The right spell checker to correct without censoring yourself

A skin-on-skin effect, an imperceptible texture, a naturally luminous finish… Once shunned for their cakey appearance visible from miles away, color correctors are making a comeback. A new generation of makeup products is finding its way into our makeup bags, following in the footsteps of lightweight foundations and the "no-makeup" look.

To conceal those little imperfections that bother you, you can now rely on complete skincare formulas designed to conceal without over-complicating, perfect without exaggerating, mattify without stiffening, and illuminate without shine. And the best part: they're all-purpose, addressing everything from redness and dark circles to blemishes.

A quick overview of our current favorite clean concealers – to make sure you choose the one that will hit the mark!

A recap of our "clean" complexion correctors

RMS – A cover-up

We particularly recommend it if… you have dry skin, with small flakes that traditional concealers tend to highlight (around the eyebrows, on the sides of the nose, on the chin, etc.).

Because it's formulated with an oil base and contains absolutely no water, it's the most nourishing concealer in our selection. It provides a very natural, satin finish that blends seamlessly into the skin, with an estimated wear time of up to 12 hours.

How do I use it?

As a classic concealer on imperfections you wish to minimize.

Apply a light foundation all over your face with a wide brush.

Mixed with a vegetable oil of your choice for a tinted cream effect.

Aime – Complexion Stick

We particularly recommend it if… you're looking for convenience above all else. It combines several products in a single formula: foundation, concealer, corrector, and contouring if you choose it in a dark shade.

Its stick format allows you to take it everywhere and make small touch-ups while you're on the go. You don't necessarily need a brush to apply it: the product is effortlessly workable with your finger, making it very practical for everyday use.

How do I use it?

As a concealer for your dark circles, redness and skin imperfections.

Apply foundation locally to larger areas of your face.

Apply over the SPF powder foundation to enhance coverage.

For touch-ups throughout the day to revive your radiance.

For contouring, use a dark, cool shade to sculpt your face.

RMS – Revitalize Hydra Concealer

We particularly recommend it if… you want to perform very localized correction, on sometimes tiny areas, as a replacement for your foundation. Its unique feature is its very fine, brush-like tip designed to correct the smallest areas of your face.

This technique allows you to achieve a stunningly natural complexion without feeling like you're "suffocating" your skin. It's also perfect for mature skin thanks to its smoothing effect on crow's feet.

How do I use it?

Apply directly to the targeted imperfection, blending the formula with your finger.

In the inner corner of the under-eye area, to bring light without overloading.

Absolution – The MultiCorrector

We particularly recommend it if… you're self-conscious about your dark circles. Shade 10 (a pale apricot) is specifically designed to neutralize the bluish and purplish tones of dark circles. In this case, we advise you to combine two shades: first shade 10, then a shade that matches your skin tone on top. Alternatively, you can also replace this second layer of concealer with Absolution's Crème du Teint tinted cream.

How do I use it?

For your dark circles, combine shade 10 Apricot with your usual shade.

Apply to your imperfections by first warming the product on the back of your hand.

Instead of your foundation for a slightly unifying makeup look.

Ilia – True Skin Serum Concealer

We particularly recommend it if you have dark spots. It contains stabilized vitamin C, an active ingredient renowned for its brightening and unifying properties. It's also very beneficial for the under-eye area, where dark circles and tiredness can gradually restore radiance. Its serum-like formula prevents any unsightly cakey effect, guaranteeing a natural, subtly even complexion without a cakey look.

How do I use it?

Apply over the Ilia Super serum skin tint to perfect the result.

Apply three dots to the under-eye area, tapping with your finger.

On each imperfection, under a veil of powder to fix it more permanently.
