The Best Concealer For Every Skin Problem

Dark circles? Blemishes? Blotchiness? Different problem spots require different tints and textures. Use this guide from Troy Surratt, founder of Surratt Beauty, to pinpoint your perfect concealer—and learn how to apply it for a flawless finish.

Problem: Blemishes
Look for A tacky texture (usually found in
tubes or compacts).

How to apply
After putting on foundation, swipe
across the blemish with a concealer
brush—up and down and side to
side—until every curve of the bump
is covered.

Problem: Redness
Look for A green-tinted stick to neutralize ruddiness
with precision.

How to apply
Swipe along areas where skin tends
to get blotchy—around your nose and
chin—then use a sponge to diffuse the
color evenly. Apply foundation.

Problem: Dark Circles
Look for A dense, creamy formula for easy-toblend
full coverage.

How to apply

With the concealer’s wand, dab three
small dots along the orbital bone
under your eyes, then gently tap with
your ring finger to buff into skin.
