Can Confirm: These Cult Drugstore Concealers Are Worth So Much More Than Their $6 Price Tags

"When your base consists of only some tinted moisturizer and concealer like mine does, you really need your products to put in the work. My ideal concealer needs to lighten, conceal, and correct. When the tube I had been using ran out, I decided to switch up my line up and add the very affordable 16HR Camo Concealer ($6) to my routine. After all, at only $6, what could I lose, right?

Turns out, the answer is nothing — if anything, I gained a new favorite concealer and flawless-looking skin with every wear. I have oily skin, so I like that this particular formula is oil-balancing and leaves behind a matte finish. I apply it under my eyes to lighten the shadows, around my nose to conceal redness, on my chin to correct the hyperpigmentation there, and then use it to spot correct any blemishes (in this case, the healing pimples on my forehead and nose). It never feels heavy or looks creased or cakey, even after a full day's wear." — Stephanie Nguyen, style editor
