Concealer: Best Products for Flawless, Long-Lasting Coverage

Concealer is a secret beauty weapon that can help you look wide-awake though you only had three hours of sleep. Moreover, concealers play a big role in the makeup world because it helps cover up any blemishes, scars and dark circles. However, picking the right product can be a nightmare with so many options available.

The Beauty Insider Malaysia team has tested hundreds of concealers in Malaysia to find the ones that are actually worth it. After tallying up, below we present the best ones you can find in Malaysia that can hide everything from blemishes to under-eye circles!

What Is the Difference Between Liquid, Cream, and Stick Concealers?

Liquid, cream, and stick concealers differ in texture, coverage, and ideal use.

• Liquid: Lightweight and versatile. It’s great for under the eyes and for layering without looking heavy, making it best for normal to oily skin.
• Cream: Offers richer coverage and a thicker texture. It’s ideal for covering blemishes, redness, or areas needing more correction, making it best for normal to dry skin.
• Stick: The thickest and most pigmented. It gives high coverage for spots or scars but can be too heavy under the eyes. It’s great for quick touch-ups.

How to Effectively Apply Concealer?

Concealer is a cosmetic superhero that steps in to save the day, masking blemishes, evening out skin tone, and brightening the under-eye area. However, its effectiveness is significantly enhanced when applied correctly.

Here are some handy tips to make the most out of your concealer:

1. Prep Your Skin

Start with a clean slate by washing your face and applying moisturiser. A well-moisturised face provides a smooth canvas for the concealer, preventing it from appearing cakey or flaky. If you have oily skin, a mattifying primer can be your best friend, helping to keep the concealer in place throughout the day.

2. Choose the Right Shade

Selecting the right shade of concealer is crucial for achieving a natural look. For covering blemishes and redness, choose a concealer that matches your skin tone perfectly. On the other hand, to combat dark circles or spots, a shade lighter than your foundation could be more effective.

3. Application

The tools you use for application can make a significant difference. Whether you use a clean finger, a makeup sponge, or a concealer brush, the key is to dab the concealer onto the area gently rather than dragging it. For a brightening effect, apply the concealer in a triangular shape under your eyes. The base of the triangle should be along your lower lash line, and the point should aim towards your cheek.

4. Blend, Blend, Blend

The art of blending is essential for a natural look. Gently blend the concealer into your skin to avoid any visible edges. For the under-eye area, blend it outwards and downwards. The goal is to achieve a seamless finish that melds flawlessly with your skin.

5. Set Your Concealer

Once you are satisfied, set your concealer with a light dusting of translucent powder. This step helps to prevent the concealer from creasing or settling into fine lines, keeping your look fresh. If you have dry skin, you might prefer to use a hydrating setting spray instead of powder.

6. Layer If Necessary

If the first application doesn’t provide enough coverage, it’s advisable to apply thin layers of concealer rather than one thick layer. Layering helps to build up the coverage gradually without risking a cakey appearance, ensuring a more natural finish.
