Concealer is one of the most versatile tools in your beauty routine when used correctly. Whether you want to soften the appearance of dark under-eye circles, neutralise redness around the nose or conceal a sudden breakout, the right formula and technique can make all the difference.
Rather than masking your face with heavy layers, strategic coverage allows your natural skin texture to shine through while keeping your complexion looking fresh and balanced. Pair your technique with lightweight foundations, hydrating primers, and translucent face powders to help set your make-up without a heavy feel.

A hydrating concealer for dark circles
Any questions?
Our experts have the answer
Discover the perfect Clarins concealer in a shade that enhances your complexion for a fresh look every day. Whether you want to soften dark under-eye circles, conceal blemishes or correct redness, the right formula and application technique can help you achieve a fresh, natural-looking complexion.
What is a concealer used for?
While foundation helps even out your overall skin tone, concealer provides targeted coverage for specific areas. Its concentrated pigments help disguise dark under-eye circles, hyperpigmentation, redness and blemishes. Apply a small amount where needed and blend gently for a natural-looking finish.
What is the best type of face concealer for my skin type?
Choosing the right concealer texture can help prevent flaking, excess shine and product settling into fine lines.
Dry skin: Choose lightweight, hydrating liquid or cream formulas that blend smoothly without emphasising dry patches. Discover Clarins Everlasting Concealer for a comfortable, polished-looking finish.
Oily and combination skin: Look for lightweight, long-wearing formulas that provide coverage without feeling heavy. Clarins Instant Concealer helps brighten the appearance of dark circles and conceal imperfections.
Mature skin: Consider fluid, blendable textures that sit comfortably on the skin. Apply sparingly and blend well to minimise the appearance of fine lines.
Should concealer be lighter than your foundation?
Not necessarily. The ideal concealer shade depends on the area you want to cover and the result you prefer.
For under-eyes: Choose a shade close to your skin tone or slightly lighter for a subtle brightening effect. Peach or warm undertones can help counter the appearance of blue or purple discolouration.
For blemishes and redness: Choose a shade that matches your foundation as closely as possible. A lighter shade can draw attention to the area rather than conceal it.
When should you apply concealer?
For most makeup routines, apply concealer after foundation. Foundation helps even out your complexion first, allowing you to identify the areas that need extra coverage and use less product overall.
After applying foundation, gently dab concealer onto dark circles, blemishes or areas of redness. Blend the edges without rubbing away the coverage.
Where should you apply concealer and how can you avoid creasing?
Follow these simple steps for a smooth, natural-looking finish.
1. Prep your skin:Allow your eye cream or face moisturiser to absorb before applying makeup. Well-hydrated skin can help makeup blend more evenly.
2. Apply where needed: Use a small amount around the inner corners of the eyes, on blemishes or wherever you notice discolouration. Build coverage gradually instead of applying a thick layer.
3. Blend gently: Use your fingertips or a soft makeup brush to blend the edges seamlessly into your foundation.
4. Set lightly: Press a small amount of face powder over areas prone to creasing or shine. Finish with a touch of blush for a fresh, radiant look.
Can you use concealer on your whole face?
Yes, but that’s not the recommended way to use concealer. Concealers are generally formulated with a much higher pigment load and a thicker texture than foundations. Applying it to the entire face can lead to a heavy finish that settles into fine lines and masks the skin’s natural luminosity.
Instead, use a lightweight foundation or a tinted moisturiser for the face, and reserve concealer for strategic spot-correction only. This preserves the skin's natural texture while still achieving a flawless look.
