Concealer is the one makeup product that never takes a day off and always (always!) comes through for us. Whether we’ve stayed up a few hours too late, have natural under-eye discoloration that seems to love us more than we love it, or are dealing with typical skin tone unevenness, a great concealer will come to the rescue and help make our skin look more even and radiant.
But when mature skin meets concealer, a few unpredictable things can happen, depending on the formulation you use. Many concealers are simply too thick for mature skin and can highlight fine lines and wrinkles. These concealers will throw a spotlight on the skin’s texture so that, instead of creating a smooth base, they identify each and every pore and line and tell the world, “here we are!”
The solution to this isn’t to not wear concealer — it’s to find a better concealer for mature skin.

One of our favorite makeup artists and social media celebs — Risa Does Makeup — never gate-keeps when it comes to great makeup finds. When she took to TikTok to sing the praises of three specific brands of concealer for mature skin, we took notes. “They are all crease-resistant,” she says, adding that they all feature extensive shade range options and come in buildable medium coverage formulas. Here are the three she loves.
1. Givenchy Prisme Libre Skin-Caring Concealer
This luxury-brand concealer comes in 24 shades and has adjustable medium coverage. Shades are separated into three undertone categories: warm, cool, and neutral. It’s waterproof but provides intense hydration and promises that it will last on the skin for 24 hours.
Reviewers rave about this concealer, with one writing: “I really like this concealer, it's non cakey and gives a radiant payoff. I have been using it all over my face, in place of foundation. It's also great to spot conceal and works well under the eye. My under eyes tend to get really dry, but I this concealer is pretty hydrating!”
You can buy it here for $39.
2. Kulfi Main Match Concealer
This medium-coverage foundation comes in 21 shades. It contains a bevy of great-for-skin ingredients like amla fruit extract, which is an antioxidant, hydrating saffron flower extract and rosehip extract, and soothing licorice root extract. It provides a radiant finish and said to be crease-free.
One reviewer wrote: “i like how nicely this concealer blends into the skin. it gives a natural finish, and somehow is flexible and doesn't set in fine lines. i will definitely repurchase!”

3. Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer
With an astounding selection of 50 shades, this concealer by Natasha Denona is clearly one to beat when it comes to matching your skin tone and undertone. But it also contains two powerful ingredients: capsicum annuum leaf that reduces puffiness and firms the skin and portulaca grandiflora, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant. It’s vegan, talc-free, and cruelty-free.
According to one reviewer: “Had to write another review because the more I use it, the better it gets! The coverage is amazing for such little product needed. There is some creasing but compared to other products it’s significantly less. If the foundation is anything like this product, sign me up!!”
