What the gurus are saying

This serum concealer earns consistent praise for its thin, skin-like texture that doesn't cake or feel heavy, even with layered coverage. What stands out is how well it works for those who dislike thick formulas: it delivers visible coverage for discoloration and redness while staying hydrated and blendable, and reviewers note it works just as well as many high-end alternatives at a fraction of the price. For best results, those new to makeup may want to choose a shade that matches their skin tone rather than a brightening one, so it works across the whole face without looking overly highlighted.

"I've always loved my NYX concealer, when I run out of this I always restock on Amazon. This one's a little more airbrushed looking, which also blends out quickly and gives a little more soft focus."
Top Pick: concealer
All 7 takes from Allie Glines
I was losing faith in the drugstore.. UNTIL NOW 😍
"The color is great, it comes in many different shades, so if there's a certain color you're looking for for your skin tone or for whatever thing you're trying to kind of correct, they have more shades. But this one is great for me, my skin tone, and brightening up the eye area. You can already see how much better my eyes look. I almost don't need concealer."
I’ve Tried THOUSANDS—The Drugstore Makeup I Always Repurchase
"This is the best concealer from the drugstore hands down in my opinion. This is what works for me better than so many of my high-end concealers. I love it because it just looks like skin but you still can build the coverage. It's so stunning and very hydrating, looks especially nice underneath the eyes, and it just never fails me. I love that you can build the coverage without it looking or feeling cakey or heavy on the skin, or you can sheer things out. You can actually use this all over the skin if you're in a pinch and you don't want to wear a foundation or a skin tint. You can just buff this over the areas that you want to even out and it works really well as kind of like a skin tint as well. I love this concealer so much and I would never be able to live without it. It's so good."
Let's Reuse Our Makeup Together 😍 (I love this look!!)
"I'm going to reach for my NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum and I'm going to put it on the back of my hand. This is going to help us kind of create a little more structure and have a little more precision. We're going to brighten up the eyes and also take it under the cheekbones. We're using a little bit of product with a lot more precision to brighten up the center and a bit on the chin."
Unexpected Holiday Makeup That Looks Expensive ✨
"It's been a minute since I've worn this concealer and I forgot how much I love this. It looks so good. It's a serum concealer so it does kind of have a little more of like a skin-like finish. But you can build the coverage, which I love. And it kind of plumps the skin, too, which I also love."
BEST of the BEST Affordable Makeup with Johnny Ross
"This is the next Bare With Me Concealer Serum. If we didn't talk about how incredible this is, just the littlest bit in there and it brightens up so so good. I've never had a concealer in my whole life stick into my routine the way this one did without a doubt. High-end and drugstore, yes, I love it."
The Ultimate 2024 Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit!
"For a starter kit at the drug store, this NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum is my favorite concealer ever. I wear the shade light, and what I would recommend if you're just starting out is choosing a concealer that more closely matches your skin tone than one that's super brightening, just so that you can use it all over. If you're just getting into makeup and you have acne, I would recommend getting something that will be able to both cover your blemishes if you want to and also something that will help conceal the under eye area. What this does when it more closely matches your skin tone is you're able to conceal blemishes without them being highlighted, but when you do go around the eye area it doesn't look as obvious and makeup-y, you're not going to get a super highlighted and brightening effect. I like this for every day to just use something that matches. The shade light for me is perfect. I also love to apply a bit on the eyelids just to cancel out any discoloration."

"Concealer, I really, really like this. This is something I would consider putting into my everyday makeup because it has that skin-like texture. It looks like skin. It has this shine to it. It doesn't look cakey on the skin, which some concealers can cake up and look a bit like old school makeup. But this is really, really nice."
Approved
"The NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum is $12 for 0.32 ounces, so you get slightly more product for a more than slightly less price. Concealer serum to me sounds more lightweight."

"It's giving pretty good coverage. I feel like it's going to be really hydrating, it's lightweight, it's not super heavy feeling. It definitely is covering like if you look at the difference from this side of this eye you can definitely see all the purplish discolorations under this eye and this eye it's definitely covered and concealed. It never tugs at the skin of my under eye."

"Another one that I tried that I liked a lot was the NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum. This is a serum concealer, so it's going to be more hydrating. I didn't find this one to be drying at all, it didn't settle in my wrinkles. It didn't wear as long as I wanted it to, but it was a good concealer."
Approved
"This is the Nyx serum concealer. This is very very thin. It has caffeine. This is not a very heavy coverage one and I don't personally go in for a lot of heavy coverage so that it works for me. I've just used very little of it and I have just color corrected my face a little bit, which looks very very natural."
