All of our favourite foundation and concealer duos for flawless skin

Thoughtfully formulated for oilier complexions, Born This Way Foundation uses coconut water to keep hydration levels up without causing greasiness. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid keeps skin plump and Alpine Rose creates a lovely brightening effect. 

More than just disguising dark circles, this hardworking concealer covers spots, scarring, or pigmentation. It works effectively on its own, or you can mix with your moisturiser for a lightweight skin tint. 

Uoma has an outstanding range of foundation shades, in custom formulas that fulfil the subtler needs of varying skin tones (dark brown, brown, deep tan, olive, fair and very fair). With buildable coverage, the creamy texture gives a soft matte finish for a perfected yet still skin-like effect. 

Who knew full-coverage concealers could feel so weightless! If you've had one too many late nights, it's time to add this to your makeup bag. 

Shiseido's Synchro Skin line is a must-try for fresh, glowing skin. The buildable coverage blends easily and looks like skin even after hours of wear. Those with warm or yellow undertones will love the colour selection, too. 

Ever on the forefront of beauty technology, Shiseido's new Gelstick concealer feels comfortable to wear and hides a multitude of sins. A gem for anyone who wants gorgeous, healthy-looking skin. 

This foundation has a cult following for buildable coverage and serious staying power, and begs the question "is there anything it can't cover?" Fantastic for those days when your skin just doesn't want to behave. 

The coordinating Double Wear Stay-in-Place Flawless Wear Concealer can also be used on top or alone and is convenient for touching up when you're on the go.

This foundation and concealer hybrid is a must-have for beauty editors, who rave about its easy-to-blend texture and ability to conceal uneven skin tones as well as blemishes.  Our testers called it an 'everyday essential'.

The Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer which (as it says on the tin) provides a 'camouflage' effect for those really-hard-to-conceal areas.

Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Éclat has won countless awards and is a firm favourite of beauty editors around the globe. It's long-wearing and luminous, and the vast shade range means there is something for everyone. 

The coordinating Touche Éclat High Cover Concealer offers brilliant and buildable coverage, the brush applicator tackles hard-to-reach corners (around your nose and the inner corners of your eyes) and it's incredibly long-lasting. Need we say more?

Long-wear, full coverage, SPF 25, radiance-boosting and a silky texture that glides over skin - this ticks all the base boxes. Apply several light layers to build more coverage if needed. 

The coordinating Power Fabric Concealer is ideal for those days when you want to go bare-faced but want to also touch-up a few areas. The creamy texture is easy to blend into bare skin, and covers pesky problems such as thread veins and blemishes. 

As you would expect from an iconic makeup artist such as Pat McGrath, this foundation really is something special. It's packed with skin nourishing and wrinkle-blurring ingredients, and the coverage can be tailored to create your desired finish. Oh and did we mention it also comes in 36 shades?

Long-wearing and lightweight but with enough pigment to hide dark under-eye circles, redness and blemishes, this concealer has a demi-matte finish so blends seamlessly into skin. Take a tip from Pat and apply it over eyelids; the creamy formula creates a smooth, even base for eyeshadow.
