Even if it’s one of the most expensive, I would say that the best concealer for dark circles (acne scars) is Max Factor “Erace” stick. A very small amount of it in the corner of each eye, worked with a finger then brought gently under the eyes makes it lasting for the day and lasting for at least a year! The best makeup concealers work undercover without anyone noticing them. Some work better than others for certain things you may want to cover up, from redness and under-eye circles to pimples or scars. Each of these concealers has passed with high marks from the best makeup artists, beauty editors, and dermatologists in the business.

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and as the week picks up speed, the healthy glow from last weekend’s extended, long, languid afternoons, and candlelit nights has officially worn off. It’s practically universal law that by now, complexions could use a little well-timed pick-me-up. Luckily, a new generation of hard-working concealers, formulated with tired eyes and long nights in mind, is here to help. For a super-surge of hydration and plumped-up skin, pick up Too Faced’s coconut water–infused cover-up or Neutrogena’s latest creation boasting hyaluronic acid to banish dryness and camouflage discoloration. Those on the go would do well to pack Bobbi Brown’s Retouching Wand, capable of erasing with the click of a button. Meanwhile Giorgio Armani’s Compact Cream Concealer is sleek enough even for the most diminutive evening clutch. Here are nine next-generation formulas that do more than just cover up.
