Best Drugstore Concealer: Not heavy, cakey, lasts all day full coverage!
19
items A dependable concealer (and color corrector) does NOT need to be expensive. I've gone through my entire collection to bring you my favorites. These formulas have super creamy, buildable full coverage that lasts all day. I like all of them with a brus...

Color Correcting Concealers
Concealer
These are my favorite, standard concealers. I use them to highlight and sculpt the under eye and outer corner as well as on the nose/center of the face. These all have builddable full coverage without being heavy or cakey. I don't believe in ‘no-crea...
This is a famous drugstore concealer for a good reason. The doe foot is tiny and it is so creamy and brightening for all day wear. It comes in a super light shade too!
Fit Me® Oil-Free Concealer Face Makeup
Many believe this is one of the best drugstore concealers ever released and it has not been dethroned. I'm not bothered by the puff ball applicator. Everything is right with the formula.
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer
You don't need a lot of this because a little goes a long way. The doe foot is massive because they are trying to dupe high end. I can't stand the original Camo formula it's too dry. This one has the best natural finish.
Hydrating Camo Concealer
The bargain basement of drugstore concealer and it's perfect. I do think it's being discontinued though.
Photo Focus™ Concealer | Light Ivory
I don't see a whole lot of difference between this and the photo focus. It's a good dependable option for daily wear and even special occasions.
Mega Last Incognito All-Day Full Coverage Concealer | Fair Beige
This is my go-to for special occasions. I love the brightening creamy full coverage and natural finish. It is skin like.
Age Perfect Radiant Concealer for mature women - L'Oréal Paris
This is a bit more lightweight than their other formulas but still very pretty on the skin.
Super Stay® Longwear Liquid Concealer Up To 30Hr Wear
The squeeze tube with brush packaging is so easy to use to really paint on the skin. With this one people love buying a variety of shades to use as contour too because the formula is so good!
HD Pro.Conceal
This has a lightweight formula that gives you a fresh and healthy finish and glow. Also a great pairing with their foundation.
Butter Glow Concealer | Fair-to-Light
This is my current every day concealer that I'm trying to empty. Honestly, it's the perfect basic concealer and I feel glam every day. We don't talk about it enough.
BE BRIGHT LIQUID CONCEALER
This is not full coverage but I still want to include it. It's the only pen concealer that I've tried that doesn't run out of product in a month or 2. It's perfect if you want a light makeup look or the “clean girl” no makeup look. I was trying to em...
Flawless Brightening Skin Concealer
When I first tried this concealer I didn't like it and put it in my donate bin. I decided to give it a second chance. I'm glad that I did! I find that it doesn't look good on the skin when applied with a sponge. It needs a brush. I love the brighteni...
Concealer
If you're looking for a stick I like wet n wild's for being creamy. The cons are that the shade range is not good and it is chunky - not the best for detail work. This is probably better for a matte highlight and contour situation.
wet n wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick, Buildable
This one is more like a tinted serum concealer in a squeeze tube and man does it have more coverage than you might expect! It contains hyaluronic acid and makes the best pairing with their skin tint foundation.
L'Oreal Paris True Match Eye Cream Concealer
Color Correcting Concealers
On this topic I'm also giving color correcting concealers. They are not full coverage per se because they should not be. I like these formulas to prep the skin for makeup but a few you can wear on their own.
As a fair skin girlie my go-tos are peach and green, but they have other shades to suit your skin tone and concerns. Their green has the right amount of coverage so it causes me to not really reach for the others that I have. I dab it on acne. The pe...
Camo Color Corrector Concealer
LA Girl has a good range of color correcting options in their iconic formula.
HD Pro.Conceal
Out of this line the peach is my #1 go to, even over their Camo Color Corrector. I blend it onto my under eye darkness with a brush or my fingers. It may look like it won't layer well with your makeup but it's flawless. The reason why I favor it is t...
Putty Color-Correcting Under Eye Brightener
PF's concealer is more buttery (of course) in that the coverage is lighter. It's not really my go to for that reason but you might like that especially if you want to color correct but not apply makeup after.
Butter Glow Corrector | Green
I don't reach for these much because of the odd color selection but they have their purpose. The green is totally good. I only use the white to lighten foundation and concealer almost like a color corrector. Perfect creamy coverage.
Photo Focus Care Color Corrector | White
