## The top picks

- **Everyday natural coverage:** Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer. A lightweight liquid concealer with a translucent base that lets the skin's natural texture show through, and that Amazon's own summary calls buildable and crease-resistant.
- **Full coverage that lasts all day:** L'Oreal Paris Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Matte Concealer. A full-coverage, waterproof matte concealer with an extra-large applicator and 25 shades, which Allure names its best full-coverage drugstore concealer.
- **Hunting for a close shade:** L.A. Girl HD Pro Conceal. A creamy, buildable concealer in a squeeze tube with a built-in brush, which Allure picks for the widest shade range on its drugstore list, 48 shades.
- **Concealing and highlighting with one tube:** NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Contour Concealer. A creamy contouring concealer that the listing says conceals, brightens under the eyes and highlights, with full waterproof matte coverage for 24 hours.

Our top pick is the **[Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-1)**, a lightweight liquid with a translucent base that lets the skin's natural texture show through. We read 124 Amazon result cards for drugstore concealer, compared the pages of 10 finalists and kept four that do different jobs. Every pick is a drugstore brand.

The [L'Oreal Infallible Full Wear](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-2) is the full-coverage matte choice. The [L.A. Girl HD Pro Conceal](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-3) is the one to try when shade matching is your problem. The [NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-4) conceals and highlights in one tube. The best-known listing in the results is not a pick, because its review total is shared with a color corrector.

## How to choose a drugstore concealer

Allure and Who What Wear agree on a few basics. These are their words, not our test results.

- **Know the job first.** Allure's makeup artist says to know your goal before you shop, then work backwards. A no-makeup look suits a lighter, more radiant formula, while a thicker full-coverage formula does a different job.
- **Pick the coverage level.** Allure sorts its drugstore picks into light, medium and full coverage.
- **Match the formula to your skin.** Who What Wear's makeup artist goes matte when her skin is oily in summer and creamier and more hydrating when it is dry in winter.
- **Check the shade range.** Allure lists the shade count for every pick, from 10 to 48. Amazon's concealer pages open on one shade already chosen, so look at the shade list and the swatches before you order.
- **Press it in and set it.** Who What Wear says to press the concealer into skin with your fingertips to pick up excess product, then press in fine setting powder with a dry puff or sponge right away. That reduces creasing.
- **Use light layers.** Allure's makeup artist warns that too much product sinks into creases, and recommends tapping on thin layers and letting each one set.

## Our picks in detail

### 1. Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer: best for everyday natural coverage

**Why it made the list**

- The listing describes a translucent base with lightweight pigments that lets the skin's natural highs and lows show through.
- Amazon's own summary is positive on buildable coverage, blending with foundation and a crease-resistant formula that suits fair and oily skin.
- The listing says it conceals imperfections and under-eye circles.

**Drawbacks**

- Amazon's own summary is mixed on shade match and on how long it lasts.
- A critical snippet we read says the sponge tip is very small.

**Watch for this:** The page opens on one shade, and the same review total covers the whole shade range, so check your shade before you order.

**Skip it if** you want a matte, full-coverage finish, because this formula is built to let skin show through.

### 2. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Matte Concealer: best for full coverage

**Why it made the list**

- Allure names it the best full-coverage drugstore concealer and says it never creased or crumbled through a full day.
- The listing describes a waterproof matte formula with an extra-large applicator and 25 shades.
- Amazon's own summary is positive on coverage for dark circles and on blendability.

**Drawbacks**

- Amazon's own summary is mixed on texture, with some finding it cakey or drying.
- Amazon's own summary is mixed on shade match, with some finding it too dark.

**Watch for this:** Two listings carry the same product under the same name, so you can see it twice in the results. We counted it once.

**Skip it if** you have dry skin and want a dewy finish, because a critical snippet we read calls it quite dry.

### 3. L.A. Girl HD Pro Conceal: best for finding a close shade

**Why it made the list**

- Allure picks it for the widest shade range on its drugstore list, 48 shades, and calls the finish natural and crease-free.
- The listing describes creamy, buildable coverage in a squeeze tube with a built-in brush.

**Drawbacks**

- Amazon's own summary is negative on shade, with several finding a shade much darker than expected.
- A critical snippet we read says a shade named Light Ivory arrived bright orange.

**Watch for this:** A wide range does not guarantee an easy match. This line also sells separate color-corrector shades with their own listings, so check that you are buying a concealer shade.

**Skip it if** you cannot compare swatches first, because shade is where this concealer draws the most complaints.

### 4. NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Contour Concealer: best for concealing and highlighting

**Why it made the list**

**Drawbacks**

- Amazon's own summary is mixed on color match and on moisture, with some finding it very drying.
- A critical snippet we read calls it the weakest concealer from the brand that the writer has tried.

**Skip it if** your under-eyes run dry, because Amazon's summary is mixed on moisture and the finish is matte.

## What we left out, and why

Of the 124 cards we read, we read ten pages in full and kept four. Brushes, foundations, primers, powders and sponsored repeats were set aside first.

- **Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser.** It is the best-known concealer in the results, but its review total is shared with a green color-corrector shade of the same line, so its rating is not only for the concealer.
- **e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer.** It is already a pick in our [guide to concealers for mature skin](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-concealers-for-mature-skin/).
- **e.l.f. 16HR Camo Concealer and NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum.** Both are picks in our [guide to concealers for dark circles](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-concealer-for-dark-circles/), so they are not repeated here.
- **IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye.** It is a prestige brand, not a drugstore one, and it is also in the dark-circle guide.
- **wet n wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick.** It is a multi-use blush, highlight and contour stick, and Amazon's summary describes a blush and contour product.

## Questions people ask

### Which drugstore concealer has the most coverage?

Allure names the [L'Oreal Infallible](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-2) its best full-coverage drugstore concealer. The [NYX Can't Stop Won't Stop](https://twelvetabs.com/reviews/best-drugstore-concealer/#pick-4) also lists full matte coverage, in a creamier contouring formula.

### How do you stop drugstore concealer from creasing?

Who What Wear's makeup artist presses the concealer in with her fingertips so the warmth works it into skin and picks up the excess. She then presses fine setting powder over it with a dry puff or sponge straight away. Starting with a primer and finishing with a setting spray adds staying power.

### Should concealer be a shade lighter than your skin?
