Researched. We have not used this one long enough to give you a verdict, and we would rather say so than invent one. What follows is how it works, who it suits, and what it will not do. When we have used it properly, this page carries the verdict and the date.

e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer

Concealer has two jobs: under the eyes, and on spots and redness. They want different things, and a hydrating concealer like this one from e.l.f. is made with the under-eye area in mind.

Hydrating, satin finish

Under the eyes the skin is thin and dry. Matte concealers can cling to fine lines there. A hydrating concealer with a satin finish moves with the skin and looks smoother. It still gives full coverage.

How much to use

Less than you think. A full-coverage concealer works best in a thin layer, just where you need it. Too much is what causes creasing.

How to apply it

• Moisturize first, especially under the eyes.
• Dot it where the shadow is darkest, usually at the inner corner.
• Blend with a ring finger or a damp sponge, tapping, not rubbing.
• Set lightly with a little powder pressed in, if you crease.

Choosing a shade

Under the eyes, choose a shade close to your skin or one shade lighter. For spots, match your skin exactly. Each shade has its own Amazon listing.

On spots

Thin layer, tapped on with a small brush, then a little powder on top. A creamy formula is less likely to cling to dry patches.

Who it suits

Dry or normal under-eyes, anyone whose concealer creases, and people who want full coverage without a dry look.

What it will not do

It will not stay perfectly in place on very oily lids without powder. It will not change dark circles themselves. And too thick a layer will crease, whatever the formula.
