Price shown is members' price.

Best for: Correcting

Why it's the best: When you have under-eye circles, it can be helpful to use a colour corrector like this one from Beauty Pie before going in with concealer. It basically works to counteract dark undertones with peachy or pink tones, helping to disguise pigmentation, which often means you can get away with not having to use quite so much concealer (or you can skip concealer all together).

Who What Wear UK editor review: "The concealer I always reach for is Beauty Pie's Superluminous Under Eye Genius in Light/Medium. It's created for under-the-eye coverage, but its ultra moisturising quality makes it great for blemish cover-up too as it doesn't flake" says senior fashion and beauty editor of branded content, Rebecca Rhys-Evans.

Best for: Radiance

Why it's the best: Both ultra creamy and hydrating, the Kosas concealer lends itself well to the skin around the eye area, helping to leave under-eyes looking radiant and dewy. The formula itself is enriched with arnica and caffeine, so even provides skincare benefits, helping to reduce the appearance of dark circles. A win-win.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "This concealer is effortlessly blendable and practically melts into the skin, concealing and leaving a healthy, glowy finish. I would say it offers medium coverage, but you could definitely layer this up if you wanted more coverage in certain areas," says beauty editor, Eleanor Vousden.

Best for: A full-coverage finish

Why it's the best: On days when your dark circles really need a helping hand, reach for this. It's the fullest coverage concealer I've tried, and leaves your under eyes looking totally flawless and bright. Even though it's pretty heavy-duty, it's also blendable, and you only need a small dot under each eye.

Best for: A second-skin finish

Why it's the best: Easily my most used concealer ever, this tiny pot is pure magic. I simply dab it over my undereyes with my ring finger, and in a matter of seconds, any trace of a dark circle has disappeared. Hyaluronic acid, peptides and vitamins hydrate and plump the skin, and offer antioxidant protection.

Best for: Affordability

Why it's the best: When I’m feeling a little shinier than I’d like, I reach for this matte-finish liquid concealer. A little goes a long way, so one or two dots under each eye is usually sufficient. It uses a unique high pigment elastic formula to help conceal a range of imperfections, from dark circles to blemishes, and I love using it on my under eyes.

Best for: Long-wearing abilities

Why it's the best: If you love your luxury beauty, you'll get a kick every time you pull this one out of your bag. Full coverage and promising 24-hour wear, it does not disappoint. It's also a great option for dry skin as it's infused with nourishing and moisturising floral extracts that hydrate and smooth the eye area.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "My all time favourite concealer is the Dior Forever Skin Concealer in the shade 6N, which I’ve been re-buying for years. Perfect for my dry skin, I either use this to simply brighten up my under eye on those ‘no-makeup makeup' days or I use it all over my face in place of my foundation when I want more coverage. It’s great for evening out my skin tone without drying out my skin or flaking off like other concealers I’ve tried," says editorial assistant, Brittany Davy.

Best for: A natural finish

Why it's the best: If you like a slightly more natural finish to your makeup, you’ll want to know about Glossier's Stretch Concealer. I love this stuff on no-foundation days when I only want a little bit of coverage where I need it. (Usually, this is just in my under-eye area and over the odd spot.) It's buildable, glowy and so easy to blend.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "Perfect for the person who doesn’t really want to wear concealer under their eyes but could benefit from just a little something, this is the best 'no-concealer concealer'. It adds a subtle sheen, never cakes or creases and is easy reapply at the end of the day before a night out," says editor-in-chief, Hannah Almassi.

Best for: Skincare benefits

Why it's the best: This buildable medium to full coverage concealer has been designed to look like a second skin. Effortless to apply and blend, it has self-setting technology that fuses with your skin, making it near enough invisible. Plus, hyaluronic acid and peptides hydrate and firm the skin, and Westman Atelier's exclusive Vital Wakeup Complex (gentian root, coffee leaf and licorice extracts) evens tone and diminishes dark circles over time.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "My favourite new concealer discovery is Westman Atelier's latest launch. I don't know what sorcery it took to make it, but it's easily the best concealer I've tried this year. It melts effortlessly into a second-skin finish. while providing medium coverage that blurs everything from uneven skin texture to redness. I'll never be without it in my makeup bag now," says beauty editor, Eleanor Vousden.

Best for: Dry skin

It contains eight types of hydrating hyaluronic acids with different molecular weights (to penetrate deep into the skin), a brightening magnolia flower complex, and energising caffeine extract. If you have dry or dehydrated under-eyes, I promise you, this will deliver on both the hydration and the coverage.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "I've been using this for a few weeks and it’s really an all-in-one concealer. I use it for brightening my under-eyes and any blemishes. I don’t have any issues with it feeling dry or cakey and it looks super natural would recommend if it’s in your budget," says Megan Storey, social media editor.

Best for: A little bit of luxury

Why it's the best: The ultimate in luxury concealers, this Victoria Beckham concealer pen is a power house and does so much more than just cover and conceal pigmentation and blemishes. The formula actually features TFC8 by Augustinus Bader, a patented technology that is composed of peptides, vitamins and natural amino acids to nourish and protect your complexion. It's nice and hydrating on the under eyes, and conceals dark circles while still giving a second-skin finish.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "This is one of the best concealers I've come across. Yes, it's pricey, but it's worth it for the skincare benefits alone. Thanks to the hydrating formula, it gives a radiant finish and is super blendable. Most importantly, it doesn't dry out your under eyes or cling to your skin like other concealers out there. It's worth noting that it does offer light-to-medium coverage which might not be for everyone, but as someone who prefers a more natural-looking base, this gets top marks from me," says junior beauty editor, Grace Lindsay.

Best for: An airbrushed finish

Why it's the best: A concealer that blew up on TikTok (and for good reason), the Hourglass concealer does everything it says on the tin—makes dark circles vanish and airbrushes the skin. I've never received more compliments on how awake and vibrant I look than when I wear this. It's somehow mattifying and radiant, and will genuinely take you from day to night. The smaller tube size is ideal for even the tiniest of tiny handbags, too.

Who What Wear UK editor review: "This concealer blends into my complexion seamlessly and always feels super creamy and comfortable to wear. While it doesn't completely get rid of my dark circles, it does brighten my under eyes and cover up the discolouration around that area. Plus, it lasts so well," says junior beauty editor, Grace Lindsay.

When the brand discovered that the majority of Touche Éclat fans were incorrectly using the lightweight highlighting brightener as an under-eye concealer, it knew something had to be done, which is when this concealer pen was created. Ever as illuminating but with more coverage, this concealer was the answer.
