I’ve been testing quite a few new (to me) concealers and thought I update my blog post with all the formulas that I’m loving. There are some new additions and a few got removed in favor of other formulas I like more. As I’ve gotten older, I need a different kind of concealer that helps to conceal but still keeps my under eye area smooth, won’t settle into fine lines and doesn’t emphasize texture. If you are in the market for a new concealer and you have mature skin, this is the post to bookmark!
Best Concealers for Mature Skin
The Face Flex Concealer and Complexion Enhancer is designed to be a multi-purpose complexion product that moves with your face throughout the day without creasing or fading for up to 12 hours. I personally use it only as a concealer but it can easily be dabbed all over the face and blended out as a light foundation or complexion enhancer. This is creamy and smooth perfection!!! Some concealers claim to be creamy and hydrating but still dry down and make my under eye area look cakey. This does not at all. It’s super blendable but does set after a few minutes. It’s moisturizing and slightly blurring.
The Face Flex Concealer gives medium coverage though can easily be sheered out by applying a smaller amount. For me, it is the perfect amount of coverage and manages to look absolutely flawless on the skin. It gives a nice natural finish that mimics the look of real skin. It’s truly beautiful.
As soon as this was launched, I immediately ordered it. The shade range is amazing (50 colors + 6 correcting concealer shades). And it is formulated to be a serum-like concealer with medium to buildable full coverage. You can instantly feel the serum texture as soon as you swipe it on the skin. It’s incredibly creamy, hydrating and smoothing yet still covers anything and everything I need. It contains biomimetic pigments and texture-perfecting microspheres which gives it a flawless and slightly blurring aspect.
It’s incredibly long-wearing and suitable for all skin types but especially if you struggle with dry under eyes, this formula is perfect! I can see why it has become a favorite amongst makeup artists AND consumers too. Read my full dedicated review post here.
Another serum concealer that I instantly impressed me and would be perfect for dry, textured or mature skin. It provides light to medium coverage in a serum-like consistency with a radiant dewy finish. While it’s somewhat buildable, it’s not meant to be full coverage. The formula has skin mimicking pigments so it does blend in effortlessly and lasts nearly all day. I’ve also tried using it as a quick makeshift foundation and it looks stunning on the skin. I typically will use it only under the eyes and maybe around my nose to conceal any redness. It’s not as blurring as some of the other formulas but still looks skin-like and nearly undetectable.
Much like the skin tint, this concealer gives amazing medium coverage without looking cakey or emphasizing fine lines. The shade range for her concealer is diverse and includes something for every skin tone. There are 20 shades in all to choose from. The concealer is formulated with various skincare ingredients like hyaluronic acid to hydrate, caffeine to reduce puffiness and centella asiatica to moisturize and strengthen the skin barrier.
This was a very new discovery that I tried in late November but it became an instant favorite. The Revitalize Hydra Concealer is a medium coverage hydrating concealer with skincare ingredients. It blends like an absolute dream, doesn’t emphasize fine lines and LASTS ALL DAY! This is one of the longest wearing concealers I have ever tried. Another distinguishing feature of this concealer is the small brush applicator which is different from many traditional doe foot applicators. I love how precise you can be with the brush as it allows me to spot treat areas easily. It melts into the skin and is virtually undetectable while still giving amazing coverage.
I’ve only been testing this concealer for a short time but I had to include it in this list because the formula is that impressive. This is a true blurring formula that gives medium coverage with a satin finish. It gives a soft focus like look to the skin which is perfect for those with texture or fine lines. Additionally, the ILIA Skin Blur Serum Concealer is extremely long wearing and doesn’t require any setting powder to last the entire day. It feels lightweight because of the serum-like texture but still covers everything I need it to.
