Best concealer for blemishes
- Full coverage
- Blends to a custom shade
- Conceals blemishes well
- Long-wearing formulation
- Requires skill to blend properly
- Tends to cake up under the eyes
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage is well known and well liked by professional reviewers as well as consumers as the best concealer for covering blemishes, dark spots or small scars. The thick formula comes in a compact with two shades: one yellow-based and one taupe. The shades can be blended together to find the perfect match for your skin. Reviewers say that the formula is very opaque, providing full coverage for the most noticeable imperfections. Users say that it conceals everything from blemishes and scars to broken capillaries and rosacea, and that it lasts all day. Many don't recommend it for use under the eyes, however, because it is dry and can appear too thick and cakey on delicate undereye skin. If you have dark circles, you may prefer a lightweight concealer such as the highly rated Cle de Peau Beaute Concealer (*Est. $70). Secret Camouflage concealer is available in seven shade combinations.
