We Tested 26 of the Best Under-Eye Concealers — These 9 Are the Winners

Concealer is one of the most effective makeup products you can use, instantly helping even out your skin's tone whether you're wearing foundation or not. But not all coverups are created equal: Some are better for blemishes and dark spots, some for redness and others specifically for the under-eye area. Since the skin under the eyes is among the thinnest on the body, it tends to be dry and fragile, so it requires gentle concealer formulas that won't irritate, yet provide enough coverage for issues like dark circles and can spread easily over fine lines.

In order to find the best concealers, our analysts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab partnered with professional makeup artists to test 26 best-selling formulas, from drugstore concealers to high-end picks. They were assessed on attributes including application, texture, look and feel of skin during use and coverage level, culminating in 546 data points that were meticulously evaluated to create this list of the best under-eye concealers you can buy for dark circles, wrinkles, dry skin and more.
