We all know that concealers are meant to hide imperfections. Depending on what you want to cover, different types of concealers will be the most effective:

• To conceal dark circles under your eyes, you need a lightweight concealer that won't settle into fine lines. For even better results, go for a concealer with light-reflecting pigments – it will brighten up your under-eye area and make you look more awake.

• If you want to hide spots and other blemishes, a creamy concealer with colour-correcting properties will do the trick. Always dab the concealer onto the affected area instead of dragging it with your fingers or a brush.

When it comes to picking the perfect concealer, the texture matters a lot. There are 2 main types of concealers you should know about:

• Liquid concealers come in a vial with an applicator in the lid. These are super popular and easy to use, with a slightly thinner consistency that blends effortlessly.

• Creamy concealers come in a tube or jar. These have a thicker texture than their liquid counterparts, making them perfect for covering up more stubborn blemishes.
