When you’re dealing with unsightly dark circles and under-eye bags, it can be a struggle finding the perfect concealer at an affordable price that will fix them. We’re desperate to find that one product that’s going to make our troubles disappear (literally, in this case).

When you’ve got annoying dark circles or under eye bags (sometimes both), you need something that’s going to erase those ASAP! Not every concealer out there is what it promises, not to mention fits into the budget. I’ve got a roundup here of my top ten best drugstore concealers that help get rid of under eye circles and bags.

 

Covergirl Tru Blend Undercover Concealer

I think this is a pretty slept on option. No one really talks about it, but you know, that’s why I’m here to give it a little praise. If you love full coverage, then this will give it to you. I really enjoy how easily this concealer covered up my dark circles. I also really like the fatter wand, it makes application breezier for me compared to concealer with skinnier applicators I’ve used. I feel like although this has a bit of a tendency to crease on me, but a good setting powder does the trick just fine. I’m not usually a massive buyer of the Covergirl brand, but this has become one of my favorite choices in drugstore concealers. I am thoroughly impressed with this!

 

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

Another very popular favorite among beauty influencers, this wand concealer has been compared to the NARS Radiant Creamy concealer quite a few times. My personal opinion? It’s close, but not quite. A good drugstore concealer nonetheless.This has a slightly watery cream texture, and has pretty good medium to full coverage on under eyes, blemishes and dark spots.

 

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer

Want a little more coverage for an extra glam look? The Maybelline age rewind concealer has a thicker consistency with very good coverage and perfect for masking under eye bags and dark circles. I like the sponge applicator design of this concealer. It really makes it stand out from most wand concealers on the market. Also, try not to go overboard on this one, as a little product goes a long way. Surprisingly it doesn’t get as much shine as the Fit Me option, but it definitely should!

 

 

Maybelline New York Superstay Better Skin Concealer 

 

Maybelline followed up their new Superstay line of foundations with concealers to match; and trust me, they’re good! This formula offers a nice medium to full coverage and blends into the skin quick and seamlessly. The shade range offers a good amount for a spectrum of skin tones from light to deep. Although I’d find this mostly ideal for those who are looking to brighten under the eyes and not much for those who are looking to use it as a complexion product. The undertones on these tend to run on the reddish pink side.

What makes this concealer stand out is that it claims to have an antioxidant called “acryl-c” which is a form of vitamin c. This is meant to help brighten and correct dark spots and pigmentation with use over a period of time! I can’t personally attest to this promise, but quite an innovative spin for a drugstore concealer!

NYX HD Photogenic Studio Concealer 

This Nyx concealer threw me off a bit in the beginning because it’s a bit watery and the shades came off aa bit orange sometimes. However, it’s not a bad choice overall. This is very easy to blend and stays put virtually all day. I find that it tends to crease a bit, but it’s nothing that a good setting powder can’t fix.

 

LA Girl HD Pro Concealer

This cult favorite is an OG and exceptional choice for getting rid of those stupid dark circles and under-eye bags. Available in a range of 28 shades, we can credit this line of concealers as probably the most impressive in shade range when it comes to most drugstore brands in general! It has a brush applicator and the converge is phenomenal. This performs beautifully and the “pro” isn’t just marketing. This one right here can easily compete with higher end options.

 

e.l.f 16HR Camo Concealer

This concealer can easily pass for a Tarte Shape Tape concealer dupe. I really enjoy the consistency. It’s not thin and runny but it’s not super thick and difficult to blend. It’s creamy and smooth to apply. The camouflage name makes perfect sense because the coverage is definitely full on. This covers imperfections very well, blends into the skin seamlessly, and doesn’t crease when applied under the eyes.

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer

Quite similar to the Elf camo concealer, this one from Makeup Revolution is another great drugstore pick. I also like how this one has a fatter wand although the stick is quite short? Anyway, what I love the most about this concealer is that even though it’s a little on the thicker side, it never feels cakey or heavy on the skin. The coverage is basically full, so no need to pile this one on. That said, it’s an excellent choice for people who wish to cover their dark circles in a snap.

Those wrap up my picks for top drugstore concealers!

    Love this! I use the Nyx dark circle concealer and it’s awesome. I layer a second concealer on top of it (L’oreal) and I’m thinking I might switch it to the FitMe….

      Hi Julie! If you can’t find the dark circle concealer online I have seen it available at Nordstrom Rack in their beauty section’s NYX display. Do you have any Nordstrom Rack stores near you?
