The Best Concealers for Men and How to Use Them

Concealer might be one of the most universal makeup products out there—and for good reason. It fades signs of fatigue, softens redness, and makes skin look more even in seconds. While some formulas are tailored to men, most of them don’t really care who’s using them. The trick is figuring out which one fits your skin and how to apply it without turning it into a whole thing.

Whether you’re going for something subtle or higher coverage, these options deliver. Some even come packed with skincare ingredients for extra hydration. One quick tip: if you’re using it under the eyes, start with a little eye cream to avoid creasing. As for how to apply? Go with what feels natural—your fingers, a sponge, a brush. Just make sure it blends.

From cult favorites to quiet standouts, we rounded up 16 options that do the job and then some.
