For most of us, concealer is an essential step of our daily getting-ready routine. No matter how careful you are with using the right skincare products, your skin is always going to show flaws from environmental stressors, day-to-day stresses, or simply a lack of sleep. In between applying a serum and swiping on mascara, the skin might need a little pick-me-up to reduce the appearance of dark spots, bags or blemishes.
The problem with concealer is that the good ones seldom come cheap. The best concealers provide long-lasting full coverage in a creamy yet smooth consistency that won’t crease or crack as your day goes on. And we found a concealer that does just this – for less than $11!

Promising Reviews
“I happened to discover this by accident at Ulta when looking for other stuff. I'm so glad I bought it!! The shade match is perfect, I think. It's medium to full coverage and can be layered for more coverage if needed. The texture is lightweight, not heavy or greasy. It does not settle into pores or fine lines or crease in a weird way. I apply concealer over this and then powder products like blush, bronzer, and highlighter and it still looks fab underneath. The finish is airbrushed perfection. And it lasts all day! I wear this sometimes for 12 hours at a time if its long day and when I set it with powder and setting spray, she does not budge. I've heard it compared to Fenty as a dupe, which I cannot attest to since I don't own Fenty. But the quantity and quality of this foundation for the price of $11 is AMAZING! Plus I just found out I can order it on Amazon and have it delivered to my house. If you're on the fence about this, go for it. I took a chance on it and ended up in love. For reference, I'm 38, fair skinned half irish girl with hazel eyes and naturally brown hair that I color red. I burn easily and have freckles, of course. I have more cool undertones than warm. I am shade 010 Light Beige. This is now the ONLY foundation I take when traveling, and my go-to for nights out and big events.” - Erin B.
“Absolutely love this product, it's cheap, it's full coverage, it doesn't make my skin break out, it keeps my oil under control and it lasts for a full day! I have really sensitive and oily skin, and this is the only foundation I feel comfortable enough to sleep in (and have done many times). I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a long-lasting, mattifying, cheap foundation!” - Stormy
“This is my favorite foundation right now! I’ve been using this for a few months and the coverage is just flawless. It has buildable medium to full coverage. I’ve bought this from Ulta before and they were out of stock so I ordered it on Amazon. I think it’s a few dollars cheaper on Amazon. This foundation doesn’t crease or look cakey. My skin is dry and acne prone and this doesn’t make my acne worse. Being that my skin is so dry, my skin doesn’t look dry or flakey when this is applied. I love the coverage and color. It lasts throughout the day pretty well. I’ve tried soooo many foundations from drugstore to high end and this is my favorite and must have!” - Katie
