Closer - best under eye concealers
creaseless concealer
Hydrating, vegan and full coverage. It's basically everything we need in a concealer, and it comes in a great shade range too. Reviews say it "just melts into your face" and "gives you a glow".
LOreal Infallible Longwear More Than Concealer
The Infallible concealer has rave reviews and it does not disappoint. A long-wearing matte finish makes this product perfect for people on-the-go and reviews say the doe foot applicator is magic for quick application.
e.l.f. Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer
One of the more budget-friendly options, this concealer has an ultra-light consistency and keeps under-eyes hydrated instead of cake-y. The shade range is pretty good and reviews say the coverage is full enough to hide dark circles.
Max Factor Mastertouch Concealer
Another wallet-pleasing product, this Max Factor concealer is often hailed a super-creamy dupe for NARS. Reviews say this concealer "doesn't irritate or dry out blemishes", making it perfect for problem skin.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat
Long-hailed a classic, Yves Saint Laurent is possibly the classiest concealer out there. Gorgeous packaging and perfect for that oh-so-French barely there look.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
This concealer is gorgeously creamy and an absolute dream to apply. A little goes a long way, making it worth the hefty price tag.
Benefit Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer
Described as a 'real life re-touch', this concealer from Benefit comes in this handy little pot and is super long lasting. Reviews say it feels "light in skin" and is "very forgiving".
Maybelline Instant Conceal Eraser Concealer
An iconic concealer, the Maybelline Anti-Age Concealer is a firm fan favourite. You get a lot of pigment for your money with this one, and the unique applicator makes for zero creases.
Bobbi Brown Corrector
This little gem from Bobbi Brown is great for bags because it colour corrects the blue tones as well as providing full coverage. Hangover? Us? Noo.
Milk Make-up Flex Concealer
If you're after a cruelty-free option then this dreamy light concealer is a great option. No cracking or creasing here and the reviews say it's "great for concealing blemishes" too.
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
Don't be fooled by the price, this is one powerful little concealer and will forever be in our favourites. It's creamy, highly pigmented and provides full coverage without cake. The only downside is the limited shade range.
It Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye
It Cosmetics have created something of a cult with their super powerful skin products. This one covers even the most wine-filled night with the dab of a ring finger.

How to apply under eye concealer the right way
- Apply your foundation first - it might seem alien to some of you, but it's a make-up artist approved tip provides the perfect base for your concealer
- Pat on your concealer instead or swiping or smearing it. This will keep your concealer from caking or creasing in those pesky fine lines
- Draw a triangular shape. Instead of swiping a curved shape under your eye, try drawing an inverted triangle, with the base at your eye, to brighten up your entire face.
- Prime your eyelids. Did you know you can prime your eyelids ready for eyeshadow with concealer? Give it a go next time you're doing your make-up routine
- Find a peachy tone. Peachy or orange toned concealers cancel out the blue tone of under eye bags, so try to find one with a peachy undertone when you're looking at shades
