Whether the goal is to blur fine lines, improve skin texture, disguise the appearance of dark circles or simply create the illusion of a full eight hours sleep, finding the right concealer gets a little more difficult if you're also dealing with dry under-eye skin. The area already moves a lot, so folks with dry skin (or mature skin, in perimenopause, menopause or post-menopause) may experience looser, crepey and more delicate texture around the eyes that exacerbates the look of wrinkles and can cause concealer to patch, clump and crease. Luckily, hydrating concealers exist—if you know where to look. With so many options—all with different ingredients, textures, coverage types and finishes—we combed through shoppers' fervent reviews on which formulas really keep dry under-eyes hydrated and smooth while also brightening and concealing redness and dark circles.
