The best undereye concealers 2025

The truth is, searching for the best under eye concealer can feel never ending. But there is a formulation out there that's makeup match made in makeup heaven. The Rachel to your Ross. The G to your T. The sock to your, er, other sock.

Whether you're looking to reduce the look of tired, puffy eyes or to brighten dark circles, for light-to-full coverage, to blur fine lines; there’s a concealer out there for you. 

Longing to find your No 1? Here are eight greats – aka the best under eye concealers worthy of your time and money. But first things first…

Often touted as the best undereye concealer for brightening dark circles, Armani’s lightweight formula is super hydrating, blends like a dream and gives buildable coverage, so you can get away without powdering. Available in 20 shades, so… snaps all round.

If anyone knows brightening, it’s YSL and its classic megawatt illuminating wand. Available in 16 shades, it gives a luminous, lit-from-within finish, with (surprisingly) high coverage for dark circles and puffiness, minus any creases. This is one OG with serious staying power. 

Bye Bye reached cult status way back in 2010 when it sold out on launch, fast becoming one of the world’s most popular undereye concealers. Available in a whopping  26 shades and designed to conceal, blur and colour correct, its thicker consistency provides matt, high coverage – ideal for oilier types (and no need for powder) which is impressively long-lasting. Perfect for a 5am start, it’s also packed with skin-loving peptides and antioxidants.

The best vegan undereye concealer, Charlotte Tilbury’s wonderwand reduces the appearance of blemishes, dark circles, redness and pigmentation. Available in 20 shades, it gives medium coverage with a flash of radiance, or what Tilbs calls it ‘elastic second skin’. But it’s the easy-use precision applicator sponge that makes this The One for fast, fuss-free, on-the-go application. 

Called the holy grail of eye concealers, Trinny London's BFF combines the hydrating power of eye serum with a concealer that delivers featherweight full coverage. It helps to disguise those pesky dark circles and any redness with zero creasing. Available in 12 skin-true shades, for natural, grownup glow - it's more than a new concealer, it's a new BFF.

The most natural-looking undereye concealers feel weightless, blurring dark circles and diffusing light for a brightening, ‘lifted’ effect, without the ‘full face on’ feel. Available in 22 shades, Flawless promises 16 hours of high-performance wear (it's waterproof too, FYI) for lightweight coverage with an anti-oxidant rich formula also helps erase exhaustion.

Too Faced’s multi-use concealer doubles as full-face coverage that blurs blemishes too. The foam covered applicator tip (doe-foot shaped should techical terminology be your thing) is precise enough for the inner corners of the eye, while the creamy texture is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), blending beautifully on cheeks. Available in 35 shades and loved by MUAs, it promises zero flashback, making it the perfect plus-one for any wedding/holiday/big day photos too. 

A one-of-a-kind, undeniably fancy, feels-like-cashmere concealer. The kind of ‘wake up makeup’ that’ll see you forgoing the rest of your kit, this five-star rated, award-winning, pro favourite coverup is… wait for it… longwearing, crease-resistant, waterproof, pore-diffusing, light-reflecting, highly pigmented yet weightless – and promises maximum results, with minimal product. Available in 22 shades, it conceals and brightens, for a soft-focus, celebrity finish. It’s delish.
