8 Drugstore Concealers Professional Makeup Artists Swear By

When we talk about makeup, we often focus on the obvious—the bold lip, the smoky eye. But where’s the love for the workhorse? The products you rely on day in and day out? Like those mornings after a restless sleep when your dark under-eye circles are bordering on deep purple. Lashes out to here aren’t going to make you feel like yourself again—that’s what concealer is for. It’s one of those magic makeup steps that can totally uplift your look, which is why it's a pro makeup artist essential. We asked some of the top celebrity artists to share their favorite formulas.

These experts work with some of the most beautiful people in the world and use some of the best products on the market. So they seriously know what they’re talking about when it comes to good cover-up (high definition cameras hide nothing). For an added challenge, we requested concealers that you can easily find and buy at your local drugstore. (PSSST almost everything here is under $15.)
