Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer ($32)
From real-life famous families to fictional ones, Nars Radiant Concealer has earned rave reviews in Hollywood. Kendall Jenner said she’s “really into” it in a Vogue India video, while “Bridgerton” star Phoebe Dynevor once included it in her own routine roundup.
Other celeb fans include Jennifer Lopez, who swipes some on before contouring.
Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage Concealer ($36)
This concealer may camouflage imperfections, but it certainly stands out to stars. Margot Robbie once name-dropped it in a Marie Claire UK interview, while Padma Lakshmi called the dual-ended pen version ($36) “a lifesaver for early mornings when I need to look wide awake” in a chat with E!.
Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff — who’s worked with Robbie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sofia Richie — also dubbed it her “go-to” in a Vogue interview, raving, “The two tones make it easy to custom-match the shade perfectly and the dry cream formula means it stays put.”
Kosas Revealer Concealer ($30)
While showing Vogue her beauty routine, Hailey Bieber revealed that the Revealer Concealer is her go-to,
“I just love that it’s like creamy and hydrating and leaves just this dewy finish on the skin,” she said, adding that she also applies some along her jawline for a “lifted” and “sculpted look.”
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen ($40)
Stars don’t save YSL for their closets alone. This brightening pen’s long list of fans includes Jennifer Lopez, Gemma Chan and Meghan Markle. The duchess touted its benefits during her “Suits” days, telling Allure it was one of few products she used for a “five-minute face.”
Zoë Kravitz applies hers for similarly subtle looks, once telling Vogue she uses it to cover spots when going foundation-free. “I love this stuff because it’s light and just kind of brighten things up,” she explained.
Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer SPF 27 ($75)
Jenna Dewan, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Chrissy Teigen are all reported fans of this luxe beauty buy, with the “Cravings” author once dubbing it her “concealer pick for you, and for myself” on Twitter.
Glossier Stretch Concealer ($20)
Stars hardly gloss over Glossier when it comes to beauty shopping. Sydney Sweeney swiped on this dewy-finish formula during her Vogue Beauty Secrets video, while Olivia Rodrigo told the same outlet she’s “obsessed” with it.
“One of my friends uses this and I was at her house,” the “Deja Vu” songstress recalled. “We were doing makeup and she put this on me and I was like ‘What is this!? This is the greatest. It’s just super subtle.’ That’s what Glossier does best.”
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser ($11)
When it comes to drugstore beauty buys, Bethenny Frankel’s put plenty a product to the test. This under-$15 find made the cut for her coveted collection, as she dubbed it “really good” in an April 2023 video.
Dior Forever Skin Concealer ($40)
What do Nina Dobrev and Emma Roberts have in common (besides both landing recent rom-com roles, that is)? Their love for this Dior concealer. The latter star applied hers in a Vogue video, while Dobrev raved about the full-coverage formula to E!.
“It’s a little bit thicker and provides a little more coverage in the under-eye area, which I am sensitive to, because I don’t sleep as much as I probably should,” she said. “So, I get dark circles and under-eye puffiness. I kind of do a dollop everywhere in the spots that need the most coverage.”
Pat McGrath Labs Skin Fetish Concealer ($34)
Taylor Swift just might be in her Pat McGrath Labs era. The pop phenom used this concealer for both her 2022 VMAs look and her buzzy “Bejeweled” music video, which featured an appearance from McGrath herself.
“Taylor called me with two questions,” the makeup expert previously told Page Six Style. The first was to ask me if I would do all her beautiful looks; the second request was to be her queen in the video. It was such an honor,”
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer ($33)
Lizzo often gets glammed up for red carpets using Charlotte Tilbury products — including at the 2021 Grammys, where she sported this concealer. The formula is “inspired by airbrush techniques and designed for a full-coverage finish,” per the product description.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer ($31)
Tarte’s Shape Tape has shaped up to be a viral hit — and managed to score fans in Shay Mitchell and Kyle Richards, too. The “Pretty Little Liars” star once told Cosmopolitan UK the product is “something that I live by.”
Meanwhile, Kyle Richards gushed to E!, “Everyone I know uses this product. I don’t know what I’d do without it.”
Rare Beauty Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer ($22)
It’s not rare to see Selena Gomez wearing Rare Beauty. She applied this brightening concealer from her beauty brand — which Page Six Style tested following its 2020 launch — in a Vogue video.
