Great concealers on a budget? Totally possible!
Drugstore brands are really stepping up their games when it comes to quality makeup, especially concealers!
Once upon a time, I was firmly in the camp of people who believed that you had to shop high-end in order to snag a concealer that ticked off all the boxes. Concealers that simultaneously provided great coverage without looking cakey or creasing, and that didn’t dry out your sensitive under-eye area were almost impossible to find.
But that’s not the case anymore! These days, whether you have dry skin or oily skin, and regardless of what style and coverage you want, the drugstore has a concealer solution for you.
These drugstore concealers represent the best of the best, (at least for now!)
Let’s get to it!
For OILY Skin
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser — Amazing coverage for covering serious dark circles without looking cakey or dry. [Amazon] [Ulta]
Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer — Long lasting sheerer coverage that’s great for brightening, or concealing less intense under-eye darkness. [Amazon] [Ulta]
NYX Cosmetics HD Concealer Wand — Soft matte finish with medium coverage, great for everyday wear. Plus, there are tons of colors to choose from! [Amazon] [Ulta]
Revlon Photoready Concealer — No need to fear super dry stick concealers- this one is quite creamy. It’s awesome for concealing little spots on the go and it doesn’t go anywhere once it’s set. [Amazon] [Ulta]

For ACNE Coverage ( & other imperfections)

Everybody talks about the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind like it is a miracle, but for me it was just okay. Not bad, but not amazing.
My favorite is concealer is the Covergirl and Olay concealer that comes in the little pot. It covers so well and it makes my undereye area look moisturized not crackly.

I loved that one too, but I haven’t seen it in a while. It drives me nuts when great products are discontinued; I sure hope it isn’t. Thanks so much for reading 🙂 xo
Great post, I love so many of these concealers! The Elf concealer is my absolute favorite. I think a lot of people would think it would suck because it’s Elf, but it’s actually really amazing!

I completely agree, Cara! E.l.f. HD Lifting concealer is one of my favorites too, and that even surprised me! Thanks for reading 🙂 xo
