AI picks by need
For budget under-eye
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser (line)
Its sponge applicator and light, brightening formula make under-eye concealing quick and easy.
Not for: Covering blemishes or heavy discoloration.
For full coverage, oily skin
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer (line)
It gives very high coverage with a matte, long-wearing finish.
Not for: Dry or textured under-eyes, where it can crease and emphasize lines.
For dark circles (neutralizing)
Bobbi Brown Corrector (line)
A peach or bisque corrector under concealer cancels blue and purple tones that concealer alone turns grey.
Not for: People without noticeable dark circles. It adds a step they do not need.
What the AI looks for in Concealers & Neutralizing Makeup
- Shade logic
- Under-eyes: one to two shades lighter than your skin. Blemishes: an exact skin match. A lighter shade on spots highlights them instead of hiding them.
- Corrector color
- Green for redness. Peach or salmon for blue or purple circles on light to medium skin. Orange or red for deeper skin. Opposite colors cancel discoloration before concealer goes on.
- Finish for the area
- Use creamy or radiant formulas under the eyes and drier, matte formulas on blemishes. Matte formulas crease in fine lines, and dewy ones slide off spots.
Brands that matter
- NARS: Benchmark radiant concealer.
- Tarte: High-coverage matte concealer.
- Maybelline: Strong drugstore under-eye options.
- Bobbi Brown: Known for color correctors.
- Too Faced: Long-wear concealers.
What to avoid
- Very matte full-coverage formulas on dry or mature under-eyes
- Using a corrector shade with no concealer on top
