For one small product, a concealer can make or break a make-up bag – choosing the right texture, nailing the shade and mastering application all contribute to creating a seamless complexion. Make-up artists rely on two core types of concealer in their kit – a thicker, denser cream for hiding imperfections and masking pimples, and a finer, illuminating formula for brightening shadows. However if you’re a minimal girl, living in a minimal world, the latest bevy of next-gen concealers wear multiple make-up hats at once and are well worth the investment.

The creamy primer at the core of DIOR Fix-It hydrates and preps to keep the concealer at the exterior from settling into pores and lines. For redness you can’t go past Nars’ new concealer, which is spiked with Vitamin E to calm, or NYX’s double ended stick, which lets you customise the perfect shade. If you battle under eye circles but still want the option to conceal a pimple, go for the hybrids from Guerlain, Laura Mercier, Lancôme and IT Cosmetics, which all balance brightening prowess with decent, buildable coverage. If shadows are your top concern however, Physician’s Formula features a roller ball applicator, which is cooling on contact.
