Concealers are perhaps one of the most indispensable beauty products in our handbags. Whether you’ve had a late night (read: puffy, dark eye circles), or an angry red zit you’d like to hide, one quick swipe and they’ve got you covered—literally.
But we’re all too familiar with this little island’s sweltering weather which can pose a threat to makeup looking fresh and radiant without sliding or fading. Which is why the best concealers are the ones that not only blend seamlessly into the skin, but also have long-lasting wear.
Enter these lightweight, yet long-lasting concealers. Whatever the problem area you’d like to conceal is, these products will do all the work for you.

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.
Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Precision Concealer, $6.50

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 Boi-ing Airbrush Concealer, $35

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.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles, $19.90

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.
MAC Pro Longwear Concealer, $39

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.

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.
Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, $105

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.
