Let me tell you—I’m incredibly fussy when it comes to concealer. A fair few have come by the beauty desk over the years, but only a select make it home into my makeup bag. I want a concealer to effortlessly concealer my dark circles without settling into fine lines and creasing throughout the day. It also needs to be reasonably long-wearing and not look obvious on the skin. I also favour a hydrating, dewy formula that makes my skin look radiant and not flat (that’s except if I’m looking for a concealer for concealing a spot, in which I need a matte, high coverage formula to do the job). In short, most concealers don’t meet my demands. That was until I tried Kosas Revealer Concealer.
Hailey Bieber is a fan of Kosas, using many of its products, including the Revealer Concealer.
Hailey Bieber is often seen on TikTok getting ready with Kosas products, and I’ve spied her using the concealer on a couple of occasions. The brand also comes highly loved by US beauty fans. The brand hasn’t been widely available in the UK until recently, so I finally got my hands on the concealer to try myself.
I tried the Kosas Revealer Concealer in shade 3.20
This concealer is one for those who love a dewy, radiant finish to their concealers. The formula is very creamy and hydrating, thanks to the addition of moisturising hyaluronic acid, plumping peptides and caffeine, which even helps to reduce puffiness around the eye areas (win). It has a flexible doe-foot applicator which makes swiping it onto the skin really easy.
I tried the concealer here on top of my Kosas Revealer Skin Foundation, using it under my eyes, around my nose and on my chin, where I had some redness and blemishes.
The concealer is effortlessly blendable. I used a makeup sponge to pat the product into my skin, and I found that it melted into my skin really well, concealing and leaving a healthy, glowy finish. I would say it offers medium coverage, but you could definitely layer this up if you wanted more coverage on certain areas.
The dry-down isn’t sticky or slippy, it stays in place and holds up well throughout the day without settling into fine lines too much. I’d liken this to Glossier’s Stretch Concealer, but with more coverage and staying power, making it great for under the eyes to brighten dark circles, conceal redness or blemishes or just offer extra coverage where you need it. However I think my favourite thing about it is the glow it gives my skin; it really gives a radiant finish. So, if you have dry or combination skin this would work well for you, but if you’re on the oily side, you might need something for mattifying for slicker areas, but it works brilliantly around the eyes.
The concealer will be staying within my rotation of concealers, along with the other Kosas products I’ve tried (spoiler alert, they’re amazing too). Shop more of my favourite Kosas products below.
The foundation is equally as good as the concealer, leaving the skin with a dewy and medium-coverage yet buildable glow.
This spray-on serum is great for makeup prep as well as refreshing it throughout the day. It’s like a tall glass of water for your skin.
This might be the most perfect lip oil; it hydrates and coats lips in a non-sticky veil of colour with impressive pigment payoff.
