The Best Drugstore Concealers Without Toxic Ingredients

The best drugstore concealers do multiple jobs. They can make you look more awake by erasing under eye circles. Hide acne or hyper-pigmentation. Help highlight your brow area. Work as a reverse lip liner. Or even replace the need to use foundation at all. Here’s something a good concealer shouldn’t do: contain potentially-harmful ingredients or formulations that put your health at risk. Happily, four of the best drugstore concealers get a safe rating of 1 or 2 in the Environmental Working Group (EWG)’s Skindeep Database. You can feel — and look — good while using any of these. Plus, they’re all available on Amazon and are safe for pregnancy.
