As our skin naturally changes with age, it’s totally normal for our makeup needs to change, too. The concealer and foundation that worked like a dream in your 20s might not feel—or look—the same in your 40s or 50s. Skin can become drier, texture can change, and fine lines can start to play a bigger role in how products sit on the face (is there anything worse than makeup that sinks into lines?). That’s why it’s so important to reevaluate your makeup routine as your skin evolves, especially when it comes to concealer.
Thankfully, the beauty world has taken notice, and today’s concealers are more skin-friendly than ever. Many brands are now prioritizing formulas that are not only lightweight and blendable, but also packed with hydrating ingredients that help smooth and brighten the skin without settling into lines. Whether you’re covering dark circles, evening out tone, or just looking for a fresh, radiant finish, there’s a product out there that will work with your skin—not against it. Here are 11 of our favorite concealers that are beautiful on mature skin.
