Trust Me: These Are the Best Under-Eye Concealers to Help Disguise Dark Circles

Easily my most-used concealer ever, this tiny pot is pure magic. I simply dab it across my under-eyes with my ring finger, and in a matter of seconds, any trace of a dark circle has disappeared.

This is commonly regarded as one of the best under-eye concealers on the market, and yes, you read that price right. It’s creamy, easy to blend and relatively long-lasting. I urge you to give this a go. For £5, what do you have to lose?

If you like your under-eye concealer to have some real staying power, this stuff could be the one for you. Although dubbed a corrector, unlike other under-eye correctors, this stuff can work on its own as a concealer. Work it into the skin with your ring finger for one of the fullest coverages you’ve ever set your eyes upon.

For days when I’m feeling a little shinier than I’d like, I reach for this matte-finish liquid. A little goes a long way, so one or two dots under each eye is usually sufficient. It’s full coverage and matte but also remarkably natural-looking.

For a concealer that packs a punch, look no further. Perfect for nights out or days where you might need your coverage to stick around for a little longer, this liquid concealer really stays put. It has a slightly silky, powder-like finish that refuses to settle in fine lines.

Concealer fans, you should know all about this one. This concealer duo has a devoted following of beauty editors and makeup artists that rave about its dark circle–erasing abilities. Housing two shades for unique colour matching and correction, this compact holds the secret to seamless coverage that sticks around all day and night.

While Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer might be the most highly praised of its offering, that’s not to say that the brand’s other creations aren’t wonderful in their own right. For days where you fancy applying a little less makeup, this liquid formula is a winner. It sticks around, sure, but the coverage leans towards the more medium side of full, making it the ultimate no-makeup-makeup concealer.

If you have been using YSL’s famous Touche Éclat as an under-eye concealer for the last however many years, you’ve got it all wrong. When the brand discovered that the majority of Touche Éclat fans were incorrectly using the lightweight brightener as an under-eye concealer, they knew something had to be done. Ever as illuminating but with more coverage, this concealer was the answer.

For those of us that suffer from dry under-eyes, finding a concealer that doesn’t worsen the situation can be difficult. This formula, however, contains a super-hydrating combination of goji berry and haloxyl to help your dark circles at a deeper level. If you ask me, it’s one of the best under-eye products out there, and it’s super friendly on the bank account, too.

Again, if you like a slightly more natural finish to your makeup look, you’ll want to know about Glossier Stretch Concealer. I love this stuff on no-foundation days when I only want a little bit of coverage where I need it. (Usually, this is just on my under-eye area and over the odd spot.) It’s glowy, easy to blend and really buildable.

I like to think of this concealer as the luxury version of Maybelline’s Eraser Eye. Besides the fact it uses a very similar sponge applicator (I like it, but I’m not mad on the hygiene aspect of it), the formula is also similar. It’s lightweight, glowy and mega hydrating, but it’s the wonderful sheeny finish that you won’t find elsewhere that I love so much.

I think one of my first ever makeup products was a stick concealer, and this little guy proves that formulas have come a very long way since. It’s wonderfully creamy and hydrating, making it an absolute dream to work in and blend. I recommend it to everyone I know.

Perfect for those looking for a formula that works to improve skin texture, this liquid take on Benefit’s classic Boi-ing leaves skin looking almost impossibly smooth. Plus, it does a really good job at sorting out any discolouration, too.

Besides the fact that this concealer has an amazing, full-coverage, brightening finish, what is most impressive is its overwhelming shade offering. With 50 shades to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find the one for you.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that this concealer isn’t heavy duty just because it comes as a liquid. One tiny drop goes an impressively long way. It’s thick and needs a bit of elbow grease to blend, but as soon as you get there, it’s quite magical.

This easy-to-use, natural-looking concealer has an array of celebrity super fans from Miranda Kerr to Emma Watson. It's creamy texture and skin-like finish make it the perfect dark-circle disguise.

For days when your dark circles really need a helping hand, reach for this. Full coverage yet blendable and seriously heavy duty, the smallest amount will have your dark circles covered all day long.

For days when I can’t be bothered with foundation, this concealer is my go-to. It leaves such a perfect second-skin finish that I pretty much end up applying it all over. But the reason it shines brightest? It makes covering up dark circles a total breeze.

With a botanical blend, it's creamy and hydrating, yet long-lasting and sweat-resistant. It’s full enough coverage to disguise dark circles but sheeny enough to leave skin looking natural.

With a super-precise doe-foot applicator and a seriously full-coverage formula, this concealer is potentially one of the best at actually concealing that I have ever tried. I challenge anyone to use it and not fall in love. 

An amalgamation of an eye serum and a concealer, this stuff from Trinny London is impressively hydrating. It leaves under-eye skin plump and radiant and dark circles suitably disguised. 

At this point, I don't think Vieve can put a foot wrong in the beauty game. Available in 20 shades that'll banish dark circles and hyperpigmentation, this hydrating liquid formula is here to help you cheat a full nights sleep. 

Perfect for those looking for a breathable formula that conceals while working to improve skin texture. I love recommending this to anyone who fancies themselves a concealer over a foundation, especially as the sizeable tube makes ensure this goes a long way.

Since it's specifically designed to be applied under the eyes, this concealer has a light, creamy texture, which never feels heavy — nor does it settle into fine lines.
