6 Drugstore Concealers That We Keep Coming Back To

In an ideal world, a good night’s sleep and cleansing your face would be enough to prevent dark circles and breakouts. Sadly, this is not always the case. While we’re certainly not suggesting that your diligent sleep schedule and skin care routine are useless, we do understand that some extra help from a concealer is often, if not always, essential. 

So, with the help of our members (who have taken to our bh forums to discuss the best drugstore concealers available), we’ve compiled a list of the most natural, hydrating, and illuminating concealers available at your local Priceline or Chemist Warehouse.

2024’s Top 3 Drugstore Concealers

  1. Maybelline New York FITme Concealer, $19.99, Priceline
  2. L’Oréal Paris True Match Concealer, $22.99, Adore Beauty
  3. NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum, $26.95, Adore Beauty

Maybelline New York FITme Concealer

From $19.99 at Priceline

We say: As the winner of not one, not two, but four Best In Beauty awards, Maybelline created this concealer as a follow-up to their bestselling FITme! Liquid Foundation. Just like the foundation’s formula, this concealer delivers a breathable, flawless and oil-free finish.

You say: “The formula is so light weight and coverage is top notch. No creasing and another plus is that it can act as a tinted moisturiser when mixing it with your favourite everyday cream for a minimalist day.” – ElleKay

L’Oréal Paris True Match Concealer

From $22.99 at Adore Beauty

We say: Yet again, this concealer proves that high quality does not have to be expensive. L’Oréal Paris True Match Concealer offers a creamy finish that brightens purple under-eye tones and all but erases redness and breakouts.

As bh’s Sezzie33 pointed out, this formula blends seamlessly when it is applied alongside the Manicare Complexion Sponge ($13.50 at Manicare): “[it] has the perfect angle to get into the crevices of the eyes.”

You say: “This concealer is a great everyday product. It has a light texture and blends very easily whilst providing enough coverage to hide dark circles and redness.” – Ray
