Category: Beauty > Concealer. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 296 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Jul 2018 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which concealer gives full coverage?

**Short answer:** NYX Bare With Me Serum Concealer has the best record for full coverage: 29 of 31 reviewers said it covered what they wanted covered. The gaps are small, since every concealer here lands between 77% and 94%, so creasing, cakey finish, dryness and shade match tell them apart better than coverage does. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser has the weakest record here at 24 of 31, with 23% of its reviews saying the coverage isn't enough.

**What stands out:** Creasing is where the field splits: 13% of COVERGIRL reviews, 12% of L'Oréal Paris reviews and 10% of e.l.f. reviews mention it, while 22% of NYX reviews say it doesn't crease.
