When you have under-eye circles, it can be helpful to use a colour corrector before going in with concealer. They basically work to counteract dark undertones with peachy or pink tones, helping to disguise pigmentation, which often means you can get away with not having to use quite so much concealer. Beauty Pie's comes in three shades, and the silky formula helps to hydrate and prep the eye area if you're applying concealer on top.

This multi-tasking formula combines the skincare ingredients of a serum with the disguising power of a concealer. The lightweight texture blends into the skin effortlessly, delivering a dewy finish that hides dark circles, shadows, imperfections and fine lines. It's also packed with antioxidants and squalene to revitalise the eye area. It's like eight hours of sleep in a tube.

The beauty of Lumene's offering is that it has a hydrating serum texture that melts into the skin without settling into fine lines or turning cakey throughout the day. But perhaps our favourite part is the metal applicator, which feels cooling on the eye area as you apply it, helping to massage away puffiness and boost circulation for brighter-looking eyes. You'll also find Nordic algae, willowherb, vitamin E and cloudberry, which work in tandem to hydrate and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes.

Both ultra creamy and hydrating, this concealer lends itself well to the skin around the eye area, helping to leave under-eyes looking radiant and dewy. The formula is also enriched with arnica and caffeine, which can help directly address the appearance of dark circles as you wear it. It's one of the Who What Wear UK team's favourite concealers—read our Kosas Revealer Concealer review for more thoughts.

On days when your dark circles really need a helping hand, reach for this. Full coverage yet blendable and seriously heavy-duty, the smallest amount will have your dark circles covered all day long.

Easily my most-used concealer ever, this tiny pot is pure magic. I simply dab it over my under-eyes with my ring finger, and in a matter of seconds, any trace of a dark circle has disappeared.

If you like your under-eye concealer with real staying power, this could be the one for you. Although technically a corrector, unlike others, this stuff can hold up on its own as a concealer. Work it into the skin with your ring finger for seriously full coverage.

When I’m feeling a little shinier than I’d like, I reach for this matte-finish liquid concealer. A little goes a long way, so one or two dots under each eye is usually sufficient. It’s full coverage and matte but also remarkably natural-looking.

This is commonly regarded as one of the best under-eye concealers on the market, and yes, you read that price correctly. It’s creamy, easy to blend and relatively long-lasting, so I urge you to give it a go. For £5, what do you have to lose?

For a concealer that packs a punch, look no further. Perfect for nights out or days when you might need your coverage to stick around for a little longer, this liquid concealer really stays put. It has a slightly silky, powder-like finish that refuses to settle into fine lines.

Concealer fans should know all about this one. This duo has a devoted following of beauty editors and makeup artists who rave about its dark-circle-erasing abilities. Housing two shades for unique colour matching and correction, this compact holds the secret to seamless coverage that sticks around all day and night.

Whilst Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer might be the most highly praised in the brand's product line, that’s not to say that its other creations aren’t wonderful in their own right. On days you fancy applying a little less makeup, this liquid formula is a winner. It sticks around, sure, but the coverage leans towards the medium side of full, making it the ultimate no-makeup makeup concealer.

If you've been using YSL’s famous Touche Éclat as an under-eye concealer for the last however many years, you’ve got it all wrong. When the brand discovered that the majority of Touche Éclat fans were incorrectly using the lightweight brightener as an under-eye concealer, it knew something had to be done. Ever as illuminating but with more coverage, this concealer was the answer.

For those of us who suffer from dry under-eyes, finding a concealer that doesn’t worsen the situation can be difficult. This formula, however, contains a super-hydrating combination of goji berry and haloxyl to help your dark circles on a deeper level. If you ask me, it’s one of the best under-eye products out there, and it’s super friendly on the bank account, too.

Again, if you like a slightly more natural finish to your makeup, you’ll want to know about Glossier Stretch Concealer. I love this stuff on no-foundation days when I only want a little bit of coverage where I need it. (Usually, this is just in my under-eye area and over the odd spot.) It’s glowy, easy to blend and really buildable.

I like to think of this Charlotte Tilbury concealer as the luxury version of Maybelline’s Eraser Eye. Besides the fact it uses a very similar sponge applicator (I like it, but I’m not mad about the hygiene aspect), the formula is also similar. It’s lightweight, glowy and mega hydrating, but it’s the wonderful sheeny finish you won’t find elsewhere that I love so much.

Dcypher custom-mixes the perfect concealer to your skin tone by utilising three easy-to-take images of your skin. There is an option to choose an under-eye concealer (which will be one shade brighter to illuminate your under-eyes) or you can opt for an exact match to your skin tone if you want to use it all over. It's seriously clever and delivers an accurate colour match each time.

Perfect for those looking for a formula that works to improve skin texture, this liquid take on Benefit’s classic Boi-ing leaves skin looking almost impossibly smooth. Plus, it does a really good job at sorting out any discolouration, too.

Besides the fact that this concealer gives an amazing full-coverage yet brightening finish, what's most impressive is its overwhelming shade offering. With 50 to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find the one for you.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that this concealer isn’t heavy-duty just because it comes as a liquid. One tiny drop goes an impressively long way. It’s thick and needs a bit of elbow grease to blend, but as soon as you get there, it’s quite magical.

This easy-to-use, natural-looking concealer has an array of celebrity super fans from Miranda Kerr to Emma Watson. Its creamy texture and skin-like finish make it the perfect dark-circle disguise.

When I can’t be bothered with foundation, this concealer is my go-to. It leaves such a perfect second-skin finish that I pretty much end up applying it all over. But the reason it shines brightest? It makes covering up dark circles a total breeze.

With a botanical blend, this is creamy and hydrating yet long-lasting and sweat-resistant. It provides full enough coverage to disguise dark circles but is sheeny enough to leave skin looking natural.

With a super-precise doe-foot applicator and a seriously full-coverage formula, this concealer is potentially one of the best at actually concealing that I have ever tried. I challenge anyone to use it and not fall in love. 

An amalgamation of an eye serum and a concealer, this stuff from Trinny London is impressively hydrating. It leaves under-eye skin plump and radiant, and dark circles suitably disguised. 

At this point, I don't think Vieve can put a foot wrong in the beauty game. Available in 20 shades that'll all banish dark circles and hyperpigmentation, this hydrating liquid formula is here to help you cheat a full night's sleep. 

This one is perfect for those looking for a breathable formula that conceals whilst working to improve skin texture. I love recommending this to anyone who fancies a concealer over a foundation, especially as it's a pretty sizeable tube and a little goes a long way.

Since it's specifically designed to be applied under the eyes, this concealer has a light, creamy texture that never feels heavy, nor does it settle into fine lines.

Dew without the sheen, staying power without the telltale creases of all-day wear—this is basically everything you could ever want in an under-eye concealer. This gem, created by revered celebrity make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic, is a staple in my routine, regardless of where I'm going or what I'm doing. It brightens and hydrates (the formula has tiny powder particles to help with longevity) without looking slick or shiny. Swipe on with the applicator and gently pat out with a ring finger or small brush. It'll look as if you bank eight hours a night, every night.

A concealer that blew up on TikTok (and for good reason), the Hourglass concealer does everything it says on the tin—makes dark circles vanish and airbrushes the skin. I've never received more compliments on how awake and vibrant I look than when I wear this. It's somehow mattifying and radiant, and will genuinely take you from day to night. The smaller tube size is ideal for even the tiniest of tiny handbags, too.

This multitasker has been a long-time favourite for anyone looking to craft a night-out-proof base. Its long-wearing formula and sizeable doe -foot applicator make it equally useful on mornings when you only have time for a five-minute routine.

Refy has become synonymous with brilliant brow and lash products, but I would argue that its complexion offerings—namely the brand's concealer—is equally deserving of accolades. The light-medium formula leaves under-eyes softly blurred and free from creases.

Formulated with moisturising glycerin and plumping hyaluronic acid to nourish and smooth the under-eyes, Saie's All-Over Concealer does what it says on the tin. I tend to recommend this concealer to anyone who wants to conceal their dark circles and minimise pigmentation with one product.

This skincare-infused concealer—it contains SPF 25, niacinamide and fermented ginseng flower—is a lightweight but mighty option for all-over coverage. If you need even more, try applying this to spots over the brand's ingenious Centella SOS Patch.

This concealer has become a mainstay in my makeup bag thanks to its illuminating formula and tapered applicator that gets right into the eye contours for a creaseless finish.
