What Makes It Unique
The Hydrating Camo Concealer is a long-wear liquid concealer known for delivering crease-resistant, full coverage with a satin finish, while also feeling lightweight on the skin.
It’s specially formulated to hydrate, featuring sodium hyaluronate for moisture retention and rose flower water for soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
Clean, Inclusive, and Ethical
This concealer is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and Leaping Bunny certified. It’s also non-comedogenic, and free from parabens, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals.
Available in around 25 shades, it offers options across warm, cool, and neutral undertones, catering to a wide spectrum of skin tones.
Performance & Texture
The hydrating formula is creamy and blendable, offering a more forgiving application window compared to its original matte counterpart.
Real-World Feedback
New York Post hailed it as a smarter, more affordable alternative to high-end options like the $46 Trish McEvoy concealer, emphasizing its wide shade range, moisturizing texture, and user-friendly doe-foot applicator.
On Reddit, users offered mixed feedback:
> "It's pretty full coverage … very little creasing" — applauding its dry-skin finish
"It creases soooo bad … clung to dry patches" — underscoring the need for prep or setting depending on skin type.
Final Thoughts
What Works Well: Hydrating, full-coverage satin finish; extensive shade range; ethical formula; budget-friendly (around $7–8), and long-wearing.
