The 12 Best Concealers for Oily Skin

With a perforated plush applicator, you can glide on this Smashbox Studio Skin concealer’s creamy consistency. Even though oily skin and cream makeup doesn’t always go together, this dermatologist-tested formula is oil-free with 24-hour buildable coverage that’s non-acnegenic so that you won’t get breakouts. You’ll get a luxurious natural finish that color-corrects hyperpigmentation, diminishes dark circles, and reduces redness while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles without settling in. With over 28 shades with complimentary undertones to choose from, you’ll get an all-day flawless look like you just stepped out of a photoshoot studio session.

Looking for an affordable, full-coverage concealer without shine? E.l.f.’s 16HR Camo Concealer gives a highly pigmented matte finish that dries quickly and won’t settle into the creases on your face. The large doe foot applicator gives you control of the creamy formula to sculpt, contour, and highlight the curves of your face. The specialty ingredient for oily skin is Kaolin Clay to help control excess oil and shine. In contrast, skin-loving (and non-comedogenic) avocado oil enables you to balance the moisture levels your skin still needs. Though the five shades complement different undertones, these concealers run lighter, so reference the bottle image for the best matching.
