These products are too good to keep hidden.

With so many products on the market that all promise to keep blemishes out of sight, it can become harder to find a reliable, trusted one that actually delivers.

But never fear, it’s time to keep imperfections at bay, with the Fashion Quarterly Team’s picks for the best concealer products out there on the market.

Scroll for our favourites below:


“I’m a cliche and a total Glossier stan. The concealer is probably my second favourite of their products (#1: Boy Brow), and I like how you barely notice it. I wear ‘light’, but I’m pleased that they recently expanded their offering to 12 shades.” – Zoe Walker-Ahwa, editor

Shop: Glossier Stretch Concealer, USD $18


“This really does what it says it does – a small drop of this concealer blended into imperfections and blemishes goes a long way, powers through the elements and lasts ALL DAY. Seriously, it’s extreme.” – Kelly McAuliffe, digital editor

Shop: Estee Lauder Double Wear Waterproof All Day Extreme Wear Concealer, $56


“This guy is GREAT for covering up zits because it goes on nice and waxy and doesn’t slide off. I wouldn’t apply it under the eyes as it’s quite thick, but boy does she cover a spot.” – Lucy Slight, features director.

Shop: MAC Studio Finish Concealer Duo, $64

“This is technically a highlighter but I apply it under my eyes, pre-foundation when I feel like I need to give myself a lift. It’s my secret weapon for a big night out, or when I’m on back-to-back Fashion Quarterly deadlines!” – Jessica-Belle Greer, features editor

Shop: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, $69


“Looking for a super blendable and creamy concealer that you can always count on? Look no further than Tarte Shape Tape. This is a full coverage concealer that works wonders in covering up unwanted spots (say buh-bye to acne scars) and it’s got a matte finish on it which I really LOVE.” – Maxine Fourie, digital content producer

Shop: Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer, $43
