Concealers that are formulated for dry skin usually have hydrating and moisturizing ingredients in addition to their main use: concealing perfections. Coverage will vary from light all the way to full coverage, while some start at medium coverage and are buildable to full. Consistencies also vary — some offer lightweight formulas while others are thick and creamy. Thicker formulas tend to require you to use very little to get good coverage. Many brands now offer a wide range of shade options for super fair skin or super dark skin, and everything in between with different undertones as well. However, some brands still only offer a handful of shades.
