The Best Concealers for Mature Skin Won't Sink Into Under-Eye Creases (2024)

The Best Concealer for Mature Skin Overall

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Face and Under-Eye Concealer

As we age, our skin has a tendency to get drier, which makes it even more important to find a concealer that is going to add moisture into the skin. Enter: Armani’s Luminous Silk Face and Under Eye Concealer, the counterpart to their wildly popular foundation, Luminous Skin Foundation. The concealer shares the same blurring and airbrush finish as the foundation, while having the added benefits of caffeine, glycerin, and vitamin E to help brighten and moisturize the skin.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural Radiant

Key Ingredients: Caffeine, vitamin E, glycerin

Pros: Lightweight; soft focus

Cons: Has a slight sparkle

Our Tester's Review: "I'm 56. My skin is drier and I have more creases, so I've had to accept that less is more when applying concealer. Armani has been my go-to for years because it honestly checks every box. It feels lightweight on my skin and leave my under-eye feeling super hydrated. It's almost like putting a refreshing serum on. I think I look pretty damn good with it." — Mindy

The Under Eye Concealer for Mature Skin

Bobbi Brown Skin Concealer Stick

A staple in celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek's kit, this cream concealer is her first pick for on-the-go applications or touch-ups thanks to its stick packaging. The formula inside speaks for itself: It’s creamy, long-wearing, and extremely blendable. You can build up the layers for additional coverage and stay confident that you won’t look cakey, crease, or pill.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural

Key Ingredients: Coffee seed oil

Pros: Great for under-eye

Cons: Not a wide color selection

Our Tester's Review: "It has a creamy, smooth texture that easily glides on the skin. I use it on the dark circles near my eyes and the edges of my lips. It stays on for a long time, but since it is a stick, I can reapply it quickly if needed. The Bobbi Brown Skin Stick is amazing!" — Darlese

The Best Multi-Purpose Concealer for Mature Skin

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

A best-seller at every retailer, a TikTok sensation, and my personal go-to, NARS’ Radiant Creamy Concealer gets five stars across the board. I apply it almost like a secondary foundation in any area where I need brightness, coverage, or color correction. It gives a subtle glow that seemingly plumps up the skin rather than sinking into it. I even keep a darker hue on hand to use as my bronzer—the texture is stunning.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Vitamin E, grape seed oil, light diffusing mineral powder

Pros: Editor-approved; good for under-eyes and face

Cons: Not enough pigment to conceal blemishes

Our Tester's Review: "I’ve been using NARS concealer for over five years because I simply love it. It blends with my skin and doesn’t look too heavy. At this stage in my life (49 years lived), I don’t want anything too thick on my face as it tends to make me look older, which is why I continue to use NARS all these years.” — Marcia

The Best Brightening Concealer for Mature Skin

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Medium to Full Coverage Radiant Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid

Think of this product like an eye cream—but with pigment. Packed with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, this concealer hydrates and brightens the skin as it deposits pigment, ensuring that your texture never looks heavy, dry, or settles into fine lines. Comparable to “shapewear for your face,” according to Tilbury, the radiant finish truly helps lift, contour, and brighten where you need it most.It's truly one of my favorite Charlotte Tilbury products.

Coverage: Full

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide

Pros: Infused with skincare; Radiant finish

Cons: Can separate throughout the day

Our Tester's Review: "I'm a Charlotte girl. Most of my makeup is from her line—I love it, I love it, I love it. Her formulas are the best. I find this concealer to be a bit similar to Cle de Peau in its texture. It has that really creamy, smoothing, and blurring feel. I will say this one is better for short-term wear. I like it for going out to dinner or a big event, but it starts to settle into my lines a bit if I wear it all day." — Randi

The Best Hydrating Concealer for Mature Skin

Sarah Creal Face Flex

If you're in the beauty industry, you know Sarah Creal. She's the product developer who has had her hands in pretty much every big cosmetic line: Victoria Beckham Beauty, Prada, Tom Ford, Bobbi Brown—to name a few. This year, she decided to go out on her own, creating a line specifically for women over 40. The brand's concealer is the unsung hero. It's incredibly hydrating and a little goes an insanely long way; you only need a dot.

Coverage: Full

Finish: Velvet

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, caffeine, aloe leaf extract

Pros: Can be used as a foundation too; brightening

Cons: Only 10 shades to choose from

Our Tester's Review: "When I first looked at this concealer I wasn't sure the shade would match, but it ended up being a really flexible color. I used it all over my face and it evened out my skin tone with very little product; I probably only used about 10 dots for my whole face. It coved dark circles better than anything else I've tried and didn't settle into lines throughout the day. It was very hydrating, too." — Joele

The Best No-Crease Concealer for Mature Skin

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Lift & Flex Hydrating Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid & Caffeine

It's a good sign when you can tell that a concealer was formulated specifically with a mature woman's skin in mind. Such is the case with this Danessa Myricks creation. It contains sodium hyaluronate, which is an ingredient that not only hydrates the skin—but also moves with it, ensuring that the product won't crease as you make facial expressions throughout the day. You'll also find caffeine as a brightening pick me up, and centella asiatica, which will hydrate and soothe redness.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, caffeine

Pros: Great ingredients like caffeine and centella asiatica; hydrating; not too shiny

Cons: Will look cakey if you apply too much; not the most forgiving

Our Tester's Review: "I am pretty low-maintenance (aka lazy) when it comes to concealer, but I may be a believer now. I like the Yummy Skin concealer. The application stick makes it easy and mess-free to apply. Plus, it's lightweight. It provides coverage and brightens up my blemishes, making my tinted moisturizer much smoother. It's hard to find concealers for my skin color because most are a little pasty and wash me out. Yummy was much more natural and subtle." — Amber

The Best Drugstore Concealer for Mature Skin

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Multi-Use Concealer, 148, 1 Count (packaging May Vary)

I’m always asking makeup artists about their go-to drugstore products, and without fail, this Maybelline product always manages to come up. The plush topper is unique, making on-the-go applications incredibly easy. The formula is fragrance and oil-free, and it contains ingredients like goji berry to provide a radiant finish. You’ll get a full 12 hours out of one application—and no under-eye creases.

Coverage: Radiant

Finish: Medium

Key Ingredients: Goji berry, glycerin, dimethicone

Pros: Lightweight; hydrating; easy to use; affordable

Cons: Not great pigment for blemish coverage

Our Tester's Review: "Is it crazy if I say I might like Maybelline for the win? I've tried so many luxury concealers, but I literally got stopped five times today by people to tell me how good my makeup looked! It can feel a little chalky when it dries down, but it doesn't actually look that way in person. It's really blurring and very brightening." — Mindy

The Best Natural-Looking Concealer for Mature Skin

Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer With Caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid

With five-star reviews across the board and a cult-like following, Revealer Concealer is the real deal. It’s so good in fact, that many consumers, including Hailey Bieber, are known to use the formula in place of foundation. “I just love that it’s creamy and hydrating,” the Rhode founder shared in a Vogue Beauty Secrets video. “It leaves this dewy finish on the skin.” She’s right—try it for yourself to see.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Caffeine, hyaluronic acid, arnica

Pros: Contains caffeine for puffiness and arnica for redness; Good for dark circles

Cons: Doesn’t last the whole day

Our Tester's Review: "When I first put this on, I loved it. It covered dark circles and instantly brightened any area I put it. I loved the creamy texture at first, but it was a bit thick, and I found it settling into lines and emphasizing texture throughout the day. I feel like it's great for brightening certain areas on my skin, but not my go-to for under eyes or acne." — Mindy

The Best Luxury Concealer for Mature Skin

Cle de Peau Beauté Radiant Corrector for Eyes Liquid Concealer

Multi-purpose, full-coverage, and luxurious by every sense of the definition, this Cle de Peau concealer will change your makeup routine for the better. Just hear out Malek: “The formula is super buttery and not too thick, so it doesn’t seep into lines. The medium coverage is better for mature skin too because a fuller coverage will actually end up sinking into pores and accentuating wrinkles.”

Coverage: Full

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Color correcting pearl supplements, glycerin, dimethicone

Pros: Great coverage; Very blendable

Cons: Some say it’s drying

Our Tester's Review: "Easily one of the best concealers I've ever tried. It makes me look airbrushed and lasts a full day. I do my makeup at 7 a.m., and this stays on—and looks perfect—until I wash it off at around 8 p.m. It's almost like a blurring filter on my face. It smoothed out any texture or blemishes, too." — Mindy

The Best Full Coverage Concealer for Mature Skin

Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Medium to Full Coverage Concealer

Full-coverage concealers that work with dry and thinning mature skin can be tough to find. But Anastasia Soare, the founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills, set out to make a product that would do just that. The result, Magic Touch Concealer, is a blurring, brightening, and color-correcting concealer that dries down into a second skin finish.

Coverage: Full

Finish: Natural

Key Ingredients: Sunflower seed extract, glycerin, dimethicone

Pros: Great coverage; covers dark circles and blemishes

Cons: Heavy and thick; better for under eyes than whole face

Our Tester's Review: "Figuring out the best way to apply this one was a learning curve. At first I thought it was really heavy and too thick, but I was actually just using too much product. I really only need a tiny drop to cancel out under-eye darkness completely." — Mindy

The Best Concealer for Mature Skin Overall

Tom Ford Shade & Illuminate Concealer

Marie Claire’s Beauty Director Deena Campbell sings this concealer’s praises regularly, so I naturally had to test it out for myself. Long story short: I get why she is this concealer’s number one fan. It maintains a hydrating, radiant texture and finish, while also managing to never settle into fine lines or creases. I use this medium coverage formula under my eyes, on my nose, my chin, on top of blemishes—it’s a do-it-all product.It's one of my favorite Tom Ford makeup products of all time.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, caffeine

Pros: Good for multiple areas; Doesn’t settle into lines

Cons: Expensive

YSL Touche Éclat All-Over Brightening Concealer Pen

Very rarely do we get a glimpse into Meghan Markle’s beauty routine. But, during her Suits days, the Duchess of Sussex shared with Birchbox that this YSL concealer was a staple in her makeup bag. Her tip: “To open up your eyes, apply a highlighter like Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat in the inner corner," Markle said. Given the formula’s radiant finish and antioxidant-infused formula (vitamin E reduces signs of fatigue), this product couldn’t be better for an eye-brightening boost.

Coverage: Light

Finish: Radiant

Key Ingredients: Soothing marigold; Moroccan marigold extract; vitamin E

Pros: Celebrity loved; Creamy formula

Cons: Not the most overage

The Best Longwear Concealer for Mature Skin

Fenty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Longwear Liquid Concealer

While matte and full-coverage typically aren’t what you want for mature skin, Rihanna’s concealer innovation is the exception. It’s able to cover up dark circles, redness, and hyperpigmentation with such a small amount of product (less really is more here) that it actually sits very natural and light on the skin. Plus, it stays on—no fading, no smudging, no transferring—for the entire day.

Coverage: Full

Finish: Matte

Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica, glycerin, dimethicone

Pros: Covers dark circles; Long-wearing

Cons: Can be a little drying

The Best Matte Concealer for Mature Skin

Conseal the Deal Lightweight Concealer

While radiant finishes typically work best on mature skin, Lawless Beauty’s concealer is a great matte option if you’re committed to a shine-free face. It has a soft focus finish that’s capable of blurring over fine lines or pores, rather than drawing attention to the area. I’ve found that this is great on the face, but, as with any matte product, needs to be used very sparingly around the under eye area to avoid creasing.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Matte

Key Ingredients: Caffeine, proprietary antioxidant complex

Pros: Great coverage; Blurring

Cons: Drying

The Best Dark Circle Concealer for Mature Skin

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Flawless Longwear Cream Concealer

Pigment is packed into just a small amount of this natural-finish concealer, making it one of the best for disguising dark circles under the eyes. Two to three dots is all you need to counteract purple blue tones. It works so well in fact, it’s Ana de Armas’ red carpet staple. “It’s incredible, and it’s pretty much all I need on my face,” she previously told Who What Wear.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Natural

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, dimethicone

Pros: Great coverage; Celebrity-loved

Cons: Can crease
