You’re going to love me for this. I know you are. A few weeks ago I hit you with the best foundation for those of us with skin. And nooooow, we’re going to rap about the best concealers for dark skin. Aren’t you excited? I’m excited.
Be excited like me.
And girl. First of all, can we talk about how challenging it is to find decent concealers for dark skin? It’s almost impossible. We’ve got toilets that play music but a brown girl can’t find good concealer options? It’s tragic, really. And sure, I mean…maaaaaybe you can find some choices if you want to shell out $20+ for a concealer but I know a lot of y’all aren’t about that life. And whew! This wasn’t easy, but I did it.
Another exciting thing about these picks? They’re all cruelty-free! Call it a buzz word if you’d like, but I’m trying to make a real effort at being a bit more conscious in that department. So that’s good, right?

I love how many concealers you’ve found for dark skin. When reviewing I’m always looking to see how deep a brand gets and it’s sad that not everyone goes dark enough.
I really need to try that Milani I hear such amazing things!
