If the beauty gods bestowed you with flawless skin, you'll never truly appreciate the virtues of concealer. For everyone else, though, the stuff is a cosmetic wonder, camouflaging zits, brightening dark circles, and making complexions appear naturally blessed. Of course, not all concealers are created alike—a subpar formula can do more harm than good. But these hardworking versions ensure a smooth, even-looking surface every time.
