Few makeup products need to work harder than concealer. Designed to cover a multitude of issues (from dark circles and redness to pigmentation and acne), a concealer needs to be both lightweight and pigmented. The goal is coverage that doesn’t cake; a finish that feels (and looks) like skin. Thankfully, technology is on our side, and the start of the year has seen a stack of new concealers launch that deliver the above in spades. Below, we round up our favorites for covering dark circles to blemishes and beyond.

The generously-sized flocked applicator makes it great for contouring and highlighting areas of the face – just apply and blend with the brand’s signature makeup sponge. Available in 40 shades, there’s an option for every skin depth and undertone as well.
