  Everything that is magical about makeup can be summed up in one word: concealer. The right concealer can whisk away pimples and sleep-deprived dark circles in seconds and make you suddenly, miraculously even-toned and flawless—all while making you look like you're not wearing a stitch of makeup! It's just getting that "right concealer" part down that can be tricky.

• CONCEALER FAQS, ANSWERED:

• WHAT IS THE BEST CONCEALER MAKEUP?

  There are basically three levels of formulas. Ones that provide light coverage and light-reflecting benefits like our Instant Age Rewind Concealer; medium-coverage creamy formulas like Fit Me Concealer that cover up moderate discoloration and pimples; and long-wear formulas like Superstay Full Coverage, Long-Lasting Under-Eye Concealer that give seamless, major coverage to anything you apply it to.

  All three formulas are multi-purpose and great for under eye circles, zits and discoloration. It's a personal preference as to what level of coverage you like and what feels best on skin. Concealer is very personal, a successful match depends on your skin tone, texture, needs and personal preferences. Keep in mind, what works for your mom and best friend might not work for you and vice versa.

• WHERE DO I APPLY CONCEALER?

  Apply exactly on what you want to conceal rather than the area around it. Start with a small amount of product at first—you can always add more later—and blend or tap color into skin with your ring finger or a makeup sponge. The heavier the coverage, the more blending is required for a seamless finish.

• CAN I USE CONCEALER WITHOUT FOUNDATION? / DO I PUT MAKEUP OVER CONCEALER?

  Feel free to wear concealer on its own, or layered with other skin-evening products like foundation, bb cream or powder. If you're using concealer and foundation or BB cream, apply the foundation/bb cream first, then the concealer. If you're wearing powder, apply concealer first, then powder.

• WHAT IS THE BEST UNDER EYE CONCEALER?

  With its wide spectrum of shades and easy application, Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer is the best concealer for dark circles under eyes - it's one of our favorite secret makeup hacks.
