Unless you're cool with looking like a melting candle.

Don't you love that feeling when your concealer melts and slips into every crease and crevice of your face by noon? (Oh, and do you also hate ice cream, puppies, and fun?) A really good concealer is crucial. It's honestly my favorite makeup product, like ever. A swipe under your eyes will wake your face up like a warm cup of coffee does your body in the morning. And patting a concealer on top of a problem area will make you forget it's even there—it's like magic. Now that jumping on a Zoom or FaceTime call is unavoidable and we're wearing masks for the safety of ourselves and others, concealer comes into play even more. If you're into that whole long-lasting-makeup thing, you'll be pleased to know that we've rounded up the absolute best drugstore concealers that actually stay put from the moment you blend them on. These winners make price tags look pointless. Click through for our favorite concealers you can find at your local drugstore (and buy in bulk).

This Drugstore Dupe to a Cult Concealer
16HR Camo Concealer
e.l.f. Cosmetics ulta.com

If you know me, you know that I love Tarte Shape Tape Concealer ($27), and have for years. But what you don't know is that I just discovered that this $5 drugstore dupe that truly gives it a run for its money. For one thing, you get so, so much concealer for $5. More importantly, it doesn't crease at all and will stay on your face for an eternity. Okay, I'm a living being, so I can't say that for sure. But I do have a tendency to go dancing until the sun comes up, and this concealer held up for many hours.

This Blendable Concealer
RE:VIVE Concealer Cream
Haley's haleysbeauty.com

I'm 100 percent obsessed with this concealer—it's literally $15 but makes my stressed-out skin look like a hundred bucks. To spare you an essay, here's the short and sweet reason I'm sold: The formula is phenomenal. It's so incredibly soft and creamy, it goes on like a second skin. I can skip the extra step of reaching for a makeup sponge or brush, because my finger does the job in five seconds flat.

This Shade-Inclusive Concealer
Para Mi Concealer
CAI target.com

CAI Para Mi is a new makeup brand meant to fill a void and cater to Latina customers. Founder Ralph Mandil wanted to make quality and accessible products made specially for Latina women. How a-m-a-z-i-n-g. This cruelty-free concealer works for olive, yellow, and brown undertones—and the super creamy consistency of this concealer makes blending feel like a breeze.

This Semi-Matte Concealer
Concealer Stick
Black Radiance walmart.com

Usually, concealers and under-eyes don't mix, thanks to the zillions of fine lines that suddenly appear the second you start applying. But this creamy, castor oil–based stick glides over dark circles without caking into creases, and stays semi-matte all day long.

This No-Crease Concealer
Fitme! Concealer
Maybelline target.com

This no-crease concealer is full-coverage, crazy long-lasting, and surprisingly hydrating—plus, it's an almost exact clone of the iconic Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, but at half the price.

This Buildable Concealer
Second to None Cover Cream

Use a damp makeup sponge to blend a thin layer of this green tea–based concealer under your eyes, or grab a skinny concealer brush to hone in on bumps and red marks. Either way, the long-wear formula doesn't budge once it sets, so you can go as sheer—or as heavy—as you want.
