Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer, 20 Light 0.12 Oz

Product Information

This liquid concealer was awarded 4.5 out of 5 and was our favorite option for covering dark circles. Containing white water lily extract, the fragrance-free formula also works to soothe and hydrate stressed skin.

Fair skin is more prone to sunburn, but not necessarily more prone to irritation. Board-certified dermatologist Iris Rubin, MD, says "sensitive skin is actually not a clinical diagnosis, though most people think of it as skin that is easily irritated."Huda's aptly named Overachiever Concealer contains green tea and probiotics, which help soothe stressed skinand prevent potential irritation. The highly pigmented formula offers full-coverage camouflaging and color-correcting, then leaves a stunning radiant finish in its wake. Promising review: “I have sensitive, acne prone skin, and a couple dark spots that need correcting and this concealer blended nicely with my makeup. It goes on so smooth and doesn't crease. Created a nice finish.” —Kikisangrykitty via Target

It has a gorgeous peach undertone that blends in well without leaving any creasing, fading, or transfer. The formula also contains turmeric, cucumber extract, and vitamin C, which add a lovely brightening effect to the concealer. We tried the bisque shade and think the darker shades could also be used to create a bronzing effect. All in all, this is a great everyday concealer that can be used all over the face. This concealer is ideal for very reactive, stressed skin that’s prone to irritation. The added green tea also helps to protect the skin from pigmentation, if this is something you are prone to.

After setting with powder, we experienced minimal creasing and found that the creaminess of its formula lent itself best to drier skin types, earning it a great overall score. Hydration: There are many moisturizing ingredientsavailable in beauty products. Since dry skin could lead to further irritation, choosing a concealer that has hydrating ingredients is an ideal choice. We found that this concealer also instantly covered imperfections while illuminating the entire area around our eyes. This created a more air-brushed effect and really made our eyes pop. While lightweight, it also offered plenty of coverage but was easy to layer up, too.
