If you’re plagued by puffiness, look for formulas that contain de-puffing ingredients like caffeine. “Depending on what you want to use it for-whether it’s for under the eyes, blemishes, or both-it’s important to find a formula that will work for you and your skin needs,” she says.

Another had questions about how hygienic it was: "I like the idea of a sponge applicator," she said, "but then I think of germs." Lastly, although this is billed as a full-coverage formula, one tester felt she had to "put on a little more formula than usual" to get the coverage she normally desires.Ĭoverage Level: Full | Finish: Natural | Shades: 20 | Size: 0.13 ounces | Cruelty-Free: Yes However, all three reviewers had slight concerns about the sponge-tip applicator: "It took a while to turn and get the formula going in the sponge," noted one tester. "It blended really nicely with the applicator alone and even better with my personal concealer brush." Another said she loved how "dewy and glowing" she looked after applying it-always a major win in our book.

Two of our testers raved about how easy it was to blend: "I really liked the feel and formula," one said. This Charlotte Tilbury formula came in at a close second behind Shape Tape, scoring an average of 5/5 for its texture and staying power and a 4.7/5 for its coverage and creasing.

"The price is affordable, and the applicator is designed specifically for under-eye circles," she noted. "This is my usual go-to," said one reviewer. "It's definitely not an everyday formula if you're just dabbing on some makeup and running out the door, but it's a must-have for full glam," she said.Ĭoverage Level: Full | Finish: Satin | Shades: 35 | Size: 0.3 ounces | Cruelty-Free: YesĪccording to our testers, there was much to love about this fan-favorite dark circle treatment concealer. However, she also added that it worked best for more glamorous looks because its formula is thicker and more full-coverage than others she tried. "Its non-drying formula lasted all day without creasing or creating extra wrinkles."Īnother tester noted that she loved this concealer for brightening her under-eyes, specifically. "The matte formula imparts smooth finish that isn't shiny," said one tester, who also noted that she used it for contouring, too.

And when we say highest possible, we mean it-three editors tested this formula, and each of them gave it perfect scores for its texture, staying power, coverage, and creasing. Tarte's best-selling Shape Tape concealer has long been a Team Byrdie fave, so it's no surprise it earned the highest possible 5/5 marks from our testers across the board.
