, concealers can come to your rescue. The best pot concealers available in the market have a rich, creamy texture. They offer the right coverage to cover up dark spots, acne scars, blemishes, and other imperfections. Both the RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up Concealer and the Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Perfecting Concealer offer medium to full coverage, while the Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer provides buildable coverage. In addition, they are lightweight, waterproof, highly pigmented, and available in multiple shades to match your skin tone perfectly. Consider your skin type, formulation, coverage, shade range, price, and go through the ingredients list thoroughly before choosing the best pot concealers. Why Trust Stylecraze To compile this list, our team of editors and contributors spent hours researching the best products on the market in this category before selecting top-rated options to put to the test in our lab facility in NYC. During our test, we evaluated each concealer based on its texture, coverage, staying power, shade range, and value. Those that impressed us the most across these attributes appear on this list. The RMS Beauty Un Cover-Up Concealer ( available at Sephora) certainly was lightweight (as promised), but that meant it didn’t cover anything despite multiple layers. It was also too emollient to stay in place. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but creasing is natural if you yourself have creases," says Chanel. "And that’s okay! Making sure the product is evenly distributed in the crease and set with a hydrating, non-drying powder is key. However, if you don’t have under-eye creases and seem to still see some creasing in your makeup, then make sure you’re letting the product set properly before blending. And though it feels counterintuitive, use less product. An excess of product is often the reason someone who otherwise has a smooth under eye will see creasing in their concealer."

For skin pigmentation and uneven skin tone, I recommend a liquid one as you can build up the coverage to a flawless finish. Plus, you can mix it into your regular liquid foundation to give it that extra red carpet finish. MAC's Studio Fix 24 Hour Smoothwear Concealer is amazing, and a fashion week and award season staple in my kit." Pair it with a great hyperpigmentation treatment for maximum results. What about the best concealer brushes? The MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer ( available at MAC Cosmetics) has light coverage that settled into fine lines and wears off within hours.When looking for a concealer, keep in mind where and why you want to use it—under your eyes, on blemishes, to accentuate the high points of your face, or even all over your face like foundation—and how much coverage you want. If you’re like me and you want a concealer that looks great doing it all, you’ve come to the right place. Finish: For dark circles and under eye discoloration, "look for concealers that have radiant or luminizing formulas," says Whelan. For acne and dark spots, look for long-lasting matte finish that will stay in place all day. For mature skin, steer away from anything shimmery or too heavy, which "will look unnatural," cautions Whelan. Instead, choose a medium coverage liquid concealer and apply sparingly.

Hi, I'm Jessica, former lifestyle writer and resident beauty expert at Reviewed. In high school, I dealt with cystic acne that left behind hyperpigmentation and uneven texture. Because of this, I often reached for full-coverage foundations and concealers that could essentially make my face a blank canvas for any other makeup I wanted to apply. Our favourites are the MAC Studio Fix Conceal and Correct Palette and the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Total Cover Palette. As soon as I tried it, I thought it was going to be the winner. It smoothed out over my under-eye area, creating a blurring effect. I also loved how hydrated and healthy my skin looked after putting it on. Despite CoverGirl offering the same quantity of colors as Tarte, this shade range could use an extra option in the tan and deep categories. There are eight shades in the light and medium categories, and seven shades in the tan and deep ones. Additionally, it would be easier to choose a shade if the names were reminiscent of the undertones, like Tarte’s. Still, our panelists felt that they received shades close enough to create a cohesive makeup look. Unfortunately, three of the five testers (myself included) got a shade that didn’t match our expectations when shopping online. In my case, “Vanilla” was much darker and tanner than I expected a “fair neutral” shade to look. The concealer looked great in isolation, but certainly didn’t match my skin tone.The Wet n Wild Photo Focus Concealer ( available at Target) has an incredibly limited shade range of just 14, majority being light colors. The applicator felt dry on the skin and didn’t hold a lot of product. You can find color-correcting concealers in both cream and liquid forms. These come in colors like green, yellow, and pink, depending on what you want to correct. We opted not to test these, as they are usually layered before your foundation or flesh-toned concealer anyway. More Concealer Options Just note that there's no such thing as the best concealer that works for absolutely everyone. You have to consider your skin type, undertone and personal preferences. Are you looking for a long-wear, crease-free option that doesn't need setting powder to last all day long? Or are you after one that is weightless and illuminating but gives you just coverage to get through your 9-5? The drugstore is my favorite place to shop for makeup. It feels like a double win when you find a holy-grail product and it’s affordable. Of the 14 drugstore brands I tested, the CoverGirl TruBlend Undercover Concealer takes the crown. Colour correctors work incredibly well alongside your concealer; as the name suggests they colour correct rather than completely cover up. So for example, if you have blue or purple under your eyes, it's useful to use a peachy, orange-toned corrector before your concealer.

Both the E.L.F. Cosmetics Hydrating Camo Concealer ( available at Target) and the E.L.F. Cosmetics 16HR Camo Concealer ( available at Target) felt heavy and looked dry on my skin, though the Hydrating Camo was a tad better. We fell in love with this concealer during our test of the best drugstore concealers, and we've continued to love it throughout testing. The serum-like formula is very lightweight and blendable, and we were incredibly impressed by how skin-like it looked once it set down. You won't get super full coverage from this one, but it's versatile because you can sheer it out for light coverage or build it up to yield medium-to-full coverage. We did experience a bit of creasing in prominent creases under the eyes, though this wasn't a dealbreaker because you can gently tap out the creased areas with your fingertips without ruining the application. Not only does it look smooth and subtly radiant under the eyes, but some of our editors even use it as a foundation thanks to the weightless texture, beautiful coverage, and natural finish. This NARS concealer earned high marks during our test—especially for how it covered blemishes in addition to brightening the under-eye area. It works beautifully to camouflage dark circles and discoloration thanks to the buildable full-coverage formula, and we love that the finish is a soft matte, meaning that it's not as dry or flat as other matte options. And despite being a matte formula in a pot, the texture is surprisingly creamy, making it very easy to blend. While it can emphasize obvious dry patches, we found that it looked incredibly smooth in general. It also works beautifully to cover red blemishes and control oil surrounding breakouts. The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer ( available at Target) offers light to medium coverage that looks fine on the skin, but has a scarce shade range of just 18. Still, I liked the Fit Me better than their Instant Age Eraser. In my mind, the right concealer is versatile enough to blend smoothly over your under-eye area without settling into fine lines. It should also cover up a pimple without clinging to any dry patches around it. Regardless of how much coverage it offers, I want it to blend seamlessly for a natural finish. A great concealer looks equally amazing as a thin layer that lets your skin show through, or when creating a blank canvas for makeup.Now that my skin tone and texture have evened out, I’m far more confident with my skin. I find myself searching for concealers that can blend well with my skin even on the increasingly frequent days where I don’t want to wear much makeup. Our first test used a red marker to simulate blemishes on my arm to test how well each concealer could cover them. Unfortunately, the dot was too bright to determine anything useful. Not every test is a success. We moved on to the next round. Start by applying any moisturizer or primer as a base before reaching for your pot concealer. It does not matter if you are using a foundation or not, a concealer works perfectly on its own. The best way to use a pot concealer is to apply it only where required. Overusing or applying it haphazardly all over your face can make your face look heavy or cakey.
