Blame it on the all-consuming spring allergies and the never-ending quest for more sleep, but ’tis the season to add a really good concealer to the mix. These seven new ones hit the mark, while providing some solid skin-care benefits.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Dark Spots Concealer + Serum ($46)
When my friend OMGBart tells me to use a product, it’s less of a suggestion and more of a command. His latest won’t-leave-me-alone-until-I-use-it-too item is IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Dark Spots Concealer + Serum. “This concealer checks all the boxes for me: It provides medium coverage with natural-looking finish and doesn’t crease all day,” he says. “Bonus points for the skin brightening ingredients—color correction but make it treatment.”

Catrice Under Eye Brightener ($6)
This super-hydrating, hyaluronic acid–packed light-pink concealer cream costs less than a large cold brew and does a serious number on hiding those stubborn dark-blue circles.

OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright+ Vitamin CC Stick ($34)
Featuring two forms of vitamin C and banana powder–inspired pigments, this easy-to-use pick is like a skin-care glow-stick that brightens, erases and just makes everything on your face you’d like to fix look better.

Almay Ageless Hydrating Concealer ($13)
Cue the “Smooth Operator” chords for this all-day wear concealer-meets-eye-cream that counts niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, electrolytes, and vitamins C and E in the magical mix.

Very Valentino 24 Hour Wear Hydrating Concealer ($35)
Run, don’t walk, to snag one of these luxe concealers during the Sephora VIB sale, which runs April 14–24. The long-lasting, lightweight feel covers everything—including blemishes—via vitamins, caffeine, and a touch of just-right luminosity.

Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer ($29)
Another Sephora sale-deal on the list: The newly-expanded 24-shade Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer that counts Julia Roberts a fan.

MAC Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over Face Pen ($35)
It’s a pen, it’s a foundation, it’s a concealer and it is perfection. Boating 33 shades, the new derm-tested MAC Studio Fix Every-Wear All-Over Face Pen brings is a “best-of-both-worlds formulation” that gives comfortable, long-lasting coverage the brand is known for.
