What the gurus are saying

This concealer earns consistent praise for blending seamlessly into skin and delivering full coverage that looks filtered and flawless under the eyes, though it reads heavier than some alternatives and needs careful shade matching to avoid looking dark or ashy. Gurus who love it highlight how creamy and self-setting it is, making it versatile enough to sheer out for lighter wear or build up for complete coverage. The main thing to watch if you have fine lines: apply sparingly around the eye area, since layering it heavily can settle into wrinkles and emphasize them rather than smooth them out.

"I'm going to use Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer, one of my favorites, and this is in the color cream. And just do the two dot technique. And just tap it in. And I'll just put the residual over my mobile lid concealer set."

BEST of 2025 Skincare & Makeup for Mature Skin (50+ Beauty Picks)
"I've been reaching for Hourglass, my longtime favorite. This is their Veil concealer. I think it looks beautiful under mature eyes. You do have to prep your eyes if you have crepey under eyes. But honestly, that's the one I've been reaching for all year long."

"The Veil concealer is beautiful. Blends into mature skin without clumping up in your under eye lines or in your eye crinkles on the outside. You can get a beautiful minimalist makeup look using Hourglass products. My belief is that less is more as we move into our mature years. I will say when I used this, I did have to do a lot more skin prep, a lot more moisturizing than I did. So skin prep is really important if you want a mature makeup look to look glowing."

"I'm going to use The Hourglass Vanish Concealer, it's one of my absolute favorites. My Hourglass concealer is in the color Cream, which is a great color match for my skin tone, and I'm just going to tap it in. Using your finger is a great way to apply concealer if you want the concealer to really become one with the skin."

"I have been enjoying the Hourglass concealer. It's a little bit heavier but again if you shear it out and don't use too much it's a really nice lightweight hydrating concealer. I do powder it down. [...] The concealer just sort of brightens the concealer and sets it if you have a heavier concealer that you're worried about creasing."

"This is the more full coverage Hourglass, I wouldn't say it's full coverage but it's a bit more coverage than the very serum texture of the bye-bye dark spots. [...] This is my everyday concealer look. [...] I'm a minimalist makeup girl, I don't wear much makeup, a dab of concealer in the morning just to get rid of the redness or if I'm having allergies is all I do. And the key is you have to let your concealer dry down."

"The concealer is a winner. I like the weight of this concealer, it's super lightweight and doesn't look like it's going to do too much creasing. You're not going to ever get a concealer I don't think on mature skin to not crease all day long, but so far I like how this one performs. It's a nice lightweight concealer, so you can definitely put it over color correction."

"It's like Karma Hourglass Concealer. This is what I use. [...] And there are so many shades to choose from. [...] It should just be like maybe a shade lighter than your natural skin tone because you don't want it to look like weird raccoon eyes."

"This is from Hourglass. This is I think one of the best concealers ever made. It's pricey. Hourglass is pricey. But something that has changed with my concealer because I have crows feet is that I don't bring it over here really anymore. I used to all the time. [...] I do not want it sinking into my crows feet. That's truly the issue is I feel like my crows feet, the more product I put there, the worse it's going to look."

"I love that concealer, I'm a huge fan of it. It's like the equivalent of a full coverage, flawless foundation it's like that in a concealer form and it looks so beautiful under your eyes. You need it, I need it. You have full-on coverage, it looks so smooth. [...] It's one of my favorites. It's a solid concealer. [...] I recommend this formula all the time. [...] If you're looking for a flawless, full coverage concealer, I like it under the eye. [...] It's like a miracle on your eye, it's like smoothing, flawless perfection. I think it's worth every penny. [...] Professionals rave about this one as well. There are a lot of concealers that are really popular that have really crappy undertones, but this one just has beautiful undertones. It works so well. They're easy to mix, they're easy to apply, they blend on like skin."

"This concealer has been my holy grail for so many years. I've tried all the new ones thinking that maybe there is something better, but alas there is not. The coverage is amazing. You can thin it out for lighter application or bring it up to full coverage. My under eyes look filtered and the effect it gives is unmatched. It's like being under a ring light in real life. I also love that it is self-setting. You truly do not need to use much powder unless you want to just be light-handed."

TRYING NEW MAKEUP 😍 ...this powder...
"This concealer is so viral for some reason, it just hasn't stuck into my routine. It's so pretty, and as I'm putting it on I can like see why people really like it. Honestly, maybe it's because I haven't figured out the right shade for me. You know how sometimes that kind of just doesn't make your makeup look quite right if it's not the right color. This one's like too dark, so it's definitely not as light of a shade as I normally go for."
Nikki La Rose Does My Makeup!!! 😱
"This is one of my all-time favorite concealers. I love love love this concealer. The shade is very neutral. I've also used this concealer to highlight certain areas, between the brows. I am a light pressure girly, which I think is great because I feel it's so easy to overdo it, especially with concealer. This is where I like to clean up the nose contour, and that's why I worry about how it's applied because this is going to do majority of the sculpting in a more natural way."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
