10 best long-wear concealers that will stay put all day

A top favourite among professional makeup artists, this non-drying concealer offers buildable coverage and has a radiant finish. Thanks to its second-skin texture, it adheres onto skin beautifully and doesn’t sink into pores or lines, making it perfect for dark spots, scars, blemishes and under eye circles. 

Ideal for hiding bumpiness and unexpected breakouts, this concealer comes equipped with a tiny brush for precise application. The ultra-fluid texture makes it easy for foolproof blending and is pigment packed so a little goes a long way. Once set with powder, you can be assured it wouldn’t budge and smudge for hours on end.

Benefit’s got a great range of concealers to choose from, but to brighten dark circles and mask puffiness, go with the Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer. Featuring medium coverage with a soft-focus finish, this creamy concealer illuminates shadows around the eye contour area. Its creamy texture is great for the dryness-prone eye area as it doesn’t crease or sink into fine lines—dab any leftover product on your fingers on your eyelids as it makes for a great eyeshadow primer as well.

As its name suggests, this is a fan favourite in diminishing dark circles and fine lines. Enriched with goji berry extract and Haloxyl, this potent combination plumps wrinkles, brightens the eye area instantly and stays put all day long. We also love the sponge applicator which makes application and blending a breeze.

One of the most long-lasting formulas available in the market, this trusty concealer stays put through photo shoots and weddings—no wonder professional makeup artists always keep a few of these in their kits. Promising up to 15 hours’ wear, this full coverage concealer settles into a soft matte finish and is perfect for using it on its own or layering with other base products. Transfer-resistant and water-resistant, its lightweight texture is also dermatologist-tested and opthamologist-tested, ensuring that it’s safe to use on the delicate eye area and on all skin types. Bonus points goes to the plump dispenser, which also minimises product contamination.

Why rely on retouching apps when you can count on this pigment-packed concealer to do the job? Thanks to its new HD technology, this lightweight concealer masks imperfections, doesn’t crease into lines and lasts for hours so you can put your best face forward in selfies and in person.

When it comes to hiding imperfections, this concealer means business. From hyperpigmentation, discolouration, blemishes, scars to even tattoos, just a tiny bead of its creamy texture instantly hides them all. Made with a blend of Plastic Polymers and Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder, it ensures even application, regulate sebum production and forms a water-resistant veil which resists humidity for round-the-clock wear. It even contains soothing ingredients to calm redness—a plus for sensitive skin.

This is the undisputed Rolls Royce of concealers—there I said it. Every bit deserving of its cult status, this high coverage, long-lasting and ultra-blendable formula has been one of the brand’s best-sellers since it was launched. And just when we all thought it couldn’t get better, this iconic product was given an update earlier this year. The result? A virtually weightless texture that glides over skin while promising full coverage, SPF 25 PA+++ protection and antioxidant properties.

Its name pretty much says it all. This concealer promises to stay in place, and it really does. It’s multi-purpose, which means you can use this for anything from redness, under-eye circles, and lighter blemishes, all masterfully hidden for up to 15 hours, given its water, perspiration and humidity-resistant formula.

In a nifty stick format, this waterproof, full coverage concealer hides blemishes, dark circles, pigmentation and redness. Amazonian Clay, one of the brand’s signature ingredients, help ensure longer, truer wear, while antioxidants and hyaluronic acid helps soothe skin and lock in moisture. Its oil-free formula is also dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for all skin types, even those who are prone to blemishes and sensitivity.
