Her World Beauty Awards 2020: Best concealers and primers

Best concealer for blemishes: Hera Black Concealer - Dot Cover, $45

1/8

Department/Specialty Store - Editor's Choice
It goes on light but is buildable to high coverage. It covers dark spots and blemishes and gives a natural finish that holds up even on oily skin.

Best concealer for blemishes: Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, $46

2/8

Department/Specialty Store - Editor's Choice
The formula is indeed creamy but it’s easy to blend into skin, providing medium coverage to dark circles. The simple doe-foot applicator helps a lot.

Best concealer for coverage: Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer, $46

3/8

Department/Specialty Store - Editor's Choice
Your makeup app skills may be improving, but you’ll be using less of the blur function with this blendable, full-coverage concealer. With a creamy formula and satin finish, it conceals redness, dark circles, brown spots, and green/purple veins.

Best concealer: Milani Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer, $19.50

4/8

Drugstore - Editor's Choice
We needed only one layer of this concealer to hide to flaws and blemishes like zits, freckles and old acne scars. It gives high coverage and has a creamy formula that blends nicely into skin and doesn’t feel heavy. Testers found it fuss-free and easy to use.

Best concealer: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer, $21.90

5/8

Drugstore - Readers' Choice
We went an entire day without touch-ups – a testament to its long-wearing powers. It leaves a matte finish and blends well with foundation.

Best makeup primer - mattifying: Shiseido Waso Poreless Matte Primer, $39

6/8

Department/Specialty Store - Editor's Choice
This primer gives skin an instant matte finish without leaving it dry. The face feels hydrated and not greasy.

Best makeup primer - mattifying: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Primer+ Oil-free, $62

7/8

Department/Specialty Store - Readers' Choice
A little goes a very long way with this makeup primer. Simply dab a few small drops over the face. It absorbs quickly and dries to a moisturising finish.

Best makeup primer - radiance: Chanel Le Blanc La Base, $90

8/8

Department/Specialty Store - Editor's Choice & Readers' Choice
It has a peachy pink tone that gives a natural colour-correcting effect – even greenish veins appear less obvious. It leaves a dewy finish that can be seen through matte foundation.
