Thanks to the magic of a good concealer, you can easily cover up imperfections, even out skin tone, or brighten up your complexion with a quick dab and blend. And there are so many affordable options that you won’t get a stress breakout thinking about how much it’s going to cost you to hide said breakout.

Ahead are 16 of the best drugstore concealers that have got you covered, across a variety of skin tones and needs. So go out and put your best face forward.

Flower Beauty Light Illusion Full Coverage Concealer

Keep dark circles at bay with this illuminating full-coverage drugstore concealer from Flower Beauty that will give you a flawless complexion. The creamy weightless formula contains exclusive blurring pigments that work to conceal discolorations and imperfections. And now for a moment of praise: Not only does this holy grail product last up to 8 hours but it won’t settle into fine lines or creases. For best results, apply with your ring finger in a gentle soft motion or use a concealer brush for a super luxe finish. Flower Beauty’s mission of empowering women to look (and feel) great in their own skin is one that we can get behind. With kids in the picture, a fuss-free makeup routine is really what we’re after here. This customers says it best: “Flower Beauty is a great line of cosmetics from Drew Barrymore for women with older, mature skin. The light illusion full coverage concealer works beautifully to conceal dark spots, bump scars, and [dark circles] under the eyes.”
