Is it just us, or do blemishes seem to pop up out of nowhere when it's the least convenient? But they don't have to ruin your day if you have the right concealer for the job. While you might be tempted to use the same liquid formula for both under-eye bags and blemishes, we'd actually advise against it. The rule of thumb: Creams are better for blemishes as they’re less likely to wear off, while liquid concealer is best to use on under-eye areas because its lighter consistency won't cake and settle into fine lines as easily. Now that that's cleared up, here are seven cream concealers that make blemishes non-existent.
