If your concealer consistently appears cakey, you should learn about these formulas that look natural.

      I have a complex relationship with concealer. It's my go-to solution for masking dark under-eyes or blemishes, but despite trying countless formulas, I still haven’t found one that stays looking fresh and non-cakey after a few hours. So, when I noticed an increasing number of brands introducing “blurring” formulas, I was instantly interested.

      What I desire is a lightweight, hydrating concealer that elegantly blurs my under-eyes. I’m a big fan of blurring skin tints and foundations, often referring to them as a filter in a bottle. If my concealer could provide a similar effect, it would elevate my makeup game significantly. Thus, I decided to test some of the best options available. Below, you’ll find my curated list of blurring concealers, ranging from new releases to classic favorites, all of which have been tried and tested for a flawless finish on the skin. So, why wait?

      **The Best Blurring Concealers, Tried & Tested**

      **Best Overall:** Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer, £31

      **Best Full-Coverage Concealer:** Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer, £37

      **Best Skincare-Infused Formula:** Ilia Beauty Skin Blur Serum Concealer, £30

      **Best Drugstore Concealer:** TirTir Glide & Hide Blurring Concealer, £13

      **Best Luxury Concealer:** Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer, £34

      1. **Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer**

      **Best overall**

      Charlotte Tilbury

      Pros: High coverage, hydrating, chic packaging

      Cons: A small amount is sufficient

      This newly launched concealer should definitely be on your radar. The Airbrush Flawless Blur Concealer acts like a blurring skin filter, offering a lightweight yet high-coverage finish that effectively conceals dark circles. Infused with hyaluronic acid and squalane, it feels wonderfully hydrating, but a little goes a long way, so to avoid creasing, start with a small amount and build from there. Other than that, I have no critiques.

      2. **Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer**

      **Best full-coverage concealer**

      Hourglass

      Pros: Good coverage, easy to apply with doe-foot applicator, creamy formula, creates a blurring effect

      Cons: Needs careful application to avoid creasing

      Next is the original blurring concealer. I’ve written a full review on the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer because I adore it. Its creamy, nourishing texture works beautifully on both blemishes and under the eyes, delivering an outstanding finish. Although it provides full coverage and is often my choice for days when I wear heavier makeup, it never feels heavy on my skin. Instead, it delivers a smoothing effect due to microspherical powders that blur and brighten the complexion.

      3. **Ilia Beauty Skin Blur Serum Concealer**

      **Best skincare-infused formula**

      Ilia Beauty

      Pros: Hydrating, serum-like texture, diffuses dark circles and pores

      Cons: Not as much coverage as other options

      Ilia Beauty centers skincare in its products, so I was eager to try this concealer. Much like the Hourglass option, it has a creamy and lightweight texture (packed with peptides) and doesn’t cling to dry skin. The formula also includes microspheres for that sought-after diffused finish, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it blurred my dark circles and pores. While the coverage is slightly lighter than the previous option, it is still ideal for use on other areas.

      4. **TirTir Glide & Hide Blurring Concealer**

      **Best drugstore concealer**

      TirTir

      Pros: Two concealers in one, lightweight and blurring formulas, easy application

      Cons: More shade options would be nice

      This innovative drugstore concealer has a unique design. It resembles a lipstick in stick form that you can apply directly to the skin, and it cleverly incorporates a liquid concealer in the base of the bullet. The velvety balm applies smoothly, effectively blurring texture in seconds. I use it on the center of my face where my pores are most prominent, followed by the liquid concealer on my under-eyes and blemishes. Both formats feel weightless and don’t dry out the skin, and since using it, I’ve replaced several other concealers in my makeup bag.

      5. **Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer**

      **Best luxury concealer**

      Dior

      Pros: Extremely hydrating, seamless finish

      Cons: Provides less coverage

      Although this Dior product isn’t specifically marketed as a blurring concealer, I personally consider it one of the best available. It’s remarkably lightweight and hydrating, lasting for hours on my driest areas. The creamy formula absorbs
