The Best Concealer You Can Buy Is $4 at the Drugstore, According to Beauty Scientists

Whether you're looking to make under-eye circles disappear or you're targeting bright-red blemishes, a good concealer is key. But can drugstore makeup perform as well as pricier prestige brands? The Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab set out to find the answer.

Our Beauty Lab is comprised of beauty experts and chemists who regularly test thousands of beauty, skincare and hair products to find the only ones worth your money. When we tested concealers, we rounded up over 150 products and then narrowed down the field to the best 26 to put to the test. We obscured the labels on these picks before sending them to professional makeup artists who scored each concealer's performance from blendability to coverage to texture. We weighed testers' responses and measured data from over 540 questions to find the best concealers to hide everything from dark circles to acne scarring to facial redness.

Below are the top-rated concealers according Good Housekeeping Institute tests as well as beauty editor picks and cult favorites according to shoppers and product reviewers. At last, the inexpensive answer to your discoloration drama.
