A good man is hard to find, but a concealer is even harder. Thankfully, we have some pretty savvy interns that know what works and what doesn’t!

1. MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish SPF 35 Concealer ($18)

This is the concealer I use everyday of my life and it is amazing! The variety of shades with MAC is so wonderful that any woman can find her perfect match, and their concealer is no exception. enriched with anti oxidants, this long-wear SPF concealer is very lightweight and creamy, but also very concentrated, so a little amount goes a long way. Plus, you can use this product for many different things, including highlighting under your eyebrows and making your eyebrows look super defined.


2.
Nars Concealer ($24)

If you ever used a Nars product you know that this concealer will not disappoint you. Lightweight, creamy, long-wearing, and crease-resistant, this rich formula nourishes your skin while making it look flawless— what else can do that? It’s seriously amazing.

3. Too Faced Absolutely Flawless Concealer ($20)

A must for ladies with paler skin, this creamy long-lasting product gives you the power to create sheer-to-full coverage (a big benefit that most concealers don’t offer). Just a dab of this stuff covers redness and hyper pigmentation— I have several friends who are obsessed with this product and it makes their skin look amazing.

4. Amazing Cosmetics Little Amazing Concealer ($28)

As you might have guessed, you only need a tiny bit of this full coverage concealer to create a flawless complexion, covering up everything from dark circles, blemishes, to sun damage, you need to apply very little product.

5. Bellapierre Cosmetics Makeup Base ($18.99)

This multi-purpose product was featured in our March boxes and was a hit for good reasons! Great for ladies who are afraid of using traditional concealers, it covers blemishes with just a dab of its very creamy texture. It’s perfect for ladies who want to have everything they need on hand, but refuse to keep their entire makeup arsenal in their purse.
