Serum Concealers Are the Ultimate Makeup Hack

Fact: the area under your eyes is notoriously difficult to deal with. From fine lines and wrinkles to dark circles, it can be a big problem. So much so that there are oodles of products on the market to smooth, tighten, and brighten the area. Serums are helpful for long-term results, but when you need a quick fix, nothing beats concealer. One swipe and a few dots can instantly cover the issues and erase the signs of a restless night. 

Both products have their benefits. But when combined, serum concealers are the ultimate beauty tool. Instead of simply covering the problem, they work to improve the area over time. Formulated with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and green tea, just to name a few, they treat your undereyes with each swipe. Even better? There are lots of options to choose from. Keep reading to see our top picks.

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Hydrating Face and Body Concealer Serum

This tiny tube packs the power of a high-end product for a fraction of the cost. As part of the brand's Bare With Me line, it's made to deliver a skin-like finish that's naturally radiant. The formula is infused with botanicals like snow mushroom, cica, and green tea to hydrate and smooth the skin. Yet, it has a creamy consistency that offers medium coverage with just one pump. 

Lancôme Care and Glow Serum Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid

Lancôme has always nailed it with its complexion and skincare products, and this concealer is no different. In fact, it blends the two to create a powerful two-in-one. It's formulated with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to treat the signs of aging as it covers dark circles. The result is a radiant finish that's smooth and almost undetectable.

L'Oréal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer

L'Oréal recently revamped the formula of its signature True Match concealer. The original was beloved for its blendable and creamy consistency, but fans will appreciate the skincare ingredients in this tube. Hyaluronic acid and caffeine, for example, hydrate and plump the skin, giving it a brightened look. But the applicator takes the cake. The iron shape deposits the product with precision and smoothly covers dark circles like a dream.

Flower Beauty Get Real Serum Concealer 

Vitamins, natural sunflower seed oil, and shea butter make this concealer unique. Unlike the brand's more full-coverage formula, this has a serum-like texture that's lightweight on the skin. The coverage is on the lighter side, but it's perfect for daily looks and can even be used to brighten your undereyes on no makeup days.
