The most-trusted concealers for covering dark circles and tired eyes

Maybe it’s the fact that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley prioritised the development of this concealer over a traditional foundation when she first launched Rose Inc, but this stuff is high coverage. Seriously; a little goes a long way to cover even the darkest of under eye circles. The hydrating formula also contains squalane, vitamin E and colour-correcting botanicals, so this radiance-enhancing pick is basically doing double duty as a pigmented concealer and brightening eye cream.

Kosas’ inclusion exists on the opposite end of the coverage spectrum, offering a lightweight, natural and undetectable finish that blends seamlessly into the skin. Our top pick for the dewy skin-obsessed, this skin care-inspired formula contains brightening caffeine, soothing arnica, calming panthenol, plumping peptides and hydrating hyaluronic acid.

Intended for use on the runways of Paris, this impressive formula delivers high coverage, water-proof wear and a seamless, crease-proof blend that melts into skin. Infused with caffeine, this brightening concealer is perfect under the eyes, but it's also suited to covering everything from blemishes to redness.

If you were obsessed with the Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Foundation ($111 at Sephora), then you need to start slathering this concealer on your under-eyes stat. It’s got the same blurring finish as the foundation with the added bonus of anti-wrinkle technology. Plus, it has the ability to brighten the under-eyes and hide any pesky blemishes that are giving you trouble.

Technically a colour corrector, this pick isn’t going to give you a ton of coverage, but it’ll make up for it in its ability to completely brighten and correct dark circles. The lightweight formula is infused with white water lily and red spiderling flower extract to brighten and soothe. Luminous filler technology utilises micro powders to fill and smooth wrinkles and imperfections.

If you were in love with the OG Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector and subsequently broken hearted when it was discontinued, we have great news for you – it’s back. This collab between Becca and Smashbox contains the same peach and apricot tinted pigments to neutralise cooler tones under the eyes. Plus, brightening and illuminating backlight technology and nourishing vitamin E both make appearances too.

Inevitably no one does coverage quite like Tarte Shape Tape. Personally we prefer the ultra creamy concealer to the original as it’s a little more forgiving on drier skin types. Packed to the brim with skin-loving ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, prickly pear, ginseng, vegan squalane, mango butter, avocado butter, shea butter, raspberry ketone and meadowsweet) this high-coverage pick helps to hydrate, plump, minimise the appearance of dark circles and combat the signs of ageing.

Water-resistant and long-wearing, this concealer boasts buildable coverage with a matte finish, making it the perfect choice for your next big event. You can rely on the crease-free formula to smooth and minimise imperfections, fine lines, dark spots, and under-eye circles.
