At a certain age (and beyond), our skin needs more hydration—and not just from skin care products, but makeup too. A moisture-rich concealer that complements mature skin is an absolute essential. But how do you choose the right one? First, look for nourishing ingredients like glycerin, ceramides or hyaluronic acid. Then, opt for a creamy or serum-like texture that's designed to build seamlessly, so you can keep product light in certain areas and heavier where you need more coverage without worrying about caking. Also important: the finish. Radiant and natural finish concealers suit mature skin better because they aren't as drying as a matte finish which can crease and emphasize wrinkles. (Pro tip: “Test concealer on your inner wrist to see how it will—or won’t—settle into fine lines,” says celebrity makeup artist Sean Harris.)
Below, we rounded up the best of the best in concealers that care and provide cover for aging skin.
