12 Top-Rated Concealers with Over 1,000 Five-Star Reviews on Sephora

Continuing our series of the most-lauded beauty products at Sephora (see our lists of top-rated foundations and best-selling perfumes), we’re combing through pages and pages of a must-have of every makeup bag next: concealer.

Unlike foundation—where Sephora shoppers tend to favor medium coverage with a natural-to-matte finish—top-rated concealers span the spectrum, from sheer to full coverage and radiant to soft-matte finishes. No matter the formula, the best concealers neutralize dark circles, redness and blemishes (both new and lingering), leaving skin looking even, smooth and bright. Ahead, 12 concealers so beloved they’ve each earned more than 1,000 five-star reviews on Sephora.

With more than 9,000 five-star reviews on Sephora, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer checks all the right boxes: it blends seamlessly, wears well throughout the day and visibly brightens dark circles. The creamy formula delivers buildable, medium coverage, making it just as effective for evening skin tone and spot-concealing blemishes.
