Kosas Revealer Concealer: Why It Replaced My Tarte Shape Tape

Kosas launched in 2015 as a "skincare-meets-makeup" clean beauty brand. The Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer launched in 2020 and quickly took the title of "best concealer for mature skin" from Tarte's iconic Shape Tape.

What It Is

A creamy, hydrating concealer in a 0.20-oz tube with a doe-foot applicator. Retails for $30. Key ingredients: Caffeine (depuffing), hyaluronic acid, peptides, arnica (reduces appearance of darkness), and pearl powder for subtle brightening.

How It Performs

The texture is the key innovation. Most concealers are either matte and full-coverage (Shape Tape) or dewy and light coverage. Kosas Revealer manages to be medium-to-buildable coverage, hydrating (does not crease), naturally radiant finish, and long-wearing (8-10 hours without setting powder).

For mature skin specifically: this is the first concealer I've used that doesn't accentuate fine lines under my eyes.

Final Verdict

Kosas Revealer is the best under-eye concealer on the market for normal-to-dry, mature, or texture-prone skin. At $30, it's well-priced for the quality. If you've been using Shape Tape for years and finding it doesn't work as well as it used to — switch to this.
