Where these numbers come from

The 7 products ranked here carry 85,576 reviews at Ulta and Sephora. We searched them for shade matching on olive skin and read the newest matching reviews, up to 40 per product and store, posted between Sep 2009 and Sep 2026.

A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.

Ulta also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. They run much more positive than store reviews of the same products (across 19 products with both, 76% of brand-site reviewers said the product solved the problem, against 55% of Ulta shoppers), so we show them on product cards but never count them.

Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.

Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.

Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.

An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.

Questions buyers ask

Which concealer is a good match for olive skin?

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer ranks first. Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer follows at 21 of 23, then MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Concealer at 15 of 16, which has a higher share but fewer shoppers behind it.

How do I choose a concealer shade for olive skin?

Shoppers described a miss as a shade that was off in undertone. Shade names and ranges change, so test shades in daylight. Where a brand offers them, look for neutral or olive-labeled shades.

Which of these concealers are sold on Amazon?

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer have official Amazon listings, sold by the brand or by Amazon itself. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is the best pick sold on Amazon. Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer and Kosas Revealer Concealer are sold there through third-party sellers, not by the brand. For NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, MAKE UP FOR EVER Full Cover Concealer and Benefit Boi-ing Brightening Concealer, we could not confirm an Amazon listing.

Which of these concealers cover dark circles?

Shoppers praise how well some of these concealers cover dark circles or spots, at 49% of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer reviews, 48% of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer reviews and 47% of Benefit Boi-ing Industrial Strength Concealer reviews. Those shares count every review of a product, not just the shoppers who stated an outcome.
