It is non-drying and infused with hyaluronic acid which ensures it won’t cling to any dry skin around your eyes or on blemishes that may have gone a bit crusty leaving an undetectable finish.

9.
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
£18/$23 // 23 Shades
This high coverage concealer provides undetectable, invisible coverage for any blemishes or skin concerns you may have. Although too heavy for under the eye (in my opinion) this concealer will leave your skin looking flawless and covered throughout the entire day.
10.
L’Oreal Infallible Full Wear More Than Concealer
£9.99/$13.49 // 25 Shades
Arguably a dupe for Tarte Shape Tape (mentioned above) the Infallible concealer is ultra-long wearing and high coverage perfect for those days when you need your makeup to last extra long. As a warning, this formula is considerably mattifying so I would avoid if you are prone to flakey eyes however, it does perform well on the face for contouring!
