Cream Concealer & Color Corrector

Concealer is available in several forms, offering various levels of coverage. Cream concealer is generally thicker than liquid concealer and may reduce the appearance of dark spots and other kinds of blemishes more effectively while still feeling light on your skin. Hydrating products, such as Neutrogena Radiant Cream Concealer, include vitamin E and other nourishing ingredients that prevent dryness, helping you achieve a dewy-looking complexion made popular by Korean skin care routines. 

Cream-based products also work well on oily skin. Many of the best cream concealers for this skin type feature mattifying ingredients that absorb oils to help eliminate excess shine. These products can assist with maintaining a clean, fresh appearance throughout the day. 

Choosing the right shade of concealer can help ensure the product works to enhance the radiance of your skin without being noticeable. Generally, if you already use a foundation, you can match the shade to your concealer to quickly determine which product may be right for your needs. You might want to use a slightly darker shade to cover acne and certain other blemishes or a brighter hue to minimize the appearance of dark eye circles. Consider trying a cream concealer palette to have multiple shades available to adjust for almost any kind of blemish. 

If you're buying a cream concealer for the first time, you can do a few things to simplify the process. First, compare the color of the product to your skin color, and try to match it as closely as possible to ensure it's not too light or dark. Then, compare the tone against your skin. Cool-toned skin usually looks pinkish with veins that appear bluer, while warm-toned skin may have an olive or sun-kissed appearance and greenish-looking veins. Match the color and tone as closely as possible for the best coverage. 

Concealer works best when applied onto a clean, smooth base, so it's helpful to wash with a face cleanser and apply a moisturizer. Take a small amount of concealer, and tap it onto blemishes using a fingertip or concealer brush, adding additional layers if needed. Working slowly and using minimal product helps give a better finish and can reduce the risk of creasing or flaking later in the day.
