Concealer is the best weapon against the dark line under the eyes and different blemishes.
This is a beauty secret known to celebrities and influencers, whose hectic routines demand a reliable ally in their beauty arsenal.
For many, a trusty concealer, coupled with favorite make-up essentials, such as lipstick and eye-brow kit, is enough.
On TV shows and during photo shoots, concealer contributes a lot to one's flawless appearance.
And we can achieve that on ordinary days, too.
To help you find your perfect concealer, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) lists six celebrity-approved concealers.
NARS RADIANT CREAMY CONCEALER
WHO LOVES THIS?
Jelly Eugenio, Lauren Reid, Coleen Garcia
WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT?
Celebrity make-up artist Jelly Eugenio likes using the NARS Radiant Concealer on his clients as it gives hydration under the eyes.
So it doesn’t only conceal dark circles but makes the eye area look fresh, too.
Coleen Garcia swears by it because it "suits dry skin."
The concealer also has Multi-Active Botanical Blend that nourishes the skin to give it that moisturized effect.

Strokes Spot Veil Concealer
WHO LOVES THIS CONCEALER?
Heart Evangelista, Marj Maroket
WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT?
Heart Evangelista's trick to hiding not just the dark circles on her eyes (if she has any) but also the hives is by blending Strokes Beauty Lab's spot veil concealer and green color corrector.
In an interview, she said, "I honestly love the green [corrector] and concealer. I get a lot of hives. Actually, today, I have so much, but you can't see it. You can see the bumps, but you can't see them at all.
"Because my make-up artist always like it mixed with my concealer, and it's perfect, seamless. And you don't have to cover your whole face, just the certain spots."
Meanwhile, Marj Maroket, in her TikTok review, mentioned that Strokes claims that its concealer can cover up tattoos.
The long-lasting medium to full-coverage concealer doesn’t need to be applied heavily to enjoy its full effect.
It also feels lightweight, and has skin-care ingredients, like caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.

Who loves this concealer?
Heart Evangelista, Danica Sotto, Alexa Illacad
Why you should try it?
If you want a full-coverage concealer, which has been tried and tested for years, go for Naturactor.
In an interview with PEP.ph at the Marie France 38th anniversary event, Danica Sotto praised the reliability of this brand, highlighting its powdery finish that remains crease-free.
In a GRWM video with Heart Evangelista, she talked about how she loved using this concealer to cover her hives.
“I’ve been using it since I was 18 years old. I remember the first make-up artist also I worked with. His names is Berns Tuenas.
"He would put this one me. They put it all over the face before, but I just like to put it around my nose because I just want to cover up the redness and discoloration.
"And it kinda makes your nose..., appear smaller and cleaner so it looks nicer.”
