The quest for a concealer that works on oily skin types can often be challenging and disappointing, as you find your oils peeking through after mere hours of application.
However, there are definitely concealers that can still do a great job in maintaining a silky matte complexion all day long. Some of the important things to look out for are oil-free, lightweight and waterproof formulas that have better staying power without being greasy.
Here are some of the common tried-and-true formulas that have gotten great reviews!
This oil-free and wax-free stick concealer is definitely a drugstore favourite for many. The lightweight and high-breathability formula goes on creamy with a high definition filter technology that provides a softening and blurring effect. It gives natural and buildable coverage that works well for acne and targeted application.
One of K-beauty’s most well-known and affordable concealers, this liquid formula contains botanical extracts that gives you antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a lightweight, matte and easily blendable formula that can help heal blemishes while providing medium to high coverage. One need work quickly as the formula dries down fast!
With its super-matte finish, this full-coverage concealer is perfect for your heavy-duty covering needs. It contains antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and collagen-boosting peptides that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and uneven skin texture. The drier formula makes it suitable for oily skin types, and can be used to cover blemishes, discolouration and dark circles with a blur effect.
The hype is well-documented with this one, as the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer has consistently been lauded as one of the best concealers in the market. Its medium-to-high buildable formula gives a luminous finish.
As it does not crease, this makes it suitable for covering dark circles, lines and various skin concerns. Great for combination skin as it will not be too drying while still having good staying power for oily skin (of course, setting it helps as well!)
Like the name implies, this Fenty Beauty liquid concealer will help your skin look like a smooth canvas. The lightweight and matte formula can be built up for coverage and provides longwearing creaseless coverage. It does wonders to conceal blemishes and redness while evening out your skin texture, without settling into pores or fine lines.
With ingredients such as hydrolyzed collagen and vitamin C, it is no surprise that this undereye concealer will help treat the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles. Not only those, but it provides suitable coverage without creasing or cracking. It is an award-winning concealer that works well with all undereye imperfections.
As a medicated concealer with 1% salicylic acid, this concealer works well under foundations to cover and heal your blemishes. The gentle and non-oily formula works well for masking pimples and troubled spots while still allowing the skin to breathe. It is best recommended for acne spot coverage, as the formula can be too drying for non-troubled skin.
Recommended for covering redness, broken capillaries and hyperpigmentation, this concealer stick comes with a weightless, airy formula that blends easily. It gives a softer, natural finish that can be used to conceal puffiness and undereye imperfections as well. The formula includes vitamin E to help protect the skin from environmental damage.
Matte, oil-free and waterproof, this full coverage concealer is perfect for withstanding the humid Singaporean weather. It provides long-lasting and shine-free coverage that effortlessly covers scars, blemishes and hyperpigmentation. The formulation contains allantoin to help with blemish healing and microcrystalline cellulose powder for oil control.
