Best Cruelty Free Concealers for Fair Skin and Pale Skin

Happy Makeup Wars Monday! Today I’m sharing the 17 Best Cruelty Free Concealers for Fair Skin / Pale Skin. Almost all of my picks are vegan. A few are not. I’ve got indie, drugstore and department store options for you so you can find an option for every budget.

17 Best Cruelty Free Concealers for Fair Skin

Pr + purchased by me.

There are two popular cruelty free concealers I left out of this roundup because I had bad experiences with both – the Too Faced Born This Way Concealers and the Tarte Shape Tape Concealers (vegan). The Too Faced Born This Way was a major disappointment because their ‘lightest’ shade is darker than their lightest foundation, so there’s no match. The Tarte Shape Tape had a good match for me – Fair Neutral – but it stank like bug spray. So neither one worked for me!

Kat Von D Concealer Swatches

1. Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme
The Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme is my favorite concealer of all time because it works so well for me. It comes in so many great shades. I love L1 Neutral for under my eyes.  L3 Warm is also great to mix with L1 for around my face. White Out can be used to lighten a foundation. It comes in 21 different shades. See my review. (vegan)

L to R Fair Neutral - Light Warm - Light Neutral
L to R Fair Neutral – Light Warm – Light Neutral

2. Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
The UD Naked Skin Concealer is an excellent concealer that I’ve loved for a long time. It comes in 11 shades. I like using Fair Neutral. See my swatches.

3. Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer Pencil
These UD 24/7 Concealer pencils have been around quite a long time. They come in 8 shades. They’re great for tossing in your makeup bag. CIA is a good shade for fair skin. (vegan)

Cover FX Concealer Swatches

4. Cover FX Blemish Treatment Concealer
The Cover FX Blemish Treatment stick concealer is easy to use around the face and it treats acne. I like N-Xtra Light for fair skin. (vegan)

5. Cover FX Perfect Pencil
I love the Cover FX Perfect pencil! It’s so easy to use around the face, under the brows, around the lips or anywhere else you need to hide imperfections. I wear N-Xtra Light and love it. See my tutorial. (vegan)

Swatches of Concealers

6. Nudestix Concealer Pencil
Nudestix concealer pencil is a really easy to apply concealer that you can blend out with your finger tips. Available in 8 different shades. Light 1 is a good shade for fair skin that leans cool toned. (vegan)

7. NARS Stick Concealer
NARS Stick Concealer is an awesome stick concealer that I’ve loved for years. It comes in 10 different shades. Chantilly is perfect for pale skin.

8. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a great liquid concealer. It comes in about 16 different shades. I love Chantilly on me. NARS is coming out with a new concealer soon! It’s the Soft Matte Complete concealer.

9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Concealer
I’ve not tried this myself but I’ve heard several makeup artists rave about it. I think 0.5 would be a good shade for fair skin.

10. Shea Moisture Creme Concealer (drugstore option)
This is a relatively new concealer available in 5 shades for fair to dark skin. Porcelain should work for fair skin.

11. Nyx Cosmetics Hi Definition Photo Concealer (drugstore option)
Nyx has some good drugstore concealers. Alabaster is for pale skin.

12. RCMA 5 Part Palette
Mine has KA-1, KA-2, KA-3, KA-4 and KO-2. This palette is for very pale to fair skin tones and it works perfectly for me. You can use it as concealer or foundation. (vegan)

13. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Skin Conceal (indie option)
OCC Skin Conceal is an awesome concealer. It comes in 12 shades. I like Y0 and Y1. See swatches of all shades. (vegan)

14. Milani Secret Cover Concealer Cream (drugstore option)
Secret Cover Concealer Cream comes in 8 shades. 07 Natural Beige is supposed to be a good color for fair skin. (vegan)

15. Silk Naturals HD Cream Concealer (indie option)
This HD Cream concealer comes in a stick and all shades are slightly yellow tinted to help cancel out redness or dark marks. #1 is good for pale skin. (vegan)

16. Silk Naturals Peach HD Cream Concealer (indie option)
This HD Cream concealer is designed specifically for dark undereye circles. P10 is good for ultra fair skin. (vegan)

17. The All Natural Face Cream Concealer (indie option)
This one comes in several different shades. Ecru (light beige), Patina (reduces redness and covers rosacea), Midas (corrects dark circles), Salmon (corrects dark circles for deeper skintones), Parrish (balances skintone), Dawn (balances out too-yellow skin). (vegan)

  1. Hmm.. in the swatches on your arm, the NARS Chantilly and UD Fair Neutral look similar. But in the swatches on the back of your hand, UD Fair Neutral looks much darker than Chantilly. Are you sure it’s the Fair Neutral shade in the hand photo? I’m trying to find a dupe for Chantilly now that Nars isn’t cruelty-free, and many swatches I’m finding show UD Fair Neutral to be really similar, but these are throwing me off!

    1. UD Fair Neutral is darker than NARS Chantilly. You should look at Kat Von D L1 Neutral or Cover FX N-Xtra Light stick (the cream is darker than the stick for some reason) as a replacement for NARS Chantilly. I’m absolutely positive it is because I write down what I’m going to swatch, put the products in order, and then swatch them.

  2. I love these choices! There are several concealers I’ve been dying to try but wasn’t sure if they were light enough, and now I know 🙂 Thank you for these amazing swatches!

  3. I’ve been using Kat Von D Lock It Concealer and Foundations for a bit and absolutely love them!

  5. I love the UD stick concealer in the shade CIA, it’s super creamy and really pale. I bought it half off from Glambot. I’d love to try NARS’ Chantilly or KVD’s newest shades :’)

  6. I actually don’t know about fair skinned beauties, because I am more towards the deeper side. But I guess kat von d has the best range of shades.

  10. I’m loving this roundup because my old concealer isn’t covering my under eye circles anymore and I need something new.

  11. Wow!!! What a selection! I always take note of what you recommend as our skin tones are similar. Great pics!

    1. I’m envious the It Cosmetics works for you because it’s too dark for me. However, it has amazing pigmentation. You should definitely give the Kat Von D a try.

  13. So many great choices! Interesting to hear you like the KVD. I’ve heard a lot of artists in store saying otherwise…

  16. I love seeing all these concealer swatches. I need to go and look at the Kat von D concealer shades in person and swatch them – they have quite the range in shades!

  17. I love most of your choices since I have many in my collection: CoverFX, Nars, Urban Decay, Kat Von D. I know you absolutely love the new Kat Von D.

  18. WHOA, Courtney– this is an absolutely incredible list of CF concealers! I need to bookmark this page and try a lot of these!
