How do they do it? How do our favorite celebrities seem to look so effortless all the time? It seems like on and off the carpet models such as Bella Hadid or Kendall Jenner always look prepped, primed and ready for anything, even the occasional ‘unflattering paparazzi flick. Turns out it’s not even really a secret they’ve been keeping from us but it’s just a really good concealer. We’ve rounded up a few of the best concealers that celebs swear by.
Our first concealer is the Touche Eclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen from Yves Saint Laurent. This concealer pen is great because it's super convenient due to its size and any makeup enthusiast with any level of experience can use it to achieve flawless coverage. Use this concealer to brighten, conceal and hide any blemishes or dark circles. Apply to the bridge of your nose, corners of the mouth, under the eyes and any other area you desire to smooth and illuminate. Zoe Kravitz is one of our “it-girl” celebrity crushes and she swears by this product. Let’s face it, the girl is stunning and who wouldn’t want that lit-from-within glow that she has all the time? This YSL essential comes in fourteen different shades so you’re sure to find the perfect shade or two to match your skin.
Next, we have another highly recommended concealer, this time from another one of our favorite it-girls, Bella Hadid. The supermodel is known for her effortless no-makeup, makeup look. How does she do it? The Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer may have a little something to do with that. Coming in twenty-eight different shades this concealer is great at giving buildable coverage. Using the applicator to apply the formula exactly where you want to brighten such as under eye circles, makeup artists suggest choosing a shade 2-3 shades lighter to achieve that bright and fresh look we all know you desire. The consistency of this product is very creamy, so a lot goes a long way and the best part? 24-hour coverage. This product will last you a long time, not only on your skin but it will be a while before you’re heading back to Nordstrom Online to purchase another bottle.
The Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer has long been known as a concealer staple for stars such as Zendaya and Sarah Hyland so it is more than deserving of a mention on this list. Why is it so popular? Well, it's reliable and consistent in its creamy formula. Makeup artists love this concealer because it's easy to use, buildable and it works great for dry to normal skin. Makeup artists recommend applying with your fingers in the areas you want to conceal by warming the product by using your fingertips and then applying. Use alone or set with a finishing product. Sounds easy enough for us!
Celebrities such as Lupita Nyong’o love this next concealer. The Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage concealer comes with two shades in this palette to ensure the perfect coverage. This product is said to provide undetectable coverage by giving you two shades in one for guaranteed coverage. Customize your palette in eight different ways and begin by creating your perfect blend on the back of your hand using the two shades. Mix together and apply and voila, you have a unique blend of concealer that’s perfect for your skin. This product is great for all skin types, just remember to start with the lighter color first and then add in the darker shade, then you can leave it alone or set with your favorite setting powder. So, we guess the celebs best kept ‘secret’ isn’t so much of a secret after all. Which one of these concealers is your new favorite? Let us know if we missed anything that deserves to be on this list. Happy concealing!
